The Dark Furie

Finally Finished My CSS

Sunday, 4. November 2007, 02:03:16

Well, it took me about a month to learn what I was doing and create what I wanted, but it's pretty much done now.

Thanks go to the following people who may or may not (I stole a lot of code for analysis) know that they helped.

  • Demiphonic - who got me interested in this stuff in the first place.
  • Dr Launch - who taught me it's possible to use the basic sheets as a base for your own modifications and not worry about doing everything.
  • Fred - without his stylesheet I'd never have managed to learn how to move the main menu and resize it.
  • Kite Geek - who sorted me out some free morphing software and a tutorial that ultimately helped me to make the pulsating banner.
  • You horrible lot - who visited me so often that I thought I'd give you something special to visit.

I've got a couple more minor modifications to make yet including uploading some seasonal banners to go up when the time is right. But apart from that, I'm finished. Phew, it was exhausting.

*Clapping* Great job everyone!

The Once And Future King 4. November 2007, 03:18

I thought so. With my scavenging skills and their programming skills I managed to get this page feeling just right. :devil:

*pulsates at Carol*

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 03:20

Just one thing, the words "The Dark Furie" are underneth the banner.

The Once And Future King 4. November 2007, 03:22

Clear ya cache and reload. I've checked it on every browser I can find for free.

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 03:35

I did, it's still off the banner. Would you like a screenshot? I'm using Opera browser.

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 03:52

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 03:54

I even did F5 after the cache emptied. Still there.

The layout is Excellent Mik :cheers:. I can see it was alot of hard work. Well done:hat:

But I can't see the image on the banner on Beta. I'll have to wait till i make it to a pc.

Darko 4. November 2007, 07:23

I can also see The Dark Furie under the banner.

Attila 4. November 2007, 07:54

The Dark Furie is neither in or under the banner here.

Darko 4. November 2007, 07:58

Everything is ok now :up:

Where's my thank you?

For letting you neglect me without (much) complaint???

:mad:

r♡se 4. November 2007, 10:15

Great! :hat:

So... when's the housewarming?

~ Callya ~ 4. November 2007, 10:16

Men :rolleyes:

Cois 4. November 2007, 10:37

Guess i'll check it out when i'm on a pc.. p:

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 11:42

I cleared the cache and f5 again still there.

Attila 4. November 2007, 11:43

So, I am the only one who doesn't see the Dark Furie?
:sst: I guess I should concider myself lucky! :D

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 11:49



How it looks in IE7 to me. No "The Dark Furie" on here.

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 11:55

Did you notice how you banner looks different, in My Opera it's silver, in IE7 Black.

The Once And Future King 4. November 2007, 12:43

Um, the banner is an animation. Can't you see that? There's only 4 items on my menu and you're showing 5 on your screenshot. Wonder how that happened? Which version of Opera are you using Carol?

Tilla, any chance of a screenshot on your end?

r♡se 4. November 2007, 12:50

Did you change anything on your banner now? It seems to be loading more slowly than yesterday.

The Once And Future King 4. November 2007, 12:59

Yeah, I cut down the frames and used a smaller image. Somehow that made it almost twice as large. :irked:

The Once And Future King 4. November 2007, 13:09

Carol, I just got a better look at your screenshot. Looks like your browser is reading fonts bigger than I set them. I've shortened the name of the second menu item so it should work better now.

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 13:13

YAY, :hat: It's gone now. :hat: :up:

r♡se 4. November 2007, 13:14

Oh...
Well, for what it's worth, it looks great in Opera (desktop) 9.23 :up:
However, the icon in the menu covers half the A in A man called Furie.

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 13:26



What I don't get now is how it's different in IE7 and on My Opera.
My Opera says:
A Man Called Furie
Chronicles
The Furie's Eye
The Dark Furie

But in IE7 it's:
Blog
Archive
Photos
About

r♡se 4. November 2007, 13:29

It also seems Opera adds extra padding from the banner down to the post.

The Once And Future King 4. November 2007, 13:46

There are some things that IE can't handle in CSS, like changing the name of menu items for instance.

On the latest version of Opera it displays the same as IE for me, but with the new menu titles.

The menu selector icon's a design decision Rosie. I was considering having a Monty Python style hand instead, but went this way instead. I'm still trying to find a way to change the mouse cursor without people having to download extra stuff.

Attila 4. November 2007, 13:50

I'll make a screenshot for you later. I am on the laptop now, no software for the fun photo making here :D

Attila 4. November 2007, 18:05


There you go. See? No Dark Furie there.

Dacotah 4. November 2007, 18:06

FF is the same as IE7 with the wording. On Opera browser it is worded different.

The Once And Future King 4. November 2007, 18:09

Yeah, using the Opera browser gives you different titles for the menus thanks to a bit of code I used in the stylesheet.

Randall 4. November 2007, 20:58

my name's listed ferrr-eeerrssstt, my name's listed ferrr-eeerrssstt p:

Talks When She Sleeps 4. November 2007, 21:12

..wait a tic :right:

nervous

Talks When She Sleeps 4. November 2007, 22:59

*slap!*
And call me Kimmie! :mad:

The Once And Future King 4. November 2007, 23:54

My girl goes without saying because I'd be nothing good without her. And as such, she's always listed first. :love:

Talks When She Sleeps 4. November 2007, 23:58

LAME! You're just covering your ass before I beat it! :mad:

The Once And Future King 5. November 2007, 00:06

:rolleyes:

Talks When She Sleeps 5. November 2007, 00:07

:D

Randall 5. November 2007, 01:11

he doesn't put her on the list & I get slapped :mad:

The Once And Future King 5. November 2007, 01:14

This has always been the way of the Furie, grasshopper. Master karma and it shall divert aggression aimed at you to some other poor sap.

Randall 5. November 2007, 03:20

I've channeled some of that into my "status" all ready :devil:

Talks When She Sleeps 5. November 2007, 09:23

I saw it! I laughed! Then I punched Mik in the face with laughter!
Okay, I didn't really. I poked him in the niplet. :o:

Talks When She Sleeps 5. November 2007, 09:24

Oh, yes, and - *slap!* stop complaining! :D

The Once And Future King 5. November 2007, 11:29

:lol:

~ Callya ~ 5. November 2007, 12:58

:lol:

The Once And Future King 5. November 2007, 20:29

Right, I think I've fixed that space between the banner and blog. It should work on all browsers now. :D

r♡se 5. November 2007, 20:40

It does! I even checked Safari for you. :hat:
