Sheesh. All you old people messin’ it up for the youngsters. *rolls eyes*
Here’s a nice shiny new theme that’s LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT! So light I can barely read it! But how do YOU feel about it?
The only thing I’m not sure I like is the fact that the front page only shows the first 200 words of the entry and then has the “continue reading” thing. But other than that, I supposed it’s not bad.
Ack! You changed it while I was playing!
Try this change to your css style sheet. Change the .entry line to
.entry {position:relative; color:#000; padding:4px 15px 10px 10px; clear:both; background: url(images/hr-line.jpg) left bottom repeat-x #bdb19b; opacity:.85; overflow:hidden;}
I took the background color from the search bar. Play around with the opacity level; 0 is transparent and 1.0 is no opacity at all. .85 seemed like a good compromise to me. The downside to the opacity is that it’s also applied to any images within the post. I’m sure there’s a way around that, but I don’t know what it is.
This is a crude solution, but it works until (I hope) they add other kinds of jeans to the theme. Faded or acid washed would solve the problem altogether. Cross your fingers!
Matt, THANKS – that may be what I need!!! I’ll use my theme test viewer to take a look at that. MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
Hmmm…I’m changing the opacity to test it and it isn’t changing – it has stayed the same (perfect) grey color… It’s DEFINITELY an improvement though!
It’s fine in Firefox. I forgot that Internet Explorer isn’t standards compliant. They have their own css rules.
Add this to the .entry line, changing the 50 to whatever number you used before:
filter: alpha(opacity = 50);
I THINK that’ll do it.
That worked! It’s now opaque in IE. WOO HOOO!!!! Matt, YOU ROCK!!!
Yes. Yes I do.
(Glad to help out.)
