So Shoot Me!

Yes, you’re both going to complain that the idiot has changed the theme yet again.

I have an almost valid excuse this time though! When I am posting photos into the blog one of the standard widths for images from Flickr is 500 pixels. Chaotic Soul displayed the images and the sidebar beautifully in Firefox and Opera, but as per usual, with Internet Explorer 500 px is seven pixels wider than the layout was happy with. It would drop the sidebar to the bottom of the content. This really got on my nerves.

The theme you’re looking at now is Very Plain Text and is usually white and all upper case. I have hacked the CSS a little to change it to a dark background and removed all the forced upper case on the theme. I will go back later and remove the red underline on hover links (hover over a bright white link in the sidebar and you’ll see what I mean!) another night. I will also tone the bright white stuff down a little. I really just wanted it to be visible and not the pale blue colour that the original theme has…

I’m going to go to bed now.

Sounds like a job for… my un-named greasemonkey script.

Links are the same colour as the background in this theme. :)

Only in the comments! Not sorted them yet, trying to stop for the night! Must stop playing… must…stop…playing…

Don’t suppose the greasemonkey script will do anything about comments that have huge long URLs in them then? ;)

Interesting script though, thanks for the information!

I like the appearance of this theme far better than the last one. I also like the size of the font.
P.S. The Harley pics are very very good. :)

Theme is nice, I like it. The comments section needs looking at though, like you said. :)

Thanks folks. I would get on and look at the comments tonight but my main PC crashed last night my server is in use by a friend to do a video for the Mini Club and the Laptop is far too bloody slow!

I’ll sort it as soon as I can! :)

Well, that looks a little better! :)
