  • [justify][sup]As an introduction: this thread is not only a "free fancypost" type thread, but also a resource for coders, to learn new techniques that are just now being discovered- to pioneer them, so to speak. All fancyposts placed here are free, but donations are much appreciated.


    So, I've noticed that there is a fancypost that is rapidly becoming a much-loved fancypost style. this fancy is what people are calling a "photo-manipulated fancypost". From what I've seen, people create this fancypost using Gimp or Photoshop to manipulate an image and a bit of text to make it fade to a specific color, which then becomes the color of the text fancypost.


    Now, what if you don't have Gimp or Photoshop? Then you have to go to somebody who does and ask them to make it for you, in which case you have to wait and/or pay. Then, you can't customize it, and so you have to request one per character / usage. That's no fun, is it? Especially for people who are used to making their own fancies.


    Well, I decided to find a way to do it using only codes, and then make it public, so that if you wanted to, you could easily make a simple "photo-manipulated" fancy. Keep in mind that this is not going to be able to achieve everything that a fancypost made in Photoshop or Gimp could, but it will be simpler and less resource and time expensive.

  • [justify][sup]What codes are used in these fancyposts?


    Well, outside of just the basics (text color, justify, etc.) there are some little known codes that have been put to work.


    These fancyposts are a compilation of several weeks' work and research on my part, discovering and testing things such as gradient, background-position, and minimum-maximum height (shoutout to Dreamie who discovered min-max height here: click).


    The first thing you will find about them is that they are able to be completely customized, meaning that it is all code (except for the header image). That makes them different from other photo-manip fancies. There are plenty of codes to be covered.


    #1 is a fancypost code that I use a lot in these. Box-shadow

  • [sup]how does one make these fancies, you might ask. maybe you want to make your own, and expand on it.


    well first of all, i definitely do not mind that, just please credit me if you use mine as "inspiration" or a base fancy.


    now, there are five guides below [ that need to be expanded on ] - one for each fancy, one for editing, one for making it, and one more for the individual codes. this thread is, after all, a resource for both coders and non-coders.
