This layout is basically a tweak on a previously released layout: Central. But I was using it a lot so I figured I might as well release it! Blackletter is an extremely basic one-column layout that features a fairly flexible header scheme.

Instructions

  1. Go to your Customize page.
  2. Under "Select a New Theme", type "Blanket" in the Search box.
  3. Find "Peach" (by [personal profile] sforzinda) and click Apply Theme
  4. Click the button that says Customize Your Theme.
  5. Click Custom CSS on the left. Uncheck use layout's stylesheets! It should look like this!
  6. Copy and paste the following into the custom stylesheet box and click "Save Changes":

For a layout with header text (as in preview) —


For a layout without header text —


Customizing the header

This layout was designed with a simple-to-customize header component. The default size of the header is 650 x 200 pixels, but you can tweak the CSS to other dimensions.

To change the header, find these lines of code (hint: they're at the very top for easy editing) and replace the url in red with the url of the image you want to use! You can also delete the line altogether if you don't want to use a header background; it looks a bit like this.

#header {
    margin: 1em auto 2em;
    text-align: center;
    height: 200px;
    width: 650px;
    background:url(http://spoony.valiantknife.org/dwidth/blacklettered/background.png); 
    }

I realize this defeats the purpose of the layout a little, but is there a way to have little icons showing like you have in your "Central" style? I've been using your style for a few hours now and it made me realize I enjoy icons more than I thought I did.

If this is a rude thing to ask, I apologize and please just delete this comment.

It didn't seem to do anything. I'm replacing

.entry .userpic {
display: none }

with what you just posted. Is that right?

Also thank you very much!

Just a quick question! I've got a big title for my journal and want to make the header text smaller, any way to do that?

Is there a way to get usernames and community names to display on the read pages? Or am I installing this wrong? I've used another one of your layouts (they are all gorgeous) and had the same problem, I can't figure out if I'm borking it or what.

I don't know if you're still looking at this or not, but I LOVE this layout and had used it on a previous journal. I wanted to use it again, but I'm having a bit of a problem with it where the journal's subheader is showing next to the header, instead of underneath it.

For some reason, it's doing this on my new journal, but not the old one that I still have it on. I even tried going back and taking the code from the old one and it's still doing it.

[personal profile] fascinator this is the old, functional one
[personal profile] venturer this is the new one, with the problem

Any idea what might be going on?
