This one should be good to go. Tabula Rasa needs to be stripped out of the layout layer, but I think everything else is good. (Except for the part about it winning Most Uninspired Name Ever. But I'm darn proud of that sidebar!)

Great, it works, thank you very much!

Now I try to set colors as your Grayscale Light scheme (copying blocks of "set" commands from your example), but I get a compilation error in block with "navigation_link" colors. I move this block after the "propgroup more_colors" block, and it works. Is it ok or I do something wrong from the beginning?

That's just how it should work, yes! The "more colors" is full of things that don't exist in the parent layer, so you have to tell the layer they exist before you can set them.

Thanx!

I have a tiny question about Journal Title - it's not a bug as I understand, but it may confuse some non-English users. The point is that in Russian, for example (and the same for most slavic languages I know), there is no such rule as "all first letters are capital" for a title; thereby Russian title looks like "Мой основной дневник", not as "My Main Journal", for example. And I don't know why, but with your layout, my Russian title look as English title (with all first letters as capitals), while with other layouts it was normal Russin-like title (with the very first capital letter only). I'm not a grammar nazy, but it looks... well, a little non-grammar and weird for our languages.
Is it any way I can modify your layout to fix this for me and my Russian and Ukrainian friends?

That's a text transform, in CSS. A lot of themes use it on title for essentially decorative purposes--some use all capitals, for example. To undo that add this to your Custom CSS:

#title, #pagetitle, #subtitle, .entry-title, .module-header, .comment-title, .tags-container h2, #archive-year .month .header h3 { text-transform: none; }

Thanx again, it works.
Especially when I guess to insert this line in customize theme form - after several minutes of ineffective efforts to understand what's wrong, when I cram it into my layer "Custom CSS" section and nothing changes... :\

Must say, ad interim, that it's a genuine pleasure to play around with your layout! So much opportunities with colors and module placings - I can't stop and decide wich will be the best...
