Anything or more and less

I had a funny little problem with my StatusNet instance which was that I was unable to change the theme of the page. What ever theme I selected in the config file, I always got the default neo theme in the browser. I should have read the logs more carefully, as is was written there…

During my upgrade from version 0.9.7 to 1.0 one piece from the old config remained there that was not overwritten by the setting in config.php. Obviously the theme setting¹—and StatusNet kept looking for the cleaner theme I used with 0.9.7 which wasn’t there anymore so as fall-back it used neo.

I was reading @sazius article Setting up my personal StatusNet instance finding, among others things, the filter setting for the logs.

Now, being able to change the theme I played through the available ones (those coming with SN and the neo-kafai theme by Ryan Weal) it was nothing there for my taste. My taste is something against the gray outside, that is supposed to be called winter.

The result is something that I call neo-sand with the yellow of my smily-logo in the background and something sandy as background for the rest. Except the default font, everything else stayed the same as in the neo-kafai theme.

Have fun with it
