New template and syntax highlighter

Posted by Mike Haller on Sunday, March 8. 2009 at 15:51
I used the "Kubrick" style as the previous design template for this blog. It was nice to read but had a drawback: it was too narrow and thus often source code was scrambled due to line breaks. I replaced the template now with one called zenlike. I think its width is large enough and code snippets should look much better.


The new site looks also fine on the iPhone:



I also replaced the Geshi syntax highlighter with dp.SyntaxHighlighter 2.0, which produces very nice source code highlighting for code snippets. The only entry currently using the new highlighter is Extending SQuirreL with plugins.



I need to change the tags from
[geshi lang=java]
// java snippet
[/geshi]

to:

<pre name="code" class="java">
// java snippet
</pre>
