Aside from some built in transitions and CSS variables, this is a blank template to build your own menu content. To showcase what you can do with it, I've also made a customized preview.
This is made possible with :focus-within, which lets us select a parent element based on the (focused) state of its children, similar to :has(). Using :has(:focus) could have accomplished something like this, but this selector is specialized for this purpose.

I use procreateās animation assist! Below the cut is a more in depth process for those who arenāt familiar with the program:
-----
First I start out by making my 2 drawings- both on the same canvas. The line art is on one layer, and the coloring is underneath. One drawing = 1 group. This is what the layers look like:
Keep in mind, in the photo above, only one of my drawings is visible; the 2nd one.
Each drawing (line art + coloring) is put into its own group, which will give me 2 frames. A group is a cluster of layers. The groups turn into frames once I turn on the Animation Assist, which is located under the little wrench (Actions) in the top left corner.
Once Actions opens up, youāll see a few symbols, one of them labeled Canvas. If you tap on Canvas, youāll find the Animation Assist underneath the Crop and Resize bar.
Make sure both of your groups are visible when you want to see the animation- invisible groups will not become frames. If you look at the Animation Assist Bar, thereās only one frame because only one of my drawings (groups) is visible.
If both your groups are visible, you should see the onion skin of the other group, like this:
Once both your groups are visible, you can press the Play button located on the left side of the Animation Assist Bar at the bottom of your screen. If you tap Settings on the bar, you can change the frame rate along with other things!
I donāt do a ton of animation so I donāt know everything about this part of Procreate, but it never hurts to explore!
As for saving the animation, I return to the Actions button in the top left, go to the Share option, then export as an Animated GIF:
Youāre then brought to a final screen with a preview of the animation, and different options:
I donāt really mess around with the options here, mainly because I donāt understand them just yet. I just leave everything as is, and save it at Max Resolution. Once you hit the Export button, you just save it to wherever you want it to go!
I hope that answers your question, and I encourage you guys to try it out yourselves! I hope this little tutorial was helpful... if anything doesnāt make sense, or you guys want more tutorials, Iād be happy to make some!
How to automatically change icons based on user input
Adding icons to custom links (whether through text options or using {block:HasPages}) can be tricky when you can't guarantee what users will want their links to be.
Using some attribute selectors, we can change the icon based on the content in the href attribute.
I'm using Font Awesome for this tutorial, but any icon font that uses unicodes in pseudo elements (:before or :after) will work!
By default, it will be the link icon. I can change this icon if a user is adding a tag as a link by selecting any link with "/tagged" in its url:
.links a[href*="/tagged"] i:before {
content:'\f292';
}
A breakdown of why/how this works and more examples:
Let's start with the first part
.links a
This is selecting all of the anchor tags inside of our links container
.links a[href*="/tagged"]
is selecting the href attribute that is inside of a link.
If I were to do
.links a[href="/tagged"]
it would only select links with that exact match.
by adding the *, i'm selecting any link that contains /tagged somewhere in the link. this way we can select *all* tags, not just one tag at a time.
.links a[href*="/tagged"] i
This is only selecting the i elements inside of links that contain /tagged. This is important because otherwise we would be selecting every i element, but we only want to change the tag links.
.links a[href*="/tagged"] i:before
and lastly we are selecting the :before pseudo element that Font Awesome uses to add icons.
What else can I do with this?
You can do a lot with attribute selectors! You could repeat this process for other links like discord, twitch, about pages, faq, etc.
Here is how you would target external links:
a[href^="https://"]:not([href*="tumblr.com"])
or if you wanted to include the possibility of http:// you could do either of these:
This contains all the variables and the only part you need to edit. You can customize the margins (optional) but all you need to do is set the sidebar width and the CSS will calculate the rest!
Final steps will involve the themeās structure, so keep this in mind as youāre building your theme.
Step 3
For the final step, your theme needs to have the following structure: 1) a container for the sidebar and posts 2) A sidebar container and a post container.
And repeat for all options that you would want the user to customize without needing to touch the code.
Finishing your theme
This stylesheet will not heavily alter your themeās CSS so you can still freely design the content inside of your containers! I recommend setting min and max widths for your elements if you anticipate users setting the widthsĀ to something too big or small.
For examples and more theme options, see the live preview!Ā
The github link also includes the original css file if you want to tailor this to your themeās structure without relying on the selectors Iāve used:Ā https://github.com/cornetespoir/sidebar-layouts
This preview was made on the new @dsgn community blog which will be officially launching in October!

do you have any good how to start coding themes tutorials? i really want to get into theme designing but i canāt find any āc anon
I recently released this as a part of my theme revamp yesterday:Ā https://eggdocs.tumblr.com/eggucation. There is aĀ ālearn to codeā section which covers web design basics and my theme base code, which has in depth explanations on tumblr themes.
I also have a Common Theme Mistakes post for general theme making tips, and this follow up ask on classes vs idsĀ (a lot of older theme tutorials used an id for posts, which is something you shouldnāt do).
Thereās a lot out there besides mine, though!Ā @theme-hunter has a tag for base codes in its sidebar.
Ā It can be hard to sort between up to date and outdated ones, though. As a general rule for an old vs new base/tutorial, you wanna look for some that have dashboard captions (unless you want blockquotes, but I personally avoid them for readability purposes). Also keep an eye on the date the posts were made. If itās from 2014, for example, itās probably not up to date.
Dashboard captions will include things like this in the captions:
Hi! I hope you're doing great. I just wanted to make a suggestion? Can you have a link to your tutorials / tutorials you wrote on your blog? Yesterday I had been looking for this specific tutorial that I only knew the subject of and it took me some time to find it on my blog. It turns out it was authored by you! My code resource blog back then was ultimate chaos and tag systems are a failure... I've been learning to code on and off for the past few years and just taking my sweet time to learn what I can. This might not really be on you (since I'm the one with a messed up directory) but can you also suggest good ways/practices to manage tags and content?
Hey! I do have a tag for my tutorials! It's in the header of my desktop theme, but #egg tutorial and #egg tutorials is what I use. I also have a general #tutorials tag
For tagging systems I pretty much just include egg + the subject for my own stuff. egg design, egg themes, etc. And then for everyone else's things I have just art, recs, design, tutorials, etc. Nothing fancy. But I think making a list of all the types of content you want to post about and be able to reference later. That might help determine how specific or long your tag list needs to be.
Can you teach me how to draw female character bodywork? ?? :0 I'm noob at it tho I always draw male bodywork character. ..
Well, Iāll give you a little help! Iām not to keen on anatomy, but the main difference between males and females tends to come down to the shapes you use. A lot of artists say this, but for the most part, you use circles/ovals to create a female body!
Women and men come in all shapes and sizes, but the generic guidelines usually entail the usage of circles for women, and more squares for men!
Hereās a little doodle, including the base sketch and the drawing right above it. These were the only 2 layers I made.
Notice the roundness of the female body. Her waist comes in, and her hips curve out. Like I said, not every female looks like this, but itās a good place to start! Most males donāt have such a dramatic dip in their torso, so itāll definitely make it seem more feminine if their waist comes in more.
Thatās just the basics. But donāt be afraid to experiment with different body types!! Hope this helps a little :D
