[CSS] Square Layout

GatsuLTU said:
It's working now, but still some anime covers are blank like: Karen Senki, Berserk: Ougon Jidaihen I - Haou no Tamago, Lovely Complex, Inari and etc. The same ones are blank as in the other guys created MAL layout :/.

What do I have to do in order to upload the top-bar icons to my own dropbox?

I uploaded all the .css files here to my own, and its working for all except said icons, which won't show up if I use the file from my account. So do I need to save each icon to my dropbox, too or what?

Thanks in advance.

Marhuto said:


Yes. That's preferable.

I uploaded them to my imgur account.

I'm having somewhat of a similar problem, everything is saved to my own personal dropbox except for the top bar icons which I'm hosting from the MAL premade dropbox account from the OP. Theres an icon overlapping another one and I was wondering how I would solve this issue, heres what it looks like: http://gyazo.com/f18ab1ab8f0cebb3706c38ea30a84ed9

The background image that you seems to be placed wrong.
Let me see a copy of your code.

fofo808 said:


I'm using a custom background, thats what you're seeing lol

Hey guys what do i have to do to get automatic covers update? i have the original Square theme installed and it works great, but i noticed that after i added a new anime i have been watching called Shingeki no Bahamut, the cover comes up blank? so what's the issue? i read some of the posts in the thread, i don't want to manually update my covers every time i add a new anime to my list. Is there an automatic way to do this? thanks

A few questions anyone know where I can find a decent Durarara!! or Ghost in the shell pic I can use
next question how would I change the background pic on the list I am using right now.

Last question if The buttons up top on the list are they even changeable if so how??

I kinda want the list durarara!! based but ghost in the shell would work as well.

Hi my animalist keeps glitching so that sometimes instead of having the square layout it just has the list in words down the side of the page.

This is my list:
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Blackwar_Greymon

and this is the coding for it:



Although I don't think the code is responsible as even if i change it the problem remains
Please help me get this sorted out at your earliest convenience

The problem you are encountering isn't actually your problem, its actually dropbox's problem. If you try opening the links that is in the advanced css editor, you will get a 509 error, which means that the file is generating too much traffic and has been disabled until it has gone down.

What you need to do is download/backup a copy of your own code and host it yourself on your own dropbox/other servers/what other storage you have, then replace those links back to your own files.

is there a way to get the rating to be displayed on the rectangles?

daAmazinFatB0y said:
This is a great layout. I Use it for both my anime & manga list. Im in the middle of customizing it and I was wondering



Is it possible to remove that?

Satiriques said:


Put this at the end of your code:

.category_totals{display:none};

daAmazinFatB0y said:


Thanks for that!

Can you help with one more thing?



That and the others that say Completed, Plan To Watch etc etc They are not centered anymore. any way to fix that?

Satiriques said:


.header_title{padding:0px;}

Kinkara said:
Hi there, I started using this layout some time ago and everything worked out fine until today when I saw this:

I did not change anything from the code apart from the pre-made customizations in the OP, which worked just fine until today.

Thanks in advance.

Satiriques said:
Next time make sure you backup the codes and import them from your own cloud service so stuff like this won't happen.

Anyone have mirrors? Links offline :(

I have these, but I thought this layout which crashed would be back up by now

Tw1tcHy said:

Shishio, when the links go back to being live again, perhaps considering re-hosting them yourself and editing them into that thread you linked in the OP just for future reference for situations like this, nahmean?

If it's anything like last time, this layout is gonna be down for awhile :

daAmazinFatB0y said:


Thanks for that though I'm not sure what part of the code to copy for the theme only. I'm lookin for the white theme for my manga list. can you help me out?

Tw1tcHy said:
To me who has a basic understanding of .CSS and especially for the many users who don't, it's harder to modify that version to suit your needs precisely. For example, I used your code last night, and while it works for the base format, some addons work and some don't.

I did the long covers mod, then added that "section glow" mod which somehow disabled the long covers. I can't find where to change the text color so I'm back to the stock gray-whiteish color.

For example, this is a very small, simple, easy-to-read/navigate format for just about anyone




Where everything is clearly sorted and defined vs pasting the entire code for all of that in one lump sum and having to try to look through it all in a tiny box to make any changes. Get what I mean?

I definitely like the idea of installing them directly your way so they can never crash again, it just comes at the cost of simplicity. Maybe you give too many MAL members too much credit in figuring this stuff out haha.

In my opinion, the easiest option would be to teach people to host it themselves so the traffic never runs high enough to crash it. If u5122145254 whatever his name is is able to keep it supported for several month stretches at a time for the sheer number of people who use it, everyone hosting it themselves should never see a problem for the time they decide to run the theme.

Shishio-kun said:
Ok I see, you want the simplistic CSS edit box style, thats understandable. I'm not going to take the time to find another dropbox style site and upload all these codes for a similar CSS mirror myself, but when the codes come back I'll try to put the word out for people to try to make some mirrors for the layout on their own dropboxes/etc so people can switch to them when this one dies, I'd put in the OP, and also put some kinda RAR mirror in the OP for the few people willing to rehost (already planned on this actually). Just have to wait for these codes to come back online

I just added those two add-ons to the rehosted square layout, there was no problem, so when you added them you may have made some error (put the codes on the bottom, and be careful not to add extra lines on accident). I can look into a changing text option in the OP later too. You can always post this type of issue in the topic when you encounter them so I can address them in the OP, otherwise I'll have no idea, but now I know about that particular one.

On the last thing, unfortunately the majority of users flat-out refuse to rehost CSS in similar topics no matter how easy we made it (clear instructions, tools, etc) since its actually easiest for them to wait it out, change layout style completely, use the alternative similar layouts, re-add codes manually, etc. And I've seen so many people who spent hours doing something manually that simply rehosting would have taken minutes to do, all to avoid signing up for another website. So I don't take time for it these days but its ok for this.

Anyways thanks for the input!

Shishio-kun said:


A link to the rehosted white theme is right there on that page, did you try installing it on your manga list CSS? All you have to do is install it to your manga list then use the instructions at the bottom of the OP to set it for a manga list:

I can't find where to change the text color so I'm back to the stock gray-whiteish color.

daAmazinFatB0y said:


I have everything else. its simply the color scheme I want but I also wanna keep the the blue text I'm currently using.

havin a hard time on what to copy and what not to copy so it looks the same but its the white theme and my blue text.

Tw1tcHy said:
I checked my code with the addons, didn't delete the brackets or paste it wrong, just pasted it at the bottom. It worked fine until I added the glow code. It's weird.

For the colors, what if you want a specific RGB value? For example, mine were a specific shade of blue, different from what the code "blue" would show, if you get what I mean. Is that still possible somehow?

Tw1tcHy said:


My only complaint is I can't find any source code to move the bar to the right or center the headers, but otherwise I'll be keeping this setup instead, fuck the dropbox method!

Props Shishio!
