display name Options

How do you edit your display name? Not just enlarge it, but highlight it, too?

[clarity]

Highlight it? Hm, can you show me a screenshot/link to a page with this.

Add this:

CODE

.nametext{
color: ff6561;
font: 8pt georgia;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 1px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
background-color: f1e6a8;
background-image: url('');
background-repeat:repeat;
text-align:Right;
text-transform:uppercase;
cursor:ne-resize; border-color:20A87C; border-top:1px dashed;display:block;}

edit to your liking.

[infatuatedxsoul]

Thank you(=

[Intercourselyts]

Awe, your very welcome

[infatuatedxsoul]

WAIT!

You need to place it in Style Tags.

CODE

<style>.nametext{
color: ff6561;
font: 8pt georgia;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 1px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
background-color: f1e6a8;
background-image: url('');
background-repeat:repeat;
text-align:Right;
text-transform:uppercase;
cursor:ne-resize; border-color:20A87C; border-top:1px dashed;display:block;}</style>

[infatuatedxsoul]

THANK YOU(=
but what does "cursor:ne-resize; border-color:20A87C;" that do??

[aubreeyy]

THANK YOU(=
but what does "cursor:ne-resize; border-color:20A87C;" that do??

cursor:ne-resize creates an arrow pointing northeast.
border-color:20A87C creates a border with that color given.

I'm pretty sure.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Hm, that shouldn't be there. It changes the cursor. Try this:

CODE

<style>.nametext{
color: ff6561;
font: 8pt georgia;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
background-color: f1e6a8;
text-align:Right;
text-transform:uppercase;
border-color:20A87C; border-top:0px dashed;display:block;}</style>

You can change the color. Right now the code that they gave you has it set to uppercase letters and aligned to the right (you could also center it). You can also change the color of the text and the background color. If you need help just let me know.

[infatuatedxsoul]

so when you hover over my name, the cursor changes?

& my font size wont change..i'm tryna set it to a larger one, but it wont work.

[Intercourselyts]

^Yea thats all that happens, sorry I always do those weird little things on my own myspace

yea, meaning it just changes the cursor when someone goes over it, although it doesn't change your font size or anything.

[infatuatedxsoul]

soo i cant change font size, even if i take out the code to change cursor hovering? cuhs i don't really want the cursor changing thing.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

^ Yeah, I changed the cursor thing in the code I posted so just use that.

And, if to change the font find font: 8pt georgia; and change the 8 to a bigger number.

[infatuatedxsoul]

it still doesnt work ='(

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Perhaps this?

CODE

<style>.nametext{
color: ff6561;
font-size: 12pt; font-family:georgia;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
background-color: f1e6a8;
text-align:Right;
text-transform:uppercase;
border-color:20A87C; border-top:0px dashed;display:block;}</style>

[infatuatedxsoul]

nope.. ;(

[Intercourselyts]

Here I'll explain it to you:

In order to the coding so you know what to edit:

color: ff6561; - If you change FF6561 it will change the text color.
font-size: 12pt; font-family:georgia; - Change the 12pt to change the size of the text, then change Georgia to any name of the font you would like it to be.
font-weight: bold; - Change the word Bold to whatever you would want the font to show as, so right now its bold, you can change it to none though.
letter-spacing: 1px; - You can change the 1px to change the spacing between each letter.
background-color: f1e6a8; Change the F1E6A8 to change the background color behind the text.
text-align:Right; - Change the Right to whereever you would like the text to be positioned to, so it can change the Right/Left/Center.
text-transform:uppercase; - If you read it then its pretty self-explantory. You can get rid of the Uppercase to none or Lowercase, and it changes all the letters to whatever you set it to.
border-color:20A87C; Change the 20A87C to change the border color.
border-top:0px dashed; - You can change the Top to Bottom if you would like the border to come up on the bottom instead or you can just get rid of it. You can also change the 0px to any number of how big you would like the border to be.
display:block; - This just means that the background will show up as a block behind the text like this:


Hope you understand


Also are you trying to change the text above your picture? If so can I please have a your myspace link, because there may be something on your myspace already that is making it so this isn't working right.

[infatuatedxsoul]

umm no, thanks for taking time to make me understand, but i already do. the problem is that it wont enlarge. the font size stays small.

myspace.com/justine_yay

it's on private so i don't think you can view unless you're under 18 :/

[miiichellley]

Apparently, i wrote a script on this.
http://www.createblog.com/scripts/download.php?id=475

is that what you want?
Just add a border color and a background color, and it'll be highlighted

[infatuatedxsoul]

none of the codes are working for me for some reason... :/ thanks for helping, everybody...but nothing seems to work.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

I can see it just fine. Maybe it's a browser problem?

[infatuatedxsoul]

really? you can see it the way i want it? bcos the way i want it... the font is supposed to be big.
