Facebook Theme

Today I've started working on a style heavily inspired by Facebook Developers and bits 'n pieces of Facebook groups. It's based on Vanilla's default style. This is what I have so far:

I guess it'll take me a couple of days to finish it. Hope you'll like it ;]
Oh! And it's codename is VanFacebook.

    My intention was to make a style out of it, but not everything I wanted to do was achievable only with CSS. So this is going to be a theme. I've done only some minor changes to the default theme so there shouldn't be any problems regarding the functionality of extensions.

    Awesome! This is a great theme really showcasing Vanilla's versatility. Any chance of adding color variations as well? Does it use any proprietary fonts?

    you could prabably edit it your self, if you wanted to add colors and stuff, cuz i think the theme is meant to be like that , (simple looking) very nice

    Great job. Very much like Facebook's interface. Hopefully, they won't get too uptight about you basing a style of their's and come for you.

    I think it looks great, and somehow far nicer than Facebook's layout, nice one!

    Well, unless you just downloaded the images and renamed the CSS to match Vanilla's (blatant copying), I think it'll be alright... Might want to take a look at FB's copyrights though.

    It's almost finished. I encourage you to test it at dkdev.pl/vanilla/. Please note that I've tested it only on Firefox and now I'm starting to apply fixes for other browsers. Nevertheless, I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions.

    looks nice! good job! comments & suggestions: - play with a couple of users with different username length, may be you see more issues then - in the discussion list, there isn't the "new" section, to say how many new comments are in the discussion? - in the comments page, play also with user icons, the "administrator" gets cut by the comment header - the code text could be wrapped? - in the account page, the discussions started field in the user information area falls of the line and that's all, take it as a constructive comment, because for the rest of the style it just looks great ;)

    The information about new comments in a discussion will appear when you apply for membership.

    As I wrote before, it's almost finished :D and there might be huge display problems in browsers other than Fx. It'd be really helpful if you could tell me which browser you're using and show a screenshot.

    Oh, and I haven't played with CSS regarding code, blockquote, ul, ol etc., yet. There still are a few things that I'm aware of and need to be fixed, but those are minor problems and I thought the theme is ready for a debut and some beta testing.

    can you make the people.css look like the rest of the theme as well?
