New Serenity icon, and a bit about EllJay

[active_apathy]

The new Serenity icon is green, with bits of black and white. It's River's sleepycodeword, with both spellings lifted from Wikipedia's Serenity entry. The translation, on the other hand, comes from Joss's Q&A session.

And now, the bit about EllJay - which gives me the perfect reason to use this icon.

Please, click here and have a look at what they've decided my layout should look like.

[[EDIT: Fixed now, so I'll give you screencaps instead.]]






Well, not quite. This is what my stylesheet looks like at the moment. I'll reproduce it here - but I'm warning you, it's not cut for length.

[[EDIT: It's kinda fixed now. Sadly, no more popup menus. Happily, purple. And the Clock of the Time Dragon. See below for text of broken stylesheet.]]

Ready?

/* Cleaned CSS: */
/* suspect CSS: high bytes */

I'll give you a moment to read it.

...

Done.

So, now I get to try to squish my CSS into an allowable size, which may mean I'll need to drop features from my layout. We'll see.

The good news is this: it may give me reason to get around to writing my very own layout. Still, before that day I plan to get this one working again.

Codes freak me out.

Pretty icon though! Hey, is that an "r"? ;)

That basically just means "We LJ. We no like your stylesheet. StyleSMASH."

So, now my little popup menus are gone.

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

So they just up and decided this after your having this layout for how long now?

Rude, LJ. Rude.

It's a new security feature, apparently. It's not like they've only done it to me.

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Well, we'll let it slide this one time.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

You can see how it looked, now.

But... They were cool.

I know, they're being secure and fixing XSS vulnerabilites (and giving away permanent accounts), but, still.

Ah well, I'd saved to code anyway, the links list on my main blog is, um, huge...

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

If your links list is coded into your stylesheet, then something Very Bad is happening.

The popup behaviour of the menus was CSS driven, but it needs to be done in the stylesheet. So, the menus are still there, exactly the way they've been in IE all this time.

Oh no, not going to be in the stylesheet, I copied your styelsheet as another example of embedded list/menues (I have 3 so far) so when I get around to coding it I can compare three worked examples.

Teaching yourself coding by trial and error is damn silly, but, well, it's not like I have anything better to do.

200+ links in one sidebar is silly, hence the desire to do them as pop ups. With, naturally, a get firefox link at the top and bottom of the list. And probably in the middle as well...
