My blog’s theme customizations
I wanted to change my dark theme, so a week ago, I started with the minimalistic theme and edited it in my spare time:
- I wanted it wider, so I set body width to 700px from 500px
- removed cufon to google web fonts (now using Josefin Sans)
- I often use tags to better give a context to my posts, so I added the tags visualization
- changed color for posts metadata and borders from #BCA474 to #85B5A5
- I removed some borders in header
- aligned all images and videos to the center of the page (they are still 500px wide)
- moved the search form below site description
- titles to the left
- added support to linkedin profile’s url
Next steps? To let users set some variables to customize it in a simple and immediate way (if you use tumblr you know what I mean) and then submit it to tumblr
- clean up css
- set #85B5A5 as a customizable field text
- set also the google font name as a textbox in the admin panel, to change font in seconds
- support other social networks in the menu
Note to myself: my Gnome 2.30 setup
Ok, so gnome 3 is out, I know. But my debian (testing) is still using gnome 2.30.
Before leaving Italy, heading to SF to work on my startup mashape, I decided to start from scratch with a brand new debian installation.
Here the recipe:
- gnome
- docky (with Elegant theme)
- orta theme + Faenza Icons
- compiz (hiding title bar)
I finished this setup one month ago, so I’ll be missing something for sure.. but this is a starting point for my next installation! :)
