PIMP PROFILE FULL EXAMPLES BELOW IN THIS THREAD


This thread will give some examples of style code to use in your profile page , if you want to "pimp it" to look better Wink
Others with CSS skills and examples, can post in this thread too Smiley


Some general info for those who want to make their own without using examples below :

Color codes to use can be found here:
http://www.quackit.com/html/html_color_codes.cfm

Image host for images can be found here:
http://www.tinypic.com

General info about CSS codes can be found here:
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/properties.html

For profile page background, you can use a solid color, a picture or a texture picture...
For texture pictures, look here:
http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Anb-NO%3Aofficial&q=texture+backgrounds&btnG=Search+Images


To change your profile, go to your profile page and choose "My personal Profile" at the bottom menu
All the CSS style code goes into the box CUSTOMIZATIONS at bottom of your Profile Page edit view

TIPS
- If you use Firefox, download the Firebug plugin, and then you will be able to rigth-click elements in your profile page to see what name they have, to use for CSS codes. For example .windowbg2 for the comment area of your profile etc.
You can also change code with Firebug, to test what happens (without this being saved to your profile)

Some general purpose code for your profile page here  Smiley
For those who want to make their own style from scratch

All style code must start with a <style> tag, and end with a </style> tag.
Your CSS code, goes in between this tag.

Profile page background color CSS
body {background:colorcode;}
for example body {background:red;}

Profile page background image CSS
body {background.url(http://www.website.com/image.jpg)}

Hint: A good host for images, is www.tinypic.com

Color code for the profile boxes title area
.titlebg {background:colorcode;}
change color or colorcode for your likings

You can also change fonts (the text size, looks and color) for this and other areas of your profile by adding a font element
For example
.titlebg {font-size:16px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:green;}

Color code for the profile boxes content area
.windowbg {background:colorcode;}
for example .windowbg {background:green;}

Colorcode for the area around the boxes:
table#profile_info {background:colorcode;}
for example table#profile_info {background:green;}

Color code for the area outer area of your profile
#content {background-color:yellow;}
change color or colorcode for your likings

Color code for your profile page border color (the whole page)
#wrapper {background-color:yellow;}
change color or colorcode for your likings

Color code for the comment text area
.windowbg2 {background:green;}

Check mine out  Wink
http://radio.virtualdj.com/forum/profile/neo

Shocked

Code:
<div style="background:url('http://cdn.nextsmallthings.com/coolchaser.com/image-1348391.jpg');font-family:Cursive;color:FFFFFF;text-align:center">

<!--<div style="background-color:white;color:black;"><p>Make sure you checkout the page in both IE and Firefox! Different features in different browsers ;)</p></div>-->

<style type="text/css">
  p { font: 12pt cursive}
.bordercolor {background:none;}
.windowbg {background:black;}
.titlebg{background:none;background-image:url("http://www.signspecialist.com/lettering/green-yellow.jpg");
background-repeat:repeat-x;}
</style>

<style>body { background: url('http://radio.virtualdj.com/forum/profile_pictures/373_1217007290.png'); }

#profile_right img {filter:alpha(opacity=50);
opacity: 0.5;
-moz-opacity:0.5;
}

#profile_right img:hover {filter:alpha(opacity=100);
opacity: 1.0;
-moz-opacity:1.0;
}
</style>

<!--<div style="background:url('http://cdn.nextsmallthings.com/coolchaser.com/image-1348391.jpg');" />-->

<style>
.maintab_back a {color:yellow;}
.maintab_back a:visited {color:yellow;}
.maintab_back a:hover {color:green;}
.maintab_back a:active{color:red;}
#wrapper {background-color:green;cursor:url("http://www.123cursors.com/freecursors/2211.ani")};

.bordercolor {background-color:black;}
.windowbg {background:black; filter:alpha(opacity=90);
opacity: 0.9;
-moz-opacity:0.7;}

.windowbg:hover {filter:alpha(Opacity=100, FinishOpacity=0, Style=2, StartX=20, StartY=40, FinishX=0, FinishY=0);
opacity: 1.0;
-moz-opacity:1.0;
}
</style>

HINT: Also view in Internet Explorer to see how some of the code only works for IE.

Okay I admit.. not the cleanest code ever  Grin
