How it works: To use this templates you simply have to copy the content of one of the text fields, paste it into the CSS field on your pet's Edit profile page and click Save Profile CSS. You are allowed to edit them for your own use, you don't even have to give me credit. Just don't go and claim you made everything on your own, that's all I ask for. You are not allowed to put these on your own website for other people to use or sell edited versions. If you're caught doing so, you'll earn yourself a warning.

Fan sites: If you own a fan site that offers free pet profiles, you may post edits of this templates as long as they consist of more than just a few changed colors. You don't have to give any further credit as long as you leave the first line of the CSS as it is. As already mentioned in the paragraph above, you are not allowed to just repost the templates as they are. If you have any questions about this, feel free to mail me. I usually don't bite. x3

Known problems: After saving your CSS a backslash (\) is added before every apostrophe or quotation mark. This only becomes visible when you reaload the page (or close it and re-open it later) and causes problems as soon as you save the CSS again as it results in image replacements to stop working. This does not affect changes on modules.


On a side note: Please don't ask me how to edit profiles or how to set a certain element to a certain color. CSS is not too hard to learn and there are tons of good tutorial sites out there (W3Schools for example). There you will also find a list of html colors.

Image Replacements

If you want to replace one of the pet images on your pet's profile with customized one, modify the respective code and simply add it at the end of your CSS.

Companion image

Buddy image

Enemy image



Adding a background image

If you want to add a background image to a pet profile, you have to edit some information in the body tag.

Before



After


Yes, this looks gruesome since the background absolutely doesn't fit in with the rest of the profile, but it'll do as an example. XD
You can find this and more customizable patterns at COULOURlovers.com


background-repeat
If you are using a seamless pattern like I did in the example, you have to repeat it using background-repeat. The following values can be used:
repeat - repeats the image both horizontally and vertically
repeat-x - repeats the image horizontally
repeat-y - repeats the image vertically
no-repeat - displays the image only once and doesn't repeat it


Fixed backgrounds
If you want to add a background image that does not scroll with the rest of the page, add background-attachment: fixed; to the body tag. This will result in the content of the profile scrolling over the image.

Example




Keeping the header
As you might have noticed, adding a background removes the bar on top of the profiles. If you want to keep the header and still have your own background image, you can add the header image to #containHead instead.
To do that simply replace
