Customization is a blessing and a curse

[spacedogfromspace]

So I spent a few hours picking a new theme for my journal and tweaking it so it was just right... and then the icons started to look out of place... so I spent a few hours making a new set of icons that matched and blended in with my theme... and then I figured out how to add images and made a cute graphic for my header. And then I had to go be annoying and show it to everyone. Including this. I am being very annoying about this.

So my blog is adorable and very matchy, and I love it, but also I have gotten no real work done today. Procrastination at its best! xD

I would like some feedback on one thing though-- I made the header graphic a brighter cyan than the icons, which are the same colour as the text and borders. Would it be better to: 1. Make the icons brighter to match the header 2. Darken the header to the same shade as the icons, text, and boarders, or, 3. Leave it as it is?

I changed the header colour. I think you're right and it does look better.

On desktop the graphic and the text don't overlap at all (and on my phone I view dreamwidth in desktop view because not all themes work good in mobile) so thanks for letting me know about the mobile issue. I *think* that with the colour change it makes the text a bit easier to read? Like it's not great, but hopefully it's an improvement. xD

Oh yeah I'm on desktop now and the header looks fine. I love DW but it's mobile support is...not great.

Yeah mobile on DW is certainly... something. But I guess it would be hard to have good mobile support and the amount of customizability?
