Title: CSS/HTML help
Post by: legacyblade on May 16, 2008, 04:23:23 PM

Hey, anyone know how I could make a page look like this?

http://www.aveyond.com/

I have a RMXP map with a transparent horizon, and I have a paranorma background thing, but I don't know how to code that. Could anyone help me? (notice that the images stay in place while the rest of the page seems to move).

I'm making a custom skin for my forum, and I want to use a background like that (less bright, and better mapped of course). If you guys could help, that'd be great  ;)

Did you look at the page's source?  There's the answer.  Still, did you also look in a CSS reference guide?

http://w3schools.com  -  There's enough reference for you.

Make sure you look at the page's source when you want to find out how it's done.  If you are looking for the CSS, it may be written inside that same page, or a .css document could be linked to it, in which case, just copy the address and paste in in your browser, and try navigating to it.

If you need more detailed instructions, let me know.

Ok, I looked at the source, but it confused me. I'm not sure which part controls which images. But thanks for the link to that reference, I'll take a look!

Code: [Select]

body
{
background: [b]#A1E4FF[/b] url(images1/empty.gif) bottom left fixed repeat-x;
color: #7B8E6B;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 135%;
font-size: 12px;
  margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: 0px;
}

the blue color for the background.

Quote

.background2a {background: url(images1/background5a.gif) top left fixed repeat-x;}
.background2b {background: url(images1/background5b.gif) bottom right fixed repeat-x;}

TWO background images, the clouds and the main part, though I don't see why you can't combine the clouds with the map itself and just have the blue as a color.
