Mail Notification v6
by Mottie
Description
This mod opens a popup to notify you if you have a new mail message. It was written for users who wish to hide their top menu bar (state bar/log in bar). Or if you just want a bigger message telling you that you have mail. I've set it up to open either a growl window (timed popup) or a facebox (popup you have to close).
For more information on the custom variables, please see
this post
.
To style the growl window (pictured above), use the "Growl Window Styling" Mod or refer to
this post
.
To style the Facebox popup window, please refer to
this post
.

Signup Status Color v5
by Mottie
Description
This mod will add CSS classes to the character status, so you can set the color yourself with the CSS and the script will do the rest. Within the script, you can set it to just color the Status column or the entire row. This is what it will look like:

Fixed Background for CSS?

Ok, since I got such great help on my other post, I'm back for more!
Is there a simple code that I can paste in my Custom Style Sheet that will fix my background? I don't use the style sheet for anything else, it's currently empty except for the little banner image tag.
I would love for the background to stay in place while the content of the site scrolls.
I've tried searching all over the web, but none of the little tutorials seem to work for GP. Is there an easy answer?

Actually, it isn't an illusion. If you like you can put a centered pic in the background and freeze it in place.. or it can be tiled, or whatever you like. Here's a sample.
body{
color: e7e7e7;
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url('http://www.yourimagehost.com/pub /pics/Background.jpg');
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000077;
BACKGROUND-REPEAT: repeat;
BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT: fixed;
}
If you use the CSS to put you background in place you can make it, basically, imobile. The repeat option means it will repeat out rather than run out if someone's browser is longer than it is.
Hope that helped.

What Eorendil posted is exactly how I fixed our background. It is a simply tiled texture that is fixed. Link is in my sig if you want to see if that is what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks for the input, guys.
That code is just what I was looking for, but it doesn't work. When I paste the code in my style sheet, edit the url and colors (black), enable the custom syling. . . everything goes white. All my content remains correct, but the background and the content backgrounds are white.
Is this because I'm not using the stylesheet for anything else?
Yes, Dealla, that's exactly what I want!

Post your CSS Code. Likely, It something simple. You've no idea how many times I've left out a semi-colon or a space or a quote..

Ok, here's what I copy/ pasted from your post:
body{color: 000000;
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j87/Lethalladies/LL-logo-2fromNeraNoBorderDark.gif);
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000;
BACKGROUND-REPEAT: repeat;
BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT: fixed; }
So, I just threw that in my stylsheet and hit 'Save'.
(I saw you had quotations around the URL, I tried with and without those- I wasn't sure if you meant for me to use them)
EDIT: Yikes! I went back to my stylesheet and removed the " $block[bannerimage] " -that seemed to work and made my background fixed. BUT- My content boxes went transparent and I need them to stay black, and a bunch of my text all changed color.
I don't expect anyone to spend their time writing a code for me, so if this is getting too complicated- just let me know! I don't know enough about CSS to know what I'm getting into. But I do appreciate the help I'm getting.

body {color: 000000;
add the # sign in front of your hex code.
That probably isn't what's borking your page, but # should be there.
body {color: #000000;
You can also combine some of the elements there so that there aren't as many bits for the browser to read.
body{
color: #000;
background: #000 url('http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j87/Lethalladies/LL-logo-2fromNeraNoBorderDark.gif') repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
By the way, your header image and all your box corners still have that white background in IE. The images need to be changed to gifs rather than png's. Png's transparency do not render correctly in all browsers.
Example Here

Ack! Thanks for revealing my white spots! I use IE at work and occasionally at home, and the white doesn't show- so I thought it was fixed. But maybe it depends on which version of IE. Anyway, that will be my first project when I get home tonight!
I'll try it again with the # sign in front of my hex colors, we'll see what happens.
EDIT: Tried it. Yeah, same thing.

You also need the apostraphe/quote thing inside the parenthesis, around the url. Try this in stead.
body{
color: #000000;
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url('http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j87/Lethalladies/LL-logo-2fromNeraNoBorderDark.gif');
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000;
BACKGROUND-REPEAT: repeat;
BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT: fixed;
}
EDIT: I tested this out on my site just to test it and it worked fine. I put it back though.. *grins* Using CSS does nullify some of the GuildPortal easy settings. I ended up doing most of my customer stuff in CSS and am in the process of a complete rework of my site.
If you continue to have trouble maybe we could synchronize something and I could look at he source for your site when its acting up. No worries on helping though. I don't mind wracking my brain on things.. my time to do such is usually sporadic, however.
