Moodtheme fix!
Jun. 3rd, 2010 08:24 pmYou guys! With a billion thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
antiqueskies *bows at her feet*, I managed to get my moodtheme back to its normal size!! :D
See if it works for you - go to your Customize Journal page, look for the Custom CSS link, and if you're like me and have just an empty box there (or maybe code for a header like a lot of folks do), enter this -
/* Width & Height for Moods */
IMG.meta-mood-img {
max-width: 125px;
max-height: 100px;
}
IMG#mood_image_preview {
max-width: 125px;
max-height: 100px;
}
...and save the changes. If your moodtheme of choice is larger than 125x100, change the numbers accordingly.
WOOHOO!! I have my moodthemes back!! :D
ETA: Addendum fromantiqueskies -
That code probably varies by layout type. If you use Firefox, download the Web Developer Extension. Open up your LJ (the standard username.livejournal.com page). Then go to Tools > Web Developer > CSS > View Style Information. A red outline will appear that follows your cursor. Hover over the image of your mood on the first entry (or any; it shouldn't matter) and left-click once. On the bottom of your screen it should pull up the specific code in the CSS your layout is using to define the mood theme image. Copy that into the Customize CSS section, edit to the size you would like it to be, and it should work. (I'm not sure, but I think you'll also have to change all of the drop-downs to "No" on the Customize CSS page as well.)
I noticed there were quite a few people with the problem, so if you can't resolve just drop me a comment and I'll help you out as best as I can. :)

Need a favour, guys
Jun. 2nd, 2010 04:55 pmI mentioned the other day that I'd noticed my moodthemes were looking shrunken. Well, turns out it's something LJ "fixed" back in March, that "Non-conforming images will now be automatically resized for custom mood themes."
Seriously? SERIOUSLY??
Okay, so this has made me angry. I put a heck of a lot of time and effort into these moodthemes, and now they're all shrivelled up. There never used to be size restrictions on custom moodthemes, so what exactly they're "non-conforming" to I have no idea. And I've told them about it. I went to this feedback post and left a comment asking them to change it back.
And now I'm asking for a favour. Please, please, PLEASE, if any of you have noticed the shrunk-down-ness of your own custom moodtheme, or if you've used or enjoyed one of mine, or if you just plain want to give a gal a helping hand, PLEASE comment to that post as well and ask them to change it back to the way it used to be. We used to be able to input the size of our own moodthemes, but now they all have to be the same no matter how much time and effort we've put into them, and that is NOT FAIR. They allow us to make and upload our own moodthemes. It isn't something we're doing behind their backs - it's a feature of a paid account. They should allow us to have them the way we want them. Mine are only 124x70 at the largest. That does NOT take up too much room.
This is the reason why I get a paid account - for the pretty moodthemes and userpics. They're gonna lose my business if this doesn't change.
For the record, this is the size my mood is supposed to be -
Do you see the difference?
