002: Goldfish

[cirque]

A very similar layout to my last one, same fonts (aaah! can't you tell I love that font?) but with a different colour scheme. I normally don't use such contrasting colours, but I really think it works.
Features; tinyicons, custom font, rounded userpics.

CSS: GOLDFISH
Live preview: I'm using it here @ dustier
EDIT! CSS link updated to fix problems with Chrome: 16/11/12.

Instructions:
Go to 'Customize' & apply any of the 'Crisped' base themes.
Make sure it's set to 2 Column (Sidebar on the left).
Go to 'Customize your theme', then 'Custom CSS'.
Where it says 'Use layout's stylesheet(s)', click no.
Copy & Paste the CSS into the big white box.
Hit save, and voila!
Please credit cirque @ dustier :)
Let me know if you have any questions/need help.
Note! If you would like to change any of the colours, I used this colour palette, so you'll find all the hex codes on there :)

Wow, Tabula Rasa is a lot more complicated than I first thought - thanks for explaining.

Wow, really? I've never submitted anything there before. Do I just make a post in dreamscapes and go from there? And yes, I'll get rid of the icons and cursors, I can see how they might cause a copyright issue.

Well, in some ways, it's great for building layouts on - it provides a lot of the basic styling, like linking colors in the Customize wizard to the right parts of stuff, but it's sort of just a framework so you can add styles and more colors and stuff on top.

The full submission guidelines are here. This would be a 'conversion', because it only exists in CSS form. My two bits of advice, as someone who does a lot of the conversion submissions - give both the base layout and the color theme names, because I am TERRIBLE at coming up with them, and if you're feeling up to it, a second or third color scheme. It always makes me sad to see layouts go live with only one color XD

Oh, ok, cool, I'll work on a few more colour schemes and then put a post up - thanks for this! :D

A question - would I be able to keep the rounded userpics, or should I change them back to square for the submission?

[momijizukamori]

Hmmm. I think the rounded userpics should be fine - we only have about a million styles that don't have rounded ones, if someone doesn't like them *g*

And no problem - I'm a terrible enabler about styles, particularly because I see a lot of people complaining that DW doesn't have any good/pretty layouts. And I'm a good coder, but a sort of so-so designer.

I've got four colour schemes in total now, all (hopefully) varied, to give people choice. Going to make my post to dreamscapes now! :D

Yay \o/
