mobb said: Yeah I actually agree about the background, I didn't really know what to use. I wanted to have some sort of pattern/texture, but it won't work well without some extra markup (at least with my skill level). Color suggestions are very welcome though. Try overlaying wood texture? |
PresSiT said: Try overlaying wood texture? Like I said, it won't work well without additional markup, since the body background is reserved for the top of the scroll. MAL didn't allow manipulation of the html element when I tried and no other element covers the entire page. Please tell if I'm missing something obvious. :P Anyways, I did a small update, adding a little extra. I want to position the quill a little different, but then I have to fix the edge of the top parchment again to allow tiling. Sooo maybe it'll happen within the next month or so. I'm a lazy bastard. @valtizar: Nice list. :) I would just advise you to change the background color to something like #a8dffe until you fix the image. It's currently the same color as the text, which makes the entire right part of the list unreadable. |
| But what about the list text? Written with a quill! And the wax seal is just authenticating the document, which doesn't really have anything to do with how the content is created. ...but really, I'm just throwing some crap on there to decorate it a bit, don't bring logic to my doorstep! ;) About your background suggestion: I would then need to either have the background fixed, which I don't want, or make the background resolution 1920xthousands, which would make it several MB big. None of them viable unfortunately. If by top bar you mean the control strip, then that's also impossible, since it has its own space up there and doesn't extend down the entire page. Thanks for trying though. :3 |
| Ah yes, that could work. But as you say it's not very practical, since the list-surround div would need to be 1920px wide and I would have to mess with padding for everything inside it. In the meantime, I experimented a bit with dropping the eastern look. Dunno what to think of this either... I should probably just stop this now. >.< |
| @Algirdyz Yes, I realize that now. Sorry, this is my first attempt ever and I'm still learning. To be honest when I first started it never occurred to me that it would look different on different resolutions (I know, silly me). It was only after I had started that I learned that. Perhaps it would help if I changed the text colour to white instead?? I feel as though that may help, though probably not enough to make any significant difference. This is something I will keep in mind for the next one I make. |
 |
| Hey, any tips on mine? |
| You could hide #category_totals and #table_headerLink to make the blue margin align all of the text perfectly. |
 |
| Did it. I also changed the main title and some other stuff. Now I'm working on the MAL bar. And for the blue line to fit exactly right I'll need to edit a lot of pictures, so I'll do it later. Thanks! |
| Now since there are no living creatures in the List Help thread, could anyone help please? On the copyright of my list, there is a distance from the "Plan to Watch" that I can't change. If anyone knows how to do that, please tell me. |
| First of all, thanks! I really appreciate it! And I changed the height to the exact height of the copyright's "background". Now it's on the bottom without any padding, which is good. The problems are now that 1 - The f____ copyright text is covering *my* copyright text and 2 - the blank space is still there. I'm so afraid of touching the "copyright" section, lol. |
| I have no idea how to fix your problem (I'm just learning xD) but I really love your list :) The note paper looks awesome! |
|
| Thank you! :D And, again, if anyone knows, please say it. |

NETRiP26 said: It worked perfectly! Thank you!Try this. (now I can stop complaining and work on my damn sig...) |
| @ poketonip: Nice list you got there ^^ I just took a look at the background image (: you made it yourself? ^^ cool ;D |
| Thanks! I did it by myself, and hell, was it hard to find a ginormous sky that didn't look lame. Well, there's nothing some photoshopping can't do! :) |
| I'm trying' to copy code of my list to advanced style editor. I created new style, chosin' it, clicking update css, copyin code - update again. And its only little part of it is copied -_-. Why? |
     |
| I just made a Spice & Wolf design. xD Nothing is finalized yet so I was wondering if anyone has suggestions? There were so many cute S&W pics out there to use.. >< And I tried to make my list have a peaceful, storybook feeling to it. XD -shrug-  |

