Change the colors
There have been some posts on how to import custom styles over, but that's too complicated/technical for me. Just changing the colors from the black/white/gray is all I wanted to do! I finally stumbled across the method for how to do this, so I thought I'd come here and share:
First go to your LJ (or elsewhere, but these instructions are for LJ): Click on "Journal" then "Customize Journal Style". Click on "Style", then you should see all the various colors (and the official computer-speak letters/numbers that tell the computer exactly what color is what).
Now from your DW home page (a new tab makes it easier), Click on "Organize", then "Customize Style". Click on "Style" on the left-side bar menu.
Now you can take whatever colors you love from your LJ layout and put them into DW!
When you click on Save Changes, the page doesn't go away or anything. This lets you click on save changes (to apply the changes you just made), then open a new tab to view your journal or reading circle to see how it looks.
ETA: This works for the default Negatives style/theme... not sure if/how it works for other styles.
