Some experimentation
The background images of the Relaxation theme I was using earlier had the annoying property of being rendered later than the text, which annoyed be. I don’t think the load times were bad at all, but it just looked bad when loading, to me anyway. So I’ve just been doing some experimentation with background-image-less themes, and while I was at it looked for liquid themes (i.e., those with non-fixed-width CSS styles, so it resized based on the size of the “viewer port” (browser window) and wasn’t mean to those with really large or small screen resolutions). You’re looking at the Steam theme (with some significant modifications). Anyone with any gripes about the theme (especially colors or font styles — I have horrible sense), let me know.
