I've recently switched to using one of the Abstractia themes (Deep Forest) and I've mostly managed to adapt it how I want.

My feed entries still don't look quite right though, and I was hoping that someone might be able to help me sort them out. I'm using custom CSS adapted from previous entries here to make all feed entries have a userpic and to make them a fixed height.

.journal-type-Y .userpic {
background: url(link to userpic) center no-repeat;
width:100px;
height:100px;
float: left;
margin-top: -1.0em;
border: .50em solid #000400;
}

/* max-height for syndicated journals on reading page */
.page-read .journal-type-Y .entry-content {
margin-top: 1.5em;
max-height: 30em;
overflow: auto;
}


There are two problems that I'm not sure how to fix:
1. The style has a double border round the entry userpics - a thin line round the outside of the black box - and I'm not sure how to replicate that.
ETA - the thin line border isn't that obvious - I hope you might be able to see the difference in these two screen shots.




On the right, there's a line border round both the heading and the userpic, on the left, it's only round the heading.

2. The normal entries wrap nicely round the userpics, while the feed entries almost touch them and then continue straight down the page, as you can see on my reading page. I'd like to get them to wrap as well, if it's possible. FIXED thanks to [personal profile] foxfirefey

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Ah, yes, um, that line changes the colour, my suggestion changes the colour, but in slightly different ways, so the last bit of code applies. That makes sense. I'll have more of a play later, see if I can figure out a better way of doing it, my original code was a fudge on my blank layout anyway, adding something to an existing layer you can easily get clashes, if you work from scratch nothing clashes but you've got to get first principles in line.
