In my navigation bar this would not fit without another line. As it is I have already to scroll horizontally to get the button of the search field. And since I already have chosen the site style as my page style, I'd rather have the status quo than a larger navbar or horizontal scrolling.

Having an option to add it might be good, but I'd rather not have another link I won't use cluttering up my navbar.

I'd prefer an option for the site scheme style to the light style by far.

Maybe a drop down:

Reload in: * style

with *:
mine/default
light
site

that would solve the space problem, but i can't tell you how much i love those links being just one click away.

I'd like it to be a per-user option which of those three (or even which two of those three) shows on your navbar. I don't like the idea of adding an extra click.

+1. It'd need redesigning if it was going to be a drop-down, because those links are already right underneath the search box and drop-down and another one would be too close imo.

If the drop-down is activated with some sort of go button, it destroys the one-click simplicity we have now. If the drop down activates just on selection, it's going to be a massive usability problem for anyone with poor mousing skills, a sticky trackball, or whatever.

I think the dropdown is a v. bad idea.

I'd like a setting to view every page on the entire site when logged in in style=site.

You can achieve this effect by having your comment pages be in the site style. Then, when you use style=mine, your style will be the site style.

Thanks! I actually have a bookmarklet I adapted (javascript:var%20str=location.search;str=str.replace(/format=light/g,'style=site');var%20sep=(str?'&':'?');location.search=((str.indexOf('style=site')==-1)?str+sep+'style=site':str);) from murklins's on my browser's toolbar, but I keep finding myself moving toward the navigation bar and searching for a ?style=site link that's not there before remembering, "Oh, that's right. There's no ?style=site link. I have to use a bookmarklet instead."

I also for my own reasons (mainly, that table and other html codes are not added to site scheme style yet) prefer not to have my entries viewed in site scheme style by default just as yet.

?? tables display correctly in celerity. (I am having some difficulty switching to the other schemes to test. D:) I know at one point del and ins didn't work, but they do now.

The only open tag issue I can find in bugzilla is that lists don't nest correctly. If you have other sitescheme tag issues, can you please file a support request?

I think it's in the queue? Or at least, implied to me when I made a comment to the official staff. Tables do display in site scheme, but there's not much you can do to customize it yet. Like if you indicate background color or valign or such, it's not displaying it correctly as yet (in Tropospherica in any case).

[zvi]

bugzilla is the queue the developers are working from. (I mean, I suppose in a sense there's the "issues that Mark and Denise know about but have not yet filed a bugreport" queue but, like all mental lists, this is worth the paper it is written on.)

I've looked for bugs about the issue of style tags/style attributes display incorrectly in sitescheme and I found one more which deals with the following tags: blockquote, code, dl, sub, sup, h3 - h6.

If you don't want to submit the bug report, I can file a support request based on this conversation, but since I don't know the actual problem (I dislike all of the siteschmes for reading entries), the report will be less useful than if you write it.

[wistfuljane]

Oh, I just assumed from various conversations and the support page linking to this FAQ, that it's an issue Dreamwidth is working on. That the style & accessibility team is slowing re-writing the sitescheme style to make it more accesibility-friendly and logicial? So I didn't want to push much -- plus I'm pretty clueless with the specific of what Dreamwidth plans/wants to do.

Reading the bug report, the only thing I can suggest is that ins needs styling.

[wistfuljane]

Yea, reading this post gives me pause about writing a support request.
