Thank you!

• I have a backgrounds tag and a background masterpost
• at the beginning of my theme resource post there’s links to places that host backgrounds (this is where I get most of my backgrounds from) + more masterposts
• huge masterpost of background masterposts
• pixel scenery backgrounds (if you have photosensitive epilepsy please be careful with this)
• and a couple more masterposts

I hope this helps!

I get these questions a lot, even though I’ve actually stated in my FAQ that I don’t know how these music players work, since I’ve never installed one myself (it’s nice to know you are reading the FAQ, guys). 

So my short answer is: I don’t know.

But I’m going to be really nice and do some research for you. And from now on I won’t be answering any more questions about music players.

There are actually some pretty simple instructions on the Billy player’s web page. 

But here’s more: Gyapo, Yukoki and Ixora have written great tutorials on this. 

But wait, there’s still more! If you want to style the audio player, there are tutorials written for that too! Here, here and here are some by Gyapo (bless you). Here, here and here are some by Fukuo. And here are some music gifs.

This is a freaking awesome masterpost for music players/tabs!!

If you still can’t figure out how to do it. Try again. I, and so many other themes makers with me, are self taught. We learnt by trial and error. So I’m sure you can to!

And now, I won’t be answering any more questions about music players. Have a great day!

Here are some CSS goodies I’ve been using a couple of my themes and are perfect to add to your themes for a polished look.

Change up the selection color

Don’t stick with the drab defaults that show in your browser when you highlight stuff. A simple CSS snippet below (thanks HTML5 Boilerplate) can be used to change the color:

::-moz-selection { background: #f2f2f2; color: #fff; }
::selection { background: #f2f2f2; color: #fff; }

Replace #f2f2f2 with your color of choice.

Get fancy blockquotes

So you’ve tried all the possible CSS styles to add to quotes?

Make your own pure CSS arrows with CSS Arrow Please which automatically generates CSS based on your inputs. Just change .arrow_box to whatever the class you’re using for your blockquotes to add this interesting effect.

Sweet transparency

If you aren’t aware you can use RGBA colors to add transparency.

The RGB part you might be familiar with, it’s the red, green and blue mix for the color. The cool stuff happens with the A (alpha), use this to set a transparency to the color.

Here’s an example. In the CSS I’ve set the background color of the object like this:

#promo_box {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9);
}

Notice how instead of just making the background pitch black, it’s made it a bit transparent, just what we wanted.

Shadows: back in black

CSS3 introduces box shadows, you’ve probably already seen it in a couple of themes already.

The properties that ‘box-shadow’ takes, shown below, are horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, spread distance and color.

article {
box-shadow: 0 0 5px -3px #000000;
}
