new design coming soon...

CSSing your my.opera site

,

Maybe you have seen that I made some minor changes to my layout lately. There are some things I found out using Opera, Firefox (with DevTools) and IE7, I'd like to share so you don't run into the same trouble. knockout

Comments
It's pretty cool, when your visitors can directly see your replies in the comments. If you just want to give your own comment a different background color it's made in seconds. You need only 1 line of CSS code:
.ownercomment {
    background: #YOUR_COLOR_AS_HEX_CODE;
}
(If you don't know how to get the color code, just try this small tool.)

I additionally used some small background images to give is a certain "theme" (I shortened the URL a little bit to make it more clear):
.comment1 {
    background: #181818 url('SERVER_URL/comment_1.png') repeat-y;
}
.comment2 {
    background: #272727 url('SERVER_URL/comment_2.png') repeat-y;
}
.ownercomment {
    background: #001c30 url('SERVER_URL/comment_own.png') repeat-y;
}
Et voilà... the comments are "stylish". wizard



Sidebar Boxes
Next I improved the look of the sidebar boxes. That's very easy as well:
#side h2, #side caption {
    background: #001c30 url('SERVER_URL/sidebox_head.png') repeat-y;
}
.sidebox {
    background: #181818 url('SERVER_URL/sidebox_body.png') repeat-y;
}
Okay, that was pretty obvious, wasn't it? coffee



"Recent Visitors"-Sidebar
Next I wanted to change the last visitors box a little bit, to make it look more like a list than a collection. Easy-peasy in Opera and Firefox. We just define our own set of CSS rules for every element included:
/* VISITORS SIDEBAR */
#visitors ul {
    border: none;
    width: 230px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: transparent;
}
#visitors li {
    display: inline;
    height: 80px;
    border: none;
    width: 230px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: transparent;
}
#visitors li:hover {
    width: 230px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: transparent;
}
#visitors li.first {
    border: none;
    width: 230px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: transparent;
}
#visitors li.mid {
    border: none;
    width: 230px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: transparent;
}
#visitors li a {
    color: #006bd0;
    border: none;
    width: 73px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: transparent;
}
#visitors span {
    float: left;
    height: 22px;
    width: 140px;
    color: #004e87;
    border: none;
    margin: -60px 0px 0px 73px;
    padding: 25px 0px 25px 0px;
    background: transparent;
    font-size: 1.5em;
}
#visitors span:hover {
    color: #006bd0;
}
#visitors img {
    float: left;
    border: none;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: transparent;
    margin: 10px 0px 0px 5px;
}
That does the trick... at least if your visitors use a real browser. If they don't, this means they use an Internet Explorer, you need to "cheat" a little bit.
Be aware that the following code is NOT valid CSS! irked
#visitors li a { *margin: 0px 0px 0px -146px; }
This works with IE6 and 7 (at least on my machine).

Ah... you just want to see, if that styling works, eh?
Okay, I'm no kill-joy! happy

Besides... when will you post again in your own blog? eek

My blog? Hmm..., don't know. There is just nothing special that crosses my mind or my eyes that I can post.

DavidSchalandra Friday, February 29, 2008 10:41:52 AM

And I said thanks for the ColorPicker tool. It is really nice.

Oh, I just searched for a useful tool, as not everybody knows how to get the color code. That's just "service".cool

DavidSchalandra Friday, February 29, 2008 3:52:36 PM

Anything unclear reza?
(btw: my last boss was named Reza too. smile )

The changes mentioned above have to be written into the custom style sheet you can add to your site. See:

My page > Account > Design > custom style sheet


In your special case it should be right here:

I like you. bigeyes Thanks for sharing this. bigsmile yes

Suntana Thursday, August 28, 2008 2:58:19 AM

Sooooo, Mugs, could I trouble you for some CSS Code for a certain small task? I'm guessing it's very similar to and a derivative of your Comments Box Code. All I simply want to do is install a Pic of a Color Gradient Scheme as the Background in back of the Text in my Blog's Welcome Sticky Post. I already have that effect in my Comment Boxes. It is pretty much the same thing as your Comments CSS Lesson from above, albeit I got it from someone else's Blog. I just don't know how to translate that Code from the Comment Boxes to work in my Welcome Sticky Post's Text.

