This is useful Luckily I know CSS quite well already, so hopefully I'll be able to do a journal skin, myself \o/ But this should be useful, thank you for making this

I don't think CSS coding works on a deviantid (it might I'm not sure), but you have to have premium membership to use CSS on this site.

Not neccessarily~ in some ways you can get around it like editing the default journal skin

Airy-Styles [2012-04-29 01:23:33 +0000 UTC]

okay so you know how you have the tittle box then the main part of the journal right? If you wanted to Split the main part of that journal into one large part and one smaller part vertically how would you do that?

RavensHiddenSoul [2012-04-10 06:37:04 +0000 UTC]

Oh, excellent! Thank you so much for sharing these; it's so thorough and perfect for someone who likes tweaking and adjusting things as much as I do.

the-illustr8or [2012-01-23 09:58:22 +0000 UTC]

Great reference for the CSS - was really helpful! Thank you so much! Quick question though - when you're editing say the default dA journal skin, how do you get rid of the journal icon image on the left of the journal title?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

x-Danielle-x In reply to the-illustr8or [2012-01-23 11:41:38 +0000 UTC]

This should remove the journal icon:

.journalbox .journaltop img{
display: none;
}

Thanks, I didn't realize it was already listed up there (I must have overlooked it while I was reading by accident) - Sorry about that, but thank you for listing it for me anyway! I really do appreciate it, this was a great help (:

I have a question, how do you change the title to where it can be in the lower part of the header instead of the top?

Fairiegirl101 [2011-01-23 22:54:05 +0000 UTC]

okay, I have this problem with adding images to the top/bottom of the journal skin. I've tried a lot of different variations of the code that are supposed to work, but it never does. Such as:
background-image:url("[link]")
background-image:url([link])
background-image:url"[link]"
to name a few. Do you have any ideas on what I could do to fix the problem?
([link] is just the url)

You're an angel, this was just what I needed. I was trying to figure the whole CSS thing out, and I got it, but I didn't get it, if you know what I mean I just wanted to splash a little colour into my group blog and into my own journal, nothing fancy (yet ) Finally I was able to do that
