   Just as one datum, the current flavor of the day doesn’t have the ‘recent comments’ panel, and that makes me sad, because I use that feature a lot.

   Ditto david. I like the banner up top, but I’m generally agin’ change, and had gotten used to the old layout. But I’ll keep hitting refresh.

      had gotten used to the old layout

      As nearly as I could tell, Rubric (the old theme) was the least butt-ugly flexible-width theme WordPress had. I’m not entirely convinced this one (Fusion) is better… but it is different, which, as we all know, is better. Right?

      More fiddling is in order. Let me know if anything’s missing or weirdly present; my admin-mode view can be quite different than yours.

      Sigh…

   Gah! The comment area looks all macintoshy. Gimme the old Leer Siegler ADM-3A any day.

   So I realize this is probably way beyond your ability or motivation to care, but the new theme sets all your text as dark-gray-on-black on PocketPC / WinCE / Pocket IE. Which is kind of annoying, although not impossible to cope with…

   (the ‘mobile view’ is “fine” but useless to me since it lacks the aforesaid recent-comments panel….)

      It may be beyond my ability, but not my motivation…

      text as dark-gray-on-black

      Now that’s a showstopper, for sure! I hate dark themes and reverse text, so that’s not something I’m in favor of.

      Let me run this past the usually cooperative WordPress helpdesk and see if something shakes loose.

      I just turned off the “show mobile theme” setting, so you’ll be forced to put up with the full-up layout and folks on “older mobile phones” won’t see anything at all.

      Let me know if that’s even more of a disaster…

   Well, disabling the mobile theme doesn’t hurt any, but it doesn’t help either, FYI.

      There’s a definite tension between all the gimcrackery that makes sense on a big screen and efficient use of the piddly pixels on a hand-held device; looks like they made the cut on the wrong end for what you’re doing.

      I’ll re-enable it, which may help somebody else.

      Sorry ’bout that…
