Need feedback on a theme
So I recently designed a theme and uploaded it to ThemeForest. However, it wasn't approved, and they said it doesn't meet their quality standards. They also said they couldn't name specifics "at this stage in the design".
They also said it would need some significant improvements.
So, here's a demo of the theme on my site: http://lucasbytegeni.us/vanilla/
Could you guys give me some feedback on where to start improving it? I was thinking possibly a redesign of the content area and the addition of social icons, maybe some CSS3 transitions on the links, what do you think?

the search box is not visible firefox 3
the header bar doesn't always stay on top when you scroll images and text were passing over it.
I would put some margin between the side Panel and Content it looks crammed.
grep is your friend.
2. Works fine in FF8.
3. It was supposed to look attached to the content area, but I'll make it look separate.

feedback is it I not my taste but some like this style, but I would work at details to get consistent styling for example the size an look of the buttons. Because some are tab, links and actual buttons, either make them the same or differentiate for contrast.
it is worth looking in browser like safari, opera, chrome, etc.
I liked your previous themes better.

Here's a helpful website showing browser usage statistics: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
Thanks for the suggestions on the buttons.
And thanks for liking my other themes
a.Button {increase it to 6px and it is more like the Tab buttons. Those sorts of details, fine tuning....
padding:4px;
}
Also I like the gradient on the button. I would keep it for active, but perhaps differentiate with a slight different colour.

We are 18 months into a project , in house, and circa 250 grand of dev time. I can honestly say we have had 100's of sleepless nights because we have to make our site(s) cross browser compatible, not so much with forums such as vanilla, because out of the box its pretty much CB Compliant.
But inevitably you MUST test in all major browsers.
TIP: when creating a button using css alone, set padding in 2 directions. so:
padding: 4px 8px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
height:20px;
etc etc ( thats just a example )

He will load it up on multiple browsers. You cannot ignore IE.
As a rule of thumb, we only support ie 8 and ie 9
We insist js isnt disabled or we send them somewhere else.
FF is very forgiving, and to behonest I use it as default. But you can become sloppy because of its tolerance to bad code.
The rule of thumb is if it looks good in IE it should look fantastic in all other browsers

Also, the file submission form allowed me to specify which browsers the theme worked in, I left IE out, so I don't think that's an issue.
I will try to get it working ok as much as I possibly can in IE however, it still has a large percentage of the browser market.
I recently started using Firefox again and I really like it. Chrome has some performance issues with scrolling when there's fixed elements on the page, at least for me.
