Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I'm thinking of something along these lines:

Comment #5
jix_ commentedI like it! Although I do think we should stay with the '•' as separator (instead of the '—' used here), just for consistency's sake.
Comment #6
jix_ commentedHow about this:

I personally don't see much value in giving the comments of the article's author a separate color. Nested comments (replies) however ...
Comment #7
td540 commented-- Is it possible to make comments in a different color optional in theme-settings ?
Some people will appreciate this. Here's a good example where this is put to good use:
http://veerle.duoh.com/blog/comments/something_is_up/
-- Why'd you put the commenter name above the comment message, in my opinion, it looks better below... It puts more focus on the message.
-- As for the comment title, can we turn this off by default? I don't think comments should have titles on a diary blog, what do you think?
Comment #8
jix_ commentedSounds good to me!
The username below a comment works fine for shorter comments I guess, but for longer comments it just irritates me that I have to scroll down to see who wrote the comment and then scroll back to actually read the comment.
Usernames above is not that uncommon, and I think for a very good reason. (See above.) I don't think it looks bad either.
This is a setting per content type, so I don't think we can. Unless we provide an installation profile along with the theme. As much as I hate the comment titles myself too, we'll just have to respect Drupal's default settings here.
Apart from the comment titles beeing totally meaningless to me, they don't actually look bad. We should design for both cases, with and without comment titles.
Comment #9
jix_ commentedOk, in the end I think I'll agree that the username should be below the comment ;)
My reason for putting it above probably applies more to forum messages or something, where comments are actually longer most of the time.
How about this:

Optimized for comments without titles, but we can simply display the title inside the bubble if a user wants titles anyway.
