Title: Help with LiveJournal, please and thank you~
Post by: Ying Hua on May 14 2006, 11:11 pm
Help me please~ The big problem's that I don't know what to ask help for. I'd really like to improve the look of my LJ. Check it out, please, and I hope you won't mind leaving a comment behind~

5) For Colour theme, choose a default theme if you are not sure which colours go well with each other, or you can experiment yourself. :)

<style type="text/css">
body, td {
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 10pt;
}
tt, pre {
font-family: monospace;
}
This part controls the title, font of your journal and how big the fonts are.

6c) BODY {
scrollbar-face-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#000000;
scrollbar-track-color:#FFFFFF;}
a { cursor:crosshair}
a {
text-decoration:none;
}
This controls the colour of the scroll bar. (Only works for IExplorer Browser)

6d) BODY {
background-color: #030025;   
background-image:url(IMG URL HERE);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 100%;
This allows you to change the picture for your background, position of the background and such

6d) table {
width: 50.5%;
margin-right: 54%;
margin-center: 2%;
border: none;
}
This controls the table. For "margin-right: 54%; ", it controls where the table will be positioned. (Mine's on the right. :)) The rest I'm not so sure. :X

6e) table table {
width: 100%;
margin:0;
This controls the table's width. the bigger the %, the widder it will be.

6f) a:hover { font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 9pt; color: white; text-decoration:none;text-transform:none; background:IMG URL HERE; border: none; height:0; filter:alpha; cursor:crosshair;}
This part controls the font family, font size and type of cursor when you hover over a link.

These are all that I know. Those that are not explained are those that I do not understand. XD For that you may want to ask Okamirei-chan, since she was the one who provided me the code in the first place, and taught me how to edit it. ^^ (Pmed you just in case you missed this post. XD)
