OK- so, I've got a cutom theme started, and managed to get the date to change a bit more how I'd like it.

I'm trying to figure out how to do a few things. I've tried a couple things I've found in this lovely community, but so far no luck.

1. changing links colors (all of them, at least all in the content, header, and all the comment/add to

Comments

In 3. and 4., what do you want to change the text to?

For 6., if you want a divider between an entry and the next entry's title, do what linnet_101 said. If, OTOH, you mean putting a divider within an entry, between an entry's title/date and text, do something like this:

.asset-header {
border-bottom : 1px solid #fff;
}

for 3: Früher / Nächst

for 4: I'm happy with just a decorative thinger, or something like Keine Thema

Add the following to your custom theme source:

set text_skiplinks_back = "Fruher";
set text_skiplinks_forward = "Nachst";
(I'm assuming I have the German right)
"Back to Top" can't be changed with a few variables, nor can forcing "Keine Thema" if there's no subject-- you'll have to edit the print_body() and print_entry() S2 functions, respectively.

hm... I'm still learning s2... I know that in my previous journal style (opal libra) if there was no title it didn't print anything, but left the date in the date location. In the archive subject view, it just said "keine Thema" for those entries with no title.

I'm ok with editing things... I just don't really know what to edit.

[martygreene]

basically- if I can edit what generates the html, and can insert a tag after the bit that generates that section, I'd be in business. I'm unsure if that is something accessable to me though, if LJ even allows for that.

[martygreene]

hmm... that is close to what I want for a divider, however I wonder if there is a way to get that effect without it being the full width of the section? Like, maybe 1/3 of the content area would be plenty.

[av8rmike]

Forgot this one-- add
width: 33%; to the .asset-header{} block.

[martygreene]

well that worked, but also made the titles only 1/3 of the content, which looks a bit odd. I wonder if perhaps there is a way to work a modified horizontal rule in there somehow?
