Heya guys! Been a while since a layout post but have a few things in the works :) Though I did get distracted yesterday by another bit of shiny.

I love your version, it's so minimal and clean!

I'll personally love a simple gray/white/black monochrome scheme, and maybe a pink or orange one :3

The comments are gorgeous!

I wonder if getting this to work in Safari 4.0 would be possible.... HMMMMM! I'll try it once I upgrade to Leopard.

That looks fantastic! I didn't even know this was something that could be done.

Will they work on Google Chrome?

I would use red/black!

[/unlurk] I've been using Stylish for a while, but this is a wonderful idea I had not considered or seen around before. This is seriously exciting!! Personally, I love your navigation skin, especially that it's slimmer and replaces the ginormous LJ logo in favour of a less intrusive one. And the lack of LJ!blue is delicious! The new grouping of the Account, Help and Logout links is makes a lot more sense to me as well. Masterful work there.

The comments are is not working so well for me at the moment, but I can see a huge amount of potential for improvements here. I'm excited, once again, about getting rid of the LJ!blue and using colours like pastels or greys so that icons and replies receive a higher visual hierarchy. The classic blue slab has always been a pet peeve of mine.
