Koi

Layout: Koi
Layout info: layout layer | live | preview
Images info: Located at imgur, because photobucket resizes large images. Bummer.

OMG! Yay, it's done! Needs lots of testing.

If you have any suggestions as to some of the wording in the customization wizard or on anything, really, please let me know. This is my first time doing a layout like this and I'm open to anything.

I'll print and send my CLA some time this week.

I just have ONE suggestion, and that is for a little bit of padding or margin on things right up against the left edge!

But this is GREAT work! Thank you so much!

VERY lovely. A couple of immediate thoughts upon a quick scan:

1. A custom navstrip is ... no fun. I'll spend an hour in frustrated WHICH CODE IS IT? squinting if I change something in the main layout and suddenly my navstrip's unreadable. (As I discovered with Practicality today, SLDKJFGRRARGH.)

2. Links within journal entries need an underline. Usernames are bolded, so they stand out from the text, but plain links are too close in hue. Need something to stand out.

3. Tinified icons look cool, but make it reaaaaaaaaally difficult for me to identify people on my reading page without majorly confused peering. (Image recognition is far more immediate than text.) If I used this layout, first thing I'd do is strip the small-sizing out of the userpic code (and then lose some years off my life re-adjusting the margins).

This looks lovely!
Though, one thing needs fixing, the middle poll bar is stretched and huge for some reason, while both ends of the bar are still displaying normally. I have no idea what could cause this though.

The only issue I've noticed is that the navigation bar links don't wrap which means some links are hidden by Search if you increase the font size and/or decrease the font resolution.

this is so awesome, I am adding this to my memories for when I feel like I need a new layout (just got one recently). it's the same layout I use for my wordpress blog. which I really need to update... *wanders off*

This is gorgeously done. I'd love to see a few more themes on the same base layout principle — I think that this (and others) would fill a gap that a lot of people complain about, the lack of image/graphics pretty themes like this.

Very pretty!!

I've just emailed Denise my CLA.

Hi mmmag,

I've started working on converting this to a Tabula Rasa style. There are things I haven't integrated yet like the Navigation Strip and the footer most notably and things which might not be displayed correctly or haven't been tested at all but I'd appreciate it if you could have a look and tell me what's ok/wrong/buggy:

Here's a link to a preview:
