WordPress Sandbox Theme Problems [en]

[fr] Deux problèmes avec Sandbox: les menus déroulants qui se déroulent décalés sur la droite dans IE, et l'absence de feuille de style pour l'impression. Toute aide bienvenue.

As you might have seen, Sandbox is now my theme of choice for WordPress. Diurnal, here on CTTS, is built upon Sandbox, and I’m using it with a client to build a new design from scratch. It’s a nice base to work from, in a CSS Zen Garden way.

However, there are problems. Here are two I’m stuck with on my client site. I posted them to the Sandbox forums, but I thought I’d mention them here in case one of you smart readers had an answer.

  1. No print stylesheet?: does anybody have a print stylesheet handy for use with Sandbox? If I can avoid writing one from scratch…
  2. Broken drop-down menus in IE: I’m far from a drop-down menu specialist, so I’m not sure where to start to fix the IE wonkiness I’ve noticed. The menus in IE do not drop right below the parent menu as shown here, but overlap on the neighbouring menu item on the right.

Thanks for any help or pointers you can bring me.

I found some nice bunnywabbit illustrations, by Bruno Bellamy. Here they are!

Pretty pretty. Bruno Bellamy not only draws pretty girls, he even has a couple of bunnywabbit ones.

As Bellamy has a sensible reproduction policy for somebody who publishes his art on the web, I’m happy to show you the two bunnies which caught my attention.

This first one is just a sketch, but I really like the hair and the carrot. The next one is in colour — maybe I should consider changing my pink layout to blue?

Bellamy allows personal website owners to reproduce a few of his pictures on their sites, under certain conditions. He has now added a new one: he does not want his pictures used on sites which brag “optimised for Internet Explorer”

Well… what did you think a bunnywabbit looked like?

Thanks to Tristan for pointing out this artist to me!
