Boop-Themed Site Skin

Summary:

Includes a header that replaces the "beta" in the site logo with an image of a boop button from Tumblr's 2024 April Fools "boop" event, suggested Wizard settings, and optional additional CSS for changing the colors of tags and comments.

Notes:

This is, like my previous skin, built on the foundation from this anonymous guide. This is also inspired by memorizingthedigitsofpi's Boopfest 2024 header. I used a smaller icon for the boop and left "Archive of Our Own" as text, which allows the words to change color according to your color scheme. Visit memorizingthedigitsofpi's version if you want a bigger paw and more paw color options!

Chapter Text

Create a Skin
If you would like to use the optional wizard settings found in chapter 2, it doesn't matter if you do this first or that. Just make sure to save your work in between!

While logged into your AO3 account, navigate to your Dashboard, then Skins, then Create a Site Skin. Paste the following code into the CSS box to add the header, then save your skin with a unique name.

/*This code hides the regular logo, keeps “Archive of our Own” as is, and replaces “beta” with a boop image.*/
#header .logo,
#header h1.heading span {
display: none;
}

#header h1.heading a::before {
content: "Archive of Our Own";
text-shadow: 0 0 20px #12FFC0;
}

#header .heading sup {
visibility: hidden;
}

#header .heading sup::before {
content: url("https://i.imgur.com/rHWLZ2C.png");
text-shadow: 0 0 10px #12FFC0;
visibility: visible;
