Template: Leaving for Paris II (6 Additional Color Schemes)



See the first six color schemes here. I edited these templates so that the link text on the sidebar wasn't all uppercase, as that seemed to be the most popular change people were making. Or, I thought I had, but apparently I forgot it. There's code to change this at the bottom of the post. Please credit [community profile] circa77 if you use so that others can easily find the templates. Comments are much appreciated. ♥

PLEASE NOTE: In order for these templates to work correctly out of the box, you need to make sure that under Customize Journal Style > Modules, the Header module is checked (Second section from the top) and "header" is selected from the drop-down menu. You're welcome to adjust the CSS code if you prefer to change this option, but I won't be providing alternate code for it.

I'm enjoying the Venetian you posted the other day, but I think I am going to switch to Peripheral Vision.

I've got to add these two entries to memories now, so I know to come back to them later when I feel like a color change. Thank you so much!

Clean, uncluttered, color schemes are pleasing to the eye as well as easy on the eyes. Couldn't really ask for more in a layout :)

Thanks for making these.

Oh I was wondering, do you know of a way to get the user name also posted under the icons? Maybe some extra bit of code that could be tacked on? LJ has trained my eyes, lol; and I've heard rumbles about this from other people using the standard DW layouts.

Or just say "Enough with the special orders, already!"

Thanks.

AH! There's more! Sticking with the version I've got now, but they're all gorgeous.

rebel waltz is lovely and i have absconded with it. interestingly, the layout breaks when one doesn't use the "profile" section in the sidebar:

broken layout

html fail *headdesk*

ETA (again): even more interesting (to me, anyway) i re-added the "profile" module and it didn't fix the problem. so i reset the modules to the defaults and the sidebar is still a tiny bit mis-aligned vertically. sorry to spam your comments, but i just thought it was odd and wondered if anyone else has had this problem.

ETA2, son of ETA: last one, i promise. it's just that i figured it out, the layout is dependent upon the body font size being 10pt. any other size distorts the vertical spacing.

These are awesome! I really like 'Corner Cafe'... could you tell me how to change a few of the colors? I really like the color of the sidebar, and was hoping for something like that across the top (where the brownish green colors are).

These are beautiful, thanks. I'm using Leia but may change to Corner Cafe in the future, I can't make my mind up lol.

Is there anyway I could add a header image to this without it mucking up something else?

Thanks for the quick response :)

When I do that, it repeats the image as the background of the whole page, rather than just once as a header. Is there a bit of code missing to stop the image from repeating itself?

Snagging "Rebel Waltz," with credit! These are fantastic!
