It sounds like most of the problems you have are fixable and just need a few
tweaks here and there. When I start on this I will setup a demo site so we
all can review (and critic!). Maybe a few people will have some extra time
to help out with some of the css issues. I hope to get this into 1.8.0 but
obviously it depends on the time I need to put into it and when 1.8.0 will
actually come out.

I actually prefer the fixed width as it makes designing easier and looks
better on bigger screens.

I actually had a look at it last weekend to check if it would be possible to
use it in 1.8.0.

While it's obviously a good clean start, there are a couple of things I
didn't like:

- The font is different, at least on my machine. Despite what's declared in
the CSS, I get a serif font instead of a sans-serif font (checked with
Firefox and Safari).

- It has a fixed width.

- Some of the alignments are odd or off, e.g. for the search box in the left
block or the line with the "welcome" and the date above the centerblock. I
realize not everything can be translated 1:1 to pure CSS, so some of them
may simply require some getting used to, e.g. the R/E checkboxes for the
permissions.

- In many forms, text before and after checkboxes needs some horizontal
space, IMO.

- In the plain story editor, the width of the intro/body text areas should
be increased. Also, there's a border around the permissions editor but not
around anything else.

As I said, it's a good start (and I don't doubt it was a lot of work -
kudos). But I think it needs some fine-tuning before it becomes our default
theme.

bye, Dirk
