Well, as you can see now, I am using my latest theme for flisterz.com for its third version. Actually the ‘third version’ thing has no significant meaning pun. Just want to distinguish this from the previous theme and all. In case you already forgot how my previous theme looks like, you can have a look at the screenshot.

Rawwwr
rawwr

Brief introduction – Rawwwr is currently my favourite word. No, dont pronounce it softly or anything similar to Meoow ( like Alip did). It is more like a cruel sound. Actually this is a name of a song by a screamo/metal band called Bring Me the Horizon. No I dont really like that band, just the title of the song. I even create a wallpaper for this ( I’ll share that later)

I decided to name this theme Rawwwr. I love that word. :) I took almost 3-4 hours to design this theme due to my low level of creativity lately. In fact, I finished most of the design during the study week when I supposed to be studying. damn. But thats ok. Then I continue finishing all the remaining task after the last paper of final exam. For coding and CSS styling, let say I spend 70 hours? no. that is just an estimation but I surely spend a lot – well, to fix those IE bugs and everything- so that this theme is compatible with those major browsers out there.

Up to this moment, I’ve checked with Firefox 2 and Opera 9 These browsers show no major differences – just few padding and margin effect and hover effect in IE of course but thats not a big deal. I concern only on layout arrangement and physical view. For those who are using other browsers, kindly inform me if you experience any major displacement and stuff through the comment. thank you :)

*update: for IE, I am still working on the alignment of the third column.damn IE

Compared to my previous theme, I decided to create a more crowded and compact theme. My previous theme is too spacious -empty and boring. This time, I put a lot on the frontpage to make it more crowded. haha a weird approach isn’t it? Well, let give it a shot lah this time. While everyone is aligning their content in the middle of the screen, I decided to align them to the left. And sorry for 800×600 and 1024×768 resolution users, I think you gonna hate this theme. Say Goodbye. Hehe.

Next stop
As usual, I need to validate the XHTML and CSS for this theme. I haven’t check any single code yet. Maybe tomorrow. Too tired facing the codes and all. urgh.

*update: okay valid already. Just a few scratches.

I have problem with my contact form. I tried to send something via my contact form but I did not receive anything in my inbox. I think this is because of my hosting provider. I tried the same code/contact form plugin in my previous hosting and there was no problem. Damn I dont know what to do. Do i have to set up something in my cPanel? I hate this. And oh, I accidently deleted my Gallery page. Yeah thats good.

  1. these are my 2cents =

    major prob… not working smoothly with IE and FIREFOX. (not just ie )…

    unmatching stripes at the bottom.. guessing its quite visible on laptop.. (use png la)..

    footer is not at the bottom.. there are still margin/whitespaces..

    the whole thing don’t really compliment each other.. i see lots of inconsistencies

    since the comment appears at the right, the form ought to be at the right..

    since it exceed 1024px, why align it to the left ? i suggest you stop worrying for validating and start worrying about displaying the design right.

    check you spam filter (for gmail).. it will be sent there.. all of my clients are considered as ’spam’ by gmail..

    i think the fixing of this theme alone could be as being used to build another new theme..

    wah very fast.
    unmatching stripes. yah i notice that. Will try to replace them with PNG soon. how bout IE? can view PNG?

    footer is fixed already. no white space.
    *Edit: white space in IE cause by Automattic Stat plugin. only visible in IE. no big deal lah just white space.

    nope. not in the spam filter in gmail
    thanks

  3. wow.. chockablock! way to go. love the realistic paper 3D thingy.. hihi

  4. Akhirnya..siap jugak.. ^__^ good job flisterz, theme ni mantap, still boleh dipolish lagi..take your time..

    btw, thanks for the links at the front page.. ^__^

  5. wow ^_^

  6. if you are using windows hosting, you have to ask from your provider to allow mail (); function.

    if you are using linux pun still have to ask from your provider sebab some of them taknak on it by default due to takut ko buat email bomber/spammer and such

  7. walaupun width lebih dari user 1024 still boleh scroll ke kanan. tp ape yg aku hadapi skang nih.. :D side bar ko turun ke bawah. same ngan footer..

    pasal contact form tuh. mcm artgeex ckp ataupun contact form tuh sendri tak jalan.

  8. dude third column moves under second column under 1024×768 res. personally I liked your previous theme better :)
    oh and the dude at the top of the page looks nothing like you. he’s way fat.
    the blogpost title date doesn’t match the seeming funky-ness of the rest of the page

    @artgeex: thanks for that info :)

    urgh banyak pulak problem ngn third column. dah agak dah. have to take it down first lah. :(

  10. wow!
    huu.. kelu sial lidah aku tengok design ko kali ni…
    mana ko korek idea brilliant begini? bagi aku sikit.. bagi aku!

  11. waa!! So this is the new design eh ? Dont hav anything else to comment, since the masters (all of you guys above) already gave one or two.

    anyway, thanks for the link to my site, really appreciate it. the site was blocked for 3 days, excessive bandwidth usage. huhu..

    darn.. gotta put that file sumwhere else..

  16. flisterz - 02 Jun 2007

    oo that fireboard module rite? wow.
    yah host it on a static page. :)

  17. the single page does not really fill the space available in the right part of my monitor screen (widescreen) but it’s an impressive design, dude. inform me if you plan to release it later.

  18. Great! r u releasing this ?

  19. flisterz - 03 Jun 2007