Anyway, it's just a favor I'm asking. I know you don't know me. So, you're obviously NOT required to oblige and give me the Code.

DavidSchalandra Thursday, August 28, 2008 7:48:26 AM

Hi Suntana,

that's not much of a trouble. All I had to find out is that class sticky posts have: stickypost... surprise, surprise!

So if you want to define something additional for your sticky posts you'll want to add some lines like those:

.stickypost {
    background: #YOUR_COLOR_AS_HEX_CODE url('SERVER_URL/sticky_background.png') repeat-y;
}


I haven't tested it myself, but it should do the work. smile

Suntana Thursday, August 28, 2008 2:54:45 PM

@Schalandra: Here is the Code that I entered:

.stickypost {background: none url("http://files.myopera.com/Suntana/blog/Nightfall BG3D.jpg") no-repeat;}

I tweaked your version just a smidgen. I put "none" for color since the Gradient Scheme would make any Color Background unnecessary. I changed it to "no-repeat" as I'm going to try to get this 3-D Plaque-like Gradient Scheme on there as the Background with precise dimensions ... Uhhh, after some trial & error. bigsmile

Anyway, the Code didn't work. Nothing happened. Nothing was messed up, but nothing changed on my Welcome Sticky Post. I don't know about these things, but wouldn't something like Text Area have to be specified? This because I also have a Pic there in my Sticky Post. So, how would the CSS know whether I wanted the Gradient Background in back of the Pic or in back of the Text?

Suntana Thursday, August 28, 2008 3:10:18 PM

Okay, Update:
I removed the word "none" after "background:" in the tweaked code above. The 3-D Gradient Scheme DID display now. But, it is pretty much wayyy up in the Upper Leftmost Corner of my Welcome Sticky Post. It is nowhere near the TEXT part of the Sticky Post. So, it's progress.

Probably if you could show me how to move the Gradient Scheme Down and to the Right ... I could swap the Text to the Left side of my Post and the Pic to the Right. I could probably make it work that way. Would it involve using the Padding Attribute in the Code?

DavidSchalandra Thursday, August 28, 2008 3:57:00 PM

For compability reasons I would suggest, that you either define a color or set it to "transparent" ("none" will display exactly... nothing, ergo no background at all).

To move the background you use the following:
.stickypost {
    background: transparent url('SERVER_URL/sticky_background.png') no-repeat POS_LEFT_RIGHTpx POS_UP_DOWNpx;
}


Negative values for the POS_...px are valid. Good luck. wink

Suntana Thursday, August 28, 2008 6:48:01 PM

I couldn't get it to work. But, I probably didn't get the syntax correct on that POS part. But, anyway, I have to back up and rethink that 3-D Plaque-like Gradient Scheme. I hadn't taken into consideration that the Text area will vary in width & height when I switch between Full Screen mode and Split Screen mode with the Left Panel open. That threw a wrench in my plan. But, you have me in the right ballpark now, Schalandra. I'll go look in my various Online CSS Tutorials that I have so as to maybe fill in the blanks.
THANKS!

-( + )-Dasch Thursday, August 28, 2008 11:14:37 PM

Maybe you try #firstpost {back and so}. But then your post title also get a background I guess. Next try is #firstpost .content {back and so}. Don't know if this works.

Suntana Thursday, August 28, 2008 11:39:07 PM

That ".stickypost" Code also put the Background on the Post Title. A while ago, I thought I had a brilliant idea. I tried the Table approach. It probably still IS a good idea ... when implemented and executed properly. doh

I just haven't found the right Online CSS Tutorial with a fool-proof, can't miss style of teaching the concepts. I have several Tutorials bookmarked. They all have areas that are OK, but ultimately they eventually leave me hanging.

