Server Downtime

gossymer wrote in noveltybox Mar 07, 2013 10:36

This is a headsup regarding the downtime for noveltybox's stylesheets: the host I've been using (flaredhost.com) has been down for over a week and has been unresponsive to email so far. My backups aren't the latest versions of the files on the servers but I'll try to get them online soon in any case as soon as I switch to an alternative server. I'm ( Read more... )

Horizon: Mellow Mint (Userscript)

gossymer wrote in noveltybox Oct 06, 2010 18:56

Was using the LJ banner script by daluci for some time now and ended up writing more css to restyle Horizon completely so 1) its more streamlined and 2) I don't get a visual surprise every month with a new LJ banner (which can sometimes be terrible TBH)

Style: Revamped Horizon site scheme for livejournal (all accounts)

Icon guide: Photoshop action, tips & mini tut

gossymer wrote in noveltybox Apr 15, 2009 05:19

Since people were curious about my coloring in the FMA icons post and since I rarely make icons anyway, here is a Photoshop CS3 action to automatically change the coloring of images (preferably high quality anime screencaps).

I've also added some tips and a mini tutorial on resizing and sharpening.

LJ skinning...

Heya guys! Been a while since a layout post but have a few things in the works :) Though I did get distracted yesterday by another bit of shiny.

boundary posted a userscript HERE to mintyapple for replacing all the old mini-icons all over the LJ website with prettier stuff (at least for firefox and opera users XD)

Profile: Desktop Journal

No need to specify any width - the table will stretch according to the width of your browser window, just like the new lj profile. You are free to edit the contents of the journal area - add more pictures, leave one of the pages blank, have very little text, whatever.

The only rule is to comment & credit.

Notice: Two fixes to codes :)

gossymer wrote in noveltybox Dec 16, 2008 11:47

Just a note for people using the following codes...

Fix for Profile Layout: Color Stripes version 2.0

Actually, I'd updated the codes a day or two after posting but forgot to put up a notice.

So, if your friends lists and communitiy lists usernames are currently showing up with underlines, you need to replace a single line of code...
