chris was complaining, so i gave in and added the theme selector back without fully doing what i wanted to do. it'll change soon, so whatever.
anyways, you might notice the names of the themes available. there is the ever popular, surprisingly good-looking 'blues' theme, the old default, which is now called 'bright', since that is how it looks when coming off of the new default. the new default has a more interesting name - stoic muenster. why? well, zack and i were conversing, and...
OneMnBand (11:52:28 AM): personally, i would call it stoic
OneMnBand (11:52:31 AM): i don't know why
OneMnBand (11:52:35 AM): but that keeps coming to me
monsterniv (11:52:41 AM): hm
monsterniv (11:52:42 AM): i dig
monsterniv (11:52:45 AM): with all that gray
OneMnBand (11:53:00 AM): right
monsterniv (11:53:06 AM): the red is a hint though
monsterniv (11:53:08 AM): of something else
monsterniv (11:53:13 AM): i want to qualify the word stoic
OneMnBand (11:53:13 AM): right
monsterniv (11:53:25 AM): because i qualify the whole look with that red, you know
OneMnBand (11:53:36 AM): def
OneMnBand (11:56:19 AM): well, how do you feel the red qualifies the overall look
OneMnBand (11:56:22 AM): what does it add
monsterniv (11:57:13 AM): i dunno
monsterniv (11:57:16 AM): a little happiness maybe?
monsterniv (11:57:21 AM): just some color
monsterniv (11:57:34 AM): some fucking cheese
monsterniv (11:57:40 AM): hehe
OneMnBand (11:58:58 AM): ha
OneMnBand (11:58:59 AM): yeah
OneMnBand (11:59:02 AM): its def the cheese
OneMnBand (11:59:12 AM): the question is....what kind of cheese
OneMnBand (11:59:19 AM): :-P
monsterniv (11:59:37 AM): hehe
monsterniv (11:59:42 AM): not too strong
monsterniv (11:59:45 AM): but definitely noticeable
monsterniv (11:59:48 AM): and always good
monsterniv (11:59:50 AM): muenster.
OneMnBand (12:00:16 PM): haha
OneMnBand (12:00:24 PM): you should call it muenster
OneMnBand (12:00:25 PM): or
OneMnBand (12:00:28 PM): stoic muenster
OneMnBand (12:00:30 PM): haha
this is how my mind works.
UPDATE: zack pointed out that the cheese reference will be lost on everyone except him. when i was working on the whole 'sidebar on the left' thing at first, i had a totally black and white layout. zack said it was missing something. in fact, he said it was like a sandwich without cheese.

re: Oooh...
Shiny. I definitely like your new default theme more than your initial effort. It looks so much smoother and cleaner.
