Description
Live preview »Here's my second Journal skin attempt for =CypherVisor 's Modern Elite CSS Contest . This time, I went for a darker, more gloomy style, making use of some subtle background patterns, minimal and semi-transculent borders for many elements, an elegant ultra-condensed font for the headings, and sections at the top and bottom which look like they're wrapped around the content (hence the name "Wrapped").
In contrast to my other entry , this design is already fully coded and therefore installable, so I'd appreciate if you'd give it a shot! For information regarding the usage of all the included elements, check the instructions below. Enjoy!
Instructions
General note:
Because of the fact that writing a line break in the Journal editor leads to a real HTML line break (
), you might have to remove empty line breaks between certain items in your text (between a heading and the following text, for instance) to achieve the right spacing between the elements.
How to use headings:
—Heading title—
How to use lists:
- —List item—
- —List item—
- —List item—
How to use quote boxes:
—Quote content—
How to use code boxes:
—Code snippet—
Note: If you want to prevent HTML code from being rendered, replace each front parenthesis (<) with <
How to use two columns:
How to use images:
How to suppress the background around an image:
How to remove all image backgrounds in an area:
How to center images:

I was going to do my own code when I realized that after a few years of not coding, a lot of information mysteriously disappears(or gets outdated), but lucky for me, there are people like you that sweat the work and share it with us forgetful folk. Nice, clean aesthetic--looks very professional and has a mature tone, which is what I was looking for.
Thanks and keep up the work.

I just installed and am using this at my group. :group-eaze:
I love it by the way. The only thing I can see and cant fix is some funky spacing on the two column app.
Besides that KUDOS!!

Thanks for your kind words! Glad you and your group enjoy the skin!
About the spacing within the columns: The text alignment inside them is set to "justify" (meaning each line always extends all the way to the right) in order to give the columns a rectangular shape, which makes them look far better next to each other. Therefore, disabling it will probably make them look even "funkier"; however, you can still give it a try by clicking Edit CSS inside the Journal editor, searching for the word "justify" and replacing it with "left". Good luck!

Thanks. I tried it but all it came up with was the code so I couldn't use it. It had the credit and all on the bottom with your name on it;

You know, I see a lot of crappy and mediocre journal skins pass through #iterators and it gets annoying after a while, but this one is so much of a refreshing turn in the other direction I had to go out of my way to tell you. I like this.
