Help with buttons

[seabroth]

EDIT: I figured it out! Those buttons are "forms" with an "input - submit" type OVERTOP. So first you have to remove the input layer's background and stuff, and after that you can add the thickness you want to the padding layer of the form. Example:


input[type="submit"] {
padding: none;
margin: 0px;
background: none !important;
}

form {
color: black;
background: #F3EFEC;
padding: 10px;
}


The problem then, is that there are a few buttons that are inputs without this layer overtop. The "Update" button when you go to update your site skin is one such. I don't yet know what to do about that, maybe my brain just isn't working.

Hi guys! (One reason for this comm being dead might be because most people don't even know skins for AO3 exist...)

Because my "My Works/Bookmarks" page looks like this on my computer, I Googled for stuff and eventually found out that you can make site skins, and so I began!



I'm trying to create a skin, but I can't seem to get rid of (make smaller) the padding around certain types of buttons.

Yeah, there are a lot of features on AO3 that people don't know about, if they weren't around on first announcement and don't read the FAQ. The LJ version is oddly more active.

The LJ version of this comm?

I read the entire FAQ and ToS a couple days ago, but they're so long and confusingly-worded and badly-organized! The ToS has useless info at the top, useful info at the very bottom, and using a whole lot of confusing wording ("buyer" and "seller" as a simple example - we're not selling anything...). And to top it off, it still didn't seem to mention anything about translations like what I was looking for. The FAQ is writing some obvious information but also missing some other info that people might actually be looking for.

I never read the news since every time I've looked it's just been going on about random stuff that I don't care about. But I really think a link to the site skins should be in the main navigation somewhere, they're really useful since the existing site layout is so bad (at least on my computer) : / I sent them a feedback note about it, but I wonder if it will get anywhere.
