Transmogrified style

Click the thumbnail to preview the layout.

**Notes: I was going with a simple look for my first Dreamwidth layout, something that despite customizations, would resemble the Transmogrified style. I like the mini icons DW uses, so i haven't deleted them from the code... if you know how and would like to do so, please go ahead ^^

**It will work with navigation strip now! Thanks to wekhter for the help ♥

Also, i don't usually make anime/manga related graphics, for the ones who don't like anime, feel free to replace my header with your own~!

Anyway, find the layout here @ inconformista ♥

Though I couldn't get into the series myself, I love the art style! This layout is so cute :)

[carisma_sensei]

Yes, aren't the characters lovely? <3

[hanyuu]

Adorable! Do you, by chance, take requests :3 (simple ones, of course). I miss my livejournal layout, and am stupid at making these >.> (www.livejournal.com/~xmidnightx) :O

[carisma_sensei]

I could explain you how to import that layout to Dreamwidth if you want, no need to make a new one :3

[hanyuu]

I would be so so so very greatfull ;_;!

Thanks :D I keep getting compile errors on iportant thigns like..;. the background image xD;

Compile error: line 1, column 1: Unknown token encountered while parsing layer: [TokenIdent] = body
S2::Layer, S2/Layer.pm, 67
S2::Compiler, S2/Compiler.pm, 27

Context
1: body {background-image: url(http://pics.livejournal.com/enamour/pic/0002h43y);
2: background-opacity: 255;
3: background-color: #595959;

5: font-size: 7pt;

uhmmm have you followed the instructions correctly? Like, you first created the layer for the flex. squares theme, and then the style and opened the style and pasted the overrides there? You don't have to compile the stylesheet, you use the stylesheet once you create the style :3

[carisma_sensei]

Because you pasted the flex. squares stylesheet into transmogrified style :3! You must first use the flex. squares style you created, then paste the css overrides on the white box, just as you would do on lj.

[hanyuu]

Ack i thought I'd delete my I failed post before you responded but you're too fast ;_;!

[carisma_sensei]

xDD Sorry!
And i'm glad you could install it! <3

[hanyuu]

Thanks :D It's not showing tags or about me, but it was the layout image and shape itself that I wanted most, so I'm quite content!

[carisma_sensei]

Hm? weeeird, it should work fine, maybe you haven't set them up on the sidebar options or did you get any errors while compiling the flex. square style thing?

[hanyuu]

I'm just drowning in my own fail :D Yeah I thought it was embedded into the layout but it was in the options. Now the only real issue I have to fix is my friends names not showing up on my reading page XD;

*Feels pretty bad for making such silly mistakes*

[carisma_sensei]

Oh my, i fixed that on an opal layout but i don't know how exactly so i can't help you there, sorry ;3;~ You could post a comment on the entry i showed you before to see if that user can help you though :3

[hanyuu]

e.e thank you so much! It's working now <3!!

*gives you many of whatever you like most*

Hi, please check out Rule 5 for this community. Your actual graphic cannot be larger than 300px on either side; scaling down a larger graphic using HTML does not create a smaller graphic.

[carisma_sensei]

If the point is that the image won't exceed the 300 pixels, then why can't it be fixed with HTML? o_o It doesn't screw anyone's reading page or anything. I will now create a new image to post it here, and from now on. But i just... don't get why we can't do it this way. Thanks for the kind comment though.

[grrliz]

If the point is that the image won't exceed the 300 pixels, then why can't it be fixed with HTML?

Because you are resizing a larger image within the browser; the dimensions of the image might be 300px, but the image itself is still larger than that. Someone else had posted an image the same way in another post, but their graphic was something like 1000px wide "resized" with HTML to 300px. People still have to load a 1000px wide image, which defeats the purpose of creating a thumbnail image.

[grrliz]

Also, here's a good article on why you shouldn't resize image with HTML.

[carisma_sensei]

Ok! I have read it and understand now. All's fixed now and will keep it in mind from now on, thank you.
