THEME 002: Calling Card




NOTABLE FEATURES

  • Styled comment and icon pages
  • Nav bar hidden until hover
  • Fluid width
  • Responsive header
  • 8 color schemes
  • Optimized for Chrome, but also tested in Firefox and Edge


  • HOW TO INSTALL THE THEME

    1. PLEASE NOTE! This theme requires both a TITLE AND SUBTITLE to look right. The subtitle is the large text you see in the header.

    2. Read my Terms of Use. By continuing installation, you are agreeing to full compliance with these terms.

    3. From the Select Journal Style page, choose the Plain theme for Tabula Rasa.

    4. On the same page, scroll down to section 3. Choose a Page Setup and select 1 Column (modules at bottom; no sidebar).

    5. Click Customize Selected Theme at the bottom right.

    6. On the Presentation tab, scroll all the way down and select icons from the last 3 drop-down menus.

    7. On the Modules tab, make sure that Profile, Navigation, and Style Credit are all selected and placed in the Main Module Section. (Note: The Profile module is optional, but if you do want it on the layout, it must be placed in the Main Module Section.)

    8. Also in the Modules tab, select additional desired modules for the Main Module Section or Secondary Module Section, if any. These will appear at the bottom of the theme.

    9. On the Custom CSS tab, deselect "Use layout's stylesheet(s)" (there should be NO CHECKMARK), paste the code for your chosen color scheme into "Use embedded CSS" and save.

    PROFESSOR



    CABBAGE ROSE



    DECORUM



    HI-FI



    LAST RESORT



    PATISSERIE



    SALUT



    SCRUNCHIE


    CUSTOMIZATIONS


    Remove the large first letter in posts:
    Open the code in a text editor like Notepad. Search for .entry-content:first-letter. Then remove all of the following:
    .entry-content:first-letter {
    float: left;
    color: #3f424d;
    font-family: 'Times New Roman', Georgia, serif;
    font-size: 75px;
    padding: 4px 4px 3px 0;
    }


    Color hex codes:
    "Professor" is the easiest scheme to find and replace the colors on.

    #3f424d

    #b7c1c2

    #f2f2f2


    ENJOY!


    If you decide to use this theme, I'd love to know, and would particularly love to see it in action if you care to link the journal! Please feel free to ask questions about this theme in the comments to this post.

    Known Issues:

    - The links for post headers do not work. This has to do with the way I positioned the icon; I may or may not fix this later.

    - In Chrome, the post's icon overlaps the post title a little when the title is extremely long.

    - In Edge, the comment content overlaps the comment interaction/link bar.

    - On reading pages, entries from feeds have content overlapping the header. FIXED: CODE HERE.

    this is lovely. you had me at professor.

    one customisation i can't work out is how to not show the user icon without ruining the positioning of everything else. is that possible? or, if not, is it possible to display it at a smaller size?

    thank you very much.

    Hello, lovely theme, first of all!

    Secondly, I was wondering if you could give me some way to remove the headers (and most of the space between the top and the first entry) in the layout without it removing all the space at the top and cutting off the top of the icon? I feel sure it must be something in this section of code:

    #header, #footer {
    margin: 0;
    clear: both;
    padding: .5em;
    }

    #header {
    background: transparent;
    padding: 18vh 0;
    text-align: center;

    }

    h1#title span {
    background: #b7c1c2;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 70%;
    font-size: 3.3vmin;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    padding: 0 10px;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    }

    h1#title {
    margin-bottom: -29px;
    }

    h2#subtitle {
    border-top: 1px solid #fff;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
    color:#fff;
    font-family: 'Archivo Narrow', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 500%;
    font-size: 11.3vmin;
    font-weight: 700;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    line-height: 80%;
    margin:0 auto;
    padding: 50px 0 55px 0;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    width:70%;
    }

    h2#pagetitle span {
    background: #b7c1c2;
    font-size: 90%;
    font-size: 3.3vmin;
    font-weight: normal;
    letter-spacing:2px;
    padding: 0 10px;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    }

    h2#pagetitle {
    margin-top: -27px;
    }


    I added a display: none; under the #header portion, since that's worked with other layouts, but that just results in moving the entry all the way to the top of the page with no margin and cutting off the top of the icon. I thought adding in a margin-top: somewhere would fix this, but I haven't any idea where to put it.

    Apologies for being a newb lol, still learning css.

    Oh, I got it! But for anyone else who is curious, I made the following changes to the code above:

    /* HEADER & FOOTER */

    #header, #footer {
    margin: 0;
    clear: both;
    padding: 20px;
    }

    #header {
    background: transparent;
    padding: 25px;
    text-align: center;

    }

    h1#title span {
    background: #b7c1c2;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 70%;
    font-size: 3.3vmin;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    padding: 0 10px;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    }

    h1#title {
    display: none;
    }

    h2#subtitle {
    display: none;
    }

    h2#pagetitle span {
    background: #b7c1c2;
    font-size: 90%;
    font-size: 3.3vmin;
    font-weight: normal;
    letter-spacing:2px;
    padding: 0 10px;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    }

    h2#pagetitle {
    display: none;
    }


    Of course, the layout maker may have a better way of doing it.

    This is gorgeous! And that purple...sigh~~~ :-)

    I may need to make the center column/journal box wider so it isn't three words wide on my phone, but I think I can probably figure out how to do that. Will see!

    So pretty!

    So, the first letter cap looks like this. When I remove it, the icons get shoved way left. :( Halp?

    I love this theme! I just had a question, if you are not busy: my reading page is mostly feeds at this point, and for feed posts, it's like... stacking the subject, links and beginning of the post all on top of each other. I think part of the problem is the way DW displays the link to the original post both at the beginning and end of the post. Is there any way to hide the first set of links, or otherwise finagle it so they don't all get smushed? You can see if you look on my reading page: https://jeweledeyes.dreamwidth.org/read

    Thank you so much! Your themes are so beautiful!

    I'm using the code at [community profile] aubigbang and it looks weird on the imported entries from Livejournal since they don't have icons, but I can't wait to use it for new entries! I changed the colors to match my usericon I imported but I love it. It's so pretty.

    I love this! Using decorum plus a blue on [community profile] lovestruckletters but i'm still setting it up. Thanks for your hard work!

    hello! i'm using this theme for my journal, with the cabbage rose color scheme. the only thing i've customized is to change the border color to be the same as the background color on the top/sides of the page.

    all of my journal entries are private, so i've credited you in my profile.

    Hi there, I am loving this layout so much, thank you so much for making it and sharing it, especially all the variations, too! I do have a bit of an issue, it doesn't seem to be very image friendly? https://i.gyazo.com/548b60e8d3b43d36eb982fe69bb09ad3.png This happened and I'm not quite sure how to fix it. i've played with different widths, to no avail. Any advice on the matter you could give on the matter would be helpful and appreciated.
