Every now and then this happens.

A new colour scheme catches my eye. Some new-fangled idea. Sometimes original, sometimes borrowed. Sometimes frankensteined.

But somehow every time I put together a redesign, I’m hesitant to mix in graphics, as if the addition of images would somehow mar a purely (or mostly) textual design. It’s an unnecessary constraint I place upon myself, but it’s a challenge to create compelling design without any images.

There are many elements I’ve yet to bring back into the site, not to designing mention the template for individual posts. As usual, you’ll have to bear with the construction that’s going on.

Thanks for sticking around.

Really, thanks.

But, but, but… I liked the one with the little trees and the changing sky.

:P

Just kidding. Looking forward to your inspired non-image-based template!

i’m ok with experiments, just got a little shock with the new color scheme… it looks a little star-wars-y.. dunno :)

a little too dark for your personality and style tho.imo. :P

isit just me or isit really hard to see the words with this color scheme?

agree with clouds. i think of sunny weather and bright and happy colors when i think about tribolum :)

I think you’re right, the legibility is a little hard to read. :) I was designing it at the dead of night with a really bright screen, so I think I muted all contrast so I wouldn’t blind myself. I’ve tweaked it a little to make it a little brighter.

Will work on the cheerier bits. :)
