Reload page in style: site light

Okay, I give up. A few days ago, I declared that The Boxer was the prettiest of the LJ page styles. I still think that's true, but it turns out to be painfully buggy. As

cellio pointed out, it has a hardcoded width, and you can't use a percentage of the window width. You can't user the "nc=" link feature successfully because of the way the stylesheet is constructed. It doesn't use pics quite right -- when I view someone's entry in comment mode, their main userpic shows up instead of the entry userpic. And today, for reasons I'm not quite sure of (possibly one of the background parameters I set?), it is *sucking* Mozilla's CPU. Scrolling the page is very slow, and chews the CPU like nobody's business; strangely, this problem seems to be worse the more tabs I have open. (Which makes little sense, but concerns me.)

So be it. I'm going to switch to Tabular Indent: slightly more boring, but it appears to work better. At least, until I get fed up enough to write my own style...

Orange and teal? Dude, what did we ever do to you?

Okay, okay -- I'll admit that the color scheme needs a little work. (However, I'm a little distracted by the fact that this layout is open source, which means that I may actually start really mucking with it...)

Whew! What with "boxer" being orangy-brown, and then this one, I thought maybe you were one of the rare breed that actually likes a lot of orange.

Okay, I've changed the color scheme to something a smidgeon less painful. It's still not perfect: the colors could use some tweaking to fight less, and there are some bugs in the template, which are resulting in dark text on a semi-dark background in some circumstances. But at least this template is open source, so I ought to be able to fix it, in theory...

(I don't care much for orange per se. But I do like rich, dark colors, and there's still a bit of the nerd in me that tends towards browns...)
