subgreen

is the new tint of this site.
It felt about time I quit the wintery darkness of the last tint design. "Subgreen" now sports a new layout with only two columns now: Main content right and on the left a sidebar with search, tags and shorts. As always I went for subtle colors to avoid interference with future visual content. This time shades of green with super-deep-blue underlines.
Also: Every piece of content can now have a special view area, that appears on top of the main area. It can extend the full width to the left, pushing the sidebar down if necessary, like the subgreen-graphic above. This way I can show really big landscape images if desirable, without the use of pop-ups or extra pages. I developed this technique for dkdl.de and found this very useful.
Currently only this theme "subgreen" is available for this website. I am currently rethinking the whole tint switching concept, as it turned out that it takes a lot of time to keep all the old tints functional. (Time I would rather put into other things.)
