Warning! This layout is currently being edited to fix some problems caused by the new dA userpages.

I've seen a lot of CSS layouts here on dA, some good and others not so good, but I haven't seen a lot of utterly simplistic dA colorscheme layouts. That's where I come in. It's not the best design out there, but it was what I had wanted for my own journal.

Be sure to go over the readme before attempting to apply the CSS to a journal.

Thanks so much for all the usage and ! I really appreciate it. I never thought Simple + Clean would be so popular.

Features:

• Minimalist design to compliment the dA layout
  
• Scroll box to contain images (if desired)
  
• Right-hand Links sidebar
  
• Two main header styles
  
• An additional smaller header that can be used more or less like a caption
  
• Only one graphical element (could be good or bad, depending on one's preference)
  
• Many of the elements are moderately easy to customize (link colors, etc.)

Mood Box:
Make the Mood Box visible by removing "display: none;" from .list { }. The new code allows it to be placed either at the top or bottom of the journal. Nothing fancy here, but at least it's not all fugly like before.

Columns:
Be sure to have more content in the main (left) column. Otherwise, the links will spill into the sections below. This was fixed in later Simple + Clean versions by using a different CSS method.

Argh. I think dA didn't recognize the new ZIP file I uploaded (not the first time the phenomenon has occurred). Should be the correct version now.

8-24-07:

• Removed "Journal Entry" text leaving date still visible.
  
• Fixed code so that the "Journal Entry" text will not display in IE (displays as 1px text).
  
• Added correct Mood Box code so that it will not be visible by default.
  
• Fixed Mood Box code so that it displays correctly when visible.
  
• The new headers are now .header1 (old header), .header2 (same as .header1, but in small-caps) and .header3 (centered small text header with expanded font).
  
• Scooted the "No Comments/Prev. Journal" links over to align with the rest of the journal layout.

After some careful consideration on the Creative Commons License, I have removed the Share Alike attribution. I think the general Non-Commercial license works best for everyone.

Origin:
Simple + Clean's name originates from Kingdom Heart's main theme, Simple and Clean (the English version of Hikari) by Utada Hikaru.
