Layout: 02: Go Ask Alice


Live Preview is currently at [personal profile] gleipnir

Works with: Chrome, FireFox (visual differences), IE hates dashed anything.
Resolution: 1024x768 and above.
Features: Custom everything; fixed sidebar image, text, navigation, and links.
Navstrip: None.



How To Install:

1. Go to the Select Style page and type "Plain" into the search box. Select Plain for Tabula Rasa by hitting Apply Theme underneath it.

2. Go to the Modules page. Make sure everything is reset to defaults but that the Custom Text module is checked if you want it. Hit Save.

3. Go to the Custom CSS page and uncheck "Use layout's stylesheet(s)". Copy and paste the code below and hit Save.

4. On the same page, make sure your Page Setup is "1 Column (modules at bottom; no sidebar)" by hitting Apply Page Setup underneath it.


CODE:


Colors:
#75B2DD | #e71a1c

FONTS:
If you can't see any differences you need to either download the fonts or change them to other fonts in the CSS.

Century Gothic vs Century Gothic | Georgia 1234567 vs Georgia 1234567
Meiryo ☀☁☂☃☄★ vs Meiryo ☀☁☂☃☄★ | Trebuchet MS vs Trebuchet MS
Consolas vs Consolas | Monotype Corsiva vs Monotype Corsiva | Courier New vs Courier New

Backgrounds - "twilight-bg.png", "red.png"


Notes:

1. The sidebar image used to code this was 208px by 208px and is the recommended size. Browsers display dashed borders/outlines differently and the current styling has them similar on each browser, but a different sidebar image size will mess with that and also require adjusting of the custom text and search module positions.

2. Less text for titles and things is always better. More text in the custom text module risks long comment threads running into it on custom comment pages. Longer link list text risks running into entries/looking dumb.

3. You will need to move up the link list module at .module.typelist-module if you have a lot of custom links??? Spoiler it's been forever since I coded this.

4. The previous and next entry links are also designed for unicode characters. Have a cheat sheet. To change the text representing them, go to the Options section of the Text page. Look for "NAVIGATION" in the code to find where to adjust their CSS.

This feels like a terribly silly question but I am struggling to make the sidebar image thing show on the account i'm using this for. It shows up clearly on the live preview so I'm certain I am just not linking an image in the right place or clicking the right thing. If you can find the time and know how to make this show up, that'd be super appreciated.


(either way, the code is lovely.)

Nevermind! We got it. If anyone else has the same problem: The img html tag goes in the custom text field, before your text.
