INSTALLING THE THEME
- Go to Your Layers under Advanced Customization. Under "Create a style-specific layer", select Type: Theme and Style: Practicality. Click "Create."
- Your new blank theme is under your layers list. Click "Edit" under Actions. Make sure you're clicking the right item (the Type should be "theme" and the Name is "(none)").
- Delete everything in the main window (i.e. it has layerinfo "type" = "theme"; in it). Paste in the text below. Click "Save & Compile" on top. (If it doesn't compile, go back and make sure you picked type "theme.")
- Go to Your Custom Layers under Select Style. Find the theme called "Egotist" and click "Apply Theme." (Select/Customize Style is also where you can set your Journal Title and Subtitle, if you haven't done that yet.)
CUSTOMIZING YOUR LAYOUT
- To add the custom sidebar header: go to Text under Customize Style. Find Text for the 'Custom Text' box, paste in the text below, and click "Save Changes." Replace the text with your own content. You can edit the image by going to Custom CSS (see below).
- To customize your layout:
- Insert image URLs in Custom CSS. Find and replace HEADER_IMAGE_URL with your header image. The header image defaults to 150x150 but can be resized in the CSS just below the HEADER_IMAGE_URL line. Find and replace SIDEBAR_IMAGE_URL with your sidebar image. The image height can adjusted below that line.
- Edit the colours (and edit the navstrip colours)
- Add background image(s). The Custom CSS features optional code if you want to stretch your body background image to fit or fix it in place, just delete the
/*and*/on those lines to use it. - Show/hide sidebar modules and rearrange the order.
- Change display fonts. By default, this layout uses "Rock Salt" and "BioRhyme" but you can swap those out in the embedded fonts stylesheet URL. You can change font sizes here too.
- A few things you might also want to do:
- Disable customized comment pages: Go to Display Settings, scroll down to Entry Page Default: Your Journal and uncheck the box. Then go to Entry Pages: Shown to You and swap that over to "Site skin."
- Disable the contextual hover over icons: Go to Display Settings, scroll down to Hover Menu and change the dropdown to "Nothing."
- There are a few other optional features in Custom CSS, which have been annotated.
Please ask below if you have any questions! I'm always happy to help people customize this layout if they want something in particular.
