Blur Glass

Another interesting image I found somewhere. Clearly this is based on the Red Flower layout, just changed around (colours, image, etc.).
I changed the size of the image so that it would look decent on both 800x600 and 1024x768. I thought about adding some sort of cheesy philosophical quote, but I didn't want to wreck the image for those of you who want to use it sans quotation.
Although you're all lucky because I returned to browser safe colours for this layout. The background colour is #006666 and the border, links, and font are #003333. I know, you can barely contain yourself with excitement.
This is called "Blur Glass" for no reason other than it looked like blurry glass to me. I was just going to call it "Blur" but I already had another layout that I abandoned ages ago called "Blur" so I couldn't call it the same thing. Clearly, this is idle chatter for the purposes of showing you how this thing scrolls when you write a long enough entry.
Oh, you know what's neat? I've deisigned this so that the scroll bars are as inconspicuous as possible. The one for the main page has a face and track that are the same colour as the background so that it blends in better. But the scroll on the entry section is the reverse, white face and track with teal highlights, so that it blends better with the entry background. Neato, eh? It's easy enough to do, I just haven't thought of it until this very moment.
