The Travel Theme

kew — Sun, 29 May 2011 12:36:58 +0000

Its been long overdue for a blog makeover. The last time I install a new theme was back in Autumn 2008 and between then an now, there was just some face-lift. When I came across this free theme, it just screams out to me. In the last two years, there were only a handful of post, it became so little that one should be thinking of wrapping things up with blogging. The thought of shutting this site down have not cross my mind. When I started with this, it was for fun, as a hobby, self loathing and most of all, with the intention to keep this going till the day I kick the bucket. This still hasn’t change and hopefully with this theme change, it would trigger the little spark inside me to pen down some thoughts that have been urging to get out.

New Header: The Traveling Tree

vladstudio over at deviantART released a new wallpaper titled “The Traveling Tree”. This new header brings a refreshing green and blue to the blog design. As I have been itching to change the entire blog design, I have yet to find inspiration. The Travelling Tree brings a new breath and helps to brighten the blog design and helps to fill the gap while I search for a fresh look.

Smooth your XP font with GDI++

Ok, this nifty has been around for many many years, and bless me, I now only got to find out about it. This is a dll file that smooth your Windows XP font to look more like Vista or Mac. It actually bolds it a little and makes it more rounded compare to the thin and skinny looking font of the default XP. Below is a comparison of how my XP font rendering looks like with and without GDI++. At both times, I already have my true type turn on. The application has been discontinued and may be a little buggy. I have no problems using it so far.

New Header for the Summer

kew — Sat, 02 May 2009 14:06:45 +0000

I have been wanting to change my blog theme, but as usual, lack of creativity and urge to revamp the entire design. So I settle for a header change. After browsing around at deviantart.com, I came across Votre Sante by jplacson. It was warm (in color) and has a nice sleepy tone to it, kinda reflecting how my blog have been recently. I crop it and whola, a new header.

RETROFUKATION Visual Styles

kew — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:36:43 +0000

JG Visuals have came up with a set of pretty neat looking visual styles. There were 3 color schemes named differently and the finishing was rather detailed with options of light or dark backgrounds and the title/top bar look. The slim version was awesome, though I could not get used to it… its still pretty neat. This is a keeper and worth a try.

New Theme for Autumn 2008

kew — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:18:21 +0000

As usual, I was craving for a new theme and found this nice little theme from Teresa Jones named Night Whimsy. It has the basic layout that I like. Deviant the header, font and font colors. Behold the new theme for this Autumn, named Autumn 2008, for the lack of creativity in names. The header picture on the other hand was deviated from Andras Toth’s Autumn Colors. Both Teresa and Andras are masters in their skills. Teresa has a great portfolio of WordPress Themes. You will know what I meant when you step into her Theme page. Andras has a great collection of photos, and Autumn Colors was just one of his great photographs. The page feature of wordpress has been broken for some time, and it still persist. On top of this, I hope to make some changes to the bacground, so that it is not just a plain grey. I see a little tweak here and there in the near future, but first, need to get the page feature to work. So that this deviated work can be credited accordingly.
