seleneheart,

thanks muchly. I notice that the userpic box for journal entries is cramped and long user names get cut off (can't be read clearly). Can the theme be tweaked in order to make the columns wider? I'm primarily thinking of the width of the white journal entry boxes. Forgive me if I'm coming across garbled, but my knowledge of coding is very limited.

If I'm understanding correctly, you want to make the entries part wider?

This is the code to change:

.layout-two-column-left #container {
	width: 800px;
	}

Make the width 900px instead, and then also change this:

.layout-two-column-left #beta {
width: 600px;
float: right;
}

Make the width of the beta container 700px. The side bar is 200px, so that plus the content needs to add up to your total content width.

Also, the header won't line up perfectly at the top anymore because it's only 800px wide. You can change that also or leave it. It shouldn't be that noticeable because of the background tiles.

applied the changes, and it looks nifty (not as squished). How do I change the color of the entries under "comments"? I want to lighten the color from either the dark purple? or the deep brown? against the "greengrunge" bg in order to see it better. Thanks again!

I didn't style that part, but to change the font color of the comments themselves, you need to take .comment-content from it's current location, which is here:

.trackbacks-info,
.trackback-content,
.comment-content,
.comments-open-content,
.comments-open-footer,
.comments-closed,
.archive-content

And then you need to put in the following codes to style it yourself:

.comment-content { 
	color: #ffffff;
	margin: 10px;
}

The hex code I put it is for white, so you can go from there.

sorry to keep pestering you, but I'd like to change the default (not hover) colors of the individual items under the *links* and *tags* lists. Also, is there a way to increase or alter the right hand userpic window so each person's LJ handle (under the pic) doesn't get cut off on the right and can't be seen? Thanks again!
