I would not say it was really either a ‘minor’ thing — those happen pretty much every week — but it’s not really mind-blowing either. I spent a couple of evenings changing my theme. While the current layout used as a starting point my old theme, DarnSlick, I feel the number of tweaks and changes, complete with icon redesign where applicable, warrants it that I call it my own. PUREtext is it’s name, aimed at simplicity and clarity to permit focus on content rather than anything else.
Let me know what you don’t like. I keep tweaking things anyway, but I’m more than curious to see what breaks in your browser and what breaks your focus when reading. I have tested in Safari proper, WebKit nightly, Firefox 3ß5 and Opera 9.50. One of the reasons I started changing things was to try and get a fluid theme, so it should scale on most resolutions (granted, it will generally look weird below 1024 x 768, but not broken from what I can tell). More importantly, however, I wanted to do something that will make content self-obvious.
Love the look of the site! Very clean and tidy. The ‘Times New Roman’ on the right-hand side threw me off at first, but now I kind of like the contrast.
inaequitas on April 27th, 2008 at 12:39There shouldn’t be absolutely any Times New Roman anywhere on my site, I’m not particularly fond of that font. Weird, I have used “webfonts” almost exclusively, so things like these wouldn’t happen.
I’ll take a look at the rendering you get when we meet.

inaequitas on May 3rd, 2008 at 15:02Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. There are still a few things to work on, here and there, but I’m pleased the theme seems to work for what I meant it – simplicity.
