Nebula

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

Love the layout. Nice and easy to read. Kinda freaky that in the screenshot the text is in Latin though...

I really like this style. I came across them after the winners were announced so I can't vote... but my question is, if I was to use it, is that OK? And then I'd need to figure out how to set it up...

[jc]

I have no objections to you using it now, but if you wait a few weeks you'll be able to choose a slightly improved version from the Customize area. (Nebula made the top 5!)

Wow, I like yours the best and wish it was 1st place. I am not sure of the ettiquette. are we allowed ot use your design if giving credit? and if so how? I've done some s2 modifications, and I see here to cut and paste the code, but it doesn't make my lj style look like this ....help...

No credit (or whishing) needed: Nebula made the top 5 as voted by the LiveJournal community, so a slightly improved version will become one of the system defaults in the next few weeks.

If you can't wait, check out FAQ 177 for instructions on how to use Nebula's layout layer now: you can skip most of it and head to the last three paragraphs, because when choosing a Layout layer you can select "Other..." and input Nebula's layerid, which is 3987767. To get the style to look exactly as it did in the screenshot, select "Other..." as your theme and use the layerid 4014749.

If you're still having problems, the nice people in support can assist.

i tried this...and i got this error:

Layer hierarchy mismatch: #4014749 is not a child theme layer of #3987767

haha. i find it interesting that you morons thinks "latin" is so weird and ridiculous, or "freaky" and "hilarious" to be exact.

it's dummy text. christ.

anyways, saw all this stuff *after* the contest, but just wanted to say congratulations, like the layout, just wish it didn't have that weird camo background :D

[jc]

just wish it didn't have that weird camo background :D

That's perfectly customisable. You can choose from any one of LiveJournal's supplied textures, a solid colour or your own background image, and/or work on top of one of the themes listed.

Can I move the navbar to the right side?

And can I get rid of the weird gradients at the tops of the boxes?

[jc]

If you go to Edit Individual Customizations in the Customize area, you can choose which side the sidebar shows up on.

The "weird gradients" are currently not optional, but that'll change between now and the time Nebula's added as a system style.
