Metadata, Sidebar, Entry Subject, Icons, Misc.

Hi, I'm an absolute newbie with Flexible squares and CSS. I managed to make MOST of the changes I wanted myself using some guides (this community included), all doing nothing else but this for two days, but there are a few I simply have no idea what to do with (or get lost in the CSS coding).

I used this layout with "Black and White and Red All Over

The first two require a paid account and using theme layers where you'd have to make those changes to the original source code.

3. I'm pretty sure this one is doable with CSS, but I've never dealt with the adds (using AdBlock when logged out and having a paid account), so I'll have to pass on this question, because I don't have the time to figure it out at the moment.

4. Well, you can't remove the user name just on the entry page without a theme layer/paid account as far as I know, but I can offer you some sort of "compromise" closer to the look you want than what you have now. You can change the background color to black simply changing background-color: #000000; to background-color: #000000 !important; in the section .userpicfriends

Since the text of the user name and comm names will be displayed on black background with this solution, I'll recommend adding this code to change the text color:

.userpicfriends a font {
color: #370000;
}

.userpicfriends a:hover font {
color: #370000;
}

5. That

1. & 2.: UNGH, I thought FS would be a better choice, but other than looking kinda good they're useless in so many ways *grumbles*

3.: I use adblock too, that's why the effing frames get on my nerves, I don't see any ads, but those damn frames are still there.

4.: YES! Awesome, thanks! That's exactly what I wanted! *bounces*
Is it possible to make the icon stay put? So when the subject has more lines it won't move up?

5.: Sweet! Thank you! *hugs* Any clue why the titles (Tags, Page Summary) aren't centered? The lines and the text underneath are, but the titles aren't :( Did I leave something out in the coding?

3. Well, maybe taking a look here might help? Using Firebug would probably give you some idea about the CSS code you'd need to change.0

4. Glad this solution works for you! No, I don't think there's an easy CSS-based tweak for that, sorry!

5. At least that one is easy! You have a padding-left in your code for the sidebar titles:

li.sbartitle
{
padding-left: 15px;
list-style: none;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 3px;
border-color: #000000 #000000 #720000 #000000;
background-color: #000000;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
align: center;
}

Remove padding-left: 15px; and your titles will be perfectly centered.

3. Worked! :D

4.: Damn those floating non-fixed icons! *shakes fist at them*

5.: Done, didn't work :(
