I think this is done, but it should probably be tested by someone else.
Now tested and fixed; thanks turlough!

I'm not sure what I think of this one. The blue of the entry title bar looks a bit "fuzzy" against the black entry but the blue header looks okay against the grey background. Also, text of the headers in the sidebar are pushed right against the left side of the black bar and it looks a bit strange. The text should either be centered on the bar or there should at least be some left padding.

[cesy]

Does that brighter blue for the entry titles look better?

It's a good point about the left padding. I've added some Custom CSS to this theme that fixes it, but it might be worth getting that added to the base style as well.

[turlough]

It definitely looks better but I don't know if I think bright blue and black will ever really work together.

It definitely looks better with some padding! I notice that in the current official colour themes you don't even realise there is no padding there but when you style the colours like this it's really glaring.

[cesy]

Hmm. Should I just make the entry title background black as well? It's a little boring, but at least it all goes together. Or would a mid-grey work better?

[turlough]

Perhaps, or perhaps change to something like green instead of blue, like this: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layeredit?id=77321

Btw, the comment title has the same problems with lack of padding as the sidebar headers, as you can see here: http://turloughtest.dreamwidth.org/333.html

[cesy]

I can't see that layer - did you set the option to make it publically viewable? The green does look better, though. I'll fix the comment title padding as well.

Oops! I gave you the wrong link, it's this one of course, sorry: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layerbrowse?id=77321

[cesy]

That should be fixed now in mine.

Thanks.

Also, if OpenIDs comment, the names are sometimes long enough to overflow the Page Summary. Have you got any bright ideas to fix that, or shall I just open a Support request?

[turlough]

Open a support request is best I think.

Hi!

Very nice color selection. Some observations: The profile .userpic (Flock 2.5.2, based on Firefox 3.5, Mac) is left aligned in the sidebar .module-userprofile. In fact, all of he content in .module-userprofile is left aligned for me.

As well, there appears to be a border around the entire page. Is that a design choice? Not a complaint - just a question. Being on dialup, I'm able to see the page draw itself in slow motion. ;)

Also, the Contextual Popup is unreadable. It is white text on a white background.

Page border should be fixed now.

The left-alignment on all the modules is part of the Tranquility style - I didn't change that. Do you think it should be changed to centred?

Contextual Popup doesn't appear to be customisable - I'll submit a support request.

Re: Tranquility III: Light on Dark

[baggyeyes]

The left alignment is ok. I'm just not used to it, so it surprised me.

I didn't realize that about the contextual popup. Hrm.

Re: Tranquility III: Light on Dark

[cesy]

The contextual popup will be fixed in the next code push.

Double-checking: the modules don't have a dark background. Intentional?

ETA:
Scratch that question. Just remembered this is Tranquility, which tends to that with sidebar versus entry color. Carry on!
