A new theme! I love Smooth Sailing, but started to get bored with it. And because the 3 column theme is not a popular one, it seemed a good subject for some experimenting. Plus, tiny icons. I love tiny icons. :3
It seems I can't help but turn every sidebar into a topbar, lmao. :|
Edited on 27th September with another colour scheme.




INFO
  • Style: S2 - 3 Column
  • For free, paid, plus accounts (ad placement: between entries)
  • Best viewed at 1024*768 or higher
  • Was tested in Firefox and IE6 (it seems to work well with Firefox, in IE6 the comment pages are sometimes buggy)
  • Color scheme credit


INSTALLING THE LAYOUT
1. Go to LJ's customize page. Type '3 Column' in the search box, hit enter, then apply one of the available themes.

2. Go to the Journal display customization page. At the bottom of the page find 'Display link list', and choose 'No' (this is reallyreally important!). Your links will be placed in the blurb part of the sidebar. Here at Blurb text you can put your text and links in the box.

3. Download the tiny icons.

Go to the Journal style customization page. At the bottom of the page (under Images) expand the Icon menu, and after you uploaded the tiny icons to your own server, paste the matching urls to the boxes. There is an lj user and lj comm tiny icon in the .zip file, after you uploaded those, you'll find the places to paste them under MISC. Icon credit.)

4. Go to Custom CSS, and select the following:
  • Use layout's stylesheet(s): No
  • Leave the Custom external stylesheet URL box blank.
  • Copy + paste the CSS to the Custom stylesheet box.
Hit 'Save changes', and you're done!

Another, blue - brown colour scheme, which I used in my journal for a while:



Notes:

If you'd like normal sized userpics, find .userpic2 img and .comment_wrapper .userpic2 img and take out "width: 80px;" and "height: 80px;"

If you need a taller topbar, add the same amount of pixels to BASICS - #container - "padding: 137px 0 0 0;" and SIDEBARS - .blurb - "height: 86px;".


Feel free to edit as much as you'd like, if you have any questions, just ask and I'll gladly help, please credit (!), comments are appreciated. Enjoy! :)
