#theme seventeen

[itsacrimetheme]

Hi! I'm using your theme 17 - which is absolutely lovely by the way, I fell in love with it the minute I saw it - and I just love the font you used for the title, Homemade Apple. I didn't change anything to do with the font, html wise, but for some reason when I use the title the font goes a bit Garamond like :( I've decided to leave it without a title for now, do you know what could be the issue? I thought it might be because of the browser but I've checked and it isn't. :( Thanks! x

Theme 1 - 20 are retired so I don't provide support for them anymore. However, I think it could have something to do with this.

Hello, sorry to ask this as I know you said you don't answer questions about tweaking your themes but I have gone through the FAQ and AQ and google for ages and I can't seem to find a way to do what I want, so I wondered if you could possibly help me out? Totally understand if you're too busy though, no problem :) Basically what I'm trying to do is get my tags to show up on the same white bg as my posts, because they are just blending into the bg atm and are practically unreadable? Thank you!

(cont'd) Sorry I ran out of characters in the last ask! Just wanted to add that the theme I'm using is #017 and I haven't made any changes to the code at all. If you can't help for whatever reason then I also just wanted to say thanks for making such awesome themes for people to use, because I would never even know where to start trying to make something like that, and I'm happier with my theme right now than I ever have been in my 2 years on tumblr, so thank you so much :)

Thank you <3

As for your question, look for this in the code:

#tagbox a {

and then add a background colour, like so:

#tagbox a {background-color: {color:background};

this adds a background colour only to the links (as in the individual tags), not to the whole div element of the tagbox, but I think it should do the trick and make them more readable. In case you it doesn't, just add the background-color line to #tagbox. Make sure you end that line with a semicolon :)

I'm using theme 17, (its really great by the way). i was just wondering how to enlarge the icon because I've been trying for a while now but every time I change the measurements from 48px to anything bigger the picture turns pixelated. I firstly decided it must be my picture but I've tried a few different ones now and it happens everytime. So I was just wondering if you'd be able to help me?? Thanks.

The problem is that you can’t just make it any size you want, because tumblr (for whatever reason) only has a couple of predefined sizes to choose from and any deviation from those makes the icon pixelated (as an example, the size I chose for the theme is 48px, so if you change it to something like 100px the icon is still sized 48px but stretched to 100px, ergo it’s blurry and pixelated).

You find all the sizes here and if you want to change it, you’ll have to change it in both the CSS and the HTML of the theme.

I'm using theme number 17 and the like button isn't working

The like buttons are part of the tumblr interface, so if they're not working it's either that you accidentally edited something that's interfering with the code, or it's an issue with tumblr. If you edited anything in the code at all I suggest you take it out again and see if that fixes things (alternatively re-install the code and try again). If it's an issue with tumblr there's nothing you can do and you'll just have to wait it out and hope they'll fix it soon.

hi, i have a question about theme seventeen and it's probably realy dumb but i kinda such at working with themes and bla bla bla anyways my question is how do i change the tiny little picture? not the one on the sidebar but the one in the top right corner? thanks in advanced. xx

That one is your icon. You change it in your blog's settings.

i have theme #17 and i had a page then i deleted it and it's still there. How do you take it out? the page is called pop my url is shipsdaily

I don't see the page, sometimes tumblr just takes some time to update the changes.

Hi! I'm using theme #017 and i was wondering why there was no scrollbar? If i drag my mouse on the side of the screen it moves the page so its like the scrollbar is invisible. The only things i really changed about the theme was the colors. Thanks!

Chances are you changed the colours of the sidebar and description so that the scrollbar kind of dissolves into the background? You can change the colours for the scrollbar in the code here

::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {background-color:{color:background};} ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:vertical {background-color: {color:sidebar};width:7px;height:auto;border: 1px solid {color:descriptionbg};-webkit-border-radius: 1px;} ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:horizontal {background-color: {color:sidebar};width:auto;height:7px;border: 1px solid {color:descriptionbg};-webkit-border-radius: 1px;} ::-webkit-scrollbar {height:7px;width:7px;background-color:{color:background};}

On theme #17, I cannot get any images to upload for the background and sidebar. I do not know if I am picking the wrong images or if it doesn't work correctly on google or my Mc is the reason it's going wrong but I don't know how to fix it. Please answer this privately if you can so I know I haven't missed it

I have no experience with Macs so idk if that’s the issue at all (or how or why it could be). You can always upload your images somewhere else (like on photobucket or a private photo/text post on tumblr) and add the URL manually to the code though if the uploading doesn’t work for some unfathomable reason (probably tumblr being a bitch).

So, when you uploaded your background image, look through the code for this

background-image:url('{image:background}');

and change ONLY {image:background} for the URL to your background image, like so

background-image:url('http:// yoururlhere.jpg');

the same goes for your sidebar image, look for this:

and change only {image:sidebarimg} for the URL to your sidebar image, like so

Just note that after this you won’t be able to change your images via the Appearance tab/upload buttons, only via the code itself.

Also, I’m publishing this for other people who may have the same or similar issues. If you want to keep track of your answered asks, I suggest you track your tumblr URL as a tracked tag :)
