1 New Style w/ 1 Theme: Practicality (tabula rasa)

[timeasmymeasure]

I finally got this one done!

Layout Name: Practicality
Layout Info: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layerbrowse?id=158205
Layout Source: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layersource?id=158205
Layout Preview: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/preview_redirect?layoutid=158205

And a theme for color context:
Theme Name/Layout: Warmth / Practicality
Layout: Info || Source || Preview

I was wondering if someone could help me crack the reason for my recalcitrant column setups? I've managed to set the two-column right/left. However the one-column version keeps the 15em default width in the modules and the three-column right/left/sides setups look a bit off to me.

Otherwise, I think it's pretty much done. If you see anything else off, please let me know, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

I think keeping the second bit would be ok because the entry_title should always be visible over the entry background.
Sound logic. Let's go with that. For the navstrip too :)
Thanks.

Edit: making styles work with light on dark and dark on light themes is one of the harding part of making styles for me.
I'm always freaking out about this because I work with dark on light much more than light on dark. Sometimes it feels like shots in the dark.

Thanks.

Thank you. It's always great to work with you. And easy. And fast. I think I just have to make the previews and I can put this up for review. *bg*

:) Same here.

By the end of our sessions, the layout's half yours anyway =D
I learn a lot from the back and forth, more than I would if I just stared at the code and tried to fix things myself.

Oh, this is always exciting! Makes me long for a code push :p

:) I learn a lot. You pay a lot of attention to details which in turn makes me pay much more attention to them too.

Easiest preview ever: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3056
I'm looking forward to it as well!

Committed!

Hey, random question:
Do I contact support if I'm having issues setting up a dreamhack?

Re: Committed!

[ninetydegrees]

Support isn't the best place, I think. You can e-mail Sophie (her e-mail address is at http://hack.dreamwidth.net/maintainers.shtml), ask questions at dw_dev_training and on the dev IRC channel (see http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/IRC).

Also, if you haven't seen them already, Sarken's written a newibe guide for Mac users (http://sarken.dreamwidth.org/1747903.html) and I've made one for Windows users (http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Newbie_Guide_for_Windows_People_Working_on_Minor_Bugs).

Edit: and, of course, you can ask anybody you know has a hack questions.

Re: Committed!

[timeasmymeasure]

Thanks so much! I'll check out your guide.
Though fair warning, you may be the person I know who has a hack, sorry :p

Not a problem at all! :)
