Yes. Well, you could leave it, but it would look silly. I've got them both saved in a text document for the time being so I can swap them out if I scrounge up something to fix the module issue with the first header.
Tried it, didn't like it, went back to the first one. :)

Yes, though I was feeling like everything rounded made some elements look weird, which is why I took it out.
Well, I'll see how it works. And I have now studied my LJ style in more detail than I ever have before. If I could move the link bar up above the journal title... But then I don't know if it'd be possible to have a separate bar, all the way across. MUCH COMPLICATED. ETA: Although could the links be centered? Is that easy? Have I already asked this? Do I even want that??? /o\ Ignore me.

I've been trying to figure out how to specify the background/outer rectangles so I can do things with them (like push down the sidebar, or round their corners without rounding everything), and I can't figure out what they're called.
Could also be this style. There are SO MANY MORE different parts. Changing the colours on LJ takes minutes. Here, I had to work out what all the different things were.

I'll let you know if anything's above my pay grade ; ) Like--I'll warn you that I don't think getting the icons outside the text boxes is happening. At least not anytime soon.
Oh I didn't think so. It seems a much more inherent issue than just tweaking stuff. So don't worry.
