want to change the photo? See below for instructions! :)

:omfg: LIVE PREVIEW | View stock images used


Once you install it, make sure you go to the Options tab and edit the footer! Put anything you like inside the <sup> tags to have it show up when you hover the sidebar.

There isn't any HTML you need to remember, but if you like:
  • Use two bold tags to make a heading, or three bold tags for a bigger heading with an underline.
  • Wrap your thumbs in <div class="feature">...</div> to have them formatted differently.
  • <blockquote> gets a little dotted border on the left


Changing the photo is easily done -
  1. grab the template and overlap the man with your own images.
  2. Save the file and upload it to the net so you can link directly to it in the CSS.
    You could submit it to your scraps, but make sure to get the URL of the actual image, and not just what's in the address bar when you view your deviation.
  3. In the CSS, find the line beginning with .photo_ (it's not far from the top) and replace the URL in the background property with a link to your replacement image.
  4. ???
  5. ...PROFITEROLE!

:bulletyellow: update, 27th May deviantART now replaces any links to my userpage/gallery/etc with YOUR username, which is cool, but broke the link that pointed to the stock images. I've fixed that by using an URL shortener.

:bulletyellow: update, 18th May fixed the alignment in the attribution and stock footer text, fixed skin so that moods list works top and bottom, and added support for Internet Exploder - though the hover effects can't be fixed because IE sucks.

update, 6th May styled the attribution footer, added background colour to the photo, so if background (man) doesn't load (when people change it) it's not transparent.

Cool, installed. No problemo. I'm just getting a lonely < right above the "X Comment(s)" link and don't know where it came from. =p

Hmm, closing the <div class="feature"> for the image link with a second </div> "fixed" it. :p

Oho, that was my mistake. I had to update the code and resubmit this, and I accidentally left a lone < in the footer.

I've updated the skin to fix that, but I wonder now... if you make a new journal using the skin, is it updated? Or do you have to install the skin again?

That's a good question I don't have an answer to. :doh: I'd guess there is no auto-update, to prevent shenanigans. :giggle:

There does seem to be measures to prevent shenanigans - we can't alter the number, or names, of the images used. So, I'm lead to believe it might auto-update. Wait, the < is gone! ...did you removed it?
:iconspinegrinder:
$spinegrinder May 5, 2009, 5:07:19 PM
I did. I uninstalled the first version of your skin and installed the updated version.
