Whole lotta themes.

Nine themes, not all for the same layout or anything like that. All recycled colour schemes, I have some new ones that I'll be coming up with soon, but for now, enjoy!

Theme Question: Abstractia

Hi, all! As any fans of the layout know, it has long suffered from an absence of pale themes. This is a problem I plan to remedy with six new layouts similar to this.

BUT. There's always a but!

Current Abstractia themes have a certain grouping with the semitransparent bg images that make up their transparent effect, and these pale themes would require different grouping. In other words:

.entry and .entry .footer currently share a bg image. (One variable, like $*entry_and_footer, in the code.) In the pale layouts, they would have separate bg images.

I can think of two ways to fix this:

  1. Adjust Abstractia's main layout to separate the images appropriately in its CSS.
    Pros: More flexibility for other themers.
    Cons: Currently there are 50 themes, and each one would have to be altered for this or risk breaking them.

  2. Make the pale themes override the main layout's CSS so that there are only separate images where needed.
    Pros: Easier to implement... right now.
    Cons: Anyone who wanted to mimic the effect would have to know more about templates, or would at least have to know enough to copy what I had done. Also, for themers who want the old look, they would have to know which images to make share which bg images to achieve it.


  3. Thoughts?

    Thanks!
