    It's almost finished. I encourage you to test it at dkdev.pl/vanilla/. Please note that I've tested it only on Firefox and now I'm starting to apply fixes for other browsers. Nevertheless, I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions.

    looks nice! good job! comments & suggestions: - play with a couple of users with different username length, may be you see more issues then - in the discussion list, there isn't the "new" section, to say how many new comments are in the discussion? - in the comments page, play also with user icons, the "administrator" gets cut by the comment header - the code text could be wrapped? - in the account page, the discussions started field in the user information area falls of the line and that's all, take it as a constructive comment, because for the rest of the style it just looks great ;)

    The information about new comments in a discussion will appear when you apply for membership.

    As I wrote before, it's almost finished :D and there might be huge display problems in browsers other than Fx. It'd be really helpful if you could tell me which browser you're using and show a screenshot.

    Oh, and I haven't played with CSS regarding code, blockquote, ul, ol etc., yet. There still are a few things that I'm aware of and need to be fixed, but those are minor problems and I thought the theme is ready for a debut and some beta testing.
  • HamedHamed
    one thing
    can you make the people.css look like the rest of the theme as well?

    - the role cut in the comments page
    Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

    - the account page

    hope it helps!
  • HamedHamed
    umm
    what program are you using there?
  • miquelmiquel
    in the first screenshot? it's firebug, an extension of firefox to play with html-js-css of the pages you view is quite useful ;)
  • HamedHamed
    very nice
    i gotta get me that
    thanks

    @Hamed: Yes, people.css will also be modified.

    @miquel: Doesn't Ubuntu have Tahoma font?! The font-family I'm using all over the theme is

    font-family: "lucida grande",tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif
    and I can see from the screenshots you provided that everything is displayed in Verdana (?). Guess I need to widen a few blocks :]
  • miquelmiquel
    mmm, dunno, where can i check it? but i think mine doesn't :P

    miquelthe code text could be wrapped?
    SoftWrap does that; I wouldn't include it in the theme, as some people may not want that.
  • wernerveldmanwernerveldman
    Whoo i like this theme :D
  • sirlancelotsirlancelot New
    Wow, this looks great! One thing that needs mentioning though: this is a theme. I tried to apply it as a style to Lussumo Community and bad things happened ;)

    No complaints from me. Just another thing to keep in mind regarding miquel's "account page" issue: Since Vanilla allows custom fields to be added to a user's account, there is no way to determine how long the field name will be. I suggest making the style able to span multiple lines. Probably not an easy task but just simply resizing the name column is not going to fix the bigger problem.

    Awesome work! I'll keep watching :)
  • dkodrdkodr
    Yes, this is a theme (I guess I mentioned it a few posts earlier), highly modified in some areas. I've edited the topic of this discussion - might've been misleading :]

    As for new (long) labels on the account page, I thought I manged to find a good way to display them, but as you pointed out, I was wrong :] No worries! Those are only minor problems.

    But I must admit... as this is my first theme/style, the CSS file is quite messy :/ Now I know it's always better to write from scratch rather than modify someone else's stylesheet.