DavidSchalandra Friday, August 29, 2008 7:04:58 AM

I used selfhtml.org and just a very basic HTML site to learn how CSS works, then I tried more complex scenarios and today I'm happily hacking through the web. yes It's more likely that you'll be successful, when you're just playing around with a "dummy page", where you know all the details of the HTML code without looking at the source. The 3 Basics: Rule 1: "#" stands in front of an ID and has to be unique in your source:
...
<div id="first_name">Suntana</div>
...
CSS:
#firstname { color: red; }
Rule 2: "." stands for classes. You can use those several times and even stack them:
...
<div class="text-bold box">Red text inside a box.</div>
...
CSS:
.text-bold { font-weight: bold; }
.box { border: 1px solid grey; }
Rule 3: You can create a global rule when not using any "." or "#": CSS:
body { background: white; }

Suntana Friday, August 29, 2008 2:05:46 PM

Yikes! selfhtml.org is in German ... I think. Right up your alley. bigsmile And a version in French. Besides English, I only know Spanish, so I am out of luck there. But, even then, for something like a Tutorial, for me it would really have to be in English. My Spanish is more of conversational level. I've used my Spanish on the Opera Websites Forum and the avast! Anti-Virus Forums to help out some Spanish-speaking people who don't know much English ... by being the Translator between them and whoever has the solution to their problem. But yeah, for learning something like CSS, it'd really be much better in English than Spanish.

A lot of things puzzle me and I've got a lot to learn, but I'm really curious about one thing. Where exactly is it that you find out where the actual NAMES of the different areas of the webpage are? You know ... like you found out the Stick Post was "stickypost." Then there are all the different areas on the Side Bar and stuff. Is there an Opera File in which you look and find these NAMES of the areas?

By the way, sorry that in my 1st Comment in this Post, I addressed my inquiry at Mugs. I got confused. lol I got the Link to this Post on Mugs' Blog. Somehow I assumed the 3 CSS Lessons were written by him. doh

-( + )-Dasch Friday, August 29, 2008 2:31:17 PM

I'm using Firebug for Firefox:
http://files.myopera.com/Dasch/kommentare/suntana-firebug.jpg -

For Opera you can use Dragonfly

One question: My tip doesn't work? Is your problem still there? My english is crap and I don't understand all of your comment. sad bigsmile

DavidSchalandra Friday, August 29, 2008 3:10:50 PM

Firebug and Dragonfly are my developer tools for such things (just as Dasch mentioned). Both tools work very nicely.

You just activate the tool, move your mouse cursor above the item you want to know something about, click it and can read (and edit!) its style.

I wasn't aware that the english version of selfhtml got discontinued, sorry for that. It's the most important reference for me when I'm unsure about CSS definitions.

Suntana Friday, August 29, 2008 3:27:14 PM

Dasch, it's NOT necessarily that your Tip didn't work. Maybe it WILL work. I just wasn't able to try it because I didn't know how to use it. I didn't understand what the syntax would be. Like I see your Code above from Firebug for Firefox and Woooooooooo! yikes That is wayyy over my head. I wouldn't have known how to do that.

Okay, on your Picture above of my Sticky Post, you have a Light Blue Foreground on FRONT of the whole Page. What I am looking for is the incorporating of a Background in BACK of just the Text area ... while NOT affecting the Picture of Bugs Bunny.

Right now I have the project on HOLD while I learn some more. So right now there is NO Background there on my Welcome Sticky Post. It's just plain.

