Too Duo-centric? 私?

osarabaI've been fooling around with that new layout that Sharon has, Flexible Squares, created by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cyrnelle. It's really beautiful, and it's really sweet how she keeps saying that she doesn't know why so many people really like it. ^^;
Anyway, I've been fiddling with the colors when I can grab a spare minute or two (or thirty) at work and home, so I haven't wanted to actually apply it to my journal 'cause if it's not the way I want it to be, I don't want to look at it. Haha. So I'm using an LJ account I created for the purpose of putting random writings -- if/when I have some time to get back into writing, which I really do want to do --![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sarabakari. Which means balance, btw, and not that I am baka or anything like that.
The color theme is yes, the same, overall, as the one I have now. But I couldn't help myself; it matches my default icon ("shinigami" Duo), and I'd go crazy if it were in lighter colors. And for some reason I can't stand blue -- even though it's my favorite color -- in my own LJ layout (although I've always liked how you've used it in yours, Sharon). But once I'm done with this layout, I think I'm going to do something a little more interesting, maybe with a background image or something like that, for my writing LJ.
Anyway, please tell me how you like it. There is at least one other thing I want to adjust before it's finished -- I really want to be able to make the date text size large with a smaller text size for the subject (like how Cyrnelle has it), and I haven't quite attempted to figure it out yet. And Sharon, I see that you were able to fix your links to the way you wanted them... how'd you do it? ^^; (If you don't mind my asking...)

Date: 2005-06-02 09:14 pm (UTC)I like your colors. I wish I had better eyes, and could use darker colors, but I have to stick to the light ones. I love the purple and black together. That looks really good.
The blue in mine is almost a slate gray. I think that's why I like it.
You can find the instructions for adding more link boxes here. If you have trouble adding more, let me know and I can email you the actual code I'm using. It wasn't too hard to do. I think I'm getting the hang of modifying the code.
I think you have to go into Edit customizations and choose Fonts to change the size and font for the time/date stamp. The only thing to be careful of there is that it will change your formatting back. I always keep the S2 Compiler Output page open when I'm changing things, so that I can go back and restore my formatting if I mess up.
Good luck!

Date: 2005-06-03 02:37 am (UTC)Thanks for the link and the instructions. I'm going to try them out when I get a bit of free time. (::sigh:: This is why I'm testing it out on a separate LJ first, LOL.) And I'll be back to ask you if I get stuck. ^^ I usually pick up on codes pretty well/quickly, but I've been overly tired this week, so I don't know how well my brain is working. @_@;
