This is a custom layout for modern template lists. If you don't know how to install the codes, click here to view the Beginner's Tutorial.
If there are problems: install the latest version, or check the Repair Thread for patches and updates (found here).
All premade modern layouts can be found in the gallery by clicking here, and more ways to customize your list can be found here.
I recently started to watch anime and because i wanted to experiment a bit with CSS precompilers, i decided it would be fun to create my own theme thingy.
Of course this isn't much fun when i can't share it with anyone so i put everything on github and built it in a way so everyone can use it and customize it and have fun with it.
Support for custom headers using the MAL background selector
All controls still in place and fully functional (with the exception of the More button)
Shows Title, Status (Watched, Planned etc), Episodes, Big Images, User Score, Season, Type (TV, Movie etc), Rating (PG-13, R etc)
Additionally supports sorting by Aired Dates, Watched Dates, Storage, Priority
Installation
In your MAL Account Settings open the Tab List Style Design, select Modern, click on the Default Theme and hit Save.
Go to the Lists tab and decide on which information to show. At least Episodes and Image is required. Optional but highly recommended is Score, Premiered, Type and Rating. Additionally the following fields will just give you additional sort options but the data is not shown in this theme: Aired Dates, Start/End Dates, Storage and Priority. Don't forget to click the Save button!
Go to List Style Design again and click on the preview image of the Default Theme.
On the left side expand Add Custom CSS and paste in the following code:
Select "No" next to "Show cover image" or upload a custom banner using the Cover Image selector and change the 150px in the css to the height of your image (to align the profile icons). The banner is the part that is shown above the list.
(optional) When using a bright banner, you might wanna change the button icons and the text from #ffffff (white) to a darker color in the css to make them more visible.
(optional) Use a custom background image by expanding "Background Image" and upoading your own image. The background image will be shown behind the list.
Click preview and check how it will look and when you are happy with it, click save and enjoy your fancy new MAL page.
For the traditional whole heart icons behind your scores as in the pic above (they were changed by the website to a heart outline) use this version: https://pastebin.com/raw/Uju0DZNC
Thank you so much but can i maybe ask you to update the backup?
Problem is previously the CSS was referencing two assets which where also hosted on my github (the default header background and a font used for the MyAnimeList link) and those where included using a relative URL.
So when using the backup those couldnt be loaded :(
I changed it so those are not needed anymore and the css is now self-contained.

Ah yes, absolutely. Good changes!
For anyone randomly reading: you want to always backup the CSS all over because when a layout's source is lost the images, colors, fonts can be nearly or even perfectly replaced, but the written codes cannot be replaced. It's very hard to emulate a layout on screenshots alone. So you should always back up your CSS. I usually back up layouts for designers now due to seeing so many lost for a million reasons. Even Github could go down one day and all it's info be lost!
I changed the css output to make it more readable and put the stuff that most people might wanna change to the top and dropped the inline font.
The backup is now part of my original post so you don't have to update it for me :D
thx!
i changed the style a bit when you move your mouse over the covers.
instead of increasing the cover size it's now adding a shadow.
i would be interested if you like this better or not.
imho it's a bit more in tune with the rest of the theme this way.
you will get my changes automatically when you use the @import as in my original post. if you dont want this, copy the entire css from the links at the end ;)
You're welcome! :D
One small thing: I would suggest to choose "No" for "Show cover image" on the theme settings (or upload your own banner).
The default MAL image doesnt work so well with this theme.
I changed the installation instructions to point this out.
Hey man I just used this style looks really good.Just one quick question the writings are all white is there a way to change the colour of the writings?Anyways gr8 job bro :D
For the text and the buttons in the header theres a description on how to do it in my original post:
6. When using a bright banner, you might wanna change the button icons and the text from #ffffff (white) to a darker color in the css to make them more visible.
So for example to make the buttons and the text grey you can use:
Updated the code in the OP so other users and ppl logged out could see the CSS again, and also to show covers again. Hope that's ok, as we have to for club member's sake
I dunno; install it and see what happens? Seems like it should. Worst case usually is it won't say All Manga but All Anime.
I've tried and it "works". I have no visual problems but the manga covers has a lower quality than the original one.
Here you can see a capture:
(Right click and open in a new tab to see the problem correctly)
I believe this is due to your mangalist being private. The tool that generates high resolution cover images can only operate when your list is public. Your animelist is public but your mangalist is restricted.
GenericGoose said: I think your images are fine now. It just takes a little while for the image script to pick up your list and generate the high resolution covers.

How long does it usually take?
Just a few hours usually.
But i noticed that you copied the css from the links provided at the bottom and those werent updated to the MAL changes. I fixed that now, so please copy the css again (only the imports on top have changed. those are responsible for the high quality image loading).

Just one little thing: I would suggest you to set "Show cover image" to No (as explained in point 5 in the Installation instructions) ;)

PS: I apologize for my english, i am italian
edit: why can't i see the tags?
hey, do you mean the header colors?
you can either upload your own banner image or add the following to the bottom of your CSS to give it some colors:
Meanwhile, thank you for the answer. for now I have slightly changed the codes (it took me about 6 hours ..,i'm not kidding) by dint of modifying them by chance i succeeded more or less as you see here https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Taduin?status=1&order=4&order2=0 .I would like to make a change in another theme that i found in the forum but i'm not able to, would you be willing to help me? you don't have to change the images, i just want the written tags to be shown (this is a normal theme, without the cover like this)
Can anyone help me?
I'm using this layout and when I try to use advanced settings while in my list, it doesn't work and appears a message saying "myanimelist.net refused to establish connection".

The question may look stupid for a CSS coder, but is there a way to make a very small change to this layout for myself ?
By default, the heart (for the rating) has no background color, so scoring may be difficult to see depending on the anime cover (example below).
