Eeeeh. I wonder why people are still asking me whether they can use Flexible Squares at Dreamwidth. (For, um, anyone who joined the party late and never made the connection, I created and submitted Flexible Squares for the style contest at LiveJournal ages ago, and it was made into a system style over at LJ.)
I have nothing against anyone using the style at Dreamwidth. Or anywhere else, for that matter. It's just this: with all the styles Dreamwidth currently has, and the flexibility of Core 2/Tabula Rasa, you don't need Flexible Squares. It's old news. Completely outdated. Can be thrown out of the window and fed to sharks. (Also its default is in ugly blue/grey colours.)
. . . I am tempted to fiddle with the CSS for Core 2 and coming up with something that looks exactly like Flexible Squares, just to prove my point. Well, just CSS won't be enough, but it won't take up to over 1,000 lines of S2 like last time.
. . . Then people will be asking why the CSS they've been using over at LJ doesn't work here. XD You just can't win this one, I guess. There's no way I'll use some of the class names we had for FS. I was young and not very bright then. I am still not very competent with CSS now, to be honest.
Uh. Let me finish bug 1813 first, and that style still in limbo in
dreamscapes, before getting grandiose ideas.
