Instructions

  1. Go to the "Customize Profile" tab.
  2. The preview theme was designed around these settings, but you can experiment to find the header bar you like best:
  3. Optional: Install the Plurk Jailbreak chrome plugin! Without this plugin some parts of the default plurk code (e.g. the header) can't be edited and overwritten.
  4. Copy and paste the following into the custom stylesheet box and click "Save and Update":

Changing the Timeline Background

To change the timeline background, just upload an image somewhere and find this line of code (it's right at the beginning):

#timeline_holder {
background: url(http://spoony.valiantknife.org/plurk/gothic/timelinebg.png);
    }

Replace with your own image url and background stylings. The image should have a height of at least 386px if you don't want it to repeat. Here's an example:

#timeline_holder {
background: url(http://spoony.valiantknife.org/plurk/gothic/timelinea.png) no-repeat #9cbfd3;
    }

Changing Dash Header Font

Do you not like blackletter fonts as much as I do? You can change the "Stats", "Friends", and "Fans" header text pretty easily. I put this bit at the top too:

#plurker_info h2, #plurk-dashboard h2 {
color: #000 !important;
text-align: center;
background: transparent !important;
font: 32px UnifrakturMaguntia, cursive;
margin-bottom: 10px;

I've highlighted the most straightforward stuff to change and I have a quick rundown on how to style text with CSS.

Colors Used (for easy replacing)

#e7f0fc · title, selection, profile border, &c

#f6eea0 · profile link background

#c4a87d · in-plurk links

#fddee0 · various hover styles
