on March 14th, 2007MistyLook 3.2 – now released
I just managed to get some time and update the MistyLook theme to its latest version 3.2
The changes include,
1. Highlight the author’s comment. if the commenter’s email is same as the site admin’s email the post author’s email, it is highlighted with the border around the comment.
2. border:none; in style.css is changed to border:0; [for making it valid css]
3. Emoticons will not show the shaded background now.
4. Removed the hard coding of “Links” as a title for the blogroll.
Also made sure it looks the same as other sidebar content.
5. Changed the letter-spacing:1px; to letter-spacing:0px; attribute from several elements, to make sure the site displays properly for other languages such as Tamil. [If you like it the original way,you can change it back to 1px]
6. Added some spacing for sidebar’s list items, in style.css
Download it from Version 3 Page
Point 2: What validator are you using? Both ‘border: 0′ and ‘border: none’ are vaild. The ‘0′ is prefered for optimisation as it is 3 less charaters.
On a similar note. Point 5 could be shortened to ‘letter-spacing:0;’. 0 is zero no matter what units it is in. 0em = 0px = 0pt = 0% = 0. They all add up to the same thing. But plain old ‘0′ (by itself) is easier to read and less to download.
[...] my blog probably already noticed my pixely-faced banner is gone. And my theme looks different. Well Misty 3.2 was released today so I decided to update the site. There were numerous bugs in the last version I was using (Reloaded [...]
hi sadish! thanks for making that clarification about reloaded mistylook. i have one question though about the custom header feature in misty 3.2. it is still cutting off the banner even when i’ve created it 806×190. if there is a way to fix that, could you let us all know? i’ve created a banner that has a shortened border on the right to fit into the cropped area. i’m not trying to complain though. i think it’s a great theme! thanks for your great work!
The links need spacing. If you put in an image they are border to border, and there needs to be some space.
I am on wordpress dot com, so I can not modify this.
I like the theme, colors are a bit washy but over it’s good.
Thanks for this excellent theme, Sadish, just what I’ve been looking for. The colours are subtle and very easy on the eye and it’s fairly easy to edit even on wordpress.com itself.
So extremely pretty theme! Thank you!
Hi Sadish,
excellent work!
One question: our Blog has 13 authors, and the author’s comment Highlightning would be even better if it works for all authors and not only the admins mail ;-)
Is there a chance or solution to this problem?

Edlef,
I am using get_the_author_email in comments.php to figure if the commenter’s email matches with the post author’s email. so it should be able to highlight the comment, if the author of that post is the one making the comment on that post.
Thanks
Sadish
Hi Sadish,
thanks a lot for the quick response and the tip!!
I will check if my abilities are big enough to understand the code ;-)
THX!

I want to reiterate what msdanielle said about the theme. It’s GREAT! . . . but the style sheet does crop the image to 760×189, unless you change the style.css file to accommodate it. It’s not such a big deal when you have general photos. The cropping isn’t that noticeable. But if you have an image with some text in it, especially toward the edges, it can make a big difference. I know most people have at least 1024×768 screens, so it’s even less of an issue that it fit in a 800×600 screen. Thanks again for the great theme.
Hi Sadish! Just wanted to say thanks again for making such an awesome theme. I spent pretty much hours looking for the one I wanted till I found “Misty Look” by mistake. Such a beautiful simple them!
