oriental theme

the new theme “oriental” has an unique look but i can not set it as a default theme due its horrid navigation support. i could have used the normal vertical scrollbar but that would destroy the layout. so i used this scrolling script. it saves the layout but the theme lost major part of its navigation control. at least it’s okay to look at. next time hopefully i can come up with something pretty to look at and practical to use.

never mind, i changed the scrolling script to the one from ghtml.com and i think it’s a lot better. so i’m gonna use it as the default theme for a while XP.

btw, is it just me or is pure essence extremely slow lately?!

Yeah it has been loading slow for me lately. I love this layout! It’s great! It took me a bit to realize how the scrollbar worked though, hehe. I had to read the ghtml page to figure it out. I thought it was one of those hover over the flowers to move up or down things at first.

It’s a really nice theme! Your site is a bit slow, and I had a problem replying to the post because it didn’t load completely.

If tomorrow you replace the background image by a graceful Chinese woman, it might be better !

dodo, do you know that when you click on mistress, it opens in a new window? however, the rest of the links are working right.

But yeah, its a bit slow, but its okay, This layout is pretty nice, but i prefer the old one, I didn’t really see that one for very long, because have been busy, but i think only seen it like 3 times before you put up this new one. The flower scroll bar is innovative, but I can’t say that I’m a fan of scroll bars like this, especially on a slow comp, it basically slows the scrolling SOOo much.

Beautiful template but I notice that in all browsers one of the background images fails to load correctly (at the top). On refresh it adjusts but at first load it is faulty. Any ideas?
