Theme layer

Nov 28, 2006 21:09

I don't really know how to describe this, but I'll try to be as clear as I can.

Okay, I created my very first Bloggish layout with the help of a template by thefulcrum.
The CSS is no problem. I installed it without any problems, choosing (None) as theme and setting Use layout's "Base Weblog" stylesheet to NO. (see my LJ)

Then I went to create a theme layer, and used some tutorials from this community to add extra modules and change the labels in the meta-data (compiled without errors). I created my style and then went back to the Look and Feel tab, and changed the theme from (None) to my created layer. So, I would think it would be alright, but when I watch it I see that it uses the Powell Stylesheet again as a reference and it messes my whole page up. (see style).

Do I need to add an extra piece of code in the theme layer, so it won't use this base-stylesheet?
layerinfo "type" = "theme";
layerinfo "name" = "Centre of the Universe";

set text_meta_mood = "Feeling";
set text_meta_music = "Hearing";
set text_meta_location = "Being";

function Entry:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Gawariel/emoticons/tongue.gif">rint_metadata() {
if (size $.metadata) {
"""\n";
}
}

Also, I have some more questions for the theme layer:
  • Can I get rid of the list of tags in the sidebar?
  • Can you add more then 3 extra modules or is that the limit?
  • Can you put your mood-icon in front of the entire meta-data?

That's all
.

Thanks in advance
