Kudos to our loyal user Qwerty for compiling all this info!


This tutorial will allow you to use HTML in working with the fonts on your homepage. Note that homepages are only available in the IMVU Classic Website.


When we work with fonts, there are generally four different aspects we can change. These are:

  • Font face
  • Font size
  • Font color
  • Alignment


Some areas in your homepage can be customized so that you can take control of these aspects.


Note: If you are having difficulties making any of these changes, you may also try switching to a different browser.

 

My Interests and Special Someone

These are two of the panels in your homepage where you can type anything you wish (as long as it complies with our Terms of Service). In order to use HTML in the text areas, simply follow these steps:


STEP 1: Clear out the current content of your My Interests/Special Someone.


STEP 2: On the upper-right corner of your panel, click on Edit. Then, select Edit Custom HTML/CSS from the dropdown.




STEP 3: On the box that appears, type the following code:


To change the font face:

INSERT TEXT HERE


To change the color:

INSERT TEXT HERE (you may also use hexadecimal codes instead of the color name)


To change the size:

INSERT TEXT HERE


You may also use them altogether:

INSERT TEXT HERE



Changing Header Texts

You may also change the parameters of the text in almost all the IMVU Homepage headers. For example, you might see some users who change their About Me header into About . This can be done by following the steps below.


STEP 1: Click the Edit button on the upper-right hand of your About Me panel.


STEP 2: On the dropdown menu, select Edit Custom HTML/CSS.


STEP 3: Type the following code into the pop-up box:



You can also do this to any other panel header. Simply replace the ¨aboutme_panel_header¨ with the appropriate code from the list below:

  • contact_panel_header (Contact Me panel)
  • wishlist_panel_header My Wish List panel
  • url_panel_header My URL panel
  • visitors_panel_header My Recent Visitors panel
  • room_panel_header My Room panel
  • rankings_panel_header My Rankings panel
  • cool_panel_header Cool New People panel
  • friends_panel_header My Friends panel
  • video_panel_header My Videos panel
  • special_panel_header Special Someone panel
  • outfits_panel_header My Outfits panel
  • groups_panel_header My Groups panel
  • badges_panel_header My Badges panel
  • sandbox_panel_header My Sandbox panel


Making Universal Changes

You will also be able to make universal font-related changes that will affect all panels. Simply follow these steps.


STEP 1: Choose any panel that has been set to be viewable by everyone. This is important since the codes will not take effect if done in a hidden panel. Select the Edit option on the panel and click Edit Custom HTML/CSS.


STEP 2: In the box that appears, type the following codes:


To center the text in all panels:

td{text-align:center}

 

To change the style of all fonts in the homepage:

* {

font-family: verdana;

}

(You can replace Verdana with any font of your choice. However, make sure to put font names with more than 1 word in quotation marks.)

 

To change the font size:

* { font-size:8px !important; }

(You can replace 8 with any number.)

 

To perform all three changes, you can place the codes one after the other in the homepage.

td{text-align:center}


* {

font-family: verdana;

}


* { font-size:8px !important; }


Lost in coding?

We recommend making all these changes while in ¨Safe Mode¨ -- simply click the Safe button on the upper right corner of your homepage. This makes debugging faulty codes in multiple panels easier.
