Hello, I've been working on a custom igoogle theme for a couple of
days. I know css a little bit, enough to get me by most of the time,
but anyways, I designed a almost complete theme, but in FF and IE, i
get a few different problems.

Problems in FF2:
* If gadgets are displaying long content, the module 'window' breaks
in 2.
* The ddbox down arrow on the tabs is too far down (probably because I
positioned it to fit in the modules.
Other than that, things in FF behave quite well.

Problems in IE7:
Well, IE Just completely disregards most of the css as far as
positioning and stuff goes. You'll just have to see for yourself. :(

the url to my custom theme is:

http://theunderdawgs.net/igoogle/igoogle.css

Let me know if you need anything else (like screen shots, etc.), any
help is appreciated.

Also, if you think I should add anything else to the theme, I'll give
it a shot :)

WOW. That looks amazing! As far I know IE *just doesn't do* CSS.
Everything I have written CSS-wide for IE has just been a nightmare
and I can't really offer an guidance on in. There are resources and
workarounds on the web so I'm afraid to say you'll just have to do
your best to hack it up together.

As a guideline, there are many more FF users of the skins gadget then
IE so I would certainly focus in this area first.

Sorry I can't really be of more help. Maybe someone else round here
can help. Don't forget to submit it for publishing when you are ready!

All the best,

-Greg