But, THANKS for trying to help, Dasch. up

-( + )-Dasch Friday, August 29, 2008 3:48:34 PM

Ok, I tested it:
http://files.myopera.com/Dasch/kommentare/suntana-bunny1.jpg -
#firstpost .content {background:transparent url(http://files.myopera.com/Suntana/blog/BugsBunny.jpg) no-repeat top left;)

smile

Suntana Friday, August 29, 2008 4:23:18 PM

Whoa! Hey! NOW we're getting somewhere!
So I would just have to add that ONE Line to my CSS area? A while ago you scared me. yikes I thought I'd have to add all that Firebug Code. But, if all I have to do is add that ONE Line, with the particular Background Picture that I want ... then quite possibly before this day is over, I'll have my Welcome Sticky Post all fixed up like I was envisioning it. It'll take a little bit of trial & error / hit & miss while I get the Color Gradient Scheme Picture the correct size to fit in back of the Text, but I THINK your Tip is going to do the Trick, Dasch. yes

I will let you know later on in the day ... well, you'll be able to read here how things went. But, it's looking promising. smile

-( + )-Dasch Friday, August 29, 2008 4:29:19 PM

DavidSchalandra Friday, August 29, 2008 4:41:44 PM

I think you got him, Dasch! smile

Suntana Friday, August 29, 2008 7:49:59 PM

Dasch! David! It's DONE! It's Up & Running ... Errr, Up & Displaying! It's working. Go check it out.
Whew! It didn't want to work, didn't want to cooperate at first. I first redid some of the HTML Code in the Post because I knew the Font Color was going to have to be changed to predominantly WHITE ... All Fonts would be BOLDED and a couple of Highlights added. I even thought I'd be all brilliant idea and streamline the Code by using the basefont Tag of which I had just read recently. I tried out the tweaked Code and ... and ... it DIDN'T Work! WTF? Everything was in plain Black Font and No Background. Damn! irked

I couldn't see anything wrong in the HTML Code, but I went ahead and got rid of the basefont Tag and coded the Fonts the longer Non-streamlined way. I tried out the Code again. Again --- It DIDN'T Work! bomb Again, I looked at the HTML Code and couldn't see anything wrong. I thought, "THIS ... should be working Right Freakin' NOW!!! This BS cannot be happening to me."

Finally I noticed that pretty much most of the Quotation Marks used in the Code, were this weird type of Quotation Marks that get put in when I Copy & Paste Code onto a Microsoft Word Document. I was desperate, so, I manually changed all of those Quotation Marks to the proper type of Quotation Marks in hopes that that would make a difference. That did the Trick! yes Woo Hoo! party

Thanks a LOT, Dasche ... David!
Y'all are Geniuses. bigsmile You were a BIG Help.
Much appreciated. up

What do you think about a transparent Bugs Bunny?

GIF version, is much smaller (32KB):
http://files.myopera.com/Dasch/kommentare/BugsBunny-transparent2.gif -

PNG version, is much bigger (140KB):
http://files.myopera.com/Dasch/kommentare/BugsBunny-transparent.png -

Suntana Friday, August 29, 2008 8:34:07 PM

Ideally, I would want the PNG for better resolution. But, I have a JPEG Bugs Bunny right now for smaller Files Size at 23.8 KB ... especially since I have Dial Up. Would the GIF Bugs Bunny have a slightly better resolution than JPEG? I believe I originally downloaded the Pic as a GIF. I then converted it to JPEG with irfanView. If the GIF will give me a tad better resolution than the JPEG, I might go for it.

A couple of the Pics I use in my Blog are PNG. Like my Banner. JPEG just didn't cut it for my Banner because it wouldn't recreate the Brick Wall with good detail, so I was forced to go with PNG there. The Wood Paneling Background is JPEG.

I might even experiment with some other Color Gradient Background Schemes there in my Sticky Post. I get them from the Microsoft Word Fill Effects function.

Suntana Friday, August 29, 2008 8:38:16 PM

Hey ........... If I used the "Transparent" Bugs Bunny, would the Gradient Color Background then extend ALL ACROSS the entire page behind Bugs or what? That might look Cool. I'd have to test it out if that's what happens.

-( + )-Dasch Friday, August 29, 2008 9:28:55 PM

Yes. That's why I asked you. It looks a bit better, I guess. I can try to make the GIF Bunny a little bit better over the weekend. I made that one above very fast with Apples Preview application.

