I'd love to have all that boring blue stuff replaced by something like this:
And with the occasional dancing llama wandering across the screen randomly: EDIT: P.S. - Don't you think those colors go together nicely? I've given you the challenge, now go away, young man, and make it so! Last edited by vivaldirules; 11-17-2009 at 10:43 AM. |

oh, no, thatʻs only my infamous psock ppenguin
This one, however, tastes more like fungus.... This one tastes more like black licorice in fish oil whereas this one is all sinewy like dried salmon This one just tastes cheesy I could go on.. but I wonʻt. You can thank me later. Oh, and vr, I think thatʻs a lovely idea, but dancing/singing penguins would go *way* better in the random wandering across role. |

All right, I'm still working on a llama-theme for VR (--it may require greasemonkey if you really want the llamas to be random--) but here's the first start of a Penguin theme for GraceKrispy.
It features four different Penguin backgrounds, a penguin logo, white and black alternating panels, and best of all, it automatically turns vivaldirules, GeoffC, pshrynk and Donnageddon's avatars into the Abba penguins. I can tweak it to get the right resolution background if need be. Here it is: Code:
@-moz-document domain('mobileread.com') { /* Sets background image -- it would be better to download this and link locally using file:// .. , attaching it makes it not scroll, delete if you'd rather it scrolled */ body { background: url('http://coolwallpapers.org/wallpapers/0/55/March_of_the_Penguins-016.jpg') !important; background-attachment: fixed !important; /* Set background and border of table holding main content */ } .tborder { background: transparent !important; border: none !important; } /* The menu at the very top of the page */ .top_menu_left a { color: White !important; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 120% !important; text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px black, -3px -3px 3px yellow; } .top_menu_left a:hover { color: Cyan !important; } /* The MR logo replacement -- please download and use locally */ #logo_image { height: 0 !important; width: 0 !important; /* these numbers match the new image's dimensions */ padding-left: 630px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 100px !important; background: url('http://people.umass.edu/phil335/logo-grace.png') no-repeat !important; } /* The menu right under the logo */ .vbmenu_control { opacity: .7; font-family: Georgia !important; font-size: 100% !important; text-shadow: 1px 1px black, -1px -1px black; } /* Such a menu item with cursor over it */ .vbmenu_control:hover { opacity: 1 !important; text-shadow: 1px 1px black; -moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px white, -5px -5px 5px white; } /* The page under the menu */ .page { background: transparent !important; } /* Roughly half the menu items */ .alt1 { font-family: 'Trebuchet MS' !important;

We do not speak of the Elder Gods, and we certainly do not name them.
Odin, Loki, Freyr and Thor are wimps compared to the Elder Gods. (The Elder Gods in this case being the ones dreamed up by H.P. Lovecraft, and they make the old Asagods look like carebears!) |
