Color Theme Multi-Layout Bundle: NNWM 2009

[zvi]

This is, in some ways, a proof of concept for something I suspected was true but wanted to find out for sure. I made a color theme for every current official style to match this year's NaNoWriMo webbadges. Once I worked out the basic color scheme, I was able to port to most system styles with minimal adjustment. A couple of branchandroot's styles call the color of an element from a non-standard place (e.g., the footer link in Stepping Stones gets it color from the pagetitle), a few I adjusted for minor aesthetic reasons (usually adjacent blocks of the same color making an odd shape), and I did Transmogrified completely differently because the alternating entry colors can be controlled via the wizard.

They are, at the moment, all named NNWM 2009, but that might be confusing. If I could get comments on that as well, I'd appreciate it.

Sounds like a great idea. Is there a quick way to see previews of these?

Just based on your preview of Funky Circles - Your module-calendar cuts off the numbers on the right side in Flock (2.5.2, Mac, based on Firefox 3.5).

I looked at it in Safari, and noted it looked not only cool, but wasn't cut off.


For some reason, the sidebar wouldn't load in Firefox 3.5.3. Maybe that's my dial up connection interfering.

I love your mod of Bases.

Sidebar loaded - after I posted. Of course.

I was excited to see this as I am in NaNoWriMo this year and LJ doesn't have anything like this. But I was disappointed that only one of the two new pics were used in the color scheme. Are there plans to use the other icon colors as well, maybe on a white background instead of a black this time, to make them different?

This is what I ended up choosing for my LJ, http://karieflybabe.livejournal.com/

Personally I'm not sure if there is *enough* contrast in this layout and color scheme, but it works well with the blue and green icon and pictures.
