There aren't too many Opal Templates out there for all account types. That's a real shame because I love the Opal style to pieces.

Who said you need a Paid/Perm account to make Opal look pretty? Or even to add a Spiffyheader? All it takes is a little free text HTML and some creative CSS.

I hope others enjoy it!

Just to make sure your CSS is perpetually out-dated, LJ switched the location of it's site images again.

Look through your CSS and wherever you see this: p-stat.livejournal.com change it to this: l-stat.livejournal.com.

Wish they could make up their minds already... =/

Here are a bunch of tiny icons that I've made but haven't posted. And since I've gotten some requests for transparent icons that will work in older versions (6 or less) of IE, I included .gif files along with the .png ones.

As always, if any of the links are inactive, send me an email and I'll re-upload them. Please comment if you take them.

Note: If you normally use a browser that supports transparent .png files (like Firefox or IE7), I highly recommend using them over the .gif images.

Entry Linkbar Icons Take 2
They're similar to my other set, but are completely gray-scale. Plus, I added a 'Flag' icon now that that feature has been implemented.

Security
Not much different from my first set. The color is a tad lighter. Plus, I added a 'Custom Friends Group' icon and multiple colored 'Private' icons.

Other Tiny Icons
I've used some of these as images for sidebar box headers, but there are a couple random ones I just threw in for kicks.

Martini Glass Icons
Other colors are available in the download, but here are a couple examples:

Tiny Pin Icons
There are 2 sets of pins: one horizontal and one on an angle. As with the Martini Glass Icons, multiple colors are available with the download.

LiveJournal recently changed the location of site images from stat.livejournal.com to p-stat.livejournal.com. If you are using CSS to replace tiny icons (userinfo and/or security), you will need to modify your URLs so the images will display.

Note: This is for Paid/Perm users only! Sorry Basic/Plus users. =(

I've been flirting with the idea of offering up a theme layer for Paid/Perm users to download and use for a while now. People seem to genuinely like what I've been doing with the S2 style Opal (Libra OSWD) over the past few years and I've finally decided to give them something completely different, yet still Opal.

So here it is, Opal Unleashed. A distinct version of a style most people overlook.

Bug-Fixes
[7/8/2008] changed Page::lay_print_header to make it easy to customize the 'tags page' view (code slightly modified from an entry in s2flexisquares), edited Entry::print_metadata so things don't get funky if you don't have a mood icon displayed.

( Preview, Download, and Instructions )

So, there you have it. A new Opal template. Go forth, customize, and, most importantly, enjoy!

Cheers!

There aren't too many Opal Templates out there for all account types. That's a real shame because I love the Opal style to pieces.

Opal is hard to work with if you do not have a Paid/Perm account because of the way the style is coded. While you can't move your sidebar to the right or move the entrylinks to the bottom of the entry with a Basic or Plus account, there are still some CSS tricks that can move other elements around to give Opal a facelift.

I hope others enjoy it!

Follow the link below to download (as a .zip file) my entry/comment linkbar icons. If the link is inactive, send me an email and I'll re-upload them. Please comment if you take them.

Samples:
  
  

All icons are 12 x 12 pixel transparent .png files.

Clicky to Download

Notes:

• Some S2 styles allow you to change the entry link images if you are a Basic or Plus account holder: 3 Column and Boxer(?) are probably the easiest.
• All Paid/Perm account holders will be able to customize your linkbars through modifying your theme layer. However, I am only familiar with doing this in the Opal (Libra OSWD) style. While coding for other styles may be similar, it would be time consuming on my part to attempt to explain it. So I can't help implement codes for other styles, sorry.
• Only Paid/Perm account holders can customize comment pages.

Follow the link below to download (as a .zip file) my security/userinfo icons. This is a completely new set from my previous batch. If the link is inactive, send me an email and I'll re-upload them. Please comment if you take them.

Samples:
       
       
       

There are more colors and a couple versions of the lock and eye icons. Also, these are all 9x9 pixels, so they're much smaller than my previous batch.
