dA5pook - back in blackby `thespook

This skin is now too buggy to use. I do not recommend you install it.

I'll be writing a new version for deviantART v6.x eventually, but these things take up so much time and effort that I'm not that motivated right now.

If someone wants to put forward a donation to motivate me to update the skin now, well, I wouldn't say no to that, but otherwise you'll just have to be patient.

11th June 2008
I've updated the stylesheet over at userstyles.org with the work I've done towards updating the skin. It doesn't address all of the issues, but does fix most of the major ones.

The update only applies to v5 of deviantart, I plan to do a total re-write for v6.

~SGAlteran was cool enough to help me out with a whole bunch of the bug fixes, so much respect for his contributions.

UPDATE: 19th April 2007 - BACK IN BLACK!
major one being that Journal CSS is no longer interfered with by dA5pook!

There's a minor bug where some links or headings wont be coloured - it's rare, so don't worry - but if you spot any send me a note with a quick description and I'll fix it

^{Hopefully `the-faun doesn't mind me using his journal in the preview image}

TO INSTALL (two steps!)

STEP ONE: Visit dA5pook Black @ userstyles.org and see the section titled 'Install options'. Firefox users will see a button that reads 'Load into Stylish' or 'Update in Stylish' if you've got it installed already. If you don't have Stylish, get it.

Alternatively, if you know what you're doing, you can @import it from http://devart.koopseht.net/skins/black/

^{If you're a Firefox user still using DeviantSkin to install your skins - disable/uninstall any skins you have, uninstall DeviantSkin and start using Stylish instead. DeviantSkin was awesome when `bluespeed9 first published it, but to compare it to Stylish would be like comparing IE with Firefox.

If you use Opera, you can still install it, though you'll probably need to edit the skin beforehand (to remove the Firefox only @-moz-document bits. I've only tested the skin in Firefox.

If you still use IE - got cry to mommy, you're not ready to use the internet.}

STEP TWO: Install the following Greasemonkey script - noCSSForJournals.user.js - it's a helper script that makes sure journals look pretty. If you don't have the Greasemonkey extension installed, click the link and get it.

You could get away with not installing the script, but some journals (those without CSS) might be hard to read or look wrong. So, INSTALL IT!

TO STYLE v4 PAGES (ie. message center)
I have provided a modified version of my old v4 skin so that you can install it in conjunction with the new v5 skin to have those half-baked pages styled black too.

Visit oldblack.css and copy the entire contents of the page. Then click on the Stylish icon in the bottom left of Firefox and select 'Write Style > Blank Style...'. Add a title (ie devart: oldblack) and then paste the contents of the skin into the big text area. Hit save, and you're done

Don't use the @import method, as I will never update oldblack.css

TO CHANGE LINK COLOURS
...new instructions to come shortly.

If you want to read the back-story, check out my journal - skinning v5. I've also set up a mini site of sorts - [link] - where you can find a few other CSS goodies you can install in Stylish.

I hope you enjoy using it, and if there are any issues, drop me a note and i'll be right on it

Is possible you'll do this for v7? It may be great!

`thespook Jun 25, 2010

I've been working on it here and there, but I can't promise it'll be out any time soon.

One day, one day :0

~saphireta Jun 25, 2010 Traditional Artist

Ok, understand ..and looking forward!

(may it be with orange links.. ? or something like that.. just as little suggestion, but do it your way oc)

`thespook Jun 30, 2010

My way was already with orange links

~Infernalord Jul 24, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

Please update this script, please!

This is like the coolest skin ever!

`thespook Jul 24, 2009

I'm working on it

I've made enough progress to give people a preview sometime soon, but it wont be done for a while. And with Firefox 3.5 out now I'll also be able to work in some very cool CSS3 features

~Infernalord Jul 24, 2009 Hobbyist Photographer

I can't wait to use it!
I hate this dA green color!

~Dzon65 May 11, 2009

I can't get this to work.Somehow it changes nothing.I'm currently using daBlack and I have to say,along with firefy blue updated they are the only two working.I've posted a review on userstyles about this.Too bad cause I really like it.

`thespook May 12, 2009

It doesn't surprise me, dA has changed a lot since I stopped updating this version of the skin. I just tested it out, and yeah, for the most part it doesn't change much anymore.

I'm working on a rewrite, but I can't promise it'll come out any time soon as I'm only working on it from time to time. I'm sure you can appreciate how much work goes into these things; I missed a lot of sleep working on the previous versions

So this time I'm trying not to burn out working on it too hard.

~iareruss Feb 21, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

This is cool. But damn it like you said it's buggy. I'll wait till you release the new one. If I can, I'll donate, how do I go about doing that? Buying something you sell on here?
