How do I edit how my sub looks?

submitted by Kuasocto from self.help

Just made https://saidit.net/s/MonsterGirlGeneral/ and was wondering how I can make the background image scroll while repeating. Also does anyone have some sort of cheatsheet for style sheet CSS code that works with saidit? I wanna make my sub look a bit prettier, more cleaned up than the barebones look. Add some logos, maybe semi transparency to the posts and alike.

You'll need to know CSS and how to use it to edit site elements in your stylesheet. You might be able to find some info here: https://saidit.net/s/SaiditCSSthemes

If you find a sub on SaidIt that already does what you want, you can read their stylesheet and apply similar code to yours: https://saidit.net/s/SUBNAME/about/stylesheet

You can also check Reddit subs and their styling. Some elements behave differently on SaidIt vs Reddit though, so it can be a bit of guess-and-checking, especially where nightmode/daymode are concerned. If you're using Reddit as a reference, be sure you're using the URL https://old.reddit.com when you're looking around, otherwise you'll end up on New Reddit which won't be helpful.

Figured couple of things out, tho it's still pretty hard. Any good subs I could get code from? Almost everything seems to be using stock. So far only saw "Decentralize everything" do anything meaningful and been trying their code since then. Right now I'm trying to add a banner/logo kinda thing, and also change it so that it wouldn't link to "saidit.net" but "https://saidit.net/s/MonsterGirlGeneral/".

I don't think this website allows stylesheet editing
