This is probably the hardest I’ve ever worked on a WordPress theme so far. I’m sure there are a few bugs, but I went out of my way to make sure as much was themed properly as I could. The search results, archives, pages, are all themed appropriately.
The hardest part was actually the search box in the upper right. Not functionally, but I hadn’t realized that all the browsers render form elements so differently. If you you say a text input has a height of 18, Firefox will make it 20. And all the browsers render the “Search” button text at a different height within its space. I wonder if this is included in the Acid 2 or Acid 3? Anyway, I finally got it to be effectively the same on all browsers.
Then IE7, of course, doesn’t wrap floats as well as all the other browsers so I had to write code to insert a structural break between the rows of post thumbnails below and on the archive pages. But that wasn’t a huge deal.
And I love having the big area so I can display photos in large format and very clearly. Although most of my photos won’t be of dogs, I think it’s appropriate to celebrate the theme.
