I’m back, I studied CSS and PHP more thoroughly and can make completely parsable, error-free and more visually appealing web designs now

I will be fixing my old themes and working on new, more complicated themes

I have a 3 column posts theme in progress, but it might be hard to keep below the size limit with the image sizing junk

I’m about to release a bug-fixed version (the theme garden allows updates, I’m pretty sure) that eliminates over 10 issues with the theme. If you come off of Anonymous, I could link you to the current text file?

(I hope you don’t mind me also answering this publicly for reference’s sake)

I must have forgotten about that. Press ctrl + F and search for this URL:

It’s the image that creates the checkering effect over the background.

Bare Bones by Kooloo - A base code Template for theme making!

Yes, you can use this code to tweak and make your own themes!
Yes, you can remove the credit if you change the theme drastically!
No, you cannot publicly release themes you make using this code!

This theme is so basic, I’m almost ashamed of it. (I didn’t have time to do anything more complex)

This theme is designed with original content and art blogs in mind, not reblog blogs. While all the backgrounds are customizable, and the theme itself is more malleable than the other three, it has almost no “beginner” level options. All options are in the source code.

This blog features:

1. Choose your own favicon!! (That’s the icon up at the top of the browser by your blog title. Tumblr usually makes your avatar the favicon by default.)
2. 600 pixel posts, 500 pixel posts
3. Easy-to-read HTML 4 transitional arrangement for the fledgling theme designer.
4. 5 colors
5. 3 backgrounds
6. Custom links have to be done using the NORMAL Custom links entry that comes with your blog. They are all on the sidebar.

In most operating systems, the default selection color is blue or orange. 

Example: 

On your blog, you can choose what color highlighted text will be using the following:

BE SURE TO INCLUDE MORE THAN JUST CHROME!! Copy all three, not just one.

       
::selection,
a::selection,
img::selection {
 background: YOUR COLOR HERE;
 color: #ffffff;
}

::-moz-selection {
 background: YOUR COLOR HERE;
 color: #ffffff; 
}

::-webkit-selection {
 background: YOUR COLOR HERE;
 color: #ffffff; 
}

The selection on my theme is #5a2869  !!

Be sure to replace “YOUR COLOR HERE” with a hex code for your color. (What are hex codes?) Also be sure not to paste these inside the brackets for another element. If you’re still not sure where to paste them, feel free to send me an ask. I’ll help you add it.

Now in the theme garden!

In the spacey starry version, some backgrounds are partially transparent. You can do this, too, by uploading this image as the post background. This will leave text at full opacity for readability.

I highly recommend you do not host the image straight out of DeviantART using a URL, as some browsers like Tor will not be able to retrieve the image, and your posts will become completely invisible.
