Introducing Polar 0.2

updated by rck, 2006-03-25

rck2004, the old kiesler.at theme, has been online from March 2004 until now, October 2004. It's been a quick hack and was meant to be replaced earlier. I've made a new theme, it's called Polar 0.2. It will be the default theme as of today.

Problems as of now
Polar 0.1 and 0.2 crash Netscape 4.04 on the Mac completely. It's simply gone. Polar 0.2 still has a couple of non validating markup. It's getting worse, when you try to validate an article. The margins aren't right at all. Stuff is litterally sticking to the sides of the boxes. Don't know how to fix that, without destroying the whole layout. Form input boxes don't line up. how would I do that without using tables? The main layout is still table based. I guess, that's my smallest problem as of now. I will try to base my next design on a css theme.

Conclusion
Polar 0.2 is a step forward, but it's also a step backward. While rck2004 was no beauty, it's been more compatible. On the other hand, I've already been surfing with Polar 0.1 for weeks and didn't like the rck2004 design anymore. Well... I'd as always love to read your opinions, comments, suggestions, rants, whatever.
