Theme and Layout Change Tutorial

Additional Layout Directions:
Header Images: This section is currently set up for an image that is 1000px by 250px. If you wanted to use and image that is 300px in height there are a few changes to the coding you'll have to make.

Because 300px is 50px more than 250px we will be adding 50pixels in certain areas.

In the General Section under content you will want to add 50px to margin-top. It is currently 100px and will become 150px.

Also in the General Section under maincontent you will want to add that 50px to margin-top bringing it from 260px to 310px.

Then in the Misc Section all the way at the bottom of the coding you will find headerimage. Here you will want to change the height to 300px and the margin-top to -300px. This is again adding 50px to each. Don't worry about the negative in front but don't remove it either. This is keeping the header image above the layout.

Thank you so much. Your comment is wonderful and encouraging. I seriously doubt I'll stop any time soon if at all. I'm currently working the bugs out of a new layout so...

Where did you get this other layout. It is possible I can recreate the "button" look for you but I'd have to see it.

You're very welcome! XD Please, don't stop; you really make awesome designs! :D

Thanks! It would be great. The only problem is I took that code from Snubbly, a long, long time ago (... in a galaxy far, far away XD), and she's already closed her LJ, so I can't bring you the link. I still keep the code, of course. If you want, I could send it to you by PM, or something like that (if the lay code doesn't mess up with the PM code itself...). I like the effects you've put in the sidebar and comments links, for example, so I'd only like to change the "common links" effects (including pics and userpics). Just tell me and I'll send it to you.

By the way, I forgot to tell you about a header issue I had when I set up your layout. It isn't actually important, but here it goes anyway. I changed properly the header proportions in the code, but it still seems a bit cut on the top. Later, I thought it should be because of the elements' overlap, shouldn't it? I mean, LJ navbar on the top of the page should "eat" a 50px (or so) height portion of the image top. Is there any way to correct that to see the pic full height?

Again, thank you so much for your help, you're so kind! :)

Sure go ahead and send me the coding via PM.

What do you mean by "common links"? Just links in a post?

The header image problem is actually explained above in Additional Layout Directions.

Your image has a height of 400 show a few numbers need to be changed.

In the coding find .content and change the margin-top: 150px; to margin-top: 250px;

Then go to .maincontent and change the margin-top: 310px; to 410.

You did follow the directions above but you weren't adding only 50px like the example above; you were adding 150px. So that needs to be reflected. You got it right in the .headerimage section.

Ok! :D

Yes, I mean every link BUT sidebar/comments ones (the ones that have special effects in your layout, actually). I said that because the other layout had the same button effect in every link, with no exceptions. All of them looked the same. You'll see it on the code. But, seriously, I don't want to bother you with this, so don't worry too much about it if it turns too annoying :)

Ahhh, ok! LOL, what a fail! X'D Sorry, you're right. I made all the changes you pointed in Additional Layout Directions, but my header is 400px in height, yes. I even tried a 500px one. I've put the correct proportions in "headerimage" section, but didn't fix up the other ones. Ok, I'm gonna check it right now. Thank you so much! ♥

Best wishes!

Okay. Took a look at the coding you sent me and the solution is very simple.

Towards the very beginning of the coding you'll see....
a:hover { color: #ee1c24; }

Replace that with...
a:hover { color: #ee1c24; position: relative; top: 1px; left: 1px; text-decoration: none;}

This will make the links move like they are buttons. I actually added that extra coding here at the Lounge and you can see all the links moving when you hover.

Yeah, fixed!!! \o/ ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you so much, it looks great now!! Thanks also because I've learnt alot with your advices and I feel a little more confident with html. You've been wonderful, seriously, thanks!!

I'm looking forward to see your new works. Courage! XD

Have a nice day! :D

You are so welcome. I'm so glad you got it all working. I'm glad I've been able to teach you something.

You know that was my goal. The CSS coding for the layouts isn't too hard to learn and it was my hope to make it easier on other users. I'm glad I was able to make it easier for you.

Thanks! Coming soon!

:D
