Midnight Pond CSS

This skin is FREE to use by anyone, but you need to have a sub to use journal skins. You do not have to fave it or anything, just use away. However, this is my work - YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CLAIM IT FOR YOUR OWN AND YOU MAY NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE UNLOAD THIS AS A SKIN OF YOUR OWN OR REMOVE THE CREDIT. Understand? Bad things will happen if you do - and trust me I will know.

Live journal: [link]

You may change the colour scheme, font, font size etc if you like. For the most part I don't care - but remember, do not claim as your own. You may base a skin off the code used here; however, you may not simply change the header image and colour scheme and claim it as your own. Do we understand what I mean? If you would like to make any major changes to this skin you MUST send me a note first. Okay?

HOW TO USE:

ALWAYS PREVIEW SKINS BEFORE POSTING. Be careful not to miss any closing tags.

To change the subtitle go to 'Options' and look in 'Skin Header'. The first div class html tag is for the subtitle.

<div class="subtitle">CHANGE TEXT HERE</div>

Change the links, stamps and groups in the sidebar by going to 'Skin Header' under 'Options'. Careful not to remove the closing div tags. If you want to remove the sidebar altogether delete all the html labelled 'sidebar1' through to the closing div tag in the 'Skin Header'.

To put in a content panel (recommended) copy and paste the following code into the 'Content' section of the main journal.

<div class="content">TEXT GOES HERE</div>

To use thumbs OUTSIDE OF THE text panels copy and paste the following code into the 'Content' section of the main journal. Please note: this cannot be used with literature pieces with lit tags.

<div class="thumbs">PLACE THUMBS HERE</div>

To use to footnote copy and paste the following code into the 'Skin Footer' under 'Options'. It's good for copyright notices and messages you want to keep in journals like commission details. Please note: if the body of the journal is shorter than the sidebar, the footnote will sit at the bottom of the text and not at the bottom of the journal. To stop this make sure the content of the journal is longer than the sidebar.

<div class="footer">TEXT GOES HERE</div>

If you have a thing for really long or short titles, you can change the size of the title. Changing the size of it will prevent the date from going over the subtitle. To change this go to 'Options' and look for .journaltop h2 under 'Skin CSS'. The section of code will look like:

.journaltop h2 {
background-color: transparent;
color: #68ace5;
font-family: book;
font-size: 45px;
text-align: center;
margin-top: -40px;
}

Change font-size: 45px; from 45px to whatever size you need.
