Love can cure your problems, you're so lucky I'm around

It's 3 am and I have finally, finally, after about 14 combined hours of toil, beat the damn CSS code for my LJ into submission.

This redesign was a bear--I went with more CSS graphics than I usually do which required math to lay them out so they all matched up. But. Vini, vidi, vici! And it's been tested in Firefox and Safari on the Mac by me and ( Read more... )

It's beautiful, and I am in awe of your talent. I'd give an arm to be able to do this. It's so CLEAN and SHARP and yet PRETTY. *sigh*

(Incidentally, it's slightly broken over here, but I'm willing to bet it's my resolution doing that, which is pretty unpopular. So whatever. :))

CSS is actually a lot easier to learn than people think, but you have to play around a lot with it. Most of it is trial and error, making tiny changes a few pixels here and there. *g*

Hm...it could be your resolution; that and browser settings can skew CSS a bit, depending. How's it breaking?

I have had a poke at it, but I had to conclude I don't have the patience anymore. I used to be quite good at learning new coding etc but it's all just letters. I'm old. *g*

The centre panel (journal itself, including header graphic), is about a centimetre half an inch below the background, so the lines don't line up. And the rounded edges of this reply box don't quiiite line up with the text, but that's absolutely minute. FYI, I'm running Firefox 3.5.2 on Windows Vista, and my resolution is 1920x1080 (widescreen).

I have absolutely no idea why it's doing that. I'll have to sleep on it and see if I can figure it out tomorrow....

The same applies to me - Chrome on Vista (1680x1050 screenres) - but it is gorgeous!

Hm. I'm thinking it might be a widescreen issue, which will be hard for me to troubleshoot since none of the computers I have access to display widescreen resolutions.

Damn.

Woo! FYI, came back to perv on the layout again and now it lines up perfectly. Glorious. :D

Okay, I made a couple of wee tweaks in the CSS that I think might have been causing the issue. If you get a chance can you let me know if that cleared it up for you? Merci, dear. :D

Damn. Then I have no idea what's causing that.

count me in on this issue as well - running Firefox3 on a WindowsXP machine, with a widescreen monitor.
