Theme Challenge: Rural NightsSuggested by Quiless
A few weeks ago I camped out in our backyard with marshmallows roasting over the crackling fire pit.  The moon was full and the air had a chill to it.  I live in a pretty rural area, where, on a clear night, all you can see are stars.  Have you ever slept under the night's sky?  Or do you day dream about getting away from the city lights and enjoying the dark and calm, no hum of electricity...  Let the night inspire you to create a journal skin theme.


Create a journal skin, gallery or custom box bg/widget or other journal/profile resource using the theme for this week.  Add the hashtag  #CSSChallenge to your deviation or description. (no longer using #cssbabeschallenge exclusively, you can use either tag, I'll check for both)

All skins tagged will be featured in the next week's challenge.  Late entries will be featured in the next one and so on.  For example, if you enter week 1 during week 3, it would be featured on week 4.  This way, it doesn't matter when you join or which challenge you do, everyone gets featured without having to back pedal to previous.  I'll check the tag each week and add in any new ones.  If you're skipped, comment on that journal and I'll add in the next.

InspirationNight skies and log cabins, woods and crickets chirping.  What inspires you when you hear the words 'Rural Nights'?





Theme Challenge : CSS AnimationSuggested by Quiless
Let the elements transition or transform size, opacity, backgrounds, colors, etc.  They can spin or fade, zoom up close or slide away.  But don't limit yourself to animations available on dA CSS, you could use animated gifs to create moving backgrounds and glows, crazy borders or blinking lights.  Explore the codes dA lets us use of CSS3. (edit) Please use sensibly.

Inspiration

 



SuggestionsThank you everyone who has thrown suggestions at us.  We may be filled up for the year, but we might do multiple suggestions all at once.  So keep pitching us your ideas, tell us what inspires you, or what you love.  Is there a skin to match your mood?  Suggest it!

CSS Tutorials and Tips



A new one from my Frequently Referenced Collection , this tutorial is written by Quiless who brought us both of these suggestions.  Check out his tutorial on transitions and maybe incorporate both  ideas into one.

#CSSChallenge FeatureThis article will be crossposting to journalcss as well as CSS-Babes , hence the change of skin.  I will be designing a custom skin for the challenge, but in the meantime, we'll be using this.  Other journal groups are welcomed to include this in their journals or galleries.  If you wish me to cross-post, I will need blog access to your group.  These will post on Mondays.

Share your Tips & Tricks!

I was hoping you come with an awesome design for portfolios, at least
Maybe some other time...! (still eagerly waiting for your surprize!! )

Hope your skin can be an inspiration ;D  I picked that one for the lovely hover effects.  And yes, you are a challenge!  hahahaha!

Spread the good word then ;D  Share a status, poll or journal about it.  Challenge your watchers to join the challenge.

I know, I need to get on it as well, it will help inspire.  But it is meant to be a challenge that people can attempt every week or any week.  A challenge for themselves to try if they aren't a skinner.  I'm posting tips and tutorials, etc on every journal, so maybe it will inspire newcomers to create something.  I think Andorada might be planning something

awww, GillianIvy , now I really have to deliver!! do you accept codes written with two left hands?

gillianivyart In reply to Andorada [2015-06-16 19:48:05 +0000 UTC]

Why yes, of course, left-handed and double left-handed people are great.  My Mom is left-handed, though she only has the one ;D

Andorada In reply to gillianivyart [2015-06-16 20:04:24 +0000 UTC]

I am not left handed(at least in theory...) When it comes to programming I am as good as having two left hands (or as if your Mom would have two right hands ) But I will try my best! I always keep practicing my left hand - they say it's good for the brain to train "the other hand" as well

My left hand is a dummy.

Um about "you could use animated gifs to create moving backgrounds and glows"....
FAQ #69: Can I use animated images within my journal, journal CSS or journal background?

But I guess slighty glowing would be ok..

Yes, epilepsy is a consideration.  Had no idea there was a FAQ about it.  I have seen some rather flashy profile pages.  I avoid them, even though I have never had any issue of that sort.  I like smooth animations with a bit of glow.  Thanks for pointing out that issue.

gillianivyart In reply to UszatyArbuz [2015-06-15 23:40:20 +0000 UTC]

Maybe it is a newer issue, but 69 is a low number.    I have made animated skins before, I hope the bgs were not too flashy.  I do not know the amount that can trigger such.  Generally, you want animations subtle for load times too.

UszatyArbuz In reply to gillianivyart [2015-06-15 23:51:02 +0000 UTC]

It is
Me too but only subtle ones, as you say. To not to distract from the journal text

gillianivyart In reply to UszatyArbuz [2015-06-16 03:43:34 +0000 UTC]

Though I am distracted by skins anyways.  I read an article thrice over.  Once to look it up and down, again to hover all the links and images, and finally to actually read it.
