More new styles

I'm still changing my style every time there's a code push, but I'm getting closer to something I like out of the box. The rounded corners on that last one, Fluid Measure (Wooded Theme), were nice, but once I increased the sidebar width so that feed names would fit, the entry boxes were not quite as wide as I like them, and I prefer text to icons for link, reply etc. Also, now I can have icons on the left again!
Now I'm using Crossroads (Descending Blue theme). I've picked Two Columns Sidebar Left, increased the sidebar, and put the modules back in the order I prefer (one day they won't get lost every time I change style). Usually I also change the link colours, but these might work as they are. (Wanted: a colour for visited links that isn't a shade of grey, but doesn't clash with these blues, and is easier to read against the off-white background while still being clearly different from the basic link colour.)
The other thing I have done is add custom CSS:
.entry .footer, .entry .tag, .comment .footer { background-color: #ebeef4; }
so that the metadata and action links are on a slightly different background. Some of the Crossroads themes already do that, and I don't know how, because I can't find it in the wizard; but I don't want to pick one of them and lose what I've done with this one.
