Dreamscapes

Refried Tablet is very nearly finished! And I have made some color themes for it, and I would appreciate it greatly if you guys could double-check that there are no completely unseeable or oddly invisible color combos. Thanks.

Layout: Refried Tablet

Theme: Seeded Preview / code

Theme: Cherry Icing Preview / code


Theme: Autumn Night Preview / code

This is, in some ways, a proof of concept for something I suspected was true but wanted to find out for sure. I made a color theme for every current official style to match this year's NaNoWriMo webbadges. Once I worked out the basic color scheme, I was able to port to most system styles with minimal adjustment. A couple of branchandroot's styles call the color of an element from a non-standard place (e.g., the footer link in Stepping Stones gets it color from the pagetitle), a few I adjusted for minor aesthetic reasons (usually adjacent blocks of the same color making an odd shape), and I did Transmogrified completely differently because the alternating entry colors can be controlled via the wizard.

They are, at the moment, all named NNWM 2009, but that might be confusing. If I could get comments on that as well, I'd appreciate it.

It appears the new layouts don't have tags?

( Blasted Sands )

( Golden Ticket )

( Subtle Almond )

For the Negatives style, I have set visited link colors, but the style does not yet use them, so those will spring into existence later.

For the Transmogrified style, I have set page link colors, in anticipation of my suggestion to set them being approved and acted on.

Okay, so I made it my personal mission to make a theme for Tabula Rasa that looks like Refried Paper. Can you let me know if there's any essential Refried Paper element you think I'm missing, or anything I added that seems against the spirit of Refried Paper?

(I know that all of the metadata is above the entry in Refried Paper. I cannot wrap my head around CSS positioning to get that to work on a Tabula Rasa based theme. Any advice would be welcome.)

P.S. I have it live on my journal, if you're interested in checking it out.

P.P.S. I am using the Tabula Rasa stylesheet. Can someone let me know if that has to be changed pre-conversion?
