Hi everybody!

It would be nice to recieve some critics or comments before I'll finish.

Thanks again,

Holy Carp!

I'm speechless. That's incredible.

Oooh! It's got a menu bar, too!

Just wow. I can't wait to see it in the repository.

The calendar, when set to a foreign language that uses three-character day names, seems to have been messing people up recently.

And there's an off-by-one error in IE/Win, making the sidebars jagged (and much less impressive).

But I'll bet that's why it's a "work in progress". Personally, I find this one of the most impressive Serendipity themes I've encountered.

Great! Really!

I would like the first line (* : Link1 : * : Link2 : * : So viel Sand und keine Förmchen! : * : Link4 : )a bit closer to the second line.

Personal i like a small box around the actual day in the calendar.

At 800x600 it fits the screen (i need this for my mother

).
Is it possible to use more width if a visitor comes with 1280x1024? I would love it, if the left column resizes when a visitor uses more then 800x600.

I think i will use this for my private blog.

Lordcoffee, you NEED to keep going with this template, don't stop. That is awesome, a supreme effort and I reckon it would become one of the most popular templates - well done.

May I suggest stripping the table based design and going to css only? Let me know if you need any help.

@harald, how many blogs do you have? Or do you just create a new blog for each new template

Oh wow... THANKS A MILLION!!!

I planed to have a color chooser in the thme config for version 1.1.
So you can choose maybe 4 or 5 color Variations.

@carl: I'll need a lot of help!!! My programming style is like copy, paste and look what happens

If you have enough time i'd like to send you the files and we will do this together?

lordcoffee, no problem, send them over. I can't promise to do anything for a few days because I'm wrapped up with other projects, but I'll happily do this to give s9y users another template. No need to share the credit, my contribution will be very small.

Thanks Carl!

I'll first try to fix all by myself and if I stuck on some bugs I will call you... or maybe the A-Team

Fantastic! - well done lordcoffee it's a great looking theme which I'm sure will be well used.

Couple of slight mac issues
There's a slight colour issue in safari. The sidebar and header colours are slightly different screenshot here and if I resize the browser window in Firefox 1.5.0.6 the sidebar shifts screenshot here

cheers
