New look for Pattern Recognition

1. Walt Crawford April 14, 2007

   Well, in Firefox–at least on my system (Windows XP/SP2, Firefox 2.0.0.3, 1280×1024 resolution)–it’s suboptimal. The Flickr photos and the right column overlay the text column (by quite a bit), making most entries difficult/impossible to read. Additionally, less than half the screen width appears to be used for text, an interesting aesthetic sense.

   And personally, I find white text on a black background annoying–but maybe that’s just me.

   Thanks for the note, Walt. I fixed that issue (turned out I had some CSS positioning off).

   And I get the white text thing…but I’ll stick with it a bit and see what others think. I’m not sold on it either, but I do like the look.

   I like it, but light text on a dark background never really bothered me. Very clean, and the right aligns fine on mine (Firefox 2.0.0.3 on a MacBook, 1280×800), no overlap. I’m not sure about the divergent shades of orange .

   Nice. I might reduce the post title line-height, and increase the post-content line-height. Maybe a fancier font for the various titles (of course I’m on Ubuntu, so I’m not sure what it ‘sposed to look like)? Maybe interesting if the blog title overlapped the pulse (perhaps in the same yellow as the pulse-line) or maybe butted up against it.

   I’ve always enjoyed a dark background with light text. It’s always been easier on my eyes. I kinda like the new look.

   The white text on black is slick looking, but my eyes are struggling with it this morning (possibly because of lack of sleep???). I like the color scheme and the layout, especially the date things. I am getting some overlapping text (using Firefox 2.0.0.3, XP, 1280 x 1040) in the area where your meta info is located. But overall, I am glad you went with a different theme. =)
