Base (container) theme: Cantrous (Live Preview). Download: Code / Template Tutorial: BG .PSD How-to | Tutorial: Capital Letter styling explained Light variant of the Francis theme, which can be found here
After having seen increasing appreciation for a lighter variant of one of my other themes, I’ve opted to do the same for one of my older themes, Francis. Similarly to my other themes, this is made to be as user-friendly as possible through use of meta-tags, which allows you to do most of the editing (including popup pages) outside of the code. Features include extras such as my text-wrapping, first-letter/capital styling, boxed blockquotes and fully integrated/styled popup pages— all which can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch.
PLEASE READ / IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. To get your askbox working in the popup page: While I mentioned that you generally do not need to venture into the code of this theme, this is the one thing you do need to venture into the coding for. But it’s very simple, simply click on Edit HTML, then click the little cogwheel icon at the very top, then choose ‘Find and replace’, in the left box that just appeared, you type YOURURLHERE and in the one on the right, you type your own URL, then click ‘All’. Here, let me show you.
2. Popup pages not appearing? Go into your blog’s settings and make sure that the option‘Always serve blog over SSL‘ is turned off, in other words, it needs to be grayed out, like so. This option has the tendency to interfere with a lot of coding, including popup pages and music players.
3. Subheaders for your popup pages (similar to the little headers in your description box) are created by wrapping your text like so: <h4>Your text here</h4>
4. If you utilize the boxes on the customization page for your popup pages, I’m aware that they are a little wonky. Sadly, this is something on Tumblr’s end and therefore out of my control. I would suggest writing what you want in a program such as Notepad or Wordpad and then copying it over into the respective boxes.
If you intend to use the theme, please like or reblog this post. You’re under no obligation whatsoever to do so, but I’d immensely appreciate it!
