Description:

Midnight Coal is a variation of Green Fresh, in many colors and with several variations. The default variation is for blogs and works on all screen widths from 1024 pixels and up. It's iPhone compatible and fixed to 950px wide so that your layouts are predictable. The wide variation is ideal when you need all the screen space you can get for your project. It grabs 90% of the screen width, up to 1200 pixels wide.

Features:

• iPhone compatible
• Fixed to 950px wide so that your layouts are predictable
• Includes wide variation that uses 90% of screen width
• Supports hover popups (tooltips)
• Available in multiple color shades

To make hover popups around images or text, use this syntax: Image or linkHover text. See an example and the original HowTo.

can you hook me up with a wide version of midnight coal that has black links instead of blue and change the header so that it doesnt have the text be all lowercase and italicized? thx

nvm bro, figured it myself; the complexity intimidated me, but I used common sense and messed with some variables and then I used google to find the right ones to do what I want. thx for the template!

Not really; maybe a link to here, and some tips to try think in "reverse", like in engineering, and to not be afraid to use the old trial and error method.

A very basic, but modern and versatile feel.
