Lured by the promise of more exciting functionality, I switched over to a core2 layout. I have been fiddling and tweaking at my level of customization understanding, which is basically "what colors shall I make things?" and "do I like this font?" I mostly like what I have, which is Bases theme with a 1 Column set-up. Things I wish for that I do not know how to do:

• I wish ?style=mine, which I use a lot, would put entries in site scheme. Preferably Celerity (which is my chosen site scheme) solved!


• I would like the icons to display on the left instead of the right. In general, but specifically on my read page. solved!


• I... huh. No, I've fixed that one. Go me.


• ETA: I have my font set to tiny because, uh, I hate scrolling? In any case: is it possible to scale the user head icons like in front of jmtorres so that they fit in the text line rather than making everything look double-spaced? solved!


• Uh, where is the setting that makes emphasized italicized text a different color (hover link color, as far as I can tell?) and how do I turn it off? I would prefer my emphasized italic text to just be italic. Test: use of the <em> tag, use of the <i> tag fixed!/ETA

Advice?

The first would be neat, and may be one of the things under consideration though I'm not sure about that.

The second you can do by putting this into your Custom CSS:

.has-userpic .entry .userpic { float: left; }

[jmtorres]

BRILLIANT.

*extrapolates .has-userpic .comment .userpic { float: left; } and adds that as well* (since apparently I'm going to be looking at entry pages in Bases for the time being...)

Thank you!

Go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options.bml -- uncheck "Show entry pages in my journal style rather than the app style", save. Voila.

[jmtorres]

Yup, that's checked. It puts them (as I thought it was meant to?) in Bases, my journal style, rather than site scheme/Celerity.

There's two different interrelated options at work here. One is the "do my own entry pages show in journal style or in sitescheme" option; the other is ?style=mine, which is "use my style". If you have the option checked so your journal is set to customized comment pages, any comment page you view with ?style=mine will be in your style. If you de-select the option so your journal uses sitescheme, which I really have no idea why it's called app style wtf, comment pages with ?style=mine will show in sitescheme.

... the i/em thing is a bit lolsome, but can be fixed with adding custom CSS:

i { color: #323232; }

[synecdochic]

Right, but you said you wanted to see comment pages in site scheme? ...I'm confused. If you check that box, comment pages with ?style=mine will show in Bases. If you uncheck that box, they'll show in Celerity.

Hi! I can't read!

[snakeling]

Here from the network. It only works on DW, but ?style=default puts the entries in your site scheme :)

.has-userpic .entry .userpic { float:right !important; }
.ljuser img { width: 12px; height: 12px; }

Fiddle with the width and height until you're happy with it.

You've got an example for the emphasized thing?

[snakeling]

Dude, go me for reading the wrong way. Ignore the first line of the code, then :)

[jmtorres]

ETA'd the entry again. Turns it is it use of the <i> tag, not the <em> tag that gets the weird color effect. Still want it off!

....Also, I am replying the comments page instead of from email and discovering it's italic in this comment box. WTF.

[ysobel]

...that would be more random markups from the style. Specifically, they have

textarea { margin: 0.5em; padding: 0.5em; border: 0.083em solid #dddddd; background: #e1efff; color: #323232; font: italic 1em georgia;}

which you can unitalicize by more custom CSS:

textarea { font-style: normal; }

[jmtorres]

Hee, I do care less now that I have sitescheme entry pages! *smooches you*
