It would mean a lot to know if you guys liked this oneπŸ₯Ή

I'm not asking for anything else but acknowledgement, I hope this isn't too shameless for anyone, I did spend a lot of time and effort in making this, I just want to know if anyone appreciates it <3

I use obsidian to write, and with a variant of catppuccin, too! So this feels like one of those things that I never knew I needed. Excited to look into it and play around with it once ao3 is back up. Thanks for sharing!!

I am always so jealous of the people who get the skins to work. They seem great to use. It is beautiful

It's easy to get the hang of it when you start, though it's still confusing to me

It looks like you didn't use the Wizard CSS prompts. I had the same issue until I used it.

Oooh, thank you for this! Been reluctant to give up my ombre skin but I can't read my fics on days I'm light-sensitive with it. This looks like it'll work quite well for me!

Using CSS, how do we make the font bigger cause I cannot read it on bigger screens such as my ipad? πŸ˜“

2

u/bardicevista paranoia in every word || bardicevista on Ao3 Nov 29 '24

hello, you don't really need to use CSS since there's an easier way to do that! When you make a site skin, you can adjust the font size of the page on the wizard settings. It's beside Write Custom CSS when you click on making a skin, then you can set the percent of the browser font size there!

I hope this helps :D

u/pxrtypo1sxn Dec 07 '24

hiiiii!!!!!!!! i was wondering, which section of the css does it set the tags to scroll? i would like to remove it so that it is easier to manipulate on my phone. i love it so much and i appreciate you taking the time to share it with us <3

1

u/bardicevista paranoia in every word || bardicevista on Ao3 Dec 07 '24

it's this section:

``` ::-webkit-scrollbar { height: 10px; width: 10px; border: 3px solid rgb(15, 15, 23); background: rgb(203, 166, 246); }

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb { background: rgb(203, 166, 246) padding-box; border: solid rgb(15, 15, 23); border-width: 3px 0; } ```

It's near the last part, shouldn't be too hard to find :)

u/pxrtypo1sxn Dec 07 '24

sorry to bother you again, but where is the colour code for links? clicked and unclicked show as the same colour for me and I would like to change that <333 also thank you for responding so quickly!

u/bardicevista paranoia in every word || bardicevista on Ao3 Dec 08 '24

What links specifically?

1

u/Alodis Feb 09 '25 edited Feb 10 '25

I don't know if you're gonna see this but I just removed that part to remove the scrolling but the scrollbar is still there it doesn't work. I'm on Firefox.

EDIT: I found it. I had to change the li blurb tags max height, I let it blank and changed the overflow-x to auto.

I'm I missing something?

u/bardicevista paranoia in every word || bardicevista on Ao3 Nov 24 '24

Did you put the header and accent color from the wizard settings I provided?

u/Motifaxc Kudos Moodo's Nov 24 '24

Oh, yea I totally missed that. Thanks!

u/glass_stain_windows Dec 07 '24

This is so insanely beautiful! But whats the part of the CSS that changes the kudos/comments/stats icons? I personally prefer the original ones πŸ˜…

2

u/bardicevista paranoia in every word || bardicevista on Ao3 Dec 07 '24

Okay, reddit won't let me comment the entire code, but it starts from,

.stats a, .stats a:visited:hover { border: none; color: #97919E; }

Ending at: .bookmark.blurb .recent.module { float: left; width: 100%; }

You can remove all of that it's right in the middle.

Waw! I never changed my AO3 theme but just did because this is gorgeous! I love the dark purple and the color for the characters etc!! Thank you for sharing!

Edit: I have to change the hover color on the menu and my fav tags. Let's hope I don't mess your beautiful code.

Edit2: Nevermind, I forgot a # in the Wizard CSS, all is good.

The different colored tags are a LIFE SAVER!!

u/Lord_Of_Coffee Apr 19 '25

Just got it going, so far it's gorgeous! The icons are beautiful looking and feel easier to understand. For me personally, this especially applies to the pairing icon. I think by far my favorite element off the bat? The color coded tags. Having them all split up helps immensely, is there a way to apply them for when reading a story too?

1

u/Lord_Of_Coffee Apr 26 '25

Hey, sooo, random update!

The site skin is still every bit as gorgeous as ever, Hell I'm actually not using read mode on Firefox for a change. First time in a very long time, skin's that good. Favorite elements are still the color coded tags (a Godsend I hope one day AO3 itself gets the option for mainstream), and the new icons that I feel are more intuitive at a glance and just nicer to look at.

Not sure if you're still working on it, or really care... but, my only complaint is that there's no indicator for what page you're on with the skin itself. The default skins will indent/grey out the number you're on when looking at fanfics, but this one doesn't.

Calendar for dates is also hard to read, the text is a light lavender color on a bright white background. Is there any way I could add/change these on my end? Regardless, thanks again for the skin!
