OMG DEW is GORGEOUS!

[blackdove]

Loving starfish... I've added it to my page temporarily while I play around with my own colors and graphics. Thank you!!!

[brighid]

Agreed!

[ex_adorkable997]

I tried it but it was looking odd on my screen. I will try it at home later, but things looked like they were overlapping, for me.

[heartshope]

what browser were you using? I can try and test it on my computer with that browser and see if I can figure out what's going on :)

[ex_adorkable997]

Firefox . I also have a smallish screen... I didn't know if that made a difference. Certain things look different at home on my larger screen.

[heartshope]

Hmm can you take a screenshot for me? I might not be able to view it since your journal is locked. This way I can see what's overlapping :)

[ex_adorkable997]

This is what I see... should I have turned something else off?

And my tags are overlapping into my entries...

arg can't get the links right!

[heartshope]

Are the tags all one word? or is it a long string of words to make up one tag. You can try to reduce the width in the .module-section-two code if it's more than one word and see if it will break the tag up to two lines. If not I will have to see what I can dig up.

[heartundone]

love both of these!

[ex_adorkable997]

I think it is the long, multi word tags. But the profile header is running up into the header, etc... I dont know if its just my 'puter or firefox or what.

[heartshope]

Ah I see why your profile is running up into the header. It's because these layouts were made without the navigation strip. The navigation strip (which I see on your journal when I'm logged out) pushes the header image down, but does not effect the sidebar.

[ex_adorkable997]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh. Hm. How do I turn that off?

[ex_adorkable997]

I got it! Thanks!

[heartshope]

No problem :D Thanks for bringing that to my attention :)

[revolutions]

beautiful! I'm bookmarking these for later use.

[milkymoon]

Fresh Dew in particular is rather pretty. :)

[sarlania]

They're both really gorgeous! Thank you! I'm bookmarking them for later. use.

[queenbarwench]

Bookmarked for later consideration. They're both gorgeous!

[qp]

lovely!

[ieune]

Another voice saying, 'oh, those are GORGEOUS!' :)

[paraka]

Ohh, pretty. I've taken the Fresh Dew one and will credit.

One question though, I notice that all the pictures are hosted by you, would you like me to switch the links so it's not a drain on your bandwidth?

[heartshope]

You are more than welcome to host the images yourself. I have unlimited bandwidth with my host so I do not see it as an issue. If for some crazy reason everyone on DW uses my layouts (/sarcasm hehe) and it gets insane (I run a few sites with large volumes of traffic and I know insane haha) I'll change it so that people will have to use their own hosting for images. Thanks for checking though :)

[red_trillium]

Those are both gorgeous. I want to use one but am not sure yet which. :D

[into_the_greenwood]

Thanks for these, they are both lovely - I am using one on a community and wonder if I could change the dew picture to something else but keep the rest of the layout?

[heartshope]

You can change the picture, but please still credit the layout to me :)

[myownmuggle]

Lovely. I've used the Dew layout and added credit.

[itsanonyx]

Wow, that's awesome.

[silverdew]

I think I'm going to try out the Fresh Dew one, thanks!

[tetra]

Excellent layouts.

However, I'm a retard and can't seem to alter the actual starfish graphic itself...any pointers?

[heartshope]

Can you specify what exactly you're trying to alter? I'm not quite sure what you mean :)

[tetra]

Oh, I'm trying to replace the starfish picture with one of my own.

I figured there would be some sort of code I could replace with a URL?

[heartshope]

Find:
#header {background: url(http://www.snowfaerie.net/dreamwidth/freelayouts/starfish/starfish.gif) center left no-repeat; height: 272px; margin-bottom: 0px;}

Replace the URL there with the one you have :)

Where do I turn off the nav strip? I don't know how to kill it orz.

[fastfwd]

Hi--I wanted to use Starfish but my tags list overlapped the entries. I can't figure out how to fix it--I did turn off the navigation strip. I'm really a dumbass when it comes to coding this kind of thing, so it has to be explained to me like I'm a five-year-old. Sad but true.

[heartshope]

Did you see this piece?

-For the Tags module, it is recommended that you keep it as Multilevel and set a limit for the number of tags shown. If you use Cloud you may run into some of the longer tags overlapping your entry text. Fool around with it if you like. You can also try making the width in the .module-section-two smaller to keep the tags from overlapping.

If so, are your tags long? Do you have a preview or screenshot I can look at?

[heartshope]

1) Go to your Account Settings page and make sure all three checkboxes for the Navigation strip are unchecked. If these are checked, your sidebar will overlap the header image!

[kyoy]

Thank you!
