Typo Theme #1

I'm not always the best at budgeting my time, and so, the night before the final deadline for the Typo theme contest, I'm not sure if I'll finish the CSS for my second theme.

But I have finished the CSS for my first theme, Indiestripes. I hope you like it. It comes in three flavors, as it were: Seattle (a muted brown, teal, and grey color scheme), Fruit Salad (bright pink and orange), and Beach House (bright turquoise and green).

I haven't just themed the layout and then changed a couple colors and left the rest as-is. I tried to create a very consistent overall feel, right down to the typography and especially the comment area. I've overriden a number of partials, including the display of comments and the comment form itself. You can see full-size screenshots of Seattle here (main part of the page) and here (comments and comment form).

If you're interested in downloading Indiestripes, you can grab the zip file here. (For the full effect, you'll need Typo 2.6.0.)
