Tabula Rasa / Funky Circles

[ninetydegrees]

Theme name/layout: Funky Circles / Tabula Rasa
Author: ninetydegrees
Layout info: theme layer
Image info: the layout's got five images. I've made them all myself.

The layout looks fancier in Firefox but this shouldn't cause any problem in other browsers. However, the top bubbles are not exactly aligned (to account for shadows) so it may look a little weird in other browsers. I'd like feedback on that, please.

Oh and if anyone can think of a better name? My working title was Champagne but I didn't think it fitted. cesy did!

Edit: I forgot to say it should work with all layout types.

[Dear mods: I haven't converted it to use S2 properties yet but I plan on doing so. I just want to know if I need to fix anything first. Should I add the conversion tag anyway?]

Nah, add them to your next entry if yo want advice/help with conversion, though.

Ok, thanks!

Bug in Safari?

[ninetydegrees]

Turlough has some weird issue in Safari. Apparently, it's not related to my theme. I couldn't find anything in Bugzilla about this so could you confirm this, please?

Hmmm I'm seeing that behavior in Safari, but no it's not in zilla. Very odd!

Re: Bug in Safari?

OH. It is not a bug with Safari at all. And I guess it's not quite a bug, though I can see why it would be disquieting. The thing is, we don't print out the icons/links when you're logged out, since you can't use them directly.

Oh, ok. Well, I'm relieved to see I did nothing wrong. :) Thanks.

No problem! Glad I could help.

BTW, I just glanced over your theme and, wow, it is jaw droppingly gorgeous. I really like it :)

Thank you! The funny thing is that it's far busier and fancier than anything I would use myself but I thought some people would like that.

*headdesk* I didn't even think of checking if it looked different if I were logged in.

Re: Bug in Safari?

Hehehe. That bit me as well. I spent well over ten minutes digging through the source code, trying to figure out why it wasn't printingrrarrgh!

That makes me feel a little bit less silly :-)

Conversion

[ninetydegrees]

A few questions:

1) I have a limited number of colors that I try to use in different elements. For example the header background color is also the bkg color of footers and userpics, the entry border color is the same colors as part of the subtitle bkg, etc. Should I use a limited number of properties to preserve this coherence or use all properties available to let people customize this however they want.

2) I'm missing some properties. What should I do? Edit: I've just realized this is partially linked to 1) but I'd like to know the answer anyway.

3) Some property values won't work for me (I'm thinking of background position) because I'm using precise units. What should I do?
