Looking at the navigation module across the top, the hover colour only seems to work on "Memories". None of the other menu items change colour on hover. Why is this happening? - now in Bugzilla.

Also, the tags page has just the pale grey background, not the dark background I used for the entries. How can I get a dark background on the tags page, so it's readable, without losing the grey on Recent Entries? - fixed for this theme, though the bug should also go in Bugzilla.

The hover color won't necessarily come up on visited links, I have not worked out why.

hover colors don't apply to visited links on Dreamwidth. I *think* this might be because we define a:visited before a:hover, which then doesn't get applied to visited links.

Maybe this should be fixed.

I think that should be changed, yes. For me, it's unintuitive as it is - hover behaviour is an easy way to spot links.

I'll put it in Bugzilla.

Thanks.

I don't know about the pale grey in the entry footer and page header, the white links are almost invisible against it on my monitor. Perhaps it ought to be a bit darker?

[cesy]

Thank you - that was meant to be the same black as the entries in those places. It appears to be applying the page background colour instead. I've darkened the page background for now, which should make it readable (tell me if it's still too light), and submitted a Support request to get the properties separated out eventually.

That's much better! (Gah! Using the same setting for multiple things like that should be avoided at all cost, it makes customising layouts so much harder!)
