76 new themes! - Expressive

[chasethestars]

Who *doesn't* want their LJ to look good? The designs on Vox (Six Apart's other personal blogging service) are now also available on LiveJournal for users with Paid (&Permanent), Plus, or Early Adopter accounts. You can select Expressive as your layout on the Customize page, and choose from the variety of designs from the themes drop-down menu.

Will there be an option to remove some of the sidebar items if we don't want them?

[draconid]

Ditto. I love the Expressive style, but I don't want to have all the sidebar options (sidebar ordering would also be lovely, or at least the ability to pick which sidebar an item goes in).

[catculus]

This bothers me as well. I think I'll go back to what I had before.

[kayepants]

I agree too.

if you use the current incarnation of this layout for a journal, you can't properly reply to comments via the ReplyPage.

expressive, like vox, is practically unusable by safari 1.0.3 users.

[kunzite1]

did you do it from this exact URL? if so, what is displayed? my comment or the entry?

also, support for safari 1.0.3 is not very awesome on vox as well as expressive. 1.0.3 is the latest version available to OSX 10.2 users. rhose of us with crappy 300mhz processors can't upgrade without purchasing a new machine.

Lovely layout by the way! Both visually and markup-wise! Been waiting a long time for Livejournal to have templates like this...

Speaking of Safari, there is an extra set of scrollbars appearing inside the browser window in Safari 1.3.2. As a result, one has to scroll to the bottom of the page in order to get to the scrollbar to scroll sideways. I think it's the overflow declaration on the html in the stylesheet that's causing this?

Speaking of scrolling, will there be an option to size this layout down for 800x600 resolution? Or will people need to override the default CSS?

Dangit, those themes are too cute! I might have to pimp one for a bit.

[rosiedoes]

Yeah, 'too' being the operative word.

But welcome aboard, chasethestars.

[tasha]

What?

[rosiedoes]

'Too' as in 'too cute'.

Interesting times. I've liked many of the layouts that Vox offered, but bemoaned the rigidness of them. I look forward to tinkering with these.

You know, when we originally thought to bring the Vox styles over to LJ, I think one of the first thoughts we had was, "I totally cannot wait to see how people are going to customize these" *g*

[ursamajor]

Hear. Hear. :D

I'm on tenterhooks hoping that Ocean will come over soon because I want a sea otter version of it. Heck, I certainly know how to use Levels in my photo editing program, maybe I don't have to wait ;)

[trobadora]

The comments aren't set apart from each other very well, i.e. not at all. Same for the header. Makes it look very unstructured, and pretty hard to read. Is that customisable? If not, thank God for ?style=mine.

[obliviousally]

I agree. I definately need some more space in there. :O

[beckyzoole]

I'm having the same problem, using IE 6.0, looking a the Robots style here in lj_design. Comments are practically overlapping each other, making it impossible to tell at a glance if a graphic is the inserted image of the first comment, or the icon of the next comment.

[vampibella]

Is this going to be fixed at all? :(
