Conversion: the TR code needs to be stripped out of the layout layer. Image urls need to be changed. Extra propgroups need to be subbed to appropriate Style > Colors groups in the layout .pm file (see Funky Circles pm for an example).

Also: I was going to wait until the function for moving nav links between sidebar and header was ironed out, but that's clearly still in process. At the moment, this does it purely by css. If it seems better, in the end, to do it in the html, I suggest that option be cranked into the core layer, the same way the userpic side switching option was.

And many thanks to the image contributors!

I'm going to start working on a patch for this - is it alright if I clean up some of the dw-free images? Black Hill has a bit of a line in it, and I think I can smooth out the vector effect in Stonehenge some.

[branchandroot]

Yeah, I think that would be okay. I know I got permission to modify Black Hill. I'm less positive about Stonehenge, but all the artists seemed okay with the idea of me (or another volunteer) cleaning up the edges.

Alright! It's been pretty small changes anyway - touching up a few joins, and smoothing Stonehenge out a little (and fixing the color profile problem that was making it not match the background for some people!). If you want to see, the layouts are all on my Hack right now. Still trying to fuss out the join in Frosty Night.

[branchandroot]

Sweet! Especially the bloody color profile, the artist and I never did nail down that one and it frustrated me to no end.

I looked over all the previews, and they are lovely! In Seaside, though, it looks like the second picture, the blue wave, is missing? Did it just not get added, or did I mess up the background color in that header?

I don't see a join in Frosty Night, on my monitor; could that one be a color profile issue also? The backgrounds came from the same image, so you'd think not, but that issue is always a stinker.

Oh bah, I thought I fixed the problem with Seaside. That was me misnaming an image file, your theme is fine. With Frosty Nights, I don't think it's a color profile issue, there's just some fuzzing right where the tile joins on one side - I think from the work to make it continuous. Not a huge thing, but for some reason I'm good at spotting stuff like that and then they drive me crazy *g*
