How do I create a custom mood theme?

Images used in custom mood themes can either be uploaded to your ScrapBook or to a webspace provider that allows remote loading to LiveJournal. URLs for custom mood theme images cannot exceed 100 characters. In addition, you will need to input the width and the height of the image in pixels. Any mood theme images that are larger than 100 x 100 pixels will be scaled down to be within this size limit.

You can view a particular mood theme along with the mood theme IDs by appending &mode=tree to the mood theme URL:

Submissions for new public mood themes are not accepted currently, due to the increase in bandwidth caused by new mood themes; however, you can always create your own private mood theme.

Community Mood Themes

You should use the Custom Mood Theme Editor to create, edit, or delete a custom mood theme.

Make sure to select your community from the Work as user: drop-down menu and click Switch before beginning work on your community's mood theme.

Once created, you can preview your community's mood theme. Replace themeid with the themeID for your mood theme and ownerid with your user ID number (found on your User Info page in parentheses right next to your username).
