Independent/prototype Style Browser

Take a look at this Dreamwidth Style Browser, especially the theme list (click on the Filter heading to see what filters you can use).

This little independent project was inspired by [personal profile] ninetydegrees' getting started styles post, where she started to make a list of what layouts and themes had what features.

It's certainly not perfect--the layout and theme properties need better guides and explanations, the color categories need tweaking, and I think I need to define more areas as feature colors as opposed to accents, along with other tweaks and improvements. But, I think it's implemented enough to start showing to a wider audience!

We're trying to standardize options as much as possible so that picking a style depends on aesthetics/layout rather than on customization features (it would be a shame to find a style you like only to discover you can't use it because it's lacking a certain feature)
Styles allowing placement in the header are actually the exception. :)

Ah, that's awesome! I never changed layouts on LJ because most of them had differences to which I couldn't adapt (like avatars swapping sides); it is sooo cooool to find out I can change layouts here and still have stuff where I like it to be. :3
