#Code Guide

This is a repository of pre-made layouts and code snippets that are free for you to use (non-commercially). Check individual posts for details. A few notes:

  • Page themes are platform agnostic layouts and can be used anywhere that supports (modern) HTML/CSS. They use CSS variables to manage user settings so you can swap out colors, images, fonts, etc. These variables are located in the :root element. If you’d like to know more about CSS variables, you can read this guide.
  • Page themes are meant to look identical to previews out-of-the-box, so they come shipped with web URL images rather than local links. I encourage you to link your content locally.
  • For instructions on installing a Tumblr theme, you can read their official documentation.
  • Attribution is nice, but not required.

Feel free to email me (nenrikido@pm.me) with any questions/comments or leave a comment here.

A theme preview. It's a gif of a standalone page. It has a header of Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura and a background image of cherry blossoms over a river. Two pixels are to the right and left of the header image. The gif shows someone clicking on the left pixel, which opens a pop-up box with more text.

A mobile preview of the theme. The pixels, rather than sitting besides the header image, rest beneath the main content.

An alternate theme preview, with brighter pinks and blues. The theme uses a different gif of Sakura.

A theme preview. It's a profile page with a background image of a city road. On the left, there are storefronts with flowers and the background shows a distant mountainous forest. A PNG of an anime-styled girl stands next to the foggy text box. She is holding a green bag behind her, smiling, and wearing cat ears.

“I recently decided it might improve user experience to get a loading screen instead of watching the grid unceremoniously disentangle itself. A few experiments later, and here we are.”
