It’s good to say thank you

Every now and again I get a email saying thank you for a theme or template that I made.

It’s a really great feeling and makes it all worth it. Thank you :-)

    …on that note, thank you for Chameleon! I’ve changed it quite significantly, although I liked the original design. I especially like the layout.

    One thing I have not managed to do anything about is the highlighting ($highlight) and the hovering which is yellow and stands out quite significantly (in a negative way, with the changes I have done to the rest of the design). Could you please let me know how to change that? I thought changing #ffff00 in the stylesheet would do the trick, but doesn’t seem to make any difference at all. (I’m referring to the vertical menu of pages).

    Thanks again for the theme, keep at it =)

    The colours are in separate style sheets under the options directory. You need to change the css there to alter the colours.

    Thanks a bunch! That did indeed do the trick and I feel like a little bit of a fool for not noticing the CSS subfiles. =P

    No problem. Could you make up smaller email addresses please ;-)

    Lest I forget: I am using chameleon, too. And I love it. A few modifications were done by me, too:
    - I placed the meta entries (login/logout/site-admin/edit) at the very top right
    - I placed a language picker and the RSS icon at the right-hand side of the navigation bar. Only, this change isn’t very clean. It simply assumes the corresponding language picker plugin is installed and activated. So far I don’t see the need for a cleaner implementation.
    - I played around with using css-style menus that show when the corresponding navigation bar element is being pointed at with the mouse, instead of the user having to click it and then the subpages appearing on the next line. But I couldn’t get that to work properly, so I left it the way it is.

    It is a pity that chameleonic didn’t issue the url of his blog in his post above. I would have liked to visit it and check out his use of chameleon.
