As some of you may have noticed, tumblr has begun rolling out new tumblr controls. They’re now huge and span the entire width of your blog.
Tumblr have been extremely careless with implementing this, since they didn’t even account for fixed headers on blog, and have just slapped this right on the top.
Anyway, this post is here as a compromise. It’s not as good as the old controls, mainly in that you need a new window to follow someone, but it’s the best we can do.
Important notes:
The follow button and share button launch popup windows, to be more convenient than opening a new tab, or going to another page in the current tab.
You will no longer be able to edit posts from the permalink pages. Instead, you will need to go to http://tumblr.com/edit/POSTID The post ID can be identified through the permalink page url. Below is an example with the post ID highlighted in yellow.
Credit is not required, but if someone asks, please direct them here or to this post.
In saying that, theme makers if you use I expect some form of acknowledgement.
If you found this helpful please like and reblog.
The icons are by Anton Saputro and can be found here.
I will help with minor customisation at my discretion.
It should also be noted that I cannot predict all the code in every theme, so this may not always look as expected. In this case you can ask for customisation help.
If you prefer white tumblr controls / icons add above </style>
On the linked page you will find a list of tumblr blocks and variables that are undocumented. Most were found in the new Optica default theme. You can find the official tumblr documentation here.
It is by no means comprehensive and is only from my personal experimentation. I take no responsibility for anything.
Most excitingly, it contains the needed blocks and variables for dashboard-style captions.
All that being said, it has taken me quite a few hours to put together. If you would like to donate to my paypal as a show of appreciation, it would be greatly appreciated. You can find my paypal here.
As many of you may have noticed, I haven’t been active here for a long time. It’s been almost a year since I posted my last theme (how the hell right??) and then I was just gone. I didn’t say anything because I thought I would be gone for a few weeks and that would be it, but clearly it hasn’t really turned out like that.
My mental illness(es) had a huuuuge drop last winter, I don’t want to go that much into it because it’s boring and no one cares (it’s a theme blog, people come here for themes, not for my sad ass), and it’s been very hard. I’m not very active on Tumblr at all these days other than on my main blog every now and then.
I just wanted to apologize for completely abandoning this blog. I have so many theme questions in my inbox and I haven’t responded to any of them, because I don’t have the energy. My head is in a completely different place since a year ago and making themes has not been a priority anymore.
I haven’t made a text post until now because I keep saying to myself that “one day I’ll get back into it and it will all be as normal again!”, but that clearly isn’t happening.
I haven’t completely given up on theme making or this blog, I wish I could sit down right now and re-invent this entire blog and come up with new things because I still love it! But nothing is happening right now. My brain is long overdue atm.
So everyone who has left me questions for the last couple of months; I am SO sorry that I haven’t responded. I have not updated any of my theme codes in so long and I don’t know when I will get around to doing that. I hope you can find the answer to your question somewhere else or simply use a different theme.
This is already too long of a post, but I just wanted to update you. I don’t know when I will be back, if I ever will. I’ll try to reblog resources and other stuff at least, just so this blog isn’t completely dead lol. If you read any of this, thank you. I appreciate everyone who decided one of my themes were worthy of your blog! :)
this is a simple all-in-one page with five tabs for about, social (with sections for friends, sideblogs, network, social media and testimonials), faq and message, navigation and blogroll. some knowledge of html is helpful but not required, as customisation markers are in the code.
Ciralism is back (and better than ever?) with a new multifunctional theme combining a minimalist structure that emphasizes post content with a stylized, animated menu. This theme is fully adaptable for any number of blog types! Menu animation inspired by the amazing work of web designer Brandon Termini.
