Description

Quite a few people have asked me about this now. So here is a full tutorial/documentation on how to do it

This includes the following files;
Header CSS
Journal Entry
Preview


This is a .zip file now.

Be sure to remove the notes in [Square brackets] before putting any of it in your CSS or it will not work.

You do not have to credit me in your Journal CSS if you use this if you do not want to, but I'd appreciate it if you left a comment to let me know you used it and added it to your favourites if it was useful.

Please don't note me with questions about using this, please leave a comment on this deviation. That way, if someone else has a similar issue, I can try and avoid repeating myself.

In the preview, headers and scroll box's are shown.
This tutorial is for the HEADER ONLY.
If you're looking for the scrollbox tutorial that matches, please check in my gallery. You can find it here [link]

Nope. You can use any program you like to make the graphics. You can code one purely in CSS if you wanted to.

Question: Is it possible to make your header just a picture, no text? (I don't know much about this stuff... at all... but I'm getting a membership soon, so...)

Talei In reply to MassacreAngel [2011-04-05 12:35:31 +0000 UTC]

Not without a sub. But yeah. You use the header tag but don't write anything Or you can just insert an imagine in the post instead

I still have to figure out how to do everything else, though... sigh...

XxMidyBluexX [2010-10-10 00:47:51 +0000 UTC]

Is there any way to create two individual looking headers? For example they have two different background images.

Talei In reply to XxMidyBluexX [2010-10-25 10:29:05 +0000 UTC]

Yes, there is, in the same way as my scroll box tutorial when you make boxes of a differen't size. To make a second one, you can do .header2 for the alternative header

So.. Um... Do you know how to make the header bg color transparent?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Talei In reply to SoniaBane [2009-08-05 14:50:31 +0000 UTC]

Well...yeah, but that kinda defeats the object of using the header. transparency: 100%; should work. =]

hey!
i've just got subscribed to DA and i havent got a clue what im doing, so could you explain to me how to change the colour of my journal bg please? i'd be very greatful

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

Talei In reply to Kaimoko [2009-01-23 12:48:19 +0000 UTC]

*Just* the bg colour itself?

.journalbox {
background-color:#------;
}

Change the hex to whatever you want.
Add in
color:#------;
before the } to change the text colour. [Yep, CSS has to be written American "color."

xSteam-Punkx In reply to Kaimoko [2009-01-21 04:03:24 +0000 UTC]

.journalbox {
background-color:#0E0053 !important;
border:0px;
}


If you want to change the color just look up a hex color chart and that should give you plenty of colors to choose from
If you need any further help with anything I'd be willing to offer that XD
