v3.0 CMYK

OrderedList.com v3.0 is now available via the style switcher, and will be the default template for newcomers to the site. It’s entitled ‘CMYK’ for obvious reasons (once you see it). I’m already aware of at least one bug with IE5/Mac. It’s a painting error causing the menus to disappear when hovered over, but resize the window and they ‘magically’ return. I’ve heard there’s a JavaScript fix for that out there, but I haven’t had the time to find it or think it up.

So let me know what you think, or if you’ve find any more bugs. Obviously I’m in a design-practicing phase. I’m sure it will pass soon. But for now, I hope you enjoy.

  1. The white on yellow on the home page, and likewise, the yellow on white on the article pages doesn’t seem like enough contrast. Other than that, nice as always…

  2. It seems different enough on my lcd, so I was hoping that it would fly. If people think it’s too close to the same, I’ll see if I can darken it up a little. Personally, I like it, but if the masses speak…

  3. It is readable to me, but I’m viewing on an LCD too. Personally I like the Roman style best, but I really apreciate how the CYMK design pushes the envelope of what the home page of a blog looks like.

  4. well, I called it yellow since CMGreenK doesn’t make as much sense as CMYellowK. :) To be honest, I’ll almost never see the home page since I use bloglines. And on the article pages, it’s used so sparingly I can live with it.

  5. Where’s the style sheet switcher? I loaded up your page via CSS Beauty and it loaded up an old style sheet which looked rather nice. Now I can’t seem to load it back up again.

  6. Blair, I’ve added the stylesheet switcher to every page now, it used to be only on the homepage (why, I have no idea.) Thanks for your ‘nudge.’

  7. I really like your new template!

    To me it’s a huge improvement to the previous one. There are minor things I don’t like that much like the headings, the orderedlist.com-picture and the comment’s strong backgrounds. Those areMINOR issues and overally I really enjoy “cmyk”.

    By the way: I implemented a similar navigation as your old one on this website. Other than yours it’s got a sub-navigation.

  8. Can you give an explanation on how you do the great diagonals?

  9. Stop! Don’t use Javascript to ‘repair’ display issues.

    A simple addition to the #menu section of your CSS will correct the painting error. Basically, IE (whatever flavour) gets very confused with CSSs using the declaration.

    So, simply add to the offending section and all should be sweet-mate.

  10. Excuse previous post. Didn’t preview.

    Stop! Don’t use Javascript to ‘repair’ display issues.

    A simple addition to the #menu section of your CSS will correct the painting error. Basically, IE (whatever flavour) gets very confused with CSSs using the position declaration.

    So, simply add position:relative; to the offending section and all should be sweet-mate. Some experimentation with other instances of the option for this declaration may be necessary, but you’ll get the idea.
