New template: YL 1.5 (release)

Post by **yellowled** » Wed Dec 06, 2006 3:21 pm

So after applying some (hopefully) finishing touches, this one is ready to get its feet wet: I uploaded the release version of my new template 'YL 1.5' to my template site (also reconstructed and available in English). And just for the record, if someone thinks this is worth to be on spartacus, go ahead

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, see http://www.s9y.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7978 or the template's README (available in English only). Let me add that all screenshots are still available, however I have removed the temporary zipfiles.

Thanks, and I keep being amazed how many non-Germans in this forum speak or understand a little German (and your German is way better than my Dutch, I have to admit

).

Thanx for the README - which is like a little manual.

The Template seems to work OK.
Personally I don't like the font size, I would like them to be a little smaller.

Well, there's always the possibility to reduce the overall font-size by reducing the font-size for body - however, this may cause problems in IE. So the best solution (if you really want to reduce the font-size in general) is to set a font-size for #mainpane, i.e. add something like this:

Code: Select all

#mainpane { font-size: 85%; }

not in style.css, but in the alternate stylesheet for the colorset you're using. If there are font-sizes which are already tweaked in the particular colorset's stylesheet (like i.e. in Robert's colorset, rl.css), this may bring unwanted side effects. Try at your own risk!

And of course, you'll have to fiddle around with it a little bit to find a suitable value.

Anyway, the font-size really depends on the users font-size settings in the browser since the template uses only relative values (% and em) for the font-sizes. And now I'm fed up typing 'font-size(s)'

By the way, I uploaded an updated zipfile (just some minor fixes), so people using this might want to get the newest version from my template site.
