Decklist CSS

TappedOut forum

So this is part PSA and part feature requrest.

So for the PSA part; There are a lof of decks on TappedOut that use custom formatting, from a simple custom deck background all the way to a fully pimped out decklist with fancy type-fonts and even animated (non-gif) snowfall in the background. While this is all very impressive, there are a few things to remember:

  1. Adding too many custom display features can make your deck unreadable - I have seen many lists where there is so much going on that decklist have become almost impossible to read.

  2. Custom CSS can reduce the functionality of your list - did you know that if you click on the deck stats (i.e. the graph) that it will highlight corresponding cards? If your CSS does not support this, you can actually reduce functionality on your deckpage.

  3. If you're going to use videos/wallpapers, please understand what inline linking is and its effect on ad revenue and bandwidth to external sites.

  4. Do NOT have videos/music autoplay - not only is is this rude for people viewing your list, it's a good way to get your list removed.

Now for the feature request. It would be awesome if there was a way to switch between custom CSS and default page formatting on a deck level. I know there is an account based global setting to turn this off, however it's nice to appreciate the hard work that people have put into their deck formatting. On top of that, I have come across various levels of readable/unreadable formatting and it would be good to be able to quickly switch between the two only when required.

Thanks and happy coding.

How can you add a custom deck background?

Nasser_inside1: Have a look in the Coding Forum (you may need to be an upgraded user for this). There are also a bunch of resources online, however this thread isn't the best place to discuss the ins and outs of specific coding questions.

And is there any other way of getting a colored name other than paying or no?

Nasser_inside1: paying for it is the only way.

It's ok name I literally can't read due to being too close to the background color. The global settings don't actually do anything.
