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!

Stonehenge is my favourite. ♥ Frosty Night doesn't show for me, though.

Gorgeous! I especially like Frosty Night.

I LOVE this. Again, a nice clear layout and a great choice of headers. I found two small problems though.

1) Finches: The colour of the header in changes in the middle of my screen.

2) Fronds: Part of the journal title text is obscured by the background on the left.

I can provide screenshots if needed.

These are all beautiful!

Do you have a link to the bugzilla for this, or do you know if it's been patched and/or committed yet?

Oh oh oh! I love these! This is what I'm talking about, themes that have *personality*. These are EXACTLY what DW needs more of. I've been browsing through themes all morning, and they're all just different colored boxes to me now. So the butterflies one jumped right out at me! It's gorgeous! And 'Frosty Night', so beautifully mysterious. They're all wonderful! ^_^ People are going to just *love* these so much! I can't wait until they go live!!!

ETA: Would it be rude/bad/wrong to take the code and stick one of these on my own journal before they officially go live? ^^;

So, what's going on with this layout? If there are still CLAs missing, can it be released without those particular themes? I have to say, I'm kind of reluctant to release more layouts in the comm or design anything else for this one while it's languishing. This was the one that got the best responses from testers and drive-bys.

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.
