I love your layouts. I've been looking through them but can't seem to find what I want. I actually can't find what I want anywhere. Do you take requests?

Not a particular header, no. But if you need one I could always have it made from someone else. I'm wanting something Nightmare Before Christmas themed. I've looked at so many different communities for a layout that I would like and none of them fit everything I want.

I want the user pics to still be shown along with the emotion mood things. I also want it to revolve around Jack not Jack AND Sally. I like dark colors and a morbid theme.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in doing, just let me know. I would be thrilled! I will find someone to make me a header if you like as well, just let me know.

Thanks!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Yeah just let me know if you can't find it and I'll look for something. I really appreciate you willing to look into it for me.

:D:D

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

I also think I prefer the header banner that you have in the preview. I love the little flickering light.

I don't have my journal friends only but I will definitely use the banners you made if I do ever go that way. The icon is perfect as well.

The only thing I wonder if you could change, I got he idea from the friends banner with "scare to be added"...

Where people comment on the entries, could the wording be changed from "leave a comment" to "let out a scream" and "# comments" to "# screams"

The text at the top as well for the example Layout Lounge, Recent Entries etc (I know thats mainly because its your journal) but could I have those changed as well to match the theme? I'm not sure what they should be though.

I also don't know if these things are things I have to change myself because they may be. I know that when I applied the theme I have now I had to go in and change some of those, so it may just be I have to change them once it is applied.

I don't think I need the page summary, if that could be removed. I do want a little blurb or blob on the side so I can welcome people to the journal.

I can't see if the mood theme works since you don't have any on the entries, but I wanted to make sure they were there as well.

I hope I don't sound bad by asking all this!

Thank you so much though, I really do love it.

...Is is possible that I can save all the headers and switch them in and out on the layout?

Also, would it be possible to incorporate the background into the rest of it a bit more?

I mean like instead of the line under links you could have a strip that is like the background. I remember seeing a similar request when I was looking through your layouts and comments but I can't remember which one to show you exactly what I mean.

Hmm, perhaps I read things wrong. It could also be that I've looked on so many different communities that I am confusing them now.

AHA! I found the layout that made me think of it. Here (http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp157/scholarslayouts/wedding/preview.jpg)

I want something similar but not exactly the same. I don't want it on the comments. I took a screen shot to show you what I mean. You can see it here (http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww256/bouncytime20/NBC.jpg).

You were right. It wasn't the line underneath it was the entire word. So hopefully that explains it a bit better. :D

Also, like in the preview, is it possible to put the default icon on the sidebar or is that another one of those customizations I can do?

Thank you for the link for figuring all that stuff out! You've been a real help and you explain things very well.

Once I have the layout up and running I'm going to do a post that shows the friends only banners because even though I won't be using them right away I want others to be able to see them. From that post I will be letting everyone know, as well as my profile, who made them and the layout and leaving links to your graphics comm and here so they might be able to request from you as well. :)

Which reminds me, do you have a specific way you want to be credited in the profile?

I love it. I don't think there is anything else that needs to be changed about it.

Awesome. I do know a bit more about the mood themes. I had to put my Harry Potter one on and it took FOREVER soooo many emotions. There more emotions on that list then I think I actually feel in a year!

Thank you so much again. After I get everything settled I'll be doing the post that points people in the right direction to you. I'll also be directing them to your help/request desk so that you don't have something like this on your layout comments again lol.

Thank you again, I can't wait to see how it looks on my journal. And just to be sure, you want all images saved to my separate photobucket and then placed in the code stuff...right? I'm really crap at html and stuff lol.

*huggles*!

Thank you for the theme! I will have to look into using that.

I also completely understand that you will put your work out there for others besides myself to use. I would expect it. :)

I wouldn't want to deprive others of such an amazing layout and graphics. Especially as hard as it is to find around LJ. :D

WOW. Such an amazing different a little font makes! I hadn't downloaded it yet and I just did. It seems to complete the entire thing some how.

Really good job with that! :D

first off, AMAZING LAYOUT! it's exactly what I have been looking for. unfortunately for some reason the header isn't showing and I've done suggested in the tutorials. is there something I'm doing wrong? how do both sets of code interact with each other? do they even go together?

any assistance you could give would be appreciated.

thank you for your time,
Christy

I realize this is a very old post, but I only just stumbled upon it and thought the layout(s) were fun. But I have absolutely no idea how to make it work without looking like a great big mess. Been poking at it for two hours now. And I'm unclear on what I'm supposed to be using as a "background image" given there's only two linked images -- Header, and Header Link.

Help, if anyone is still watching? Otherwise I'll keep looking for something else. Thanks.

Thank you for responding, and clearing that up for me! I appreciate it.

Yes, piecing the layout together isn't going as smoothly as I thought. I have experience with HTML, and granted I didn't keep poking at things very long, but some help would be appreciated. Here's the journal, so you can see what's going on: http://mr-laforge.livejournal.com

The top of the graphic gets sliced off, the two sandwich together so tightly that it cuts off part of the bottom, and the sidebar/entry headers are rectangular rather than circular. Which are the main problems I'm seeing.

It might be worth mentioning I run Chrome primarily, Firefox secondary. I'm not sure how the layout looks in both. But -- thank you in advance!

Hmm. I just double-checked the code, and the size of the header image isn't defined anywhere in pixels. It should auto-adjust, given the code you used. I didn't alter it in any way, just copy-pasted it straight from the text box above.

I could define the header image size in the code, but I think that might just add a new problem when it comes to rendering the image properties in different browsers. Still, might work? For science, and all.

Yes! It's working perfectly in both browsers! :D

Thank you so much for the help; it looks gorgeous. Great work! ♥

I am really late, but someone just linked me to this. Is there a way to make the center bar with the entries a little wider? It looks kind of narrow on my journal. Also in that section, where on the CSS do I change the font color? The colors are a bit to close together on my journal, so it is hard to read.

Thanks for this really awesome layout.

Not the layout entirely. When I commented, the center panel where the entries go looked a bit narrow, but I think it is working right now. And I figured out the coloring.

Thanks.
