Catching Elephant is a theme for Tumblr.
Please look through all the answers here before asking a question. The same questions keep coming up. A lot of customisation can be done with custom css. Try googling css background for example.Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
thanks!
Go here. Click install. :)
You can’t ‘download’ it. Just install it.
You’re doing text posts and putting photos in them. Photo posts will have the photo above all your text and the images will go right to the edges.
No idea dude.
I don’t think the attribution stuff has made it to the help section yet. So they may still be getting it right.
I’ve thought about it. But I doubt the TypeKit license allows for something like this as you license fonts for a ‘site’ not a theme used on 35,000 sites.
Other webfonts are generally licensed by pageviews. Again, something quite hard to measure for a theme.
I could use free fonts, but they’re quite often shit.
as the Tumblr staff has not added the attribution code to Catching Elephant yet, i tried it myself and added the following code:
{block:ContentSource}
<div class="reblogged">
<a href="{SourceURL}">
{lang:Source}:
{block:SourceLogo}
<img src="{BlackLogoURL}" width="{LogoWidth}"
height="{LogoHeight}" style="vertical-align:-2px;" alt="{SourceTitle}" />
{/block:SourceLogo}
{block:NoSourceLogo}
{SourceLink}
{/block:NoSourceLogo}
</a>
</div>
{/block:ContentSource}
so far, so good. only quirk is when there are logos for the source. as here:

is there a way to recolor this image?

It’s a little strange. Because they did say they were going to do it to all the featured themes. But also that if a theme didn’t have the attribution code that the source would go at the bottom of the post. But neither seem to be happening.
In regards to the colour of the logos. I can’t see anything in the help docs yet about attribution. But there is the post on the staff blog. In your example the logo is black. On the dashboard the logo is grey. In the example code in that blog post it appears to be grey but the code says {BlackLogoURL} the same as yours. It may be like the audio posts where there is black, grey and white. Try changing it to {WhiteLogoURL} and see if it changes.
.nav a {
font-family: Helvetica;
}
worked for the Home, Submit, et. links.
Now the only thing left are the other uppercase texts as the tags, permalink, reblogged from, etc.
Well, at least i use Opera every now and then, don't know wether anybody else does, but it is really high quality software. :)

Try
.bottompanel {
font-family: Helvetica;
}
I am using a different font for body now. This works great for Chrome and Firefox. But in Opera this font also is used for all the uppercase fonts as in the "Home", "Archive" links and the tags.
Could you help me in telling me what to put in the custom css to have these displayed in Helvetica, Arial again? Or maybe point me to the original css file of the theme. I was not able to find it with Chrome's developer tools.
Best regards,
Alex
The nav is wrapped in a nav class. So if you want to target the nav links try:
.nav a {
font-family: Helvetica;
}
Although changing the body font shouldn’t change the nav, as it hasn’t in chrome and firefox. Honestly, I haven’t ever tested this in Opera. I haven’t looked at stats but does anyone still use the desktop version?
Wack this in your custom css:
body {
background: none;
background-color: #666666;
}
