It's a userhead, I make userheads now. Userheads are cool.  
Looks, it's not a layout! Can't always be a layout, right? And userheads can't always be heads:

 

ETA: Now with even more info (see new table row)!
Edit (February 15, 2017): Now also with instructions for Dreamwidth.

TARDIS Go to Custom CSS and insert the code.

Dalek Go to Custom CSS and insert the code.

user/comm .ljuser img is the general code which changes the images of both, user and community.

If you want the community image to be different from the user image, use
.ljuser img[src*="userinfo"] or .ljuser img[src*="community.gif"]

For Dreamwidth it's
.ljuser img[src*="user.png"] or .ljuser img[src*="community.png"]
Where will the userhead appear? It's not like the userheads LJ sells that will show in front of only your username, whatever journal you post in.

The userhead will appear in front of every community and/or username (if it's both or just one of them, depends on which code you use [see the table cell above]) where your CSS reaches. You will see it on your journal, but not on your profile and - if you disabled customized comment pages - not on comment pages. You will see see it on other journals if you view them in your style (put ?style=mine at the end of the URL).
Others will only see it when they go to your journal.

ETA: How to make your userheads work correctly

Oh, these are cool! I didn't know you could do that.
So to get it to work I just go to the Custom CSS page and put your code into the Custom Stylesheet textbox, yeah? Or do I have to have an external stylesheet?
fueschgast[personal profile] fueschgast on October 23rd, 2011 10:03 pm (UTC)
Yes, just put it the code in the Custom Stylesheet textbox. The external stylesheet is only for links to .css files.

Thanks! One more question, and I'm sorry to be a bother but...I see them now when I view this page and any page in my style, but then I see every userhead as a TARDIS, not just mine or not just those of people who may have been here, but even pages of those who have nothing to do with Doctor Who. Is that what's supposed to happen?
fueschgast[personal profile] fueschgast on October 24th, 2011 01:54 pm (UTC)
Yes, that's exactly how it's supposed to happen. It's not like LJ's buyable userheads.

Okay, thanks so much for your help! Wonderful job on the userhead icons! Ooh, and I yoinked a Donna icon from a previous post, will credit :-D

Thank you. I now have a cool TARDIS in front of my username on my lj page instead of a boring old head. I may have to have a look at your layout tag as I'm very new to this coding stuff and want to change my own layout eventually to something customised.

I placed the code for Tardis in the Custom CSS box and it doesn't work. At first, I thought that, because I already have the code for a header, that the userhead would be nullified. I removed the header and still nothing showed up. I'm using Flexible Squares style. Could that be a problem? I'm stumped.
fuesch[personal profile] fuesch on July 19th, 2013 09:25 am (UTC)
It's LJ's fault, they changed something and now userhead codes only work when every line has an !important in it and there are .ljuser img[src*="userinfo.gif"] and .ljuser img[src*="community.gif"] instead of just .ljuser img. So the codes you need are:

.ljuser img[src*="userinfo.gif"] {
width: 0px !important;
height: 0px !important;
padding: 16px 0px 0px 12px !important;
background: transparent url(http://fatfrog.info/Ma/A/DW/userheads/TARDIS.png) no-repeat !important;
}

.ljuser img[src*="community.gif"] {
width: 0px !important;
height: 0px !important;
padding: 16px 0px 0px 12px !important;
background: transparent url(http://fatfrog.info/Ma/A/DW/userheads/TARDIS.png) no-repeat !important;
}

Now I can only see it at the top of my page, but not in any of my comments. However, I'm told by others it can be seen. Why can't I see it? I've even rebooted my computer.

Sorry, I have no idea what's causing this problem.
