Hi,

My personal site is http://filbar.org and I finally got around to creating non-slapped-together theme. Please comment on it and tell me what you like and what you would change.

Cheers,

Vince

I actually don't have much to say in terms of things I would change -- the look/feel is very clean throughout -- the tabs in the top right are clean, and look pretty sharp. I looked at it in firefox on a PC.

About the only suggestion I have is to add a vertical rule -- just a thin, lightly colored line -- between the body content and the RH column.

Very nice theme. Do you have any plans on adding it to the theme library here?

Cheers,

bonobo

Looks really good, I like very clean and minimalistic designs myself. One problem, and wouldn't you know it it's IE, the right column gets pushed down below the main content.

On general design I agree with previous poster about adding a line.
The text in the gallery's drop-down box is ridiculously small in my opinion and on the projects page I would give a little more space between the header/submenu etc and perhaps use the same style on the tabs as in the menu for consistency and because they look better ;).

Thanks for your compliments!

Can you tell me what version of IE you are using? I will try to fix it up so ie 6 works but I don't feel like hacking the css to death the get both ie 5 and ie 6 to work.

I will definitely try to do something with the tabs but I don't think I can duplicate the top tabs because of their complexity. Maybe something like the drupal.org tabs but with my colours. I will definitely consider posting it to the theme library, but I would have to make sure it is complete first ;-)

I added the line and fixed up the lack of space between header and tabs.

I agree with you that hacking the css to accomodate IE5 is out of the question.

Anyhow, pretty sure you have a double-float-margin-bug so check this page out http://positioniseverything.net/explorer/doubled-margin.html and let me know if you need someone to see if it behaves in IE6 again.

cheers
