themes

Hey! I didn’t know you could have Desktop Themes in Windows 2000! That’s way cool. ActiveWin shows you how to do this and a ton more. There’s even a section of my favorite things: registry hacks! w00t!

Are these fonts too small? Anyone?

I’ve been fooling with the themes here at the dg.net web-technology outpost. It’s all wacky css and javascript fun! If you have cookies disabled (You paranoid silly person!) you might not be getting the whole shebang when you view my site(s). Oh well. Clicking on the “themes” links over there in the sidebar should allow you to change the entire look of this site. Which do you like? Which do you hate? Do you even care? Well. So. Okay then. Just trying to make you happy. That’s what I do here. I’m all about being user-friendly.

So … how do you like this layout?
You can now choose from several themes for the page. They are listed in the sidebar. Currently the themes are “Original”, “Holidays”, “Me-Fi”, and “Lost Pages”. Original is what you should get by default. Holidays is red and green. Me-Fi and Lost Pages are tributes to two of my favorite designs. Please let me know how they look in your browser. Merry Christmas Eve Eve.

So … I’ve changed so much of this site in the last few hours it’s not even funny. The css (Cascading Style Sheet) was revised and updated. There are actually now five distinct style sheets. Choose which one you like best! (The choices are in the sidebar.) I also modified a hunka buncha the javascript, took all of it from the individual pages and crammed it into one juicy .js file. I’ve stolen from bratta.com and scottandrew.com. Visit them for goodies.

According to the What’s Your Theme Song? quiz, my personal theme song is AC/DC’s Back in Black. I have to agree with Billy: Lame. This is the least on-target of all the quizzes I’ve taken at eMode.com. I only barely like that song, and there’s no way it’s the theme of my life. (Here are some great songs.) We’ve covered this topic at davidgagne.net already, remember? I love the Beatles and a million other groups, but for personal theme songs here it’s all about George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Either Bad to the Bone or Who Do You Love?.

Okay.

Maybe the Beatles’ Help!.

Maybe.

I need some help.
There are two songs that I’ve known and loved for my entire life. Well. A long time, anyway. They are not my two favorite songs or anything like that. Simply two wonderfully beautiful songs. I think one or the other should be my b l i n g theme song. No, I’m not going to make them midi files and force you to listen to them. Gak. I hate when people do that. I can’t decide which one is better though. So here they both are. You tell me which one you like better.

There were two mp3s linked here. I have since forgotten what those songs were. (05/27/2008)
