Old World theme
« on: July 22, 2023, 08:12:58 pm »
...I've commenced work on an Old World theme.  I figure a good-looking theme is never a waste of time.

Thought I'd share some drafts of the logo, not least the one with The Hookah Smoking Man of 420AD...

The more you frame it, the more it is eligible for hanging above your bed.  ;fool

I've got the theme in more-or-less workable condition, as you see.

You probably have a better view than I do, what with the way hard refresh works these days; I may get an up-to-date look if I can wait until after supper to try refreshing, and see how close I am to being finished...

Almost too bad the part of the page where the posts are isn't semi-transparent. One could see more of the OldWorld background pic then.

The white framing your post and the index and everything?  That ought to be gone by now - I deleted the file yesterday, when the transparent version hadn't loaded yet.

-Eventually, it'll straighten out, and be as you say.

Themes are never really done -I keep having ideas for tweaking them better- but this is close.

And when the hourglass has run out, the hourglass of temporality, when the noise of secular life has grown silent and its restless or ineffectual activism has come to an end, when everything around you is still, as it is in eternity, then eternity asks you and every individual in these millions and millions about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not.
~Soren Kierkegaard 'The Sickness Unto Death', Datalinks
