Sticky Post Background *HACK*

[danielefton]

I was just curious as to how, if it's even possible, to add a background image to the sticky post, and not to other entries.

You can see what I currently have at livebackward. Code is now live and more updated at my own journal

Sure, you can post an image in the sticky post. People do it all the time with "friends only" banners and such. But, if you're talking about something like a tiled background, with the actual sticky post text superimposed, that would be a little more difficult. As it is now, there's no way through CSS only to style the sticky post separately (except for the subject line). You'd have to make a few changes to the layer code to do it properly.

I thought that was going to be the solution.

I'm wondering if I can place the image in the background property of the #alpha-inner css and use background-position: xpos ypos; to place it exactly where I want it. Of course if I changed the content of my sticky post I would have to change the code.

This is something I'll have to try.

moving the background image from .asset-inner to the #alpha-inner with background-position: xpos ypos; code worked perfectly. I've updated my post to include this little hack.
