Description Yay for a free-to-use CSS! So yes this means you may use this for yourself!!

Rules to keep in mind:
Do NOT remove the crediting section!!
You can fiddle with the code and layout if you like but unless you make some MAJOR changes (AND change the design), you MUST leave the crediting section!

The brushes (grungy ink lookin things) are from ~stainlessstars . So thanks much to that deviant!

Enjoy! Let me know if you have issues. Keep in mind this CSS is best viewed in Firefox!


FIXES:

OOPS! I forgot something in the instructions file. You MUST set the mood location to TOP!
if your menu items are long (more than like, a word lol) take off 5-10px on the width under .right
if you're finding the footer section is running off the little block thingy, go to the .footer and take off 10px on the width (if it's running off the side) or 10px off the height if it's running off the bottom.


BIG EDIT: I've added a larger version... by larger, I mean it's longer with a larger section at the bottom for your stuff. It's also a tad bit thinner to fit 1270x768 comfortably. So when you download, there will be a LARGE background and the normal one. There will also be CSS for both those.

Please remember to host your own backgrounds!

Thanks

Hey, just want to say that I love this journal! I've used it here [link] but I'm not quite sure how to fix the links in the menu bar.

I edited a lot of it, but I left the crediting section at the bottom of my footer... Though, now people have to scroll to get to it. D: Sorry~




Here's a link! I'd like to know what you think! :3
[link]
That's the version I'm willing to let other people use too. The one I'm using is just a little different from that: [link]

So, for the most part I have the graphics and layout tweaked to my liking. However, I wanted to know how to get the "menu" with a scrolly bar too.

I figured out the code is
overflow: auto;
But I'm not sure exact where under .right{ I need to put it. Can you help? ;.;

nika-serpens In reply to LA-Draws [2008-01-08 15:29:33 +0000 UTC]

haha lookin good!

put the overflow line under ".right {" anywhere. not ".right a{" or any others... the first ".right". that's the section that defines the physical characteristics of the box itself.

LA-Draws In reply to nika-serpens [2008-01-08 20:11:18 +0000 UTC]

There's where I put it. Under .right{, in like, every spot I could, and it didn't work o.O

.right {
color: #FFFFFF;
width:140px;
position:absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 300px;
overflow: auto;
background-color:transparent;
text-align:center;
font: 10px Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
line-height:9px;
}

nika-serpens In reply to LA-Draws [2008-01-08 21:53:30 +0000 UTC]

hm... only reason i can find for WHY is because it's not set to inherently have a length. try adding

height: 400px;

mess with the height til it fits in the layout. hopefully that works lol

oh and put that line before or after the "width: " line

I love this layout to DEATH. I really do.

I have a question though. Is it okay if I revamp the entire graphic design of it? I still want to use your CSS code, so I'll leave your name in the credits for the journal, but I want to change the background and stuff. I want permission before I go and do it <3

Thanks either way. this layout's amazing. :3

yeah no prob several people have done that already. sometimes its recognizable... other times not so much lol but that's not a big deal to me. i'm way better at the programming than the graphical part

lemme know when you finish so i can see it!

Very much to like me your design I it has downloaded but has got confused. At me all departs also the menu stamps... What to do I do not represent and it is better than at you I did not see

nika-serpens In reply to LoyaltyA [2007-12-06 21:43:27 +0000 UTC]

Ok, I didn't totally understand what you said... and my Russian isn't good enough to just say "write it in Cryllic!" So I'm going to try... and you tell me if I'm right or not.

You got confused with the code after downloading... because you want to add the stamps on the menu on the left...? If that's true, then on the heading, where you put the code for .right you need to put the thumbs for the stamps there.

This is really cool.. I am using it..

umm, but is there anyway to lock the position of the Mood? as I have a 1440x900 screen and it looks really odd.

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

nika-serpens In reply to nymphofwater [2007-06-16 14:37:16 +0000 UTC]

Howdy

Locking the position... it SHOULD be locked as I always make the position: absolute and then fix the position via top: xx or left: xx or whatever. And I saw that you're having issues with IE... hm. Mess with the .content section in the CSS. It's set so that it moves left/right/up/down from the "center" position (since you put

after
so the margin is what decides how far left/right whatever it starts. Now... how to make it work for both firefox AND ie... it's a bit of a pain, usually. I try to avoid using really odd functions but I've never heard of anyone having a problem with this one on IE... blarg. AND I use firefox so i can't even see what the problem is lol I'm sorry... try looking up pages on Google for IE/Firefox CSS fixes... there's actually a bunch of problems in making things work for both.

nymphofwater In reply to nika-serpens [2007-06-16 16:23:42 +0000 UTC]

yes i know what you mean about getting codes to work in both IE and FireFox, it is a pain. But the problem in IE right now is that the best of the best section is in the wrong place.. and it's really odd as it looks perfect in firefox.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nika-serpens In reply to nymphofwater [2007-06-17 15:02:00 +0000 UTC]

Well it's not totally unheard of for it to look perfect in one and not the other... but that's common only when you start using strange codes... which you're NOT. You're using pretty basic code to get what you want so I really don't know what to tell you

Well as you can see it doesn't fit with my current header and footer content [link] Think I may have to rethink this.... I am obviously going to make the header bit my menu, but I could do with the footer bit being a bit deeper.

Could you tell me how to tweak that?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nika-serpens In reply to pendlestock [2007-03-27 21:05:53 +0000 UTC]

ooo hm. well the menu... it seems like you're just using long titles and it's sorta cutting off... to make it actually go along a little more without running off the menu bar, go to .right { and change the width to something like 10-15 px smaller. that should fix that a bit so it's not falling off

and the footer... what do you mean by deeper? it's running off the bottom too so to fix that (if that's what you were asking), go to .footer { and change the height to 90px. if that's still too big, try 85px. that should cut it nicely so it fits within the little window.

hope that helps
