Whats Touhou you ask? I love Touhou so I had to make this! It uses characters from Touhou and changes your titles into their DVD cover pics when you put the cursor on them, and there are many different easy ways to customize the way they transition! Also, there are notes in the code to change the settings of the layout and I'll give you some options to change the characters out if you don't prefer Patchouli and Kaguya on the sides. Best of all, it has a Touhou version of the icon style toolbar!

If you want to change the characters out or reposition them
Scroll down to the "inlinecontent" part of the code. You'll see two background urls. The one on the left is the left character, and the right is the right character. You can switch them out with these characters and their link, and get a different character on the side! You can also replace the URLs with your own renders.
To change or take out the icon menu bar
This layout even has a Touhou style icon bar! Its in the upper right and controls things you had on your black bar and the category link. If you want to change or set it back to norma, use another touhou bar from this page:
Using the custom fonts
The headers (Completed, Dropped, etc) use custom imported fonts to give them those special font looks. Use this tutorial to change yours if you want! http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=450049&show=0#post1
Suggestion? Questions? Requests?
Post in this topic if any. I'd really like more transition styles if you can come make any!
That aside, this layout is brilliant! My mangalist still has no layout that's why I temporarily put it in private, lol. I plan on using this layout for it! Just need to study this for a bit. (Kinda busy right now)
I'll return in this thread if I have any questions. Thanks for sharing this layout! :D
Oh, it looks awesome, no matter which transition you choose...
but in Opera I see a little bug..
the bottom image, in category_totals, is not in the middle, and when you resize Opera window stay in the same position, not in the middle..
but works well if you change this:
left: 0px;
margin: 0px auto;
right: 0px;
to this:
left: 0px;//remove
margin: 0px -32px; //change auto to -32px* right: 0px;//remove
*as far as category_totals is part of list_surround is not necesary center the image in the screen, only extend the margin 32px in this case cuz the image is bigger than the list width.

Woah-ho! Nice picks! Thanks for adding. I love my bunny waifu! <3
I'd like to help by providing some nice quality renders of Touhou characters. There are just too many characters to list from the first game up to Touhou 13! Now I have to face a fight-to-the-death battle against my laziness first, lol!
EDIT 4 hours later:
Is it possible to change the background of the Scarlet Devil Mansion library to something else? Like....an outside view of Eientei during the evening, or the Hakugyokurou, or even the Hakurei Shrine?
Oh well. I guess we gotta gather more images huh? Lol.

If you use Autopager in Firefox to search, you can load all pages at once that way. You might be able to find a background more fitting for you there. I'd like to add an alternate background later for the more cute renders but won't get to it any time soon. I chose the library since it goes with Patchouli (my favorite) carrying books and shes what I want on the layout by default.
---After lurking for quite a bit (specifically, since joining this club and then some) trying to figure this out on my own, I admit defeat as it is starting to become utterly infuriating (which defeats the purpose of making a design for fun)· Although I am a complete newbie when it comes to this type of thing (which means I should just suck it up and use an easier layout), I seem to be possessed by this layout and stubbornly try to understand, and hopefully, use it in the future·
---I have read the FAQs, tutorials that I believe were relevant , etc· but I am still unable to figure out the following (in order of importance):
Regarding the side character renders, is there a way to have a different pair of images for each category (Currently Watching, Completed, etc) just like how the category headers themselves are customizable¿
Relating to question 1, if unique renders for each category is indeed possible, would a different background image (the background the renders are essentially superimposed upon) for each category also be doable¿
Again, relating to question 1 and 2, is there a way to also have a separate background image for the list itself when changing categories· (Perusing through many other users' anime/manga lists, I assume this is not possible or not worth the effort·)
Not really important, but in the icon style topbar, when you hover over the 'original icons' (the square ones), there is a smooth transition to the available options· However, the Menu 'tab' does not transition like the others· This just feels odd in my poorly developed design perspective and am curious if there is a fix for it·
---In my attempts to emulate this layout, I tried modifying the TTGL premade layout to···Lackluster results· Sure, I can get the list centered and whatnot, but I still struggle with the side-renders as I seem to be unable to get the renders locked in place in relation to the list like this Touhou layout does· My efforts tend to clip under the list on certain resolutions while this layout does not· I do not want to get started on trying to figure out different backgrounds per category···
---I may be wrong, but from what I understand through my trial-and-error adventures through TTGL's layout is that one needs to solely utilize the category headers if they desire to have a different images/renders for each category· But that leaves me in a bind as I do not know how to have a different rear background for the renders to be in for each category· Not only that, having 2 renders on the sides of the list like this layout does would leave the central image above the list unfilled unless I do some presumably funky things to somehow fit the center image to that spot·
---Although I do have more questions regarding this layout, this is my main issue· In essence, I want to use this layout (which is brilliant) but also have the ability to have different side renders (and hopefully backgrounds as well) for each category· I would lurk more (after I cool down from my rage at my inability to understand this) and recheck the tutorials and study some more premade layouts, but unfortunately, I am at a complete loss on how to accomplish the desires I want for this layout· Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated (or a "lurk moar, nub¡!¡")·

