Just felt like posting this.

Only two people on my Friend's list have unique colors for their listings on my friend page. Oddly enough, it's two people who I don't know in real life.

So why do they have custom colors?

Well, basically, they seemed really really cool when I added them (actually, they still do, but that's beside the point) and they had really cool layouts on their journal. Sure one of them is just some modification of Disjointed, but it looks really cool with the colors and the pictures and whatnot.

I chose colors to sorta match their journal layouts.

Yeah, I know, random.

I should reallyh spice up my journal GUI. I just have one of the stock ones. I haven't taken the time to figure out how to really customize it ;)

I have way too much fun with mine... as evidenced by the fact that I've made at least 5 of my own styles. :-p

Took me forever to figure it out, though. Once I did figure it out it became way too easy to do while at work....

actually, mine don't match anymore.
this journal used to be primarily red and black...thus the red/gray theme on the friends page.
you can tell how long some people have been on my list, cuz around the 200 mark i quit bothering to customize them anymore.

I actually used to be really really scared of people's journals who had like 300+ friends... I'm slowly turning into one... o_O

oh--i misunderstood.
um...nevermind.
however, yes--it is just a derivative of disjointed,
for my HTML skillz are next to nothing.

*grin*

Hehe. I really like the way your journal looks. I hate disjointed, as a rule, because I think it's horrible looking. But it looks really really good with the way you customized it. :)

At one point I wasn't customizing friend colors, and then I went in one day and decided "Ok, people I'm really good friends with or am friends with in real life will get this... people i went to college with get this... people in Fourth Wall get this... people that were in Via Sanguinius get this... communities get this... random people get this..."

Now I want to re-do it again...
