Holy cow, I love the "peacock" one. I just changed my layout, but in a few weeks when I'm itching for a new one, I'm so using this. ;)

I tried to click on "view larger" but I get a Photobucket prompt saying the image has been moved?

Hmm, weird, try it again now, it should be fixed.

One of the first times you ever posted a theme/layout that had multiple flavors, I thought the thumb was an actual screen shot. It was really simple so I guess it worked in my head.

I felt so stupid when I realized what I missed. lol

These are really nice, I might switch to Memories or Peacock, not sure which. Choices!

These are beautiful! I love "The Repulsive Knowledge" but "Peacock" would go better with my FO Banner. :)

I'm definitely using The Shimmering Faust, it's amazing!

I've only been desperately wanting to change my layout for a month now, and this came along at a perfect time. I adore Aviator (I'm really drawn to neutral colours matched with brighter colours), will be uploading that within minutes!

Thank you!

I don't think I'll ever change my LJ layout evereverever again. This is amazing.

(Well, except to another color of this one. Ha.)

I really love this style. The font size was wonky for me at first, but then I read both of the FAQ's and fixed it.

Hooray! :D

Thanks so much for not only making really great templates, but for creating easy FAQ's for us. Its very appreciated.

Ohh, I love them all, but I'm taking Peacock for now. Great work as always!

Oh wow, these are gorgeous. I especially like the "peacock" one and "repulsive knowledge." Saving to memories for future use!

Oh man, I love the titles! I love the original but I may be changing to peacock or repulsive knowledge soon. Thanks for making different color schemes for this beautiful layout :)

I only use your layouts. I took, am using, and have credited.

[info]astralis_lumen

August 8 2008, 03:44:37 UTC 3 years ago

I love the little details you add to your layouts, like the circle thing on the calendar or the styling of the titles of things in the sidebar/blockquotes/defintions and how they match.

Seriously adorable; love this one, esp. the Shimmering Faust.

Yay! Taking the peacock one :D Thanks! Lovely stuff as always :)

Snagged Peacock Declining an Umbrella for my journal. :)

BTW, for some reason, I'm getting a green bar just below the header image - it's not a big deal (it looks perfectly fine), but I'm not sure if it's something within the code or something that I've messed up accidentally.

ETA: Also, I just noticed my fonts are off. I'm on Firefox 3, but it could be my computer acting up...

ETA2: Link to a screencap of how it looks on my computer: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/theladyscribe/daf91f6c.jpg

The green bar is because your image resized itself when you uploaded it to Photobucket. Check the FAQ for how to fix this.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the fonts are off". They look normal to me.

Wow, these are awesome.

I'm using The Shimmering Faust for my lj now. :P

I really love the new color schemes for this layout. I liked it but didn't like the colors much.

One I pick one I'll be using this.