DavidSchalandra Friday, August 29, 2008 10:34:30 PM

I suggest you use PNG-8bit. That's just like a GIF, but usually smaller in file size. smile

Suntana Saturday, August 30, 2008 5:44:57 AM

Ahhh, David, but that one isn't Transparent. cry
Ehhh, it's that the Pic was rough to begin with, so there's only so much miracle working that you two can do on it. If you check my Blog, you'll see that I went with this Yosemite Sam Wallpaper Pic. It has a Blue-ish Background that goes well with the Black / Blue Color Background scheme that I have going. This way I don't have to worry about transparency of the Pic. I also changed the Background scheme from a 3-Colored one to just Black & Blue. I ended up not really liking the purple at the bottom.

Hey, I have a question. Is Firefox supposed to be able to interpret the HTML color Tag ... the one where one uses the 6 Digit Hexadecimal Color Code? The Light Blue "Welcome" at the Top of my Sticky Post USED to be coded with a Hex Color Code. I went and for the first time tried out my Blog on Firefox 2.0. To my surprise, Firefox didn't want to display that Light Blue "Welcome." Everything else was intact and displaying properly. Opera of course interprets the Hex Color Code just fine. So, I switched from using a Hex Color Code on that Light Blue "Welcome" and just plain ole assigned it the Sky Blue Color. This time Firefox did acknowledge the Sky Blue "Welcome."

Yeah, David, those were the years when Michael Jackson was a Human Being ... instead of a Freakin' Mannequin. lol And a scary one at that! yikes

By the way, Dasche ... David, to thank you 2 for your HUGE help, I acknowledged you 2 on my Welcome Page, along with the other Opera Community Members who have helped me out with CSS Code, Tips, Fixes, Answers and what have you. up

Tamil Saturday, August 30, 2008 8:34:29 AM

-( + )-Dasch Saturday, August 30, 2008 8:08:03 PM

Ahhh, David, but that one isn't Transparent.

Are you using IE6? I guess not, but this is the only browser I know, who can't display the transparency of a PNG. Only with a JavaScript hack. Or was it a CSS hack?

Suntana Saturday, August 30, 2008 10:06:36 PM

YES, I AM using IE6. And I use my Opera superimposed on my AOL Dial Up as my ISP.

Anyway, Dasch ... Emergency - EMERGENCY!
A problem arose. Just when I thought everything was perfect, a problem popped up.

Okay, I have my Blog set up for 5 Posts per Page.
Today I put up my 6th Post. That means that for the first time, I have a Page 2 of Posts on my Blog. So, I went to check Page 2. I immediately saw that the lone Post on Page 2 has also acquired the Black / Blue Background that my Welcome Sticky Post on Page 1 has. yikes I had to quickly scramble and change the Font Code on my Welcome Sticky Post to Black Non-Bold Font. And I removed the firstpost Background CSS Code. So yeah, I have my Sticky Post back to Plain NO Background status. Crap! Damn, and it looked so Cool before!

Do you have a FIX for this? Do you think if the firstpost Tag was swtiched to stickypost ... it would work and ONLY the Sticky Post would have the Black / Blue Background from now on, instead of the First Post of EVERY Page?

-( + )-Dasch Saturday, August 30, 2008 10:21:00 PM

lol Damn emergencies! wink

Try this:
#firstpost .post stickypost .content {background:transparent url(http://files.myopera.com/Suntana/blog/BugsBunny.jpg) no-repeat top left;float:left;)


And for the Bugs Bunny you can try my GIF if you want:
http://files.myopera.com/Dasch/kommentare/BugsBunny4.gif
I think it looks ok on a dark background.

Suntana Saturday, August 30, 2008 10:43:27 PM

Nope! It didn't work. I even tried removing the - #firstpost part of it. And that didn't work either. The Background just doesn't display.

