Database / Icon Page / Icon Shadow + Header

[thomasneo]

Hi.

Before I begin, I would first like to thank the wonderful DW team for doing such an incredible job on the new customized icon pages. You people seriously rock. <3

Now, back to the topic. I need a little CSS help to further customize the icon pages in a database layout. As you know, the database layout has a white shadow on the icons in the entries. How can I make this shadow extend to the icons page? If at all possible, I would also like to scale down the size of the icons, preferably to "Small".

And I don't know if this is possible, but I would also like to change the header from "Current Icons" to just "Icons". After all, it is displaying my entire set of icons so it doesn't really make sense to have the "Current" in there.

So yup, that's about it for now. Sorry for not linking to my other blog as I prefer to separate the two online identities.

Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Booo.

OP, if you still want to change the header text, I can give you steps for it, but it's a little more complicated :(

Okay. But be warned that I'm a complete noob at editing layers. :)

You mostly have to copy/paste :) So basically do what I explained in the longer comment above on the wizard layer. Then copy eeeeevery line that starts with 'set' (this will be basically everything except like, the comment at the top, and the layer name and type lines).

Put it in an empty txt for the moment. It looks like you're using Apple Green as a color theme, so go here and copy all the text. Go into the file and paste everything above the stuff you copied from the wizard layer. Now comes the one tedious step - give it a glance over to make sure none of the 'set' lines have the same property on them. If there are two of the same, delete the one from the second block of text you pasted - you probably want what you set it to in the wizard (and I can't remember if the compiler catches duplicate set lines).

Go back to the custom layers list. At the bottom of the page, there's a header that says 'Create a style-specific layer'. You want type 'theme' and style 'Database'. You should have a new layer of type 'theme' and the name '(none)'. Open that up to edit, and paste all the stuff from your text file in. Hit 'Save & Compile'.

Finally, go to your custom themes. You should now have a theme there called Green Apple, which is the new copy you just made. Apply it, and win!

Glad to help! It seems pretty intimidating at first, but once you sort of know where everything is, it's easier.
