Out of the Bloo

"A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere--'Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,' as Herbert says, 'fine nets and stratagems.' God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous."

New Theme: Paper Towel

Posted by Bill @ 11:37 pm CDT
Filed under: Nerdvana!

I just created a new theme called "Paper Towel". It's now the default.

This was the first ever Bloo theme (that I know of) created on the fly from within Bloo. The ability to create themes on the fly is one of the major enhancements in the latest version of Bloo (alpha build 7).

It's still confusing to do, though, and the docs are non-existent. So I think I've scared off the other alpha testers from trying their hand at theme-creation.

Plus I found a few bugs that have to be gotten around for now. And fixed soon. *sigh*

But, all that being said, I kind of dig this latest theme. Hope it's ok on your eyes as well.

Sorry, Bill. It hurts my eyes to read all the text onscreen against that background. Perhaps if it's only up to the point where the post content starts?

Just saying.

Thanks DLE

Question (if you happen to come back this way, that is :-): what browser are you using?

I have checked it against firefox, IE, and Camino. Just wondering - perhaps it looks sharp to me but to others the background is garbling the letters or something.

I could certainly make the background for post content not have the background.

Anyone else have a take on this?

I changed the content background to plain white. Hopefully this is better.

Better!

I like it - it's almost not there on my screen, but offers just a bit of texture.

Nice! And I love the use of Georgia font, which I do too, makes a comfortable read - I don't know, it just appeals to me aesthetically :)

Blessings!
