A: That would be _drops-of-jupiter_. I do have a partner on here, but she doesn't have anything to do with this site. I just became obsessed with the song "Drops of Jupiter" by Train for a while, and so had almost every screen name named after it.
Q: Where do you get those pictures on the avatar backgrounds?
A: Mostly searching on Photobucket. Sometimes I just Google them, but Photobucket seems to have a lot of good stuff.
Q: What's the code for a line break? Whenever I type paragraphs on MySpace, they always mesh together! Help!
A: I just typed the code myself. That would be <br>. Whenever you type this, it is as if you hit the enter key in Microsoft Word.
Q: I did the optimization steps, but my icon still comes out weird. What do I do?
A: Make a fresh icon. Go to 'File', 'Optimization Wizard'. Press 'next' until you come to the box where there's a 'Customize' button. Press this button, and then click on the little box that says '3 colors' or however many colors your icon happens to contain at the moment. Change it to a higher number; I recommend 255 if you have a photo or cartoon in it; about 7 or 15 if you just have a plain background w/ text and animation. Now try the optimizing. It should work.
Q: How do you make a layout for your website?
A: A site layout is a pretty intricate process, and Lissa explains it all. Try going to that site; it helped me create the layouts that I use today, and it will hopefully help you, too.
Q: For making an icon, how do you save? This really annoying "optimization" thing pops up & makes my icon completely different & ugly! HELP!
A: You asked this question a little early, so i'll answer it.
=]The answer can be found here.
Q: I'm making an aim profile, actually, i finished it, but how do i get a thumbnail, or preview of it so people can see it on my website?
A: Well, it depends on how you made it. I make mine by opening an IM directed at myself, so if I by accident press "enter" then I won't IM one of my friends, and then I style the profile as I want it to be, and make text fades with the Boletrice AIM Fader and stuff. Then I take a screenshot, which you can do by pressing the key on your keyboard that is right above the "Insert" button that says "Prt Scr SysRq", and then I paste it into Paint Shop and code it and stuff, then crop out the part that is actually the profile content and I use that screenshot as my picture for the preview.
So basically, you should paste your code into an AIM window, take a screenshot, crop out the actual profile, and save it and use that as your preview.
Q: Can I make cool backgrounds with Animation Shop if I download it?
A: Well, considering it is called Animation Shop, you should've figured out that the answer is no. You can create "cool" backgrounds using brushes on Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, and then pasting or opening that background as an animation in Animation Shop. Some cool brush sites can be found here, and I downloaded most of my brushes here, and there's some good Photoshop brushes here.
Q: How do you change the color of your scrollbar in a window or div?
A: For the window in IE: In your stylesheet, you put the following code (whatever is in bold is what you can change to fit your personal preferences):
scrollbar-face-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#FFCC99;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFCC99;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#FFCC99;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FFCC99;
scrollbar-track-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFCC99;
Or if don't have a stylesheet, paste this into the HTML for your page (change the bold stuff):
<style>
BODY {
scrollbar-face-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#FFCC99;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFCC99;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#FFCC99;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FFCC99;
scrollbar-track-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFCC99;
}
</style>
For a specific div: Paste the first code in between the quotation marks of your div code (<div style=" ">).
