I just thought in here it would be fun to talk about possibly some of the custom profiles members of this guild are creating. Ive just recently become interested in Profiles, and customising them, and Ive decided to make a labyrinth theme. Still in the process, but making slow progress. I figured out how to change the header LOL, and behind my av, and Ive also got a multimedia.

Anyone else? Thoughts comments questions? I know Ill have a few as I go along.

I love messing around with custom profiles. ^_^

I did the coding for Vilpax Jaganshi Gintoph's profile. And I did my own profile as well, including all the graphics and coding.

Now I have my friend Quantact wanting me to create a custom one for him with an Aurora Borealis theme. And he actually wants to pay for it which is cool, its one of my first "jobs" on Gaia where someone is paying me for my design work. ^_^

those are some custom profiles, Im still fooling around with mine LOL. Cause yeah Im horrible at it, but you never know I might do a good job once Im done. I currently hate my header, but that one is just temporary experimental one, Im hoping to get mine all done in black and white, but I need more good labyrinth screen captures. smile So Ill continue my search for them, and for good ccs coding guides LOL.

This has some really awesome pictures for a profile. 3nodding

I like playing around and seeing what can be done, and what codes do or don't work with certain things.

LOL Im finding Im enjoying it for the most part aswell. hehe and Ive already been to that site twice, ty for the link though smile Ive been doing searches on a lot of servers to find good images and the right sized images.

I just uploaded a new header though, and I like it much better then I like my original, the one I had up originally was just fooling around sort of thing. this one I think Ill keep and keep the black and white theme going for it, because I like the way it looks. though I may change my mind yet.

Well Im going to go keep fiddling, I think next Im going to figure out how to turn the background black.

Out of curiousity, does it matter what order the coding goes in? Or is it just so long as its there?

Did you check all your closers and brackets?? And did you specifiy how you wanted it to appear in your code (i.e. no-repeat, repeat fixed, repeat left, repeat right, etc)??

Ummm? hehe? *totally lost there*

I have the background sorta working now. but there is something wrong with it, when I scroll down the page, the picture doesnt stay behind the words, so only the words move over it...

Maybe this helps? this is what I have so far?


#profile .avatar, #profile .caption .message {background: #000000;}
#extendedProfileBody #header h1 { background: #000 url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/aileenshome/Labyrinthheader.jpg) top center no-repeat; border: 0px; }
#extendedProfileBody
{ background: #000000; }
#content { background: #000 url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/aileenshome/labyrinthbackground.jpg) fixed no-repeat;
border: none; color: #fff; }
#profile, #details, #wishlist, #about, #journal, #friends, #comments, #signature { background: none; }
#friends #friendGroup li { border-right: 0px; }

The reason that's happening with your background picture is because in your code you have it stated as fixed and no-repeat. See??

Code

#extendedProfileBody
{ background: #000000; }
#content { background: #000 url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/aileenshome/labyrinthbackground.jpg) fixed no-repeat;
border: none; color: #fff; }


With that in your code, the picture isn't going to move with the page, and its not going to cover your entire page.

so I want to take the bolded out?

EDIT

Nope taking those (fixed/no-repeat) out, or taking one or the other out didnt fix the problem, the words still dont scroll over the picture while it just stays on screen behind the words.

Oh no you don't wanna take it out. You'll probably want to leave it "fixed" so that words will scrolls over the picture, but you'll want to change the no-repeat to a code where the picture fills the screen. But which one to choose all depends on the picture itself.

Love your siggy Hitari.

I would love to have a personalized profile but I"m just not code savy enough. Is it poss for someone to make one for me? Or, is it something that can be easily taught?

Thanks. ^_^ I had fun making it.

Hmm, well it can't be easily taught. However with the new profile system its easier to place things on your own. But you can still ask people to design the pictures and/or basic layout for your profile. But its still costs a pretty penny.
