I've tested this as extensively as possible, but I'd really appreciate it if someone would take a look and let me know if anything needs fixing. The layout should work in all configurations -- one column, two columns left, three columns sides, etc.

I'll be away in internet-less lands for maybe two, three days (scary!) starting tomorrow, so I might not be able to reply immediately.

I'd also like to try to make and submit a patch for this one, if that's ok? It may take a lot of hand-holding -- I've never submitted a patch before! :) I've tagged it as "unclaimed" for now, though.

Yeah, s'cool to submit a patch for it (in fact, s'way cool!)

Hm, I know we have someone putting up a guide for it. Maybe well get it posted in time for when you get back :)

Hi Yati,

May I ask which OS you use? I've written a newbie guide for Windows people and I wanted to know if it could be useful to you. :)

[yati]

Hello!

I use both Windows Vista and Ubuntu. Though now it's mostly Vista, because the other laptop just died. I'd love to see the guide! :)

Here it is: http://experiment.dreamwidth.org/9596.html

I tried to detailed each step as carefully as possible so it's very long. If you use it, please do tell me anything that could make it better.

Ah, thank you. But I use a slightly different workflow -- basically I just use putty and ftp things back and forth. And I'm actually quite familiar with most of the code and I have some technical background, so I ended up just skimming the earlier part of the post. But I'm pretty sure it'll be very useful to anyone who has never submitted a theme before.

I'm glad I read it to the end, though. I almost forgot we needed to ask for the screenshots!

[ninetydegrees]

No problem. Then maybe you've got some tips to give me. Anything you think is good to know?

[zvi]

Is this final? Did you decide if you were going to do the patch?

[yati]

No, it's not. I still need to fix something for Opera.

Yes, I'll be doing the patch. Thanks for asking. :)

Hi again Yati,

Same question as Zvi I'm afraid. :) If you stil plan on patching this, would you file a bug in Bugzilla? This way everybody can know it's yours and won't start on working on it before realizing you wanted to do it yourself.

[yati]

Will do! Thanks for the reminder -- I'll file one once I get home later, and hopefully will have something to submit soon. :)
