I'm really sorry this is so super late, but I got in over my head with this one. I was determined to make all the buttons myself (ultimately failed) and had some IE troubles that were difficult to solve.
View it live at
irilaytest - This layout was tested in Firefox, Safari and IE7. It does NOT work properly in IE6 since it relies heavily on the use of PNGs, which IE6 doesn't support. (Basically, it looks ugly)
- Also, I tested it on a paid and a basic account - I have no idea if it works on plus/sponsored accounts or whatever they're called nowadays.
1.) Go to
http://www.livejournal.com/customize 2.) Type "Deep Ocean" into the search box
3.) You should get "Deep Ocean", a theme of the "Minimalism" style as result, click apply
4.) Go to
http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml?group=customcss 5.) Set both "Use layout's stylesheets" and "Use layout's theme's stylesheet" to "No"
6.) Copy-Paste the following CSS into the "Custom Stylesheet" box:

7.) Click on "Save Changes", and you're done.
TIPS:
- If you'd like to have links or other important stuff somewhere farther up than the sidebar at the bottom, you can add a sticky post here:
http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml?group=text - If you don't like the page summary being displayed, you can un-display it here (
http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml?group=sidebars) by choosing "no".
- If you want to upload the images to your own server or just save them all in case some stop working in the future,
download the entire layout as a zip.
