ooc. LAYOUT POST | Minimalism: "Basic Functionality"

[stoppedhiding]

I am no longer using Livejournal. I will no longer be updating this code except to fix serious bugs. Feel free to take it and fix it up as you like.(I've decided that "Basic Functionality" is the name of this layout. Because when LJ is a dick to its users, its users get to be dicks right back

Hi, you don't know me, but I'm seeing your stretched username thing, too.

To fix it, you should be able to do this:

.username {
width: 115px !important;
}

At least, that's what worked for me using my LiveCSSEditor extension in Chrome.

[stoppedhiding]

It didn't do a thing, sadly. If .username is what controls that, though, maybe I can figure it out... Thanks.

[infinitegraces]

I hope you can get it figured out!

If you change the username font to arial, it shouldn't show up stretched. I've also changed the subject header font to arial as well because personally I think verdana makes it too heavy :)

[sostaygold]

To change the font for entries, use:

.content .entry .entry-text {
font-family:Verdana, Georgia, serif;
}

I have it set to Verdana but yeah just change that to whatever you want -- the other two afterward don't really matter.

[stoppedhiding]

Thanks! I'll add that to the post.

For the overflow:hidden problem, here.

It seems like adding overflow:visible to the extra code should make it work?

[stoppedhiding]

Oh, well, that's pretty blatantly obvious. wtg me. Thanks!

[pineapplesalmon]

Thank you for this! At least I can sorta use LJ again now.

[stoppedhiding]

You're welcome! There are still a few kinks I'm trying to work out, but I hope it works well for you!

I am so thinking of making a post in the OOC comm linking to this. Think I should?

To the OP: THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥ ♥ ♥

[pineapplesalmon]

I was thinking about maybe doing that. Wanted to give a mod a chance first. But yes, this should be linked.

Hello Subject

[amazingentry]

Hi, sorry to intrude, I'm just posting something here to see what your layout looks like with the subject header used.

Also what the font tag looks like

Amazing subject.

[stalwartcane]

This person is an amazing, I have to say.

Re: Hello Subject

[stoppedhiding]

Oh, there's a problem. :|a NOT ONE YOU CAN SEE, but for me the bar is now taller than your userpic (since I have IP logging on). I should try and fix that, but in the meantime it's not a huge issue.

[amazingentry]

Hahaha! I'm glad to have been helpful with troubleshooting, then!

yay for subject lines

I came here from the link at lj-releases - thanks so much for doing this! :)

I thought I'd also post a link, in case anyone else looking here wanted something similar: this comment, with the "entry-mylj.user.js" script.

It's a modified GreaseMonkey script which automatically adds "style=mine" to entry pages - so if you set your journal up to this layout and install the script, you should see this style of comment pages on every entry across LiveJournal.

I've been using it for a couple of hours now, and it doesn't seem to be buggy. Really useful for people who don't have a paid account, and so can't select "view all journals and communities in my own style".

I've also noticed that when you put ?format=light on the end of URLs that have custom comment pages disabled, it removes the scroll bar that's at the bottom. You can see how it looks here.
