[edit] Discussion of the code

/* Needed for Safari to keep hover color correct */
#NavMenu li:hover > a {
    background: #edeecb;
    color: #d12604;
}

is giving me trouble in FF. If I use !important it overrides the code for the submenu on hover. If I don't, the original blue color remains just for the main menu link when I'm selecting something in the sub menu. Not very good solution: having matching colors for hover in the main menu and the submenu.

I started working on this the day after V-day--a lot of our main color stuff is similar, and we can combine it&the notes, and then add all the ricin' stuff after the main stuff.

I noted that nagging problem with the whole colors-not-matching on hover menu titles, but hadn't narrowed it down to a specific problem yet, so good work! If it really is that declaration, we can have it in place ONLY for Safari users, since the FX users don't need it. I've noticed that it gets neglected a lot when they do new style themes--the hover text is still blue.

Wow. Kick ass job, Fey. Pretty much everything I have in my style is there I think. Hmmm. Let's see. I have customized the height of the top area. It is worth saying something about this? (Originally, it was to accomodate my font sizebut I think they resolved this). I also have custom colors for MyLJ and Customize. Oh! And I've customized the footer because it looked stupid in my screen resolution. Plus there was this incredible amount of white space. Do you have that too?

Two things though:

"If it really is that declaration, we can have it in place ONLY for Safari users, since the FX users don't need it." Actually, they do. :/

And about /* REPLACE TOP RIGHT NAVIGATION LOGO */. It only works if you don't wanna have a background-image right? Or if you integrate it to your backg img. Think we should mention this.

That's a good catch--I didn't really even think about that. I've added a note on that section that should hopefully make that clear.

Oh yeah! And the other stuff--I think customizing the height of the top area might go in its own little section. I also think custom colors for certain nav bar things would be very cute, as well! And customizing other parts of LJ like the footer could also be very useful sections, but they might need to go into their own guides, because they'd also be valid with XColibur, I think. Lots of good ideas!

Oooooh, I just looked at your really well done layout and it looks like you've shifted over the menu bar items. I think that would be a great section as well!

1. Yay for customization stuffies.
2. "Killing Things Dead With Fire" had me actually LOL.

@kunzite1: Yay for male cheerleading! :P Is there actually a word for that? -- uw 10:09, 21 February 2007 (PST)

@Fey: This does nothing for me. Does it work for you?

#NavMenu {
    color: #fff;  /* Nav Bar Link Color */
}

.NavMenuItem {
    color: #fff;   /* Nav Bar Link Color */
}

.NavMenuSubNav a, .NavMenuSubNav a:visited {
    color: #9EC8FF;
    font-weight: normal !important;
    text-decoration: underline;
}
