Sherlock userheads  
I hope John is recognizable. Sherlock obviously is, but would you know John is supposed to be John if you only saw the picture with no mention of what fandom this userhead is for? Also, as much I like beige and I know people are pretty fond of the jumper, but I didn't want John to be monochromatic.

 

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

CSS This is the Sherlock code. For John just change 'Sherlock' to 'John' in the image URL.

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

You already have .ljuser img codes in there that are overriding the new code. You need to find the old ones and take them out.

I think I got it working. Just to double check. I have the Sherlock image showing up everywhere, but it's not at the my address bar (usual generic lj user image is there. Is that how it's supposed to be? The image shows up everywhere else on my journal (had to do a lot of deleting before I could have it show up like it should).~Sophia

The CSS is on your journal, so it won't affect the address bar.

I thought so. Thanks!~Sophia
