[Stylesheet] Abyss
« on: January 20, 2008, 06:28:05 am »
This is my first style.  For lack of a better name it's called abyss.

I have been working on it for quite some time. Here's a screenshot:

This is the actual style sheet.

Put this in your headers:

Code: [Select]
<div class="tborder" valign="bottom"><div class="catbg" id="newz"><center><img src="http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg212/themeset/a1/banner-2.png" alt="Abyss" /></center></div></div>


Of course, you can change the image to your forum's logo. It is optional to put that in your headers, but if you want the news to be placed the way it is in the screenshot, you have to put it.

Now if you want to have your news like that, ensure you have the jQuery include in your headers.
Code: [Select]
<script src="jquery.js"></script>Then put this in your headers or footers:
Code: [Select]
<script>
// News moving module
// Made by Omikron 9861
$("tbody tr td.titlebg2:contains(News)").ready(function(){
var news = $("tbody tr td.titlebg2:contains(News)").html();
$("tbody tr td.titlebg2:contains(News)").hide();
var news2 = "<div class='tborder' align='right' style='font-variant: small-caps; color: black'>"+news+"</div>"
$("#newz").prepend(news2);
});
</script>

And here's an alternative to the code posted above. It is the one being use in the preview. It places the news under the logo.

Code: [Select]
<script>
// News moving module
// Made by Omikron 9861
$("tbody tr td.titlebg2:contains(News)").ready(function(){
var news = $("tbody tr td.titlebg2:contains(News)").html();
$("tbody tr td.titlebg2:contains(News)").hide();
var news2 = "<div class='tborder' align='right' style='font-variant: small-caps; color: black'>"+news+"</div>"
$("#newz").append(news2);
});
</script>



And here are the new post and no new posts icons:

Thank you all a lot! That's really good encouragement. I feel it might have not been as good without the logo, though.

That looks pretty good.  The new post images and stuff could use a little work though.  What type of file did you save them as?

You should save them as a PNG.  They are better quality and it still should work on IE

pretty sure he is trying to make sure they are still transparent on IE 6.0 and png transparencys are not supported with 6.0 so he did them as gifs since it does support them  ;)     With IE 6.0 you would see the white background.
