Theme Envy. September 22, 2005

Although I’m currently enjoying modifying the Wrana/Orth 3CR^[1] theme, I’m running across several that I’m becoming at least equally fond of. There’s Neptune ^[2] by Ben de Groot. He’s got the site set up to implement a neat theme-switch; aside from some minor display bugs I note in Firefox, they seem fabulous.

I’m beginning to run into the same kinds of dilemmas I found when originally designing tcc^[3] ; namely, the fact that themes are made, not born. Design has to grow on you, I think. And, even though there’s usualy a net gain in “gee whiz”, the longer I spend under the hood, the less I like the car.

Thankfully, WP makes it easy to change your mind.

Linknotes:

3CR - again with the footnotes. ↩
and related themes; I especially like Tiny. ↩
tcc - the blog that started it all, is is due for a serious upgrade. ↩

Okay, here’s a comment intended to test this feature. Actually, I intend to test this feature to death; we’ll have to make up all kinds of torture tests for this site. I’ll get to them all, eventually.

Perhaps I’ll even have readers, someday.
