One of the best contemporary Christmas movies has to be A Christmas Story. There's just something about following poor Ralphie as he tries to convince his parents, teacher, and Santa Claus that a Red Ryder air rifle would be the perfect gift. When this movie makes it's annual appearance on television it signifies the beginning of the Christmas season.
I developed this theme to pay tribute to the movie and it has a few interesting features that you might find helpful.
Some of the more interesting features include the use of a red and a green Christmas ornament icons to identify new Plurk messages and replies.
An unread message shows an green ornament with red numbers while a read message will show a red ornament and green numbers. This is slightly different than the typical colored box that you see.
For those who don't want to see their Karma score, I have replaced it with three wrapped presents.
The loading graphic in the timeline has been replaced with a graphic of Santa's sleigh and his bag of toys. This will appear whenever you scroll through your timeline left or right. There is also a new loading graphic in the response box. This one is Santa Clause dancing in a small animation.
The scroll left and right arrows have also been replaced with Rudolph. When you hover over him with your mouse he points with his leg. The "Back to Home" blue button has been replaced with the Abominable Snowman. When you hover over him with your mouse he puts a star on top of the Christmas tree.
The Plurk creature has been removed and replaced with Alvin and the Chipmunks.
I think you will find this theme fairly full-function with a lot of detail added. If you have questions please feel free to contact me. I hope you enjoy this theme and be sure to tell everyone you got it from Plurk Skins.
Update: This theme has been updated to reflect the changes made to Plurk through January 13, 2009.
