A sandbox logo PNG with an alpha channel. Originally for my footer I created it by copying the b/w shape into the alpha channel of a solid color rectangle. Means: You can change the color and preserve the alpha just by flooding it with another color (At least, I can. With GraphicConverter).

It’s a roaring development for my blog. Not only does the update to WordPress 2.5 impress me. I was quite lucky to have my redesign coincide with it. It’s all plain CSS crafted as a replacement stylesheet for WordPress.com’s Sandbox theme.

Notable «Features» of my CSS Skin include:

1. The starting configuration was heavily inspired by Yahoo UI stylesheets, allowing me to bypass a lot of browser glitches
2. The width accommodates Videos (unlike prologue which I would use, if it could)
3. Particular Attention to lists (inspired by Prologue)
   • Also to nested lists
4. Custom design for downloads, warnings and announcements, based on commonly used class names
   1. These can be nested, e.g. a warning inside a download
5. Silk Icons by FamFamFam (CC license: BY 2.5)
6. A custom admin bar
7. My favourite: You get 1, 2 or 3 columns, depending on your screen size. On a 1600 pixel wide display you see three columns wasting no screen width. On a 800 pixel wide screen you get, tumbleloglike, one column.

• Image Galleries
• Headings (partly)
• Some parts in the comments section

And when it shines on Webkit and Gecko browsers I’ll try to support IE
