The layout for August is a bit late, because I made it for an entry in [livejournal.com profile] xf_is_love and my posting day there is only today. So here's my first X-Files layout - better late than never, I know! For what feels like ages I had wanted to make this layout and now I've finally done it, thanks to this community.

Click here for live preview, then click on the layout's icon.

layout info Based on Flexible Squares.
Works for all account types.
Tested in Firefox 22, Google Chrome 28 and Internet Explorer 10.

You shouldn't make the content/sidebar/maincontent any wider, but if you want, you could make it narrower. That would require some adjusting of other elements, though.
Not having the possibility to determine a point around which to rotate is really annoying! It rotates around the middle of the element. So if you have more than 4 tabs in the navheader, you’ll have to change top. But I’ve set it to a certain width, so as long as you have 6 tabs or less, you don’t have to change left.
how to implement this layout Go to the Customize Journal page.

Make sure Style System is S2.

Choose the Flexible Squares layout.

Go to Custom CSS
» Use layout's stylesheet(s): No
» Use layout's stylesheet(s) when including custom external stylesheet: No
» Use external stylesheets: No

insert custom stylesheet

Oooh!!! Just when I was telling myself: I really need a decent layout for my LJ. I'm snatching this thank you so much, this is fabulous!

Edited for quick question: How can I make the subtitle card at the top smaller?

Smaller in width/height or do you mean the font?
[identity profile] badforthefish.livejournal.com on October 7th, 2013 11:35 pm (UTC)
Sorry, I meant in height, because you end up with this mostly blank card with only the subtitle at the top. Although...hmm...looking at it now I see how it is necessary to leave room for the links and calendar, maybe changing the height will disrupt the rest of the layout?

Oh, you mean because the entries are pushed down? That's caused by wide pictures stretching the maincontent. Usually the rest of the subtitle paper is hidden.

Thanks, I sorted it. One of the pics in an entry was just too wide. I love this layout, it's like having a new LJ home. Thank you again!
