Codes by Laighlin

by the way, in the interest of keeping this hellsite somewhat functional - if you have code questions and such about themes from creators that are defunct/inactive for years/otherwise unable to help then you can ask me about ‘em, it doesn’t have to be related strictly to my own work

(not sure if this sent first time, tumblr gave me an error message) - I'm using your Circadium theme atm, which I adore, but it has an issue where as far as I can tell photos/videos that have been added to text posts rather made as photo posts don't adapt to the post formatting size and get cut off. I've looked at the code myself, but I'll freely admit I'm not a coder!! Everything else has run incredibly smoothly, especially links, so I'm hoping it's a relatively easy fix!

if you add this to the custom CSS that should fix the issue:

.tmblr-full > * { width:calc(100% + 40px); }

i’m also going to update the code to fix this in a hot second

Hi! I recently decided to use your 'Parenthetique' theme. I was looking at the HTML code, and because I know nothing about it, I was wondering about the 'audholder', 'song', and 'track name' bits. Is there a way to play music in this theme?

ah those are for displaying audio posts that you might reblog. the theme doesn’t have built-in music player support; i don’t have that on any of my themes as a general rule

hello!! love your themes sm - i started using rgba(3) recently and i just was wondering if it's possible to change the title font so that it doesn't automatically capitalize everything? thank you so much and have a nice day :))

hi! thank you! and yes just paste this into the custom CSS field in advanced customization options

#title { text-transform: initial; }

or search for “#title {” in the code itself and look for “text-transform:uppercase;” in that code block and delete just that line.

is there a way to make the default state on the Circadium 2.0 dusk?

technically there is, but because of the way i’ve set up the code for 2.0 it’s more complicated than just flipping the day/night switch, which is why i didn’t include it as a fixed state in the options.

the simplest way to do it would be to go to the javascript section of the code (enclosed in the <script></script> tags) and look for the variables day_quarter and quarter_progress in the function change_colors() block. if the time cycle is enabled, then every time the page is loaded the browser requests the time from the computer’s clock and calculates the values of those variables, which it then uses to figure out what the sky should look like at that time. you can simply override the calculation and manually insert values for the precise time you’d like to make the default.

for example, you can set day_quarter to 4 (meaning it’s literally the fourth quarter of the day, i.e. progressing from 6 pm to midnight) and quarter_progress to 0.5, which means it’s halfway between its start and end state, aka 9 pm.

(i suggest leaving the original code alone and simply inserting your chosen values below them, as i’ve done above, since that way you can just delete your changes later on - or comment them with a double slash at the beginning of the line, so the browser ignores them - if you want a dynamic time cycle again.)

you can play around with the variables to get whatever result you like the most - just remember day_quarter has to be between 1 and 4 and quarter_progress between 0 and 1. and remember to keep the time cycle option enabled or the code won’t run at all.

hope this helps!

THEME 001: NIGHTMARE BY PANOPTICONISM

developer’s note

this is my first actual theme and i have no doubt whatsoever that some details might be missing, even more so, since i created my own base code. with that being said, special appreciation to @eggdesign​ for the kickass base code, which did help a lot when i couldn’t understand some things.
the preview link can be found nestled in the source at the bottom of this post and the pastebin, ergo code, can be found on the top left corner of said preview.
i tried to make it as uncomplicated as possible and very user friendly, with enough notes across the code so you change it easily but the bigger/about everything can be adapted right from the appearance panel, no coding knowledge necessary. if you have any questions, message me and i’ll try to help asap. cheers!

the features

  • two popup pages ― one page for the navigation and another for the characters
  • the sidebar image needs to be 250 x 330
  • the image in the navigation popup needs to be 180 x 320
  • each character’s image needs to be 160 x 100
  • the colour-palette can be changed according to taste without having to go into the code ― e. g. background, container, links, hover, frames and titles
  • font size and navigation links can also be changed right on tumblr’s appearance panel
  • there are three links at the bottom of a post - one displaying the post’s number notes and two more holding the reblog button and the source code ― however, if the notes number equals to zero or there’s no source code to be found, these two won’t display
  • the possibility of toggling the characters’s page on or off / if off, an extra link will appear
  • lastly, the pinned function has also been added

the conditions

  • don’t claim it as your own, don’t redistribute and much less steal parts of the code and use it elsewhere
  • the credits are non-negotiable, ergo, don’t touch my credits unless it is to fit with your colour-palette
  • appreciate the hours spent on this free theme by pressing the button, giving this post a reblog or by following the link right under to my ko-fi page

[THEME 30] Papercrush

My first time submitting something to the theme garden, haha. This theme experiments with neumorphism - a modern response to the skeuomorphic UI styles of the 2000s, when designers tended to make elements look realistic and not just like flat objects on a screen. By nature this is a very low-key, low-contrast sort of style, which in my experience has a soothing effect - but a “flat mode” does exist too, with the drop shadows replaced by borders, for those who prefer the 2010s look.

Layout-wise, this was inspired by and named after Peter Vidani’s Papercut theme, the first I ever used on Tumblr. I thought the single column look and cute post info “bubbles” had aged well and wanted to create a more up-to-date version that supported NPF posts.
