PlainStyles by TickleTheory

Another dark (but not too dark) alternative to my lighter floral themes. I've gone back to using Plain Tabula Rasa as a base theme because it's still the lightest among all that I've tried. This is also the most lightweight among the 4 floral themes.

Huhuhu. Can't wait for the meta viewport tag fix in the future.

Custom CSS

Copy-paste this CSS to the 'Use embedded CSS' box here.

Keep "Use layout's stylesheets" ticked. This is needed for to make the layout responsive in mobile devices so until Dreamwidth pushes a fix for this, I need to keep this on.
