Hi all
I've just used a version of Carl's Andreas06 template for my own website:

Toondesign

I'd love your comments.
I haven't quite managed to make the tabs rollovers work properly yet though. Maybe later on today if I have time.
Cheers
Ian

Ian, if you don't mind a little critique, the breadcrumb appears to have an added space so that on detail page the homepage and category links jump slightly. Also, may I suggest specifying which sidebar boxes get the small toon eyes rather than have them appear on every link.

Glad you like it - although it'll probably change a bit over the next few days.

Sorry Carl, not quite sure what you mean.

Ooh! Didn't know I could do that!!! - how please?

Here's a quirky css thing:

Safari...

Looks great, type is solid and the spacing above 'Who are we?' is correct.

Firefox...

Type looks really light and spacing above 'Who are we?' is non-existant!

I haven't tested it on Explorer yet as I'm Mac based.

Did you see my question about the rollovers in the 'Themes' section of this forum? (You'll see that I also got rid of the right hand sidebar as it limited the layout too much.

Cheers
Ian

Oh, and I want to make the eyes at the top of the page move left/right as the title changes lenghth - so it doesn't get over-written.

---Edit---
Ahh! I just noticed - in the Firefox screenshot the tabs have actually moved down about 15 pixels or so!

Any suggestions?

In your breadcrumb trail there is an additional space that appears between the >> and the category name when you hover over this. This error is in your index.tpl and is easily fixed by deleting the space.

The sidebar, sorry I just read my comment, it doesn't make much sense. What I meant is that every single link in the sidebar gets the little eyes. Take out the background image on hover for all sidebar links, and instead only put them in on specific plugins such as recent entries

Code: Select all

.container_serendipity_plugin_recententries a:hover {blah blah}

As for the spacing, I don't have much time to look into that right now but tomorrow I should be able to take a closer look - sorry it can't be sooner.

Thanks Carl.
I assume you mean in here somewhere - I just can't see it though (must need new glasses!)

Code: Select all

<div id="topbox">
<strong>
    <a href="{$serendipityBaseURL}">{$CONST.BLOG_HOME}</a>
    {if $head_title && !$entry.title | $head_title != $entry.title}
      {if $entry.title}» {/if}{$category.category_name}
    {elseif $head_title && $entry.title}
	{if $category.category_name}
      » <a href="{$category.category_link}">{$category.category_name}</a>
	{/if}
      {if $entry.title == $head_title}
        » {$entry.title|truncate:40:" ...":true}
      {/if}
    {elseif $head_subtitle}
	» {$head_subtitle}
    {/if}
    {if $staticpage_pagetitle && !$entry.title}
      » {$staticpage_headline}
    {/if}
</strong>
</div>

Thganks for the sidebar rollover tip - I just didn't know you could do that!
Love it!

Great colors, very unusual, makes you think of toons. Gotta love the eyes.

Good work.

Carl, I never did sort out the problem with the breadcrumb tail or the button rollovers.
Any suggestions?