It is possible. I can see how, but it is a high level technique with complicated coding. You should look over or complete all CSS tutorials (including expert) before trying to do something so complicated. However you might be able to but it will be more frustrating. For example if you're not using Firebug (advanced tutorial) for complicated CSS editing, you're literally going to add hours of needless busy work.
1. If you look at my own anime list "World of Moecraft" you'll see I have an alternating background and header. There are three selector codes I know of that change with each category page they are: the headers you know about, the category links when selected, and the padding around the category links when selected. You'd have to use one of these for the changing background, and set it so its Z-index is lower then the list. But you'd lose the headers on the list itself.
2. Yes, you'd have the code you use for multiple backgrounds (probably header is best and easiest) fill up the entire background. Then it overshadows body. In addition to that, you'd have multiple urls for the two renders. So essentially, you'd have the header fill up the entire bg url + one render url in front on left+ one render url in front on right.
3. Yes you can have a fourth background attached to header that would be the list. It should be in front of the main background. So now, you'd have 4 background urls in the header. The main background, the list, the 2 renders.
4. I don't know how to do that atm. Its not a high priority either so I don't plan to ever try to make it transition like the others. The icon bar is imported so when I know how to make this change I will be automatically implemented.
This would be an example of the currently watching header taking over the whole background. You'll notice the entire background will be red. You'd do a similar thing with all the headers, and if you used a different color for each, you'd get a different color on each category's page. But you'd need to add multiple backgrounds too, there's a tutorial on that, and using Firebug to edit the backgrounds would be best (tutorial for that too). For now, if you're going to try focus on just one thing at a time mainly getting the multiple backgrounds in: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=419405
I really like the idea of showing DVD covers on the side of the list when you hover over a title however is there a way I can make this happen without changing the layout of my list? I've tried adding the code: @import "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78340470/TouhouLayoutCSS/CSSforTouhouCardRight.css";
to my CSS layout at the top, but it doesn't seem to work.... :/

That import makes DVD covers appear to the right. But you need to have the import to make DVD covers appear in the first place. So use these two imports at the top. Also this isn't an add-on, so it isn't made to work with other layouts and probably cause issues. But you can try to adjust it later for your layout or ask in this club ways how to.
I also would like to use just the DVD covers on the right side, but as you said it's not working correctly. And I have absolutely no idea how to adjust it ... Please help. If this is too much trouble for you, maybe a link to a tutorial would do as well. Also it made my list very slow, is that normal?

You can take the CSS from this imports @import "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78340470/TouhouLayoutCSS/CSSforTouhouCardRight.css";
then reimport from your own dropbox and edit it with Firebug or something to suit the list. Then add @import "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78340470/TouhouLayoutCSS/CSSforTouhouCardRight.css";
for the actual pictures to show up.
All available tutorial links on the front page under "customize your list" but there's no tutorial for putting that particular thing on any list its just something that takes know-how from doing CSS a lot. The codes here were intended for the Touhou layout and nothing else.
It never made my lists slow and I can't remember hearing that complaint so probably not normal.

I can look into restoring it, but these old ones can be hard to bring back if at all
rainfalls said: Nah forget about it, It was good while it lasted. I like your designs I'll move on from this one. Thank you for sharing your designs.
Ah no problem. Well if you're interested again I was able to restore the original anime version even the fonts, only took about 15 minutes and there should be some improvements particularly with the covers and copyright text at the top. But restoring the manga version will take a while I think, so I'm not going to be able to get around to it.
edit: Oh cool, the anime list layout works on the manga list perfectly fine so no need to restore it. Both lists can use the same CSS. All the backing up and improvements over the years to codes really paid off for this, lol.
