Regarding my questions surrounding Internet Relay Chat: narvi revealed that "TheOneRing.net is currently using Unreal3.2-RC1. I think you can always find the version of the ircd by typing /info while connected to the server. Hopefully it'll return the version, date, authors, etc. [This] Might change from one server to another, I suppose."

Regarding my questions on style customization overrides for the S1 version of Refried Paper:

First, I was fortunate to get in touch with idigital, who created the LiveJournal version of this style. He pointed me to an article on customization of Refried Paper (v1.x for LJ S1).

Second, I consulted deire and narvi, who are really good at color design. (Thanks to you both!) The other obvious expert, jereeza, was uploading her excellent photos from the Oscars and The Return of The One Party, and perhaps recovering from jet lag.

Here's what I came up with (blue on my own; green with deire's help; red with hers, narvi's, and dragnflye's):


Blue

GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--

/* main journal title - lunar blue (#3366FF) */
td.title {
background-color: #3366FF;
color: white;
}

/* date, subject, and currents */
.body table, .body table td {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

/* navigation section subheadings - medium blue (#6699FF) */
.subhead {
background: #6699FF;
width: 100%;
}

/* navigation section - pale blue (#BBDDFF) */
.links {
background-color: #BBDDFF;
}

-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD


Green

GLOBAL_HEAD>=
<style type="text/css">
<!--

/* main journal title - forest green (#009900) */
td.title {
background-color: #009900;
color: white;
}

/* date, subject, and currents */
.body table, .body table td {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

/* navigation section subheadings - medium green (#66CC44) */
.subhead {
background: #66CC44;
width: 100%;
}

/* navigation section - light spring green (#CCFFAA) */
.links {
background-color: #CCFFAA;
}

-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD>


Red

GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--

/* main journal title - dark red (#993333) */
td.title {
background-color: #993333;
color: white;
}

/* date, subject, and currents */
.body table, .body table td {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

/* navigation section subheadings - medium red (#CC0033) */
.subhead {
background: #CC0033;
width: 100%;
}

/* navigation section - pale tan (#FFEEDD) */
.links {
background-color: #FFEEDD;
}

-->
</style>
