Oh sweet fuck, tell me this is a joke

*looking at the "new and improved" archive skin in horror*

Gray! The background is GRAY!

And the "this is one of your own things" background is PINK!

*horrified beyond words*

ETA: A Quick Fix Skin I ran up is available here until it actually goes public.

GRR ARGH. 75% of what I'm putting into the skin requires bloody important tags!

On the plus side, I have managed to:
*get date posted, authors, and titles on works in a large font (I skim by date posted first on the rarely-posted fandoms I follow)
*get relationships to stand-out (skimming to avoid pairings/characters I don't like)
*turn all the FRICKIN' red to purple
*get rid of the logo and my icon in the header
*put commas back into the tag lists
*PUT SOME BLOODY SPACING BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS OH MY GOD WHY ARE THEY SO CLOSE TOGETHER
*narrow margins on works so the lines are only 75% of the screen
*get rid of all those drop-shadow 2.0 nonsense things

Next up, figuring out how to align all my header nav buttons to the left where they belong AND shrinking that stupid footer, seriously why is it 800 feet high. I'm aggravated that my filters have somehow ended up on the bottom of the page, instead of a sidebar, but I only ever use them to remove non-English fics from the list (I mean, YAYYYYYYY for multiple languages on the Archive, but I can't read them so I don't personally need them in the list), so it's not AS big an issue.

Of course, nothing I do whatsoever makes the site usable on my iPod. Glad that wasn't my primary fic-reading device or anything. *headdeskheaddesk*
