commission for @hockenberry basically done (’neon, lots of green, purple and yellow, cabs, police/graffiti and Adam Baldwin in his 80s movie D.C. cab’)

yes, it took me one day, no that’s never gonna happen again lmao it’s because the base was basically there, I just had to delete all unneeded things from the former theme I made and then add all the new ones and code for twelve hours straight today 

now waiting for her review and potential last few touches, then I’ll add a few more things to my commissions form and the themes-document and I’ll re-open again  also I ‘made’ my own animation after I didn’t find anywhere a way to go back and forth and now I think I get them much better, I’m so happy 

note that having her on discord ready to pick between options and answer questions sped it up a lot too

I’ve only worked on it for one hour and a half so ignore most fonts but this is a tiny preview of the aro-ace theme! which is also super customizable and will change background at every refresh - and allow you to pick all the colors of sidebar and container and even bigcontainer background and the blending of the bigcontainer background gif (also because then you can change flag colors as pleased or colors in general if you are just aro or just ace)

(this is the bigcontainer with a different blending that lets you see better the colors:

i couldn’t find spades-icons so I had to go with cats. and dragons and spades as list points:

not that you can't change it and use it for other reasons beside aro-aceness or aro-ness or ace-ness tho

you guys I don’t want to spam but I am so happy - last night I was losing my mind and it turns out that coding for 10 hours isn’t great, and maybe if you take a break at 3am and start again the next day you may actually realize what you were doing wrong (also known as ‘the second I stopped calling the container for the posts random names and named it #container2 I realized what I was supposed to do)

look you can change post-size and it changes with you, it’s always in the middle, I’m going to make it customizable as hell color-wise and opacity wise kfsdksgs

@octomoosey​ I’m going to tag you just this once (and if I ever find this theme good enough to be shared) to thank you so much for all those tutorials, especially the calc one 

if only because I’m so used to feeling stupid and thanks to your blog right now I do not

the second I’m done with this new java course (if I can wait that long) I am SO re-doing my theme and using what I learned for it

I look back now after the web design class and realize how many things I could have done differently - made them much easier to code for me!!! - but nope, not redoing all my themes a third time, not even close

finding kinda hard to finish the theme I’m working on though, because I have too many things I want to try lol

working on a portfolio for the final exam of the web design course so tumblr coding has taken a break in favor of me losing my mind trying to code a website (at least front-ending it, I don’t have server to receive data) 

still, I stopped at a good point

the container and posts are left - as well as the actual colors for the day version of the blog because I don’t like the preview ones (but I needed to see the difference)! 

thank you @18hg for the encouragement!!! I saw your comment and promptly forgot to reply lol <3

this is obviously just the skeleton, but while following the basic java lessons I decided to try to make my own functions for a blog - specifically a potentially multimuse theme which will get a videogame look and when you click on the preview pic it will show you the bigger image and description that the blogger will have added (and it’s really easy, it’s like adding a normal description) 

it will take me five years if only because I don’t have much time to code right now but here’s a first example:

 i am so happy it worked

the spring theme is finally done!

I’m so freaking happy

I just need to decide if i want to do the whole ‘write a font and a font-size for all kinds of titles and tags etc from the custom page’ or leave those for people to customize in the html editor by themselves  (while the theme when installed will initially look exactly like the preview so one can also choose not to change anything)

but I’ll leave that to tomorrow because my ear problem is making hard to work on it for more than a few hours at a time

it has LOTS of options so it will require a long explanation post to let people know what they can do with it (for example choosing between uploading a background or picking one among the options I offered, and adding/removing an optional overlay and optional gradient on top of the background itself) 

-and I think I’ll make it “premium” at a ko-fi price?

though I’m terrified that there will be mistakes that I never make simply because I decided not to share it for free

I paused my data analysis class because I was too sick to take notes and focused on the freecodecamp one, and to get the certification I have to win 5 challenges, one was to make a ‘product landing page’ following these stories

and this is what I did, obviously with fake links and everything but I used it as an inspiration for the design https://codepen.io/Kalipinna/full/MWJRgzN

and I’m so pleased by the result? also because I think I may have understood automatically responsive fonts and because I will definitely use these things for tumblr themes in the future!
