Question Time!

[bindingthreads]

I have two specific questions for the community:

1) Please let me know if anything is horribly broken or just plain ol' buggy with Iced Cucumber, as this is my first time making a theme. I used zvi's excellent Quick and Dirty Guide to Creating a Color Theme; any errors are my own!

Theme name/layout: Iced Cucumber / ColorSide
Author: bindingthreads
Layout info: Info | Source | Preview
Image info: Not applicable.
Additional info (for layouts): I think all column types and everything should be supported. This is just a simple color change to the ColorSide theme.

2) Does anyone know how to get rid of those boxes in the header of Boxes and Borders? I have a color scheme I'd like to make for it, but those boxes are really hampering the end effect I'd like to achieve.

Thank you for your time! :D

re: question 2 - this should do the trick:

#header-decoration {
display: none;
}

don't know if that'd mess up the spacing/positioning of the rest of the layout, though. let me know? :)

Oh, that's a gorgeous colorway. If I get sick of my beloved purple, I'd change to this colorway in a heartbeat...

[bindingthreads]

Oh, thank you for this code! :D

I will try it tonight and let you know how it goes. :)

Thank you! It's nice to know that other people enjoy it. I'm just so happy that it doesn't seem to be buggy. I'm thinking of making a couple of themes for ColorSide along the same design lines as Iced Cucumber. :)

You might know this already, but layout themes for official submission go to dreamscapes! Your theme looks just fine for that, if that's what you were intending.

[ariestess]

That might be fun. I haven't played with ColorSide at all, and really probably should check it out. Especially if it allows free text boxes in the sidebar...

[bindingthreads]

I do intend to submit it to dreamscapes, eventually! :D

I just really wanted some feedback before I posted it as a submission, since I wasn't really sure if I'd done it 'right.' I actually did post it to dreamscapes with the 'needs testing' tag and a similar request for feedback, but my post doesn't seem to have gone through.

Since I know this one works now, I'll probably do a couple more color variations off the idea and then do another post to dreamscapes later! :)

That is utterly my fault--I'm one of the people responsible for the mod queue there and it slipped my notice due to the holiday weekend! Thank you so much for reminding me, hehe.

[bindingthreads]

Hehe, no worries! I figured that since I was posting at semi-ridiculous hours during a weekend and US holiday, that it probably fell through the cracks.

Thank you for taking the time to fish it up! :)
