I've always loved the background in Motion.

Hee, yeah I am pretty sure I picked up this project on your rec... a long time ago.

Really nice layout! Will add this to memories for later use. (:

Gorgeous!

How much work does it take you to adapt themes from WordPress versions? Is it a matter of a few simple tweaks, or do you really have to dig through the code?

[syntheid]

The main section was surprisingly quick, from what I remember (I did that... ages ago), since it's mostly a matter of figuring out which block matches up with the original block of CSS code.

Once you get that done, you do have to go back and make sure all the DW-specific elements are styled appropriately (mostly like, entry/comment interaction links and metadata in this case) and clear out what wasn't used, which on this one it took me about six hours today? I didn't think it was that involved, not compared to the 40+ hours I've spent on the one layout I've been developing from scratch. But uh, I'm not sure if I'm not just. Especially slow, either, so take that as you will, heh.

This is lovely and it looks like a very good port! Gonna try it out :) I notice it hasn't been tested in Safari and I mostly use Safari and iPad Safari; will I let you know if I find problems?
