Nebula is now live
Nebula has been voted one of the top five styles in LiveJournal's second ever style contest, and is now available for use with your journal via the Customize Area. A big thank you to everyone who voted.

Now that Nebula is publically-available, I will no longer be accepting requests for help with this style, and comments to this

I love your strip mini-calendar - what a great idea! :D

[evel66]

I agree. ^^

Isn't it totally hot!

The calendar placement is genius!

This is fabulous, and I join the other commenters in praise for the calendar placement. There is one small issue here, though: how about the calendar strip sharing the color-avidness of other elements?

Anyway, I'll vote for it :)

Time constraints forced me to hard-code the MiniCal colours, and I didn't want to make any changes to the style code once the submission deadline had passed in order to avoid gaining an unfair advantage. If my style wins the contest, this'll be one of the things I'll fix first, as I do believe the MiniCal colours should be as customisable as the rest of them.

Thanks for your vote!

You're very welcome, and of course I don't mind. Don't forget to vote for your favourites in the contest!

I would prefer the main entry part to be wider as default, but I assume that's easily changed. The strip calendar's a novel thing, and it's always good to see what S2 can do. One thing though: When you go to post a comment, the form is too wide for the content strip thingy with its current size. I'd also prefer some form of divider or more space between the post comment and read comment links. This is mostly personal preference though. I'm too lazy to play with all of the styles, so I'll just assume that you can change all of this ;)

Certainly.

The width of the content area is currently calculated by subtracting the sidebar width percentage from the main page width percentage. Both the sidebar and content areas have margins of their own, so that contributes to the gap; the margins can be overridden in the CSS, though. I experimented adding a few percentage points to the content width, but anything I tried pushed the sidebar beneath the content in certain browsers. One option for the future would be to let people choose between an automatic and custom width for the content area.

The talklinks are contained within the entryFooter div, so those tags can be customised to your heart's content via the CSS. The default keeps it simple.

As for the reply form, time didn't permit me to investigate restricting the width of the form, so I can only apologise for that. I obviously don't want to mess with the layout code in the middle of the voting process, however, so any changes will be made once the votes are in and the winners are announced.

I have to agree on this one, cuz on my screen there's like a 3 inch gap between the sidebar and the entries... But otherwise I love it and I'm voting for it :)
