We have been receiving comments asking for a step-by-step guide on how to set-up or make your own theme. We have provided several tutorials and this post will simply layout the steps you need to do and direct you to each specific tutorials. Let this be your simple guide to start making your own theme by constructing your own CSS.
For example, if you have your banner image’s URL copied, paste it on background part of the specified CSS:
div.owner_nav {background:URL of Banner Image;}
For the Footer Image, paste it on the background part of the specified CSS below:
div#ownedfooter {background:URL of Banner Image;}
For the background of the entire page commonly known as body background, paste it on on the background part of the specified CSS below:
body {background:URL of Banner Image;}
Note: The banner and footer images should have the same dimension to avoid misalignment. If you’re a beginner, have your image follow the dimension of the banner or footer on the Base Theme.
All other tweaking or changes on the CSS, let the post Your Page and CSS Code be your guide.
6. Test and Preview your CSS by installing it on your Multiply Site. Make sure you backup your old CSS before you click Preview or Save.
7. Once satisfied, save the CSS and let it be your basis for your next theme. Enjoy tweaking, more themes to come and we expect to see it here in www.multiplythemes.com!

This free multiply layout is in comparison to the Orange theme for boys that Netskie has made. It has a damask green background. The banner consists of various images printed in one same color-green of which the background is in horizontal green and white stripes. The page body has a notebook look to it.
Thanks to marielski for the pattern css code.

A textarea is an element on a webpage that you can type into. In Multiply lay-out commonly used as commenting areas, and guestbook. All browsers have defaults styles for textareas which vary. You can take control of your textareas and style them with CSS.
in example of my lay-out, there is a writing : “Thanks for commenting” at bottom right box.
well you can do this with css and of course with your own style.
first you should know that there is two syntax (command) for comment box in multiply lay-out, dh ; [.replybox textarea] and [textarea].
for [.replybox textarea] just leave it, dont mess it. we just play here with [textarea] syntax
for text background in comment box, use it with images. you can create it with your favorite image editor,such as photosop, etc.
after you’ve make text images, see the size of your created text images. i recomend that size of that text image is not larger than 400px.85px.
upload that text-image in your fav image hosting, otherwise you can upload it in multiply photos-album. make a note link that given for text-image.
leave it for a while.
then copy paste this css code and insert it in your custom css.
textarea {
background-image: url(http://YOUR LINK TEXT-IMAGE);
background-position: bottom right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #fff; /* this background-color is adjusted with your background text-images */
}
do preview and if your text-image in comment box is right in position, well done.
but if not, you must be edit your text-images and adjust it with width and height of your comment box.
after edit it, do preview again and if it’s correct, save it.
that’s it.
want more modified of your comment box?
ok, we can make more nice for submit button and Preview & Spell Check button.
just copy this css code below and paste it into your custom css ;
input {
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px;
color: #444444;
}
input:hover {
border: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px;
color: #444444;
cursor: pointer;
}
you can be a creative person to modify this 2 buttons. just change border color. otherwise you can change font-type, font-style, or font-weight
in input:hover, thats for command if cursor points the button. and yes, you can create it too.
here is additional css code for font :
font-family: "Verdana","Lucida Sans",Sans-Serif;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 12px;
you can insert that css code of font into input or input:hover syntax.
there is one more trick for comment box, but it only works in IE6 browser and above.
you can insert this css code ;
input:focus, textarea:focus {
background-color: #eee;
}
this css code is used for matching any element that has keyboard input focus. Keyboard input focus describes any element that’s ready to receive user input. It can apply to a form control.
just try it. and i believe this :focus code make your multiply more cool.
