Theme name/layout: Bases in Tabula Rasa

Layout info: see the layer?

I've finished converting into em and variables. (:

Note: The footer is disabled and this layout only functions in two-columns-right and one-column.

I see the layer!

Fantastic conversion; it's going to be very very (and did I say very?) easy to make this an official layer.

It looks...quite skinny in Safari 4.0.3. Skinny in Flock 2.5.2 (Based on Firefox 3.5) on a Mac. I'll post screen caps when I can.

In converting it, I made it a toplayer layout, not a theme of Tabula Rasa, so I edited the note to just say "Bases" instead.

I also removed the invisible separator hack div, and the #tertiary div (carry overs from Tabula Rasa).

Also removed the footer from the HTML altogether *g*

Just very tiny tweaks to get rid of stuff that wasn't being used

One suggestion, how about we make the blockquote background color a slightly lighter color of the page background? $*color_page_background->lighter() lightens it just a tidge. I noticed it was something like that in your original previews, and that could be useful for color themes of your layout with slightly darker backgrounds.

And speaking of color themes, I was showing off your layout in IRC, and someone in there liked it so much they went ahead and submitted a color tweak on the spot (which set a record for how quickly someone-not-the-author submitted a theme after a layout was made official). I mean, the layout hasn't even been committed yet *g*!

I have the color shift here right now:

So, FYI: I've named the current theme "Tropical", of the layout "Bases", and the color shift is "Summer Holiday. Do tell me if you have something different in mind!

Oh! Also one tiny thing: the layout credit module, the user name, etc, shows up below the layout, because it's a dd/dl combination. Any preference for how you want that to show, or does that look good to you now? :)

Just finished all the tweaks you suggested, and fudged about a hover color, and then I realized that I hadn't shown you your own layout layer (though I am pretty sure you know what it looks like!)

Here's the two themes:

And thank you for this layout! I'm really looking forward to having it go live :)

Oh hey, you have a couple of months of paid time coming to you. Which account do you want them to be credited to?
