I love Faerie and Retro Circus II. They're so gorgeous.

While I love the rusty colors of Retro Circus (I), I have to say that the contrast level was so low, I had trouble reading it. I didn't have this problem with your other themes.

*nods.*

I suppose, then, that I shall have to make Retro Circus III, with the same rusty colours but a higher contrast. The contrast was pretty comfortable for me, but I have a few strange levels of comfort for that. I like low contrast, and certain bits of normal, and certain bits of high, and anything outside of those can be painful.

[ex_rising236]

Thank you! :)

Considering I've made the same remarks a little while ago, I'd like to say that if that's what's comfortable for you, chances are it's also what's comfortable for some other users and, seeing as we have very few low contrast themes and those we have are very specific, I think you're right to stick to your original design. :)

::sneaks in with proud link:: These are our lower contrast themes! (I finished that classification system yesterday.)

[suncat]

Then yes, make Retro Circus III! A wide selection is good.

:D :D :D

I do try and make themes in a variety of ranges of contrast and such. Some higher, some lower, and it all balances out in the end.

It has been added to the list!

Wild West

In order to make sure that the navigation strip has colors which match entries (so text is visible and all that) I had to set entry text and link colors explicitly. This makes the entry header border switch from black to yellow (same as sidebar modules). Are you ok with that or do you want me to change it back?

The link you just linked me to is showing a Fluid Measure theme, but yeah. I don't know why I hadn't set those explicitly, I usually /try/ to remember to do that.

Re: Wild West

[ninetydegrees]

Oh my apologies. It should display Wild West now.
Well, if you're not using the nav strip, everything looks fine because page colors apply.

Edit: and thank you very much for correcting my patch name. :)

Re: Wild West

[ex_rising236]

You're welcome. Mainly I was just like "huh I am nothing to do with that what?" and then figured that instead of telling you and having more time spent on it I could just correct it myself and then everything would be much better.
