Sparkly's theming adventures

A Quick(ish) Introduction

Hello! My name is Sparkly (she/her), I'm a 20 year old design student from Brazil ✨

My first introduction to web design was making character layouts for Toyhou.se back in july of 2020: I was stuck at home (as we all were) and picked it up as an add-on to my other main things — art and writing.

I've been branching out a little over the past few years, with a (admittedly barebones and a constant WIP) website and now Tumblr themes!

I'm not sure if you're still active at all on tumblr, but I really like your theme Overture, however I'm having a hard time getting the second side bar to actual show up, like I can't even see the second one, even though I can see the orientation shift when I toggle the second sidebar option. I've gone into the HTML, thinking maybe I needed to enter info first, but nothing changed. This might be a long show since you haven't been on your blog since May, but I wanted to at least try!

Hello hello! This may be a silly question, but have you tried to turn the options on and off again? I haven't looked into why, but some of the settings of the theme start out with the toggle visually on the other side of the spectrum (on when supposed to be off/vice versa) so that might be worth taking a look orz

hi!! im looking at your theme "overture" and i am in loveeee with the sidebar and whole layout! I currently have a theme that is a grid, and i would like to kind of combine the sidebars with my current theme, or just use the overture theme but add another column. is this possible?

I haven't tried multiple columns for tumblr yet, but it should be possible with some fiddling yes! Hopefully this tutorial helps out?

o1. Overture

My first tumblr theme! Made mostly to cater to one of my sideblog's needs... but, since I've covered quite a few bases, might as well publish it, right? Let me know if there's anything I've missed, this is literally my first contact with tumblr theme editing 💙

FEATURES

— Optional header with 3 image options (displays one randomly every time you refresh the page) — One column of posts, two sidebars (one can be toggled) — Customizable post width, sidebar widths and position — Up to 5 custom links with custom icons from Cappuccicons (can also be toggled to be the links you check 'show a link to this page' on page settings) — 3 degrees of edge 'rounded-ness' for all boxes — Optional projects, about and sideblog sections — See all variables under the cut!

NOTES

— This theme is not mobile responsive. It'll display a non-intrusive warning if your screen is smaller than the content (sidebars + post column) width. — You'll need to edit the HTML directly for the projects, about and sideblog sections. They are marked with a ✨ emoji in the code.
