I'd rather keep it unique th HMVC and HMR. If / when I decide to change the design, then I'll put it on the themes page :)

I may need therapy… but a bunch of hyperactive editors is just going to drag me right back in. So much for losing an addiction! :P

I just got back from work, so I'm on here checking a few things out and wading slowly through the 80+ mails from wikidot that I got today. I'm lucky, it used to be about 150 per day until I started unsubscribing from everything.

:-) I'm going to start Wikiholics Anonymous, join the site and get notifications whenever we edit a page!!

Can you think of a fix for the bug?

Although, this theme does make my front page look quite ugly so that's what I'll be concentrating on now.

Still have the problem with IE showing the collapsed menu buttons badly once clicked. But who uses that crappy browser anyway? :D

Ok, to-do list:

• Remove top ad.
• Tweak link colours
• round-off corners… could an image be used for the background of #main-content so that it looks ok in all browsers?

For the buttons, I used a wikidotted form of this: http://www.oscaralexander.com/tutorials/how-to-make-sexy-buttons-with-css.html

Unfortunately, I can't think of a way of making a fix for IE bug:

• Push one of the drop down buttons
• And again to collapse the links
• Now half of the button disappears :s

Here's my wikidot version:

• Surround the links with "button class" and the collapsed links with "indent class".
• Then use the following CSS:

 .button a{ background: transparent url('/local--files/test:css/openpush.png') no-repeat top left; text-decoration:none; color:black; display: block; padding:4px 0 4px 8px; margin:0 0 -8px 5px; } .button a:active{ background: url('/local--files/test:css/openpush.png') no-repeat bottom left; outline: none; color:black; } .indent{ margin:0 0 -8px 10px; } 

Given that you have rounded corners for the buttons, and the title image is also curved, the square corners of the top of the main content make it look (for me) a bit odd. I know this wouldn't work for IE but you might want to consider adding -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px and -moz-border-radius-topright:10px - and -webkit-border-radius of course - to soften the corners slightly for those of us on FF and Safari.

I agree with Brunhilda about the ad boxes, particularly the one in the centre at the top of the page. Given that top centre is one of the first places the eye goes to on a site, the ad box in that position slightly takes the focus away from the site itself. That's great for the advertiser but not really what you want.

Maybe, when you finish, you can put this theme on the Themes site…

Something in the yellow color family (like the background of the code block here) looks nice, I think:

 .printuser { color: #FCFFDF; } #login-status a { color: #FCFFDF; } 

I think the side navigation menu is especially nice!

Just click on any internal link to see what it currently looks like.

Any opinions welcome. I've been staring at it for so long now; I don't know what looks ok and what doesn't!
