terms of use — by using my themes you agree to the following:
  • reblog the theme post
    • reblogging posts is crucial for content creators on tumblr, it's how others can be introduced to us & see our work plus it helps motivate us to create more :) even if you're not using a theme, reblogs are always appreciated!
  • do not touch the credit
    • this includes moving it, changing/editing it, etc. just don't touch it please. in some of my themes the credit's in multiple places - don't touch any of them. if you want to change the fill of my credit icon or update the link (demontimes ➞ phantomcodes) that's fine!
  • do not make major changes
    • small edits are fine as long as the original design is recognizable and the credit is untouched. send me an ask if you're unsure about a customization you wanna make.
  • do not claim as your own or redistribute
    • do not copy pieces of my codes for use anywhere else whether it's my other codes or another theme maker's codes. none of my themes are base codes, do not use them to make your own theme.
  • support me if you can!
    • enjoying my themes? there are many ways you can support me whether it's by reblogging my posts, leaving a tip, and/or making donations!

    troubleshooting
    if you're encountering a problem with a theme make sure to:
  • specify the theme / page. some of my themes have matching pages with the same name, make sure you specify the page (ex. moongate about)
  • tell me your blog's url or link me to it if it's not the blog you sent your ask from.
  • if you send an anon without giving me any information i won't be able to help you.
  • do not ask me for help with anyone else's themes, go to the original creator
  • make sure you toggle all the options a couple times when you first install the theme, tumblr's customization window is buggy
  • some non-toggleable elements (such as links) will not show up if there is nothing entered in their fields, similarly if you have your ask box/submit box turned off those links will not show up

    • after reading this page please: check the theme's tag, my faq tag, and/or my answered asks to see if your question has been answered before sending me an ask about it!

    MUSIC PLAYER: google drive no longer works for hosting audio, use one of these options
    customizations
    you can make minor customizations to my themes and pages for personal use as long as the credit stays intact and the design is still recognizable
    as per my terms, you cannot copy and paste pieces of my codes to use elsewhere. this includes my other themes.
  • if you want a customization that includes an element from one of my other themes you can commission me
  • if you're not sure a customization you want is allowed — ask me first!
  • this may change later but as of right now i do not do infinite scroll or multi column themes
  • please read my commissions page before asking me to make any customizations for you!

    • please note: i won't help with issues happening due to personal customizations you made on your own or external additions. if you change stuff in the code and something breaks i do not help with that.

    frequently asked
  • why am i getting a javascript error?
    tumblr tightened their security to prevent malicious use of javascript in may 2022. everyone needs to contact support to get their blogs approved for javascript usage, this is a sitewide change. see more info here on the update & this post by glenthemes for advice on how to get your blog(s) approved
  • how do i change the icons?
    the icons i use in all themes released before november 2022 are phosphor icons. it will be indicated in the post but most themes released after this use tabler icons. click the link and use the name of whichever icons you want from that page
  • why is the music player not working?
    google drive no longer works to host audio but there are other options that still work like open drive! see glenthemes' direct file links.
  • can i change [xyz] in your themes?
    customizing and making minor changes to my themes is fine for personal use only as long as the original design is still recognizable and the credit is still intact. if you want to make specific changes and you're unsure if it's okay, send me an ask first
  • how do i start coding?
    i recommend w3schools, you can also check out my credits page for a list of resources i use/have found helpful!
  • can i use your themes to make my own?
    no. none of my themes are base codes, do not use any part of them to "create your own" theme.
  • why do some posts look different than the preview?
    tumblr fully switched to neue post format in july 2023, my themes released before then are not npf supported so some posts may appear differently. i do plan to update my older codes at some point but i haven't had time yet
    • still have a question?
    keep in mind:
    i can't help you with a problem i can't see, if you send an anon with no context it will not be answered
  • it may take me some time to answer your ask, if it's been long time & you've read this page you can send it again
  • if you want your ask answered privately please specify that somewhere in your message

    • themes
    more theme details here. some basic set up instructions:
  • copy the entire code, click where it says 'edit html', & paste it there
  • exit out of the html, my themes can be edited from the customize panel
  • images that are uploadable will be at the very top of the 'theme options' - any other images that have a text field (see example below) need image urls and are not uploadable
    for images like this, right click on the image you want and click copy image address, then paste that link in the image field
  • for most of my themes, some elements will not show up if there is nothing entered in their field, similarly links to the askbox/submit box will not show up if you have these turned off

    • pages
    some basic set up instructions for my pages:
  • javascript error? more info here
  • pages are separate from your main theme, they are not related at all in terms of installation and set up
  • to install a custom page, change the page layout from 'standard layout' to 'custom layout'
    copy the entire page code and paste it there
  • places you can edit are marked in my pages, search 'edit here'
  • all of the colors/fonts/etc. can be changed at the top of the page
    • basic html
    some basic html, delete the periods:

  • bold text:
