Out with the old

If you haven't had a chance to, check out the new layout options. Expressive lends itself to some lovely displays. I'm fond of the one I have up now and the City - Toyko look. I wish there were more with dark backgrounds, though.

have you signed up with Vox? They are the same layouts

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

I have a Vox account. I don't think it'll see much play because I'm not really very multimedia when it comes to my blogging. It's quite nice over there, though, isn't it?

[lunajewels.livejournal.com]

there definitely seems to be a lot going on. I set up 2 accounts, but I'll probably just use it for marketing. I suppose it's the wave of the future..

I like that one! I'm sporting zen midnight myself.

*grin* I had that one up briefly, but I like the dark backgrounds too much. Tokyo is nice because the entire page is in an eye-soothing black.

I like it! I think maybe its time to change my layout a bit

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Your layout is nifty! I like the generator look; it was the first way I had my journal laid out. It lends itself nicely to backgrounds. Did you ever think about centering the image and then making the boxes slightly transparent?

I swear, I think my inner child wants to be an annoying design major.

[toshirodragon.livejournal.com]

I tried centering it and didnt like it there.. but I think I may try making the boxes transparent..

I'm one of those I have to walk away from the project for a bit so gain perspective again

THANKS!

No problemo, O Honored Mod o'Mine.*grin*

[toshirodragon.livejournal.com]

OOO I like the Honored bit! *hubby says dont feed the ego!* XD

Take a look now... I kinda like it this way!

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Bwah! Your icon is filthily delicious!

Hmm. Is there a way to keep some color in the text boxes while keeping them transparent? Because of the light color of the text and the correspondingly light color of your background pic it makes the text hard to see when you view the page.

[toshirodragon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've tried all the colors so I'll keep tinkering and pushing links! XD

There doesnt seem to be a way to make them partially transparent ( at lest not at my skill level) BUT I have made it so the boxes scroll instead of the picture so it's easy to roll the print up a tad to better be able to read it.

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

That works out really well. Now the text stands out easily. All in a night's work, huh?

[toshirodragon.livejournal.com]

hahaha All in 500 different tweaks and a dozen or two Ooh HELL NOs!hehehe

I, of course, changed to the NY Cityscape. ;)

I'll play with the customization later when I am not so tired!

*grin* If you'd chosen anything else I would have been shocked.
