UTTER NONSENSE:
just added a settings file that will allow a default theme to be easily set, rather than defaulting to the “mars surface” theme. also made the drop-down theme selector pre-select to whatever the current theme is, even if no cookie is set (thanks to the default setting).
now i will take scenequeen‘s suggestion and try to fix how the “donate” and “valid XHTML” things scroll up past the menu in Mozilla and browsers that abide by the position:fixed style rule. unfortunately, MSIE tends to get confused and screw everything up horribly, which is why i initially abandoned trying to make it nicer.
translation:
primary style, or look, of the site is settable by the site owner/webmaster. this is the default “theme” that people see BEFORE making a selection from the drop-down box. the first time you go to a mars site, it will look like [whatever the default theme is].
whatever the current theme is, that’s the one that is first shown in the drop-down box, BEFORE opening it up to see the rest of the possible selections. usually, it just defaults to the very first selection. now it will be whatever has been previously set by the user, or failing that, whatever has been set by the webmaster.
in certain browsers, the navigation menu stays fixed in place, IRREGARDLESS OF SCROLLING UP OR DOWN THE PAGE. anything below it might just scroll up over top the damn thing. so i want to fix those in place, too, so it doesn’t overlap and look all nasty.
