Customizing colors of navigation strip in Abstractia [now a DW feature]

Hello,

I've been testing and really like the Abstractia layout (Seelie). But I would love to be able to customize the Navigation strip to fit the color theme, instead of the default choice light gray or dark gray, for this journal, and another. Even if it is just flat black with font colors that match the layouts. Is there a CSS for that?

Thank you.

Very possible. Do you have a hex color you want to shoot for? How much transparency?

Just as a heads-up, I'm (hopefully) going to initialize custom navstrip colors by the next codepush, across all layouts :) Not that it's an immediate fix, but it's on the radar (we've got the backend stuff all there, but nothing actually uses it right now)

Hmmm. Can you link me the big image you're trying to use to tile? I'll poke at it. Abstractia is one of our non-standard layouts so sometimes it does things a little oddly. The default should be to do one tile at full size for whatever the base image is, if tiling's not selected. So a big image should, well, stay big.

Oh Scrapbook, you weird little thing. Glad you got it figured out!

You're welcome! The people who really wanted this made dealing with the mess of code totally worth it *g*
