Is it possible to use these for LiveJournal?

[info]gossymer

April 20 2009, 19:25:32 UTC 3 years ago

Nope, the CSS is specific for the new Core2 style DreamWidth is working on(which is AWESOME 'cause you can have modules like tags, links etc in both the sidebar and footer so I can't wait for the final release so I can try some other stuff \o/)

These are beautiful! Thank you for all the choices :D

When I post an entry that Access-only or Private, the icon is superimposed between the entry subject and text. Is there a way to fix that?

[info]gossymer

April 20 2009, 20:01:49 UTC 3 years ago

Let me see if I can mimic that problem and will update the codes with the fix

(that's partly the reason I'd rather have people link to the sheets instead of copy and paste the codes - so if any bugs pop up, I can update and have it work properly for everyone XD)

Ooh, I think I might try that out. I'm not sure I totally love the layout, but that non-scrolling sidebar is very tempting. Nice color schemes, too.

[info]avendya

April 21 2009, 01:39:06 UTC 3 years ago

Very pretty (and I'd like to use it), but I'm having issues with comments nested more than one or two deep overlapping with the sidebar.

[info]gossymer

April 21 2009, 01:56:53 UTC 3 years ago

Could you link me to a cap? And specify which browser and resolution and Mac or Windows?

[info]raynedanser

April 21 2009, 01:43:33 UTC 3 years ago

This is awesome!! I'm memorying this for now since I still can't seem to make up my mind. Thanks!

[info]nostariel

April 21 2009, 01:44:11 UTC 3 years ago

I surf with large text (zoomed to 140% on most sites) for accessibility reasons, and I noticed the layout breaks a bit at that point. Caps if you're interested:

Without images.

With images (some don't seem to be loading?).

[info]gossymer

April 21 2009, 01:54:01 UTC 3 years ago

Yikes, it was definitely not meant for larger text O_O I think a lot of my layouts probably wouldn't look quite right with those settings...

Snagged and credited. So exciting to see some snazzy layouts for DreamWidth!

[info]stepps

April 21 2009, 01:55:12 UTC 3 years ago

HOT! Am using now (apple). I had small issues installing, but that was my own fault, no worries.

These are really pretty! *mems*

[info]kitrona

The credit thing doesn't work in my bio, though perhaps that's because I'm still using my OpenID. Is this correct? I still have it showing, but the html shows, too.

[info]gossymer

April 21 2009, 02:15:17 UTC 3 years ago

Yeah, you could just type it in as just text and add a raw html link for the time being ^^
