Title
Friends Page should include the chosen "Friends Page Title" for all styles including "unearthed".

Short, concise description of the idea
On "digital multiplex" and "punquen elegant" as well as other layouts, the "Title" of The "Friends Page" shows up the way it was chosen in the User Information choices.
However on the "Unearthed" Layout, the title on the Friends page simply duplicates the regular "Journal Title"
Can this journal style please have the Friends Page with the Friends Page Title?

Full description of the idea
On "digital multiplex" and "punquen elegant" as well as other layouts, the "Title" of The "Friends" Page shows up as selected in the User Information choices.

However on the "Unearthed" Layout, the title on the Friends page simply duplicates the regular "Journal Title" that also shows as the Journal Title on the "Recent Entries Page".

This makes the Friends Page look almost identical to the Journal User's own Recent Entries page. The only place where the Friends Page Title shows is in the browser bar where nobody looks anyway. Since some styles are coded with The Friends Page Title actually showing up on the Friends Page and this one does not, I wonder if it wasn't an oversight for "unearthed". In any case I think the Friends Page should have the Friends Page Title as specified on the User Information. It only makes sense.

An ordered list of benefits
  • Differentiates the Recent Entries Page from the Friends Page.
  • Allows the User to choose the "Friends Page Title" as stated by their choice in their User Information.
  • Less confusing for the reader of the journal.

An ordered list of problems/issues involved
  • Someone has to adjust the coding to do it.
  • Some users might want the same title on the friends page as their current entries page (they can specify this, so it really isnt' a problem).

An organized list, or a few short paragraphs detailing suggestions for implementation
  • The "punquin elegant" and other styles have a seperately chosen title for the "Recent Entries" page and for the "Friends Page". Members can already choose a Friends Page Title on their User Information. I am just suggesting that the chosen Friends Page Title appear as such on the Friends Page. :)
21st July 2004 @ 07:43 pm - Link Color Customization for UNEARTHED layout of S2 ["unearthed", styles, § historical]

Title
Link Color Customization for UNEARTHED layout of S2

Short, concise description of the idea
Making the UNEARTHED layout of S2 more customizable by adding a section to change the color of link text.

Full description of the idea
So far I've found S2 to be very customizable and easy to work with. However, in revamping my journal in it's new layout (UNEARTHED), I found it not possible to
change the colors of the link text. That color blue kills the eyes on dark backgrounds and is often not even visible at all. I really enjoy the UNEARTHED layout, but the inability to change link text color throws the whole rest of the journal off. Also, its almost impossible to SEE already visited links. It seems silly to be able to change the color of everything else, but having to keep the link text bright blue.

An ordered list of benefits
  • Links would be more visable on dark backgrounds
  • Would make journals look better
  • Would make the UNEARTHED layout totally color customizable

An ordered list of problems/issues involved
  • If there can be a color option for everything else, there shouldn't be a drawback at all to adding a default override for link text colors.

An organized list, or a few short paragraphs detailing suggestions for implementation
  • It would be set up just as simple as customizing the rest of the colors on your journal.
  • All that needs to be added are override boxes for link color, visited link color, and active link color.
