A lot of themes! Yay!

Can you put the layout they're for on the main entry?

And if you want to put a preview up for each theme, this entry gives a quick howto: Quick/easy preview

Thank you; I've edited the post. For some reason, if I look at several previews in succession, font colors bleed over (if it is pink in Theme A, then it stays pink in Theme B). I am not sure if that is a normal glitch, or if I did something inadvertently. I think I need a n00b icon....

[baggyeyes]

It worked perfectly. I see different color schemes.

Very nice! I have a couple of minor quibbles though: The visited links colour in Winter is a bit hard to distinguish against the background, and the links hover colour in Spring looks identical to the background colour so the link completely vanishes when I hover over it. Also, is the background of the sidebar in Yo-zakura supposed to be black? It looks a bit odd to me.

[busaikko]

Thank you, I will check those points and fix.

Hi busaikko,

Have you had time decide if you wanted to change these or not? I'm trying to see if these are ready to be patched or not. :)

[ninetydegrees]

So many different colors! My favorite's Yo-zakura because I can't resist pink. :)

Back to business: have you sent your CLA, busaikko? I'm asking because I need to mark these as patchable or not yet patchable.
You did! Which mean I can patch these! \o/

[busaikko]

Thank you! I appreciate it.

I just have one question - I rarely use Negatives - for shame! But I noticed the main links at the top (.module-section-two .module-navlinks ) show their visited color, rather than a kind of 'you are here' high-light. I'm not sure if I'm making sense. I usually know the term, and hopefully someone who does will pop in and give it.

Generally it is used as visual short hand for the user to know that they're on the Reading page, or on their Network or Recent Entries page. Just something an old kitteh like me is used to.

Right now, I'm using Easy Reader - it reminds me a lot of Old Leather Coat (?) from LJ. I think that was the name. This one, of course has more functionality and color.

The text is readable, and the theme works well, although the visited green becomes a tad hard to read against the rich brown background. Perhaps a slightly (very slight!) darker shade of green?

There are tricks to get around changing the color, if you'd like. Take a look at the resources section of Dreamscapes and stylemakers. Or, you might just find a cool color wheel maker. http://www.colorjack.com/

I think you mean the active link:

.module-navlinks a.current { }

[baggyeyes]

Yeah!

[baggyeyes]

I've been using Evening for a bit. While I do like it very much, the visited links have a tendency to disappear. You might want to lighten the shade on the vlinks.

Aside from that, I didn't find any real quibbles.

On Yo-zakura, I cannot see my links or tags. Nice pink though. :)

Question, I like negatives and use it on another journal, but will the Georgia font ever be able to be changed?

Unless I misunderstood your question, you can already choose whichever font face you prefer at http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=style.

[oona]

Thank you. My mistake. I see that now. :)

[ninetydegrees]

You're most welcome! :)

[ninetydegrees]

Ok I'm just going to assume you're happy with the themes as they are and file a bug for these.
