One main colour with shades of grey, so easy to customise

Instructions

1. Go to Select Style and choose 'Negatives'.

2. Under Customise Selected Theme, go to Modules and select whatever you like, in any order, just make sure the modules under the sidebar section stay in the sidebar, and the header stays in the header section. Also, the calendar only works as a table. Tags work for list, cloud and multi-level.

3. For the Custom CSS section, make sure 'Use layout's stylesheet(s)' is unticked and leave the 'Use an external stylesheet' blank. Then just paste the CSS either from the box below, or your edited CSS, into the large box, and save.

This layout only uses blue and shades of grey, so if want to change the blue, the hex is #4D4A6A. Just Find&Replace in a text editor.

To add a header image, add this in the 'PAGE' section of the CSS:

#header {background: url(URL) center center no-repeat; padding: HEIGHT+45px 0 0 0; margin: -30px 0 0 0;}

And you need to take the height of the image and add about 45px to that. If you need help with this, feel free to ask.

You can either get the code here, with no site icon replacements, or download a zip with all the icons and instructions needed.

This layout is lovely and I'm totally using it.

One thing, the tags are showing up as a bulleted list on my journal and not in the neat little boxes.

Thank you! :)

Um, you don't actually have all the code for some reason, it's cut off quite a bit before the end. Try and c&p again, the code isn't long enough for DW to cut it off.

Using it, thanks!! I was dying for having a new shiny layout! ^_^

:) Thanks.

Oh you rock! I've been hoping for one simple enough for me to play with :P

Thank you! :D

And do your worst. ;)

thanks, using this on one of my comms!

I'm using it, thanks!

This is gorgeous. Will definitely be using. And thanks for the information on how to add a header! I never know how to do that. :D

Thanks!

I thought it might be useful. ;)

Very lovely! I'm taking it, will credit, of course!

Thanks! :)

Thanks for this layout; it's quite nice and pretty easily adaptable. Now, to make a default icon that matches it a bit better. :)

Thank you. :)

Have snagged, am tweaking, will credit. :-) Thank you!

I'm changing the colors on mine, but yeah, I'm definitely using it! :]

This is really cool! Credited you in my profile.

Thank you! :)

I really like this! I'll probably mess around with this a little later. :) Great work!

Thank you!<33

This layout is lovely! Thank you for sharing. I've credited you on my profile. Thanks!

Lovely! *bookmarks*

Aw, thanks! <3

(deleted comment)

This is great! Thank you so much :)

Thanks. :)

I like this!
going to use it.
Is it possible to add a bg img? (more specifically where?)

Thanks. :)

Yep, it would go under html body, right at the top of the CSS. Replace the background: #4D4A6A; with this:

background: url(URL) repeat #4D4A6A;
