would you consider making moonchild a contained theme? if not thank you for answering!

hi there!! i’d rather not contain the entire thing like my earlier themes, but i’ve given a tutorial below to achieve something similar to the contained version of scripted. i won’t be making this an official release since it’s not something i envisioned for the theme, but i can help with simple questions if you need it! 

SO. with the rest of the variables/meta tags, add in this:

if you want it where i usually put it, then search for and place it right beneath it! this is also the generic color i use for when you install my themes, so it goes with the white/gray minimal look i typically use. if you want you can set it at a different color in the meta tag, but this is just so the color will show up on your customize page! it makes for easy editing. if you want to add a container background image then that’s something entirely different! 

you’ll see i have meta tags for images as well, so go ahead and search for those at the top! there’s icon, background and then a bunch of muses and everything like that. above all of those, add in this:

like the container color, this will make it so you’re able to add in the image from the customize page instead of uploading it elsewhere and using a url. 

now to add the stuff into the code and make everything fit. search for entries { in the code. it’ll look something like this:

#entries {    position:absolute;    width:{select:post size}px;    margin-left:300px;    padding-right:12px;    margin-top:0px;    padding-bottom:60px;}

we’re going to go ahead and add in some sizing to make it all fit, along with some other adjustments to make it look nicer and fit with the rest of the theme. 

#entries {    position:absolute;    width:{select:post size}px;    margin-left:300px;    margin-top:0px;    background-color:{color:container};    {block:ifBorders}    border:1px solid {color:border};    {/block:ifBorders}    height:338px;    overflow:auto;    padding:25px;    border-radius:{select:border radius};    background-image:url('{image:Container}');    -webkit-filter: grayscale(0%);    -webkit-transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;    -moz-transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;    -o-transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;    -ms-transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;    transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;}

if you have any questions on why i’ve added or changed things then you’re free to ask. however, there is another adjustment you’re going to want to make in entry (right below entries) if you want it to look nicer? because the posts are separated more than they normally would be in a contained theme, so look for margin-bottom:80px; and change it to margin-bottom:25px;. this will fit the padding i’ve set in place. 

for the container image if you’d like to use it, the sizing will be post size+50px in width and 388px in height. i’ve calculated the container height to be based on the muse pop-up being enabled and all the space in the sidebar being used. you may need to adjust the height if you want it to fit perfectly!

i'm sorry if this is bothering you, and i'm sure i can find a tutorial to do this on my own, but i was wondering if it was possible to add a footer like on moonchild to hobgoblin, where the pagination, online counters and search bar would go - or if it would just be best left as a cute little sidebar

hi there! it’s definitely possible if you make the sidebar shorter. otherwise it’ll cut-off some of the sidebar on most computer screens. if you want i can do a quick version with a smaller sidebar and the bottom info?

hey, hope i'm not bothering you! i'm using moonchild and when i click the muses popup, it's completely blank. have you ran into that problem at all?

hi there!! not a bother at all. i know i mentioned it in passing the other day, but you need to make sure you disable and then reable all the options you want. they might look like they’re set but they aren’t! if it’s still not working then message me off-anon with either the blog url or from the blog you’re using it on!

for your theme "moonchild" i absolutely adore the color scheme and was wondering if you could release it ? im absolutely terrible with them

hi!! i believe i used the colors i have when the theme is installed. if you were using one of my themes previous, or any theme with variable names that are the same as mine then the colors won’t work properly, though! my suggestion is to go to the customize page > browse themes > select the generic tumblr theme and then re-install the code. as for the accent colors, i believe i had used this #88a9aa for the bolded text (the blue shade is this one) and then #bb7f6c for the italics and title. i’ve been using the blog to test/preview other themes since, so i no longer have the specific scheme. however, you can source code my preview if you want, or i can attempt to come up with something similar. sorry!

Hello! doubt about the theme of the full moon. Is it possible to add more muses on the page by code?

hi there! i answered a question about this a couple of days ago, so check over there for some more information. 

[scftlcves]

hi, i love ur themes and u're so precious. are u think about a contained version from moonchild??

thank u!!! im glad you think so?? you’re the sweetest. as for moonchild tho, the entire idea behind the theme was to have a minimal mumu-friendly theme that is uncontained and features a lot of options. so with that being said, i will not be personally making a contained version for release. i’ve given a tutorial in this ask to make a contained version yourself, and have offered to assist you with problems.

hey love! sorry for bothering you but I wanted to ask you if in your moonchild theme it is possible to add more than twelve muses? I try to do it by modifying the code but then they just do not appear in the pop-up.

WELL, it definitely is but you probably had issues when you went to do it….bc i suck, basically??? lmao. i’ve updated the pastebin code (go here) to feature sixteen muses. i don’t suggest going above that, to be honest? if you have more then maybe put your primaries on the tab and have an additional page with others? if that makes sense? 

ummm you could possibly do it if you made the pop-up bigger and added a fifth muse in each row or something like that? but the pop-up on allows four in each as is, and adding the additional fourth row onto the already three existing made the pop-up pretty full! if you want to add another row i can probably do a tutorial for ya at some point this weekend. 

also, since i just had a small Moment about this: make sure you disable all your toggles and then turn on the ones you want because if even one isn’t properly working, the muse tab stops working for some reason?? idk.
