Background image?!?

TappedOut forum

Posted on May 3, 2015, 8:24 p.m. by thegigibeast

I saw a lot of decks and profiles with background images and I would like to know how to do this! Has someone came up with a tutorial? Is it only plain html? I would like to know, cause I would like to add one for the deck:



Thanks in advance!

You should only do this if you're very comfortable with css, else you risk breaking the site. I would show you, but I don't want the info to spread to a bunch of people who don't know what they're doing. Basically, you have to override the css styling on your deck, but it's fairly complicated, and with a pretty good chance of causing problems for the site admins if something gets screwed up.

ABadMagicPlayer100 I do programmation since 5 years in Java, so I should be good with a small css tutorial! I also know how to code in html and javascript, so do you think you could email me at [email protected] to tell me how?

If yes thanks a lot!

thegigibeast, look to the tutorial on my profile. While it is going to take a while to complete as I've got currently 2 other projects to complete before it AND finding a job AND cleaning the entire house, it will help you in the future.

However, please do not put a background image on your deck pages or do any other alterations to the deck pages. Heavy alterations should be limited to your profile only.

At some point in the near future, I should have a baseline css file ready where you will be able to just change colors and pictures. All I've got left is to put comments in to describe what changes what. Femme_Fatale, if you want a copy for your tutorial, I'll let you know when it's done.

I just looked in T/O source code and found the css sheet they use. Are all the arguments in it the same? So I can edit the ones I need, upload it and use it on my profile???

Don't use T/O's source code. I can't guarantee anything will happen with tampering with the source code, and we want to make sure that nothing will break.

Just did some experiments and managed to change H2 color. Look at my page! I guarantee you I am gonna break nothing, if so I will remove all my code.

I recommend you change the colour for your text and symbols. Grey does not pop-out. A deep blue would be much better. And a white "a" text is confusing.

Those of us who know how are trying to to throw info around as it gets misused and breaks things. I once tried to help two people do their code and they just ran wild with it and didnt listen to what i was saying and temp broke the site. Since then I dont help people with it.

The few ruined it for the rest.
