@zeper ~

You'll want a:link and possibly a:visited then...

a:link
{
color: #ffffff;
}

...should make links white.

hello, kind people of mal

the thing is, i want to have multiple backgrounds for my list so that every time i open my list a different image shows up.
like when i open my list imgA shows up, and when i refresh it imgB shows up and so on . . . , you feelin' me?
i know it's possible (at least i think it is?)
question is, how do i go about doing so, are there any image hosts for this, or is this even allowed?

For some reason, even when I get rid of all of the lines of the table for my list (0px for every side, whenever it shows up in general list editing), I still get a line on the left side of my table that I want to get rid of. Any ideas to fix it / what I'm doing wrong? I've done nothing with CSS, as I have no idea how it works.

I was just wondering hot to actually proper make a list design of your own. I've seen oother users with amazing list designs and i was wondering how to do it?

I can do the basic stuff for it as you can see on my anime list but i want to do designs similar to these people that posted on the List Design Updated .

Also, if you can make a tutorial, that would be a great help! ^.^

You've set your list to private, giving us this message:
"This list has been made private by the owner. Only they may view it."

List designs can be customized by the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), of which I reckon are millions of tutorials.

Oh yhh, i forgot that i had my list private. Something is going wrong with my list that's why i've put it on private for a while.

Will you be able to give me a link on how to do the CSS? I just can't seem to understand on how it works at all -.-

Yeah, we can't see your list, but nvm.

Anyway, those list designs you've been seeing on MAL are customized using CSS.

There are several tutorials on MAL, so for starters I suggest you check these links out:
BEGINNERS TUTORIAL ON CSS AND CUSTOMIZING YOUR LIST
Pre-Made CSS For Your Anime List!
Anime/Manga List Tutorials

Then, there's this club that should be useful:
Shishio's Custom Lists and Profiles (CSS help)
especially this FAQ
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) + ask your questions here!

That should be enough. I'm sure there are more useful blogs and topics but am too lazy look for them now >.<

First, are you using mal's style editor or a custom style where you input the css directly?

If you go to list settings and choose to edit your style, there's a field under general to set the opacity:


If you're using the custom CSS style editor, then just add the CSS to the corresponding block something like this:
#list_surround
{
margin: 0 auto;
width: 920px;
filter:alpha(opacity=75);
opacity: 0.75;
-moz-opacity:0.75;

}

I put in all the browser-specific ones for cross-browser compatibility, but 'opacity' alone is probably enough for recent browsers.

For the background, set background-attachment: fixed; under the BODY element in the style (the mal style editor has a field called 'Background-Attachment' as well).

Also, make sure you select the style here, or it won't get used:
http://myanimelist.net/editprofile.php?go=stylepref&do=changestyle
Styles you recently created will be the highest numbered one.

Using CSS it would look like this:
<pre>background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-color: #000000;
background-image:url(http://example.com/blah.png);
background-position: center;

css is for styling text, not changing content..... but you can sometimes hide the internal text and put text after it with the :after selector. I don't recommend doing so since the anime title part is meant to be used for sorting the list.

the general way to add a custom heading is to put an image as the heading backgrounds, above the table for each status. for example:


.header_title { visibility: hidden; }
.header_cw, .header_completed, .header_onhold, .header_dropped, .header_ptw {
display: block;
padding: 0; margin: 0;
height: 150px; /* height of heading background images - adjust as needed */
background: transparent none no-repeat left bottom;
}

.header_cw { background-image: url(http://yourimagehost/header_cw.png); }
.header_completed { background-image: url(http://yourimagehost/header_completed.png); }
.header_onhold { background-image: url(http://yourimagehost/header_onhold.png); }
.header_dropped { background-image: url(http://yourimagehost/header_dropped.png); }
.header_ptw { background-image: url(http://yourimagehost/header_ptw.png); }

Just set font-color on whichever block you want to change. To change the default on the whole page, do this...
body { font-color: #ff0000; }
You can also used named colors.... so font-color: red; is equivalent to the above. You already have colors specified for most stuff in your page, so those will override that.

For the most part you have to make your own. We can help you with parts you get stuck on, but you should take initiative in customizing your list -- because it's.... your list.

Well it's easier than you think. You can skim a lot just by looking through posts in this thread, or any of the various guides around. Admittedly the existing guides are pretty overwhelming to most, but they can point you in the right direction.

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=130580

The links to Ranivus' blog posts there are probably most useful to you. I disagree with the methods in some of them.... like using Word to format them. ~_~

Yeah that's the basic idea. You can't really add elements, so the idea is to put a top padding on the surrounding block and set a background that covers the space you made. The top header is the same principle as the individual status headers.

and it is possible to make your list bordered or rounded at the edges?( i know you would do it in a editing image software)

No.

I can't see your current style, since it's private atm, but you surely have a font-family or font set on a deeper element that is overriding your body style. It's called a Cascading Style Sheet because of the cascading inheritance of the blocks inside it. So, if you simply remove all the other font-family and font lines, it will inherit the font from your body tag. Hope it helps you~

StarSky said:

Regretfully you can't set multiple backgrounds for a single block (yet... css3 does allow for it but browsers don't support it well for now). What you can do is target any other blocks you can grab, perhaps surrounding that one, or grabbing individual spans or divs. If you really need a lot of them them, and can't work them into a single background, then you could grab elements inside the list rows that aren't used for much (like the spans for airing status, or cells in each row of a column you don't use... perhaps with the :nth-child selector, being careful to hide any that you don't use with a display: none).

StarSky said:

If you want to round the corners of the entire list and your design isn't broken between categories you can do something like:
#list_surround {
background: #ddd; /* or whatever you wish */

-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
}


If you want each category in a separate rounded block then you have to use images. Basically you attach the top corners to the bottom of the header background for each, and you set the bottom corners as the background for the .category_totals divs at the bottom of each. Set the height of each of these blocks to the height of your image so they line up properly. You just match them to the background of the individual list rows, That way it gives the illusion that they are one block.

For best transparency effect, use PNG-24 when you export from photoshop (or gimp or your choice of image editor). PNG-24 allows you to use alpha transparency which means your corners will look nice and smooth and transparent. This way you can put another background behind them and they'll show through. Older versions of IE might have issues with transparency however, which require some hacks if you care.

#list_surround {

}


That would move your list down 40 pixels. If your list is centered, then you should also center your background, because people at higher resolutions may not see the same thing you do:

That only applies to the text it seems, the links themselves doesn't seem to change.

Basically I've changed all the colours of the links in my list to white and it seems that have affected the links in the copyright
