I am having angst about journal styles. Which is ridiculous because there are only three to choose from. My current feeling is this:
1. Negative black is nice, but a bit... yeah, black. It tends to be what I use.
2. Zesty white is also nice, and feels a lot more spacious, but it's a bit... white!
3. Transmogrified - I quite like the layout but it won't display my subtitle and I hate-hate-hate the colour scheme. (Orange. Ugh!) And I look at the colour customization page and go, OMG FLAIL. It's so hard!
I know it should not be hard to change a few damn colours... but I have to choose what they should BE and I can't find any combinations that I like! Have tried focusing more on pinks and purples and blues but nothing works. It just feels like too much work!
I am not really looking for anything here, just - meep! I realize this is me whining about unimportant stuff, I do. But. Oh, I dunno. The style I use on LJ is not open source. Sigh!

There was another site like that I used to use all the time, and now I can't find it--but these are pretty close.
Also, I kept mine really simple--I'm using Transmogrified, but I just picked three colors: One for all backgrounds and borders (the boxes bug me), one for text and headers, and one for links. If you like the boxes, you can add the borders back in, but then you have only four colors to find.
Also, also--if you choose All Styles, there's one called Core2 that's the base style or something--that one may meet what you want better, though you'll still have to pick colors.

And now I have a colour scheme that I quite like! I may mess around with Core2 and maybe try out different palettes but those links were SO USEFUL for the visual-arts-challenged like myself.
Thank you! :D
