To install, all you have to do is copy the code from the text file in the downloads and then paste it into the CSS text box in your gallery. No one has had trouble with it so far, so it's not at all hard.

It's also extremely easy to customize the colors. I've made the skin so that all you have to do is stick a hexadecimal color code (ex #ffffff is white) into two spots in the CSS. I have the instructions written out in the zip file, too.

The agreement for purchasing these is that you'll only use it for your own use, so I'm afraid you can't share it with a friend.

All righty~
It's my very first time doing it, I certainly can't wait to try. ^_^

Ooh, that's great~
And even better,I just saved a HTML coloring code page~<3
I'm gonna go with pink~ *^*

Oki doki~<3

I'll definitely purchase this, it's look is simple and will definitely suit my entire gallery no matter how much I change it. xD
I especially like that it's simple. While I am a HUGE vintage-themed fan, I like it simple 'cause no matter how my gallery changes in looks, especially the front page, it won't clash with anything. Plus, the price is actually really good~
A gorgeous background for 30 cents is a steal~<3

SimplySilent In reply to Scootie-chan [2013-07-09 04:02:16 +0000 UTC]

If your images are smaller than the width the white thumb part is set at, then that will happen. In the instructions, it tells you how to make the thumb part smaller

In one of your folders, click the button in the right hand corner that says either "Folder Options" or "Collection Options" You'll get a pop up box that looks like this: sta.sh/0auwnlnnf9d Your description goes in the big white box.

Ok I have a couple questions, (First time installing any type of CSS into DA)

The header lines, Do I put those at the top, or am I missing them in the text somewheres?

Thumbnail size, is there a way to get them to show 100% of the image (Ive got some landscape orientation and to show the whole things I had to increase the width, but then I have white space beyond the other thumbs that arent that wide to begin with)

Other than that, I love it!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SimplySilent In reply to FTSArts [2013-06-25 21:52:20 +0000 UTC]

You mean the

headings in the sidebar? Those, along with all the text in the sidebar, go into the text on the pop up window when you click "Folder Options" (Looks like this:  sta.sh/0auwnlnnf9d ). Goes in the big white box.

For the thumbs, that's just how dA works. You can increase the width so that your landscape images are shown in full, but at a certain width, they will stop expanding due to dA's own formatting (I believe its 250px, but not exactly sure on that). Any images that are smaller than that size will have white space, and there's really nothing you can do with that.

I keep mine at a smaller size so that the narrower thumbs still look okay

Yeah, make sure that for h1{} you have

h1{
background: #ff757f;  <---- Make sure you put green here instead of deleting the line or something
color: #fff;
font-size: 14px;
letter-spacing:.5px;

btw: I noticed one thing, now that I've used your lovely Jskin twice:

there is no "padding" on the RHS of scrollboxes.. so text looks squished and gives the impression that some letters may be hidden... see any scroll in my current journal... can this be fixed please?

OK, that's it... glad you liked the feature...
bye fer now Sis, Peter.

SimplySilent In reply to Peter-The-Knotter [2013-06-25 21:11:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yes I see. I only tested the scroll boxes with images rather than text, so that's why I overlooked it in the first place.

To fix, search for .scroll in the css, and then replace "padding-left: 30px" with "padding:5px 20px 5px 30px;" That should do the trick

Also, did you want the colorful part at the top of the gallery skin to be bigger or smaller than in the preview?

okay:
1: not sure what you mean by the colourful bit? to me it's kinda all colourful..sorry!...

2:I managed to edit the skin but it, (the editor widget), didn't let me save it as the original?
so I tried again... I now have your original, unchanged.....plus 3 clones with the padding now perfect, called:
"Peter-The-Knotter: commission" which I can't seem to delete!!! and which don't have preview thumbs... huh?

any advice on da's editing protocols? there must be some way of overwriting or deleting a css skin file.. surely?

no rush to answer by the way as I can use my skin... one of them.....

1. Like the red rectangle part at the very top of the skin that contains the title of the folder "traditional art."

2. Huh, okay, dA has the weirdest thing about journals. Next to the "Save As" button on the CSS, journals usually also have a green "Save" button that modifies the original journal without creating a copy. Go to your journal and click edit. When it takes you to sta.sh, don't click on any of your skins. Just click the link that says "Edit Skin." There, you should have a "Save" button.

To delete, click on one of your clones, click "Edit Skin", and click the "Delete" or "Uninstall" button.

If that doesn't work, I'll just reload the skin altogether

Hi SS,
managed to delete clones ... fine!

but: when I replaced code it removed the title of the skin and prompted me for a new name, so I inserted a facsimile of your title hoping it would prompt for overwrite decision... but no! another clone with same name!...grrr....perhaps da doesn't allow non-authors to replace original coding?...

I guess so... I've never really come across that problem because I only use my own skins I'll just reupload the journal and let you know when you can just reinstall the thing.

Okay, another thing, I forgot the gallery skins don't allow for fancy fonts like journal skins do. I can give you the gallery skin with just the color change (looks like  simplysilent.deviantart.com/fa... ). 

There is a way to do something like this ( simplysilent.deviantart.com/ga... where I have a custom font, but it requires you creating and uploading images on your own (each of the headings in my gallery is actually an image) which can get pretty annoying.
