Nice job - well chosen colour scheme :-)

Couple of observations:
The calendar sidebar title is in uppercase
The month (Dezember 07) is the only black text in the template.

other than that looks great!

I agree. The fonts in the footer could be a tad bigger, though.

I do not think the search input is all that obvious, but perhaps that is just because I am used to seeing it in a box.

Your horizontal "below banner" category list is a bit messed up:

Code: Select all

    <ul id="serendipity_categories_list" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px">
    <div class="category_submit"><input type="submit" name="serendipity[isMultiCat]" value="Los!" /><span class="category_link_all"><a href="http://katalog-it.de/index.php?frontpage?frontpage" title="Alle Kategorien">   Alle Kategorien</a></span>
</div>
          <li style="display: block;">
The div and input should not be within the UL the way you have them.

Always remember to validate your html and css to spot these kind of errors.... advice I often forget myself!! :lol:

Could this be part of the official Bulletproof? Would be nice to have it all in one download or in the next s9y release. Looks nice.

The only "colorsets" bp will ever be distributed with are those created by YL, d_cee, or myself.... and I am not sure if we will ever create new colorsets beyond the existing blue, green and purple. Well, that is not entirely true - there is a good possibility that an additional "colorset" will be included with s9y v1.3.

There are a lot of reasons for not including colorsets created by others, but here are probably the top issues:

1) distribution size - bp is included with s9y, and keeping the size of the s9y distribution to minimal is important.
2) a true "colorset" can only (and must) contain a css file and corresponding icons/graphics. Custom modifications to any tpls, config.inc.php, or language files could not be included.
3) fairness to the designer - bp contains credit links to the bp team, and our documentation site. It would not be fair to remove the ability of a designer like RL to replace the "template by" link with his own information.
4) bp was really intended to be a "framework" to build other templates, not really serve as a repository for every resulting colorset.

Now, taking all this into consideration, if someone truly creates just what we call a "colorset" for bp, the css file can be copied to your bulletproof folder, and the icon/images to the /bulletproof/img/ folder. The colorset will then be shown in the "manage styles" configuration page. To date, the only true "colorset" that has been created was "redglossy" http://s9y-bulletproof.com/index.php?se ... &thiscat=4 by YellowLed. It is possible some of RL's templates would fall into the definition of a "colorset", using unmodified versions of BP's tpls, but only he knows for sure. Regardless, they still would not be included with the BP distribution for the reasons I have already given, with particular emphasis on item 3.
