I have a Dream...

theweaselking...width account. I've had one since January 2009.
But I don't use it for two reasons.
#1: S2 is hideous and unwieldy and completely craptacular. I do not know how to make a working non-shitty Style in S2.
#2: Other people's esthetic decisions are HIDEOUS. And lacking an acceptable Style of my own, converting my current "append ?style=mine to all livejournal pages" script to affect Dreamwidth is pointless.
Hook me up, lazyweb.
I need an S2 style that:
1) has "next 50/last 50" links at top AND BOTTOM of the page. Next/Last 100, 250, or 5000, or, best yet, CHOOSABLE BY ME links are preferred.
2) has NO SIDEBARS EVER. Posts, both mine and Friends, should be the full width of the page.
3) provides a "link" that is a permalink to the post beside every post.
4) In fact, Reading List/My Journal should look like this. Top links, big "date" bar when days swap, reasonably big date/poster/icon/permalink block per post, post contents to the right of that at a fixed width,, "comment on this post" link to the bottom (or top!) left of the content. Continue in the colours of my choice, overriding the journal choices of other people, distinguishable for public/friendslocked by colour.
5) Individual posts should look something like my individual posts. I don't REALLY care for my current single-LJ-post style, but it gives me My Post, then comments, in order, threaded by response, using editable-by-me colours.
From there, I will edit my Firefox scripts such that I NEVER HAVE TO LOOK AT YOUR INCOMPETENT UNREADABLE SHIT STYLES EVER AGAIN. Because, fundamentally, other people's esthetic decisions are hideous.
Should I stick a bounty on this? I will pay real-world real-life money for these features. Not MUCH money, because this is a toy, but certainly at least a month's paid account, LJ or DW.
(For the record, your solution should either work on both, or DW-only, to earn the prize. Alternately, it should work for Wordpress or a similar blogging platform and parse the LJ-friends list, so I can install THAT, keep my LJ-friends as RSS reader, and post to there without dealing with OTHER PEOPLE'S UNBELIEVABLY BAD AND UNREADABLE FONT/COLOUR/LAYOUT CHOICES. Sheesh!)
