Tips, hacks and skins for B2evo

I completed the skins. They are called Wastepaper Male, Wastepaper Female and Wastepaper Kidcorner. All are available in the extend section of B2o. I liked working on these skins. I used a technique that I thought of myself: make the headers 'on the fly' in gif or jpg with any font. This way I have ultimate flexibility in font choice. I knew the technique is available in php and luckily I found a working example, so I didn't need to do the programming myself.
One of the themes I thought out was a note. I envisaged a handwritten font with it. As a theme it worked with the idea of a blog: there thoughts, that would have been thrown away if the weren't written down. This is to be a confrontation between temporarily (note, wastepaper) and eternity (blog). That has becomne the wastepaper collection.
Next are three ideas or themes. In no particualar order I want to work on these.
First 'newspaper'. Making the main area a little yellow / grey with newspaper font (Harald Tribune and Dutch Volkskrant) in the header and a bold font for article header. This is to be wrapped in torn paper or the zigzag cut of a newspaper on the sides.
Second 'Gealic'. There are some nice fonts and artwork (knots) available for a nice look. As for colours, green will be prominent, but I'm not sure of secundairy colours.
Third 'Twenties'. Once again there are fonts and artwork on the web for inspiration. I could mix three artperiods: Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts and Art Deco or stick with one of these. Flowers, beatiful long ladies and bright coulours mixed with soft tones.
I have a fourth idea that hasn't been worked out yet. I need some more inspiration for that one.
All three of them will use the latest in technology: special layouts for handhelds and printing, choosable font sizes, round corners ('Twenties') and more. So keep a watch on this blog for progression.
