The Campaign Builder's Guild

Very polished.

Phoenix, all I'm talking about is the whole Portal look I have (and also the particular menu I designed on the front page), I'm trying to keep that look unique.  The sidebar, and standard top headers, etc, etc, don't matter to me at all.  In fact, the sidebar I created eons ago was actually just ripped from some wikipedia sidebar menu.  I mean, I know it's not copyrighted or patented or anything, but I put a lot of work into giving the setting a defining look on the wiki, and hadn't really intended it to be just a template for every setting to use, you know? ;)

Yes, I get it. I'd feel the same way, I'm sure.

I've actually been working a bit more on SM's main menu, using a left-floating menu that I think captures his submenu desire more than a series of a menus will.

The menu is looking very good so far, but honestly, I think a right-floating menu works better.  Left-menus make my eye automatically draw towards them - since in the western-reading world, we read left-to-right, and look left to begin things - and away from the content.  I think a right-floating menu makes the menu be more of a menu, and less content-like, you know?  

But honestly, it doesn't matter to me, that's just how I would probably go about it.

Nice header art, BTW

Also, and it's just a personal opinion more than anything, doesn't matter to me, but when I read Panisadore, I picture browns, reds, and kindof-green colors, not blue.  But that's probably the least useful and important thing I can think of to say about it, so doesn't really matter! ;)

Those are easily fixed.

I haven't read the setting, but I'll go for a browner look on the menu.

I changed those to a woody color. But I don't much care for the default purple/blue link color on that background. Can that be overriden?

Oh yeah, I remembered why I originally set it left--in case he wanted to use the location template or other right-floating templates.

But I guess that doesn't really matter.

Wow - I've only got a couple of minutes to look at it today - but it looks great! I'll have to wait til I get back from Faerie Worlds tomorrow to delve into how it works. (My fiance is getting impatient with my being online even now. . .) THanks!!

BTW Ish - actually color impressions convey a lot back to me as to the setting's feel - and can give me a sense also of adjustments in "calibration" as I write when I look at what else needs including in the material. (Music/soundtrack impressions do likewise - I haven't been including soundtrack notes lately, I think I'll start doing so more.)

Phoenix, unfortunately, as far as I know, the only way to override the link/text colors is to change the css style for the theme, which is not something I want to mess with too much.  Now, there may be changes that can be done within the div tags, but if so, I'm not aware of them.

You can put a span tag inside of your link.

{{L|link|<span style="blah blah">Text</span>}}

This could get to be tedious so if there's a lot of demand for it I could probably whip up a "color link" template.

Well, since it's just for his menu template, it could probably just be done once by hand, and then the template will be on every page.  Probably not much need to make a template for that specifically, sparky :)
