oh wow, thank you for the help! I definitely must have lost track of how many
I'll just go ahead and change the google doc to include the snowflakes. After I posted this and went to bed I was laying there like "why didn't I just include that bit? I'm gonna confuse someone" lol
The snowflakes code is sort of hard to read through, I did NOT code it myself (maybe in a couple DECADES ill have a big enough galaxy brain to wrap my head around CSS animation) but I changed a lot of things (obviously they aren't snowflakes anymore, and I altered the direction of the "fall" to actually cascade upwards)
here's what I was able to figure out though for myself:
I changed the z-index / layer the snowflakes are on to "2" so it goes behind the "credits" box which is on z-index like... 99 , or something. the sidebar picture is on layer 1 because I want the snowflakes to go in front of it. All of that looks good, works, etc, but I can't get the main elements of the page to go in front of the snowflakes no matter how hard I try. I tried adding the respective page elements to z-index 99, 98, etc, it just doesn't work at all. I'm not sure why it's not behaving the same as my credit box.
here is the link again to my google doc, this time containing the code in its full snowflakey glory. I hope you or someone can figure it out
Okay, this was a fun problem! Basically the issue is that you're trying to layer a child element (the snowflakes) underneath their parent element (the pet description box, where all your CSS is). The only way you can achieve this is by using negative z-index values. Since the
(cloud background image) has a default z-index of 0, you have to assign basically your entire page to different negative values.Here's what you need to add/change:
body { position: relative; z-index: -5; }
.pic { z-index: -4; } /* Already has position: fixed; elsewhere /
.snowflake { z-index: -3; } / Same deal here */
I started counting up from -5, but really you could use -3, -2, and -1, as long as they're in the right order. Also, if you plan on just pasting this in instead of finding the places where you're already applying styles on these elements, make sure you add it at the very end of your last <style> tag. Otherwise it won't override the existing z-indexes. Oh, and it can't override "!important", so really you should just go edit my changes into your existing code...
I applied your theme (replacing your images with some random ones I had on imgur) to my pet's profile so you can see it in action: [user not found] Hope that makes sense! I need to stop working on these late at night, haha. Let me know if anything doesn't work for you :)
OH wow thank you so so much! Im a total beginner at this sort of stuff so I would have never thought of that!! Thank you, I'll go implement this in my own code.
I had to google it too, to be honest! I never realize that was the only way to make it work.
I remember when I joined Subeta, it was like a distant goal to learn enough HTML/CSS to work on profiles, and now that I code professionally I don't make time to customize my own pets lol. I love solving small issues like this, though!

Thank you for providing us with this awesome free pet profile. I've done two so far. 18 more to go and also put in miscellaneous information. Thank you!!!
Thank you! Your friend helix will enjoy a full month of Gold Account benefits starting today! Just a little token of my appreciation!!

@ anyone else that may be able to help
hi there! like most I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank you profusely for providing such a gorgeous clean template for us all to fiddle with. i’m getting some great use out of it!
i just have a couple questions about some edits i havent been able to find/figure out myself, if anyone can let me know if it’s possible or they’ve found out how, I’d greatly appreciate the help!
1. Change heading titles for sections
any help would be so appreciated, thanks again!
Thanks for the profile! I was using one before, but it's been awhile. :)
I have v1 Original with a fixed background. See my pet [pet not found]. I have several questions, if you don't mind. Thanks!
Is there a way to make the glass border the same around all the sections? Right now the pet description is slightly less than the story, and the treasure and friends don't have the glass border at all. Also, can the credits have the glass border too, without enlarging?
Is it possible to make all the sections (except the top pet description and the credits) shorter and scroll individually?
Could I please use your code for the stars and moons snowflakes? I love them. I will of course give you credit.
I read the solution for glori, but I just don't understand where to put the snowflake code or your fix code... please help?
Uh, so I'm using one of your templates and the background is blurry. Is there any thing I can do to fix that????
The pet is Argentus if you need to see for yourself.

Thank you so much for these beautiful templates! I've used one for Beitris that I am going to keep customizing, and I'll probably use them for some others too! <3

I got stats to work in a sidebar if y'all're still interested! Took me over an hour and so much googling but I GOT STATS TO WORK!!!!!
Click here if you would like to see it in action to see if it's what you want: abc12321cba
It required editing a couple different blocks of code that applied to different divs, so I've copied and pasted an uncustomized version of the edited v1 code with stats here. If you want to use it for a different version, I've added comments so you might be able to find the differences by searching for "stats" in the code.
Edit: IMPORTANT: To get background colors to work, you have to remove the space between the @ and the "import" where i put "/* REMOVE THE SPACE AFTER THE @ WHEN YOU COPY AND PASTE */" near the top. Thanks for the bug catch Lyn!
code under spoiler
YAY. Thank you. This is great. :)
. . . Someone told me I have two faults. I don't listen and . . . some other stuff they were rattling on about.
Thank you! I really like this profile, but missed not having pet stats one them. A little thank you coming your way. :)
I can't get the background color to change? I don't know anything about coding, but I would get it to change on the no stats version.
ooooh yeah i can see that Baby Shark doesn't have a background color. That's weird. Try removing the space between the @ and the "import" where i put "/* REMOVE THE SPACE AFTER THE @ WHEN YOU COPY AND PASTE */" near the top. That fixed the problem in the profile I just tested it in! Lmk if it works! And thank you for the items, I really appreciate it! :)
That worked! Thank you so much and your very welcome. :) Happy Holidays!
Hi ! Thank you for the wonderful profiles, they're gorgeous! I have a question that i'm hoping anyone could help me with; I'm using V.3 and for the life of me can't change the background from white to my preferred image. Here's what the code looks like:
body, html { background-image: url("https://i.redd.it/urv3pm8md0d51.jpg"); background-size: cover; background-attachment: fixed; }
What am I doing wrong? No matter how I try to vary it, all I get is a white background. Help!
