Hello everyone :-] Look, I feel really sorry linking the journal of a stranger who presumably haven't used their journal in over a decade, but I never really used LJ and don't know anything about how it works besides what you see as a logged-out user. Does anyone know the name of this layout, which I see a lot, and is there a way I can repurpose it for DW? I think it's really cute, and if I just play with the CSS a little I could make it even better (according to my tastes).

Okay I've been working on Transmogrified as other themes I had some major frustrations with. I think I've figure most things out but suddenly I realized there is a horizontal scrollbar when there shouldn't be.

You can see it at

sireesanwar . I can not figure out why my journal is like 150% wide. Anyone see what I'm not?

How can I modify the HTML side of my layout to achieve this result? I am using Practicality as my base theme.

Okay I have several issues here. I'm trying to customize Transmogified from my LJ FlexiSquares and Expressive layouts. But a couple things.

1. How do I code them to provide my custom tiny icon? I figured out currents or metadata and tags and user and community but not Sticky, Private, Locked etc. DONE

2. Why are my "access filter" icons (provided by DW) showing up in the post? See images below... if you need me to friend you so you can see the "friends locked" post... let me know. The sticky one appears to be working except it disappears upon clicking a tag on the post or going into the post and I don't know if that is normal... you can see it live at my journal but a friends lock one will have to friend you.

I really would love to keep my old theme (a customized tabula rasa plain) but it no longer works on mobile :( Checking the use layouts style sheets box doesnt help. Any chance somebody can look at my custom code and offer me a fix?

I wanted to transfer some of my layout work over to Dreamwidth but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent of Expressive nor an easy want to move Expressive over to DW. Does anyone know if this can be done or if there is a similar layout I can learn? I've been looking but everything here seems kind of old school.

Not new to DW but not up on everything.

Hello!

I tweaked the fonts in my layout then noticed afterwards that the tiny username icons were misaligned with the text beside them. I was able to fix it using the code below for DW users and communities, but for other sites like AO3 and YouTube, the tiny username icons are still aligned at the bottom.

/--------------- tiny icons ---------------/ img[src*="user.png"] { vertical-align: middle !important; } img[src*="community.png"] { vertical-align: middle !important; }

Thanks in advance for any help 🙏🏽

I switched to the Mobility theme today so that my blog would look better on mobile devices. I've customized all the colors and fonts and stuff to my liking, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of this eyesore box at the top:

a screenshot of my blog with the offending box circled in black

I've flicked all the modules on and off to see if I can isolate it, and it doesn't seem tied to any of them. IDEALLY I would just have my blog title and subtitle there, and no random "Modules" link (which, for what I'm doing here, is pretty redundant). I've combed all the journal customization options over a few times trying to figure out what controls what happens in that box and how I can modify it or at least shoo it away, but I've come up empty-handed. I assume this is probably something I'd have to attack with CSS? I'm not good at that stuff but I can kinda fake it until I make it, although I just honestly don't know where to start here. I would super appreciate anyone's insight.

Hello, I was pointed by support to contact you regarding templates.
My question is the following: how can I add my own template with TUBE interface? I have my own templates, developed for BLOGGER and WORDPRESS, I use program ARTISTEER and Incomedia WebSite X5 Evolution.

I looked in the options but I didn't find IMPORT TEMPLATE anywhere, I only found a section Advanced Options / Your Styles where it doesn't allow me to attach my own template that I developed myself, it only allows me to change the styles and create new ones styles. I was looking for a TUBE template, in your inline styles, but I couldn't find one anywhere, except for the standard templates that create vertical and deep pages. I would like to ask you to explain in detail how and in what way we can upload our own templates that we have developed by ourselves.

hello, I'm having some trouble with my community theme and I'm trying to figure out if its a troubleshooting problem or something else.

ive started a community called mapmakerstrilogy for a book trilogy and I'm in the process of editing the theme and adding background images. I was trying to change the theme to sand dunes by flatlanders but everytime i do it automatically applies it to my blog instead of the community. by all accounts my settings are correct and I'm working in the right community so I don't know why its doing this.

are there certain themes that are only allowed to be used for blogs and not communities or is this a troubleshooting issue? I've cleared my browser cache as far as the begining of the month and restarted and updated my computer. I don't know what else to do.

any advice is appreciated. thank you!

edit: here are some screenshots of what is happening. sorry for how large the images are

Hi all! I was pointed this way to possibly find help with what is probably a really basic style issue. I am wanting to know if there is a way to keep the width of my entries static across all devices? (I'd been happy with anything 600px +) My page looks great on the PC, but on a tablet, the width of my entries shrinks and it throws out the placement of my artwork.

Desktop:

Tablet:

This is the theme I am using:

I have a paid account, and I've had a play around with the customize your theme option, but no luck, and I only know very basic html and css. Any help or advice would be very appreciated!

Hello to All

I am back posting at Dreamwidth after a very long absence and wondering if I need a paid account to change my mood icons to cats.

I have the gif images on my desktop computer at home.

Can I upload them with html coding or is there access now to icons for people to use with their journal formats.

Really like the the journal style that I have chosen.

I would like to add the cat icons to go with it.

It feels good to be back. :D

Hi guys! So there's a guide to convert IJ styles to DW, but I'm looking around and there doesn't seem to be any guide for converting the other way. I've made some progress but when I go in to compile my custom layer I'm getting a ton of errors. The current one is "can't declare usage of non-existent property" (property use layout_type; is the italicized line). I'm picking at it slowly but I thought I'd reach out to see if anyone has any experience with converting from DW to IJ and any finicky things I need to change in the raw code.

If it helps, I'm trying to convert Basic Boxes. Thanks in advance!

I've been gone from DW for a couple of years, and in that time it seems some people have started using details instead of cut to make a pseudo-cut tag. It messes with me visually on my reading page.

I have a custom layer and can edit bits and pieces, but I've managed to confuse myself as to whether I need to edit the layer or throw some custom css on.

I want to make the 'details' span visually identical to a cut tag - bold, underline, parentheses. I've skimmed old entries here for cut tags, and I have a couple of thoughts mulling. I can probably do the B and U easily enough, and match the color to my entry-links (#1f142e), but I'm banging my head on how to get the parentheses in place. Matching the arrow would be nice, too, but it doesn't bother me as much as the lack of the cut-tag visual elements.