| ^ that looks great. Good work! |

| Sigh... I'll have to update my design soon... Already 2 years using the phpbb theme inspired one... Hmm, I'll have to do some planning again... |
    |
| @ mimi_taylor: woooow, rlly niceeee ! |
| Thnx! :3 |
| Man I can't see any of the list designs, I just see a white background, why is that? Do I need something special to view it? <_____< |
Music is about enjoying sound~| You need UNOBTAINIUMMMMMM |
poketonip said: You need UNOBTAINIUMMMMMM Yeah sure...whatever. :) |
| Nice list Mimi_Taylor, <3 Spice & Wolf :) Wondering why you don't want the category totals to appear tho. Do you fear it won't flow right with the list? And also, even tho I can understand it can somehow distract from the list, I personally feel the mal top bar is useful. And if it stays at the top, you see it for like 2 seconds anyway :) Other than that, good job! |

I'm just experimenting around and I kinda miss clicking back to my profile on it. =P So I think I will add it back. As for the category totals, yeah. They don't look right to me so I try to blend them in the background image as best I can. >< |
| Just finished my first list design. Nothing fancy. Best viewed in 1280x800. :3  |
| Finally got around to making my anime list (.net). Let me know what you guys think and if you run it any bugs, don't hesitate to let me know (it's nearly 4 a.m., so I'm sure I screwed up somewhere). @valesti: 10/10 for the 'nice and simple' theme, with bonus marks for Yamamoto. ;) |
| Made my anime and manga list styles awhile ago, but never bothered to post here for some feedback (until now). So yea, let me know what you guys think! @Aerolite: It's awesome. The colors go well to together and I like the reflection style you gave for the categories. The only "problem" I noticed is that Zack's face in the background is cut off, but it might just be because our screen sizes are different. |
| @Dust2Dust : Somewhat, lol. I originally planned on having Angeal, Genesis, or Reno as one of the last two headers. But, the Angeal and Genesis' renders looked boring, and a part of Reno's head was cut off. Made me cry, so I had to settle for the XIII characters (I liked their renders :P). ZeroBreaker : Thanks, and about Zack's face, refer to valesti's post. Your anime/manga list are also awesome! The colors are properly co-ordinated, plus, Persona 3. xD @Siva : Thanks :D @valesti : Thanks, and as I said to Dust2Dust, I ran out of good renders so I settled for XIII characters (but damn, I forgot about Sephiroth LOL). |
| Awesome list Aerolite. Like someone else mentioned, I love the reflection of the category headers! Pretty neat~ o.o And Zerobreaker, u have a kool list too. =O I really like the abstract look that it has. |

| So I tried to do some css for the first time. I still have no idea what I'm doing. I made my design for 1440x900, not sure if it looks right on larger resolutions. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated. @mimi_taylor: Your list is cute. I like the apples. Still need to watch Spice&Wolf :x |
| @valeseti - Oh, haha. Yea, I figured it may be something simple like that lol. About the borders, do you think a different shade of blue would look better or maybe remove them entirely? I thought it was fine, but improvements are always a plus. xD @aerolite, mimi_taylor - Thanks a lot! =D @kusuri - I like the design. The font style and pictures give it a very "fun" feeling. Although the totals at the bottom are a little tough to read. And are you planning to add the titles for your other sections or is it meant to only be for the currently watching section? |

Thanks for the feedback. |
| @Kusuri: Thanks! And I have to say, your list looks really cool. o_o And ish your first time using CSS? Wow.. I love the colors, and I agree that it has a very fun feeling to it. x3 My only suggestion is that you give the text and images an outline (like a glow or shadow) so that they look better against the busy background. And you can view your list on larger screen resolutions here: http://www.viewlike.us/ Haha and I need to continue watching Spice and Wolf.. :x I've been stuck on episode 6 forever. |
| @Mimi_Taylor : Thanks, your list is great as well. |
| Added title banners. Couldn't find a suitable picture that matched for completed :< @mimi_taylor: ty. Yup, first time. I put some outlines on the titles. It looks a lot neater. Thanks for the link. |
