Unfortunately your preview link doesn't work.

[kerravonsen]

Er, help? It works for me.

"Given theme id does not correspond to a layer usable by the given user."

I think you need to make your layer public:


layerinfo is_public = 1;

[ex_rising236]

Works now!

[kerravonsen]

Thanks! Done.
I was following the Quick And Dirty Guide and it didn't mention that.

[ninetydegrees]

Hmm. I think the guide doesn't explain how to link to previews but, for future reference, this entry does:

Thanks.

I like the color scheme. My only criticism is that the link color, when appearing in the sidebar, doesn't have enough contrast, at least on my monitor. Maybe make it a darker turquoise?

[kerravonsen]

I've tweaked it - is it better now?

[suncat]

Very much better. Readable and attractive.

The colors are lovely and I'm really looking forward to using this. Sorry to say it, but I'm afraid I agree that the sidebar link color isn't quite dark enough. The color for links that have been followed recently may also needs to be a little darker -- I have no trouble reading it when the font is in bold, say for a user's name? But it's a little dim when it isn't bolded. Maybe the lovely dark green you're using up top in the header bar?

Thanks again -- this is lovely! (And a peacock icon, since why not?)

[kerravonsen]

Peacock!

I've tweaked the visited sidebar link colour - is that better?

[rhi]

Oh, yeah, the sidebar link color is nicely readable now! The recently followed links color, however, is still pretty low contrast. Um. If you check out my page in this style (http://rhi.dreamwidth.org/?s2id=83381) and look for the text 'on the HL fiction archive' you can see which color I mean. Sorry not to be able to give you the precise hex value! And the peacock icon was made by lanning and is shareable if you'd like!

ETA: Damn. I'm sorry, I forgot, *I've* been to that site recently, not you. Gah!

[kerravonsen]

I've swapped the "visited" and "hover" colours for entries - is that better?

[rhi]

Oh, yeah, that did it! Man, that's pretty! Thank you!

Your theme has been committed and will go live with the next code push. :)

[kerravonsen]

Yay!
