Kiwi and Sand and Seaweed are beautiful!

I'm wondering one thing though, why don't the calendar dates keep inside their "box"? It's like they're in a slightly larger font size than everything else in the sidebar. I seem to remember having noticed this before in some of the styles though at the moment I can't remember which ones.

Thank you.

That's weird, they keep inside their box for me. Only changed the colours, too, didn't tweak anything else.

Hmmmm, to me it looks like this. As I said, this isn't the first time I've noticed it and I've been thinking forever that I really should try and investigate what exactly is going. I just keep forgetting though and tomorrow I'm going on vacation for ten days so it doesn't look like it will get done this time either.

What browser/OS are you using? It might help dancing_serpent troubleshoot.

Ooops, forgot to include that, sorry! It's Firefox 3.6.17 on Mac OSX 10.5.8

That happens when you make the sidebar narrower. The calendar is a table, so it can only get so narrow. The default sidebar width is wide enough to accommodate it, but narrower settings may mean it overflows.

You should be able to make the calendar smaller by adding:

.module-calendar { font-size: .75em !important; }

to the custom css, if you wish.

Thank you, I really have no idea about coding etc. As I said, I'm only changing the colours and don't tweak anything.

I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, I always keep my sidebar rather narrow so that's probably the cause in this case. I was playing around with Drifting some time ago and decreasing the sidebar font had no effect on the calendar - I never had the time to look into it properly - and I thought this might be connected somehow.

[branchandroot]

Yeah, Drifting isn't one of mine, so I couldn't say off the bat. Adding the "!important" to the font size in a css statement should always do the trick, though, even if there's a conflicting css order for, I dunno, table font size or such.

[baggyeyes]

Ah.

[dancing_serpent]

I had just wanted to ask if it could be because the numbers are bolded, but branchandroot answered for me.

[branchandroot]

Oo, lovely! Those will be good low-contrast themes, too, and I know we're a little short on those.

[dancing_serpent]

Thank you. *g* I still love Fluid Measure a lot (and kind of dislike creating themes for styles I don't like).