I'll keep your Bugs Bunny GIF in my PowerPoint Folder. If I don't use it here on my Blog, I'm bound to eventually use it on some PowerPoint creation.

Suntana Saturday, August 30, 2008 11:02:43 PM

I just tried out your Bugs Bunny GIF on PowerPoint. It looks awesome ... perfect! up IF I were to resize that Bugs GIF, shrink it a tad, would it retain it's awesomeness? bigsmile It wouldn't start getting rough edges? I might be tempted to stick it back in my Welcome Sticky Post if I can resize it down. I got used to the Yosemite Sam Pic occupying less area in my Post, thus giving my whole Welcome Post a smaller footprint.

I hope though ....... that if I use the Bugs GIF in my Post, it doesn't show up with a Black Background behind it. The 1st Transparent Bugs Bunny that you had posted, it was totally transparent on PowerPoint, but on my Blog Welcome Post, it showed up with a Black Background. Odd.

Like I said, I'll nevertheless keep it in my arsenal of Pics. It WILL eventually come in handy. As a matter of fact, a while back, I was going to make a PowerPoint Slide Show for this Cyber Buddy-ette and I was going to feature a Looney Tunes theme. I had previously made her another Slide Show of her dogs and she loved it. She was going to send me more Pics to make her another Slide Show, but hasn't gotten back to me. I have the project started ... with Tweety Bird flying into the Pic. lol Now I just have to wait for IF and when my Buddy sends me the Pics with which to finish the project. I'd definitely work Bugs Bunny into that one.

-( + )-Dasch Saturday, August 30, 2008 11:25:18 PM

Ok, here it is:
.{post stickypost} #firstpost .content {background:transparent url(http://path/to/the/background.png) no-repeat top left;float:left;}

I guess that Bugs Bunny GIF loses a little of its quality when you make it smaller. But try and error. bigsmile

Suntana Saturday, August 30, 2008 11:46:12 PM

Nope! Still doesn't work. The Background did come back, but also on that Post on the 2nd Page. cry
I don't know about these things, but I THINK the key might end up being in somehow removing that ***#firstpost*** part of the Code. I think THAT is what is causing the 1st Post of EVERY Page to display the Black / Blue Background.

I think somehow, the Code has to include ONLY the stickypost part of it, while leaving out the #firstpost part. But, I could be wrong. What do I know?

-( + )-Dasch Sunday, August 31, 2008 12:00:00 AM

WHAT!? bigeyes cry cry
You can remove the "#firstpost" but then all stickyposts get that background.
Next try:
.{post stickypost #firstpost} .content {background:transparent url(http://path/to/the/background.png) no-repeat top left;float:left;}

Here is the problem, if you make another stickypost then this gets the background because it is the firstpost. You must delete your welcome post and make a new welcome post after you make another stickypost. Complicated? right bigsmile

-( + )-Dasch Sunday, August 31, 2008 12:03:48 AM

Oh no! My code above doesn't work. sad

Suntana Sunday, August 31, 2008 12:17:48 AM

If it'll help, let me put it this way, I don't have any intention of putting up any other Sticky Posts. My WELCOME Sticky Post will be the ONLY one.

So, if you can come up with some Code where you can remove the #firstpost and have it work with ONLY the stickpost, that would be GREAT!

Like I said, I don't see myself having a need for MORE Sticky Posts. I don't want to flood the beginning of my Blog with a Buffet of Sticky Posts.lol

Don't stress yourself out too much over this problem, Dasche. It doesn't have to be fixed today. I don't want you spending all your time on this if you've got other things to do. If it is late over there in Germany ... heck, go ahead and get some sleep. If this doesn't get fixed, Ehhh, I can always have it like it was before, with the White Background. It won't be a global crisis. I really appreciate your time and effort that you've spent though. smile

This should work:
.post.stickypost .content {background:transparent url(http://path/to/the/background.png) no-repeat top left;float:left;}

But not with IE6 I guess and every stickypost gets that background.
Why is there a whitespace in a class definition? worried
