Great idea!

Suggested name:  Electric Blue.

WOW, I'm pretty much a lurker around these parts, but am always reading the board, and just had to come out of lurker mode to say that I really like these two new style sheets. I love the new one, Dolphin. Very nice with the FM logo

I was able to use Electric Sun, but had difficulty with where to put the images. They never would show up. I'm sure it has something to do with where I put them. I'm on a Mac, and the .css file worked okay, but wasn't sure where to put the images.

Definitely like these style sheets. Nice job!

I don't have a Mac, but it seems that it should work as long as you have the images folder in the same directory as the custom.css file.

Ditto that for FM Dolphin (assuming it's working smoothly and de-bugged)! I check my mail on both PCs and Macs, so the custom.css thing doesn't work so well for me. Thanks Jeremy!

I would have thought so, too. But, at least as I am concerned, it doesn't work. The style sheet shows up fine. But I have placed the images everywhere I can think of, and they do not show up. But I'll keep trying ... even without the images, I like these

Use it as C:\Custom.css and choose this one in Options.

I have one request for Electric Sun. When it is added to the list, it would be great if 2 versions were available: the original for the big monitors and one for smaller monitors (smaller margins).

I was just going to ask that.

Ok, due to popular demand, here is Electric Sun B. This has no margins so the display will fit across the width of the screen.

- View Electric Sun B in Sanjay's tester here.
- Download the zip of the stylesheet with all its images here.

Oh, and you said "When it is added to the list...", does anyone know if it will be added and what kind of time-frame this would happen in?

Thanks, s_j! Very nice! I believe Jeremy mentioned that once he receives a bunch of new stylesheets, he'll add them together...not sure how long that will be.

Ahhh, MUCH better! Those margins were a real pain in the butt on an average-sized monitor. It looks great without them!

Me too.

Some other comments:

1) Instead of naming them "Electric Sun" & "Electric Sun B" maybe "Electric Sun - Small Monitor" "Electric Sun - Large Monitor"

2) I noticed that the header for the Inbox folder is not capitalized. However, there are two folders with the same names: Drafts & drafts. (Not sure if anyone else has done that with their style sheets.) Should we make it a convention that capitalization must match folder name?

3) Overall I like Electric Sun and may make that my new style. (One of the problems with the wonderful people connected with fm is that there are soooooooo many great style sheets to choose from.)

P.S. How about taking it further into a "Slim Electric Sun"

Sorry I'm too pushy.. I'm mainly concerned with the size of the folder tree on the left, I'd prefer to be able to fit as many folders on one screen without scrolling down (some people here have 100+ folders, including me). So I guess I'm referring to using smaller font and spacing the folder names very close together...

But even if not that's OK, I have other members here who'd love this CSS and they don't use as many folders...

**DBH** · 4 Mar 2004, 09:24 AM

bitequator, maybe I'll do a slim version sometime.

I wonder how many other users like their .css slimmed down?

guest2k · 4 Mar 2004, 12:16 PM

to tell the truth, i love slim style sheet, the best and ONLY one is *slim sand* because it's the only one that fits in all resolution. Everything just fits in, you dont have to scroll left, right, up, or down.

and NONE of other style sheet can do that yet, except for *slim sand* ... there are other slim style sheet, but they don't work nicely like *slim sand*
