Site Redesign
Thanks to dystopia, LiveJournal now has a new site design.

If you hate any part of it, blame it on me .... I had to change lots of stuff to make a good usable template file from it.

Any constructive criticism?

Please note that this isn't a site redesign as much as it is a facelift. That is, we didn't really reorganize anything or make it easier to use ... we just changed how it looks. colin will be making the site more usable shortly.

You're a newbie .... you haven't had to see the site look like ass for so long. :-)

Check out the old looks:

http://www.livejournal.com/?setscheme=woais
http://www.livejournal.com/?setscheme=bluewhite
http://www.livejournal.com/?setscheme=opalcat
http://www.livejournal.com/?setscheme=lynx

The lynx one is special... it detects if you're using lynx and then uses that.

To set it back to the default, unset the cookie:

I personally hate blue but the other colours balance it very well. I'm glad everything is smaller as well, no more scrolling down all the time.
thanks, good job.

i am most impressed with the change to a sans-serif script. the smaller font size seems to fit in a lot better with things, too.

i really like the design and the font, but is there any way to make it not a fixed size? Some people have their resolution set different (ie: me) and so everything is much smaller. because of this i have my IE font set to be large, but it doesnt work on this font so i must sit with my nose at the screen to read...

Below are all users that live in Perth, United States.

Region defaults to the US on the "search livejournal" up the top is this going to change despite the majority of users being from there? I wanna be lazy damnit!!! :P~

As it is, the code to do that's pretty complicated. Maybe I can do this ---- if you're logged in, assume the country you're from. If you're not logged in, then assume US...

Would that satisfy you? :-)

I had modified my style to coincide with the previous LJ vibe. This has now altered my sense of conformity. Im now gonna drill a nail in my head.

Yet, it looks ok for those colorful folks.

Hey, could you give us an option to change styles on our message boards & user profiles... so folks like myself can have the same vibe throughout our own journals. I dont know if it is possible, but damn... worth a glitter of hope in asking.

I knew there'd be somebody like you that did that. :-)

Letting users set a default scheme for all visitors from their page would be a ton of work.

Instead, I'm working on making it that users to your website never leave your journal area to see comments, userinfo, etc... so every part will be customizable.

What a shock when I logged on this morning! I thought for a second that I had somehow gone to the wrong page. *grin* It looks nice -- I like it! (I'll admit that I'll miss my handy spiral notebook, but this looks pretty good!) I especially like the login right on the homepage feature. The different set-up on the sidebar menus is nice, too.
