I'm trying out a new theme for the Stardust web site as the default look. It's called Blue Fire. Please let me know what you think of it if you are using the default theme.

It was a bit startling, but I like the look.

Nice, but . . .

I like this much better than the previous, but I miss the "Recent" blog posts and comments on the front page, also the Who's Online list.

Oops, I found them at the bottom. I'm using IE 6, BTW. The same thing happened with the last look you set up, until you worked things over a bit. They show up just fine on the left side of this page, but are all the way at the bottom on the right on the homepage.

Using Firefox

Checking it with the updated Firefox, (not the new beta test, version 2.0.0.14), it looks fine.

Looks okay in IE 7 running under Windows XP Pro.

Mixed Review from me

I find it a really clean look when I am navigating through the different levels of the site and I specially liked the home page. However, when you get inside a story, I would like it to use much more of the page width, right now it seems cramped (on either of my monitors).

I am using whatever the default is, I have never looked for any setting changes. I use XP and IE7 usually. I thought I was in the wrong place at first. I kind of like the look and the layout. I do have close to two inches of dead grey area on either side of the display area, so it could be expanded a bit to use more of the space, and the font is pretty small and maybe a bit difficult to read. I checked out a couple of the stories with the same results as the blogs. There's about 1/4 inch dead space at the top and bottom of the display area also.
Same results with Firefox (current) but the colors look a bit off and the text is a bit fuzzy looking. I like it the more I see of it.

edit......5/9/08.....I don't know if you did something Bob, or if my puter burped, but the next time I logged in and checked, I found a new module that gave me access to the themes. Interesting.......
