Dec. 5th, 2008 01:57 pmLast night, I saw an annoumemt on [Unknown site tag] - a new style called minimalism. I'm all about that, so I thought I'd try it out. They even had one with a color scheme not too different from the one I was already using. As I was playing with it, I noticed that the subject lines were all links. I thought, "Cool! This is useful!" Given that I chose the old scheme, in part, because it had a link button attached to each post, I thought it was a great idea. Not very attractive, but still. Useful.
And then I saw someone on my friends list complain that all her subject lines had changed and - oh. It's not the style. Huh. It's LJ-wide.
Around that point, I decided I didn't like the new theme anyway, and went back to the old one. It's comfortable and works, and I don't really need a tag-cloud.
And, probably because the link button is already there, the subject lines weren't changed like everyone else's. Which means that if I hadn't seen someone complain, I'd not have known anything at all. (This style has this function unnecessary in that one. Okay. Intersesting to know.)
