THE CODE
Red version here
Copy the code & paste it in the “I’d Like to Meet: box“.
I’ve made even more tweaks and fixes to this code, so the boxes should be perfectly aligned in both Internet Explorer and Firefox, if you don’t stretch them out and mess them up (;
There are a few things you will need to replace. First, the images. If you want to add your own images, just cut them in the right size in Photoshop and replace the current ones. Use http://tinypic.com to upload the images to a server. Then copy the direct link and replace the current image links.
Where do I find the images in the code?
It’s about the first thing you see in the code.
As you can see, I’ve already added the height and width values, so if you want your images to look great, make sure they are 104×96px and 315×210px.
Insert the links for your buttons
In order to make the Add to friend and Send message work, you need to find this:
Then, to find your unique links, right click on the Add To Friends link in the left side block, and chose “copy link adress”. Now you will have your link. Just paste it where it’s supposed to be. Then do the same thing for Send Message.
…or remove the buttons
If you feel like the buttons are just annoying, simply remove them deleting this code:
Oh, and if you want me to continue to make myspace themes, please let the credits link stay as it is. It will hopefully give some more hits.

Hello. I love all your designs. I was wondering, is there anyway to use these designs for a band layout, such as:
http://www.myspace.com/dearcavalier
Thanks,
Kenny
9:24 pm
Hey Kenny!
I haven’t got a music profile to test themes on yet. But I’m pretty sure it would work well on them as well. The only prob might be that the red “myspace music” bar pushes down the content, but that can easily be solved.
Give it a try, copy the code and paste it in the “Who I’d like to meet” box. You can also replace the image in the header with a youtube video or whatever you want.
All you’ll have to do to be able to add a video there instead is this. Find this code:
And turn it into a div, like this:
(Ignore the < p >) Make sure you set width to 315px and height to 210 though, to make it look good.
I put up a vid in my header to show how it could look:

Here is a live preview of Darkstar by the way: http://www.myspace.com/alxdevelopment
2:21 am
I love this theme……however, I have one question. When adding the links for messages and friends, I don’t get “copy link address”, but I have “copy shortcut”, will that work?
Thanks.
3:06 am
Hey Alex! Again, you’re doing an Amazing job with the layouts! .. one quick question.. I tried to put a Youtube video like you but couldn’t :S .. i tried to replace the code like you mention up here but some reason is not showing!
I removed the following: and replaced it with my video link was entered here but again, doesn’t work .. any ideas of what I could be doing wrong??
an
5:39 am
Could you show me the code you used for the video?
By the way, every time you write a code in the comments, use < textarea >CODE HERE< /textarea >
Without spaces between the < and > and the text.
And when you say video link, I hope it’s not only the browser link. On the side of the video on youtube, it says EMBED, and there you have the code you should copy.
The right code should look something like this:
1:16 am
I’m using this @ http://www.myspace.com/042592b
6:04 am
Nicely done Edward with the video there ;)
@ Bill
“I love this theme……however, I have one question. When adding the links for messages and friends, I don’t get “copy link address”, but I have “copy shortcut”, will that work?”
Yea, it will probably work. Just test it, if you are able to paste and a link appears, it works (;
1:15 am
I had my code incorrectly lol .. not it’s working ;) .. thanks!
11:16 pm
Another amazing design from you. Been trying to use it at our MySpace but ran into a kind of dumb problem. When ive filled in the code and hit “Preview” I cant confirm the change to the design because the masthead-image is in the way! I cant see the confirm-button!
What can I do?
11:22 pm
@Zorro
Thanks :)
Try to not use the preview function at all, just scroll down and hit save directly. Isn’t that working?
12:07 am
Oddly enough, there is no direct save button! Should have mentioned that its for a band, so I have to paste the code in the bio-section… That might be why I just cant save directly! :-/
3:54 am
Thanks for the incredible designs! I would use them…. if I used myspace. Pity facebook doesn’t have the same type of thing. Thanks again!
5:17 pm
Hey…..another question. I’d like to change the font style on the portion that has “08.Your MySpace Title”, where’s the code for that? And will it work with any font? Or only fonts recognized by the user?
Thanks.
5:22 pm
@Bill
The first class is the main text, the second one is the 08. text.
Users will only see fonts that they have in their library, so for the web, people usually use arial, verdana, georgia, trebuchet ms and sans-serif or serif.
Not much other ones to choose from, I’m afraid. If you choose an uncommon font, and the user dont have it, the browser will look for the second option, in my case, Verdana. That’s why we use font-families.
2:10 am
@ Alx,
Thanks for the info, looks like I won’t change it.
Later.
5:41 am
i love this one and decided to use your newest layout.
2:15 am
Hey ur designs are beautiful…
please dont post ur layouts in site like http://www.createblog.com
because then people will look for ur layouts there and NOt here!!
well just wantes to say That..
Fantastic works..
im opening a website pretty soon.. i’d like to coolaborate linking to ur page!! see Ya!
3:23 pm
Hey man, I absolutely love your layouts. I used this one myself, and if you want to check it out, here’s my link!!
http://www.myspace.com/ForgetsHisName
It’s set to private, so just add me. Another thing I’ve also found is that you can use MyFlashFetish to create a jukebox that completely matches the layout.
12:28 pm
i tired to insert a picture of me in image 2 where the blonde is. It works fine in IE but if viewed in mozilla my picture is up there with the .08 your name…any fixes?
12:43 pm
also howd you make that alexander image…thanks this is good stuff
6:03 pm
@ Bryan
Thank you :) I will probably not submit anything more to createblog. It was just to get the designmyspace.org name out there – I guess you would not have found me if it wasnt for that submission (;
@Evoke
Added you to friends, and thanks :) Good with matching flash isnt it? (;
@middlez
For the first problem, are you sure that the image height and width is right?
Second one, do you mean like, an image for your name in the left side block?
If so, Find this in your code:
Then just remove the “REMOVE” text, so the class is .nametext. Then, above that code, there is another class called .nametext. Rename it to .nametextREMOVE or something, so it stops working and is replaced by the new code.
As you can see, there is a background image url in that new code. Simply replace that image there with your new one.
Good luck.
11:10 am
hello alex..thanks for your responses. Regarding my picture…when i try to put mu picture where the blonde is…the picture is not in that area at all, its just a blank square and my picture is up there next to the title. However thi is only the case in firefox..in explorer it works fine…here is the link…..dont know if you use firefox:
http://www.myspace.com/dmiddlez
12:18 pm
Alright, I think I found the prob.
You just wrote like:
You need to turn the a href into a class:
So, just add class=”img2″ to the a href tag.
1:34 pm
this is what i have but it stil doesnt show correctly in firefox…is this right?…no problem in explorer
<a class=”img2″
1:40 pm
Here is the code I see when I view sourcecode:
Try to use this:
Hope it works. (remove rel= “nofollow” )
4:43 pm
Thanks Man! ….that was a silly thing i was doing…thanks for being kool about it.
4:14 pm
Hey I Love This Layout And I’m Using It, But I Okay At Using Codes But I Want To Know Is There A Way To Put A Background Pic Below Where The Top Section Is?
2:16 am
for middlez firefox and IE uses different codes, firefox keeps the codes exactly where they are while IE just squezzes the codes, so different codes are needed, it helps if you change the code on firefox not IE
8:30 am
Good work. It’s too bad I can’t get it to work on my Myspace.
12:11 pm
How come? What is causing problems for you?
5:48 pm
Alx…i appreciate you sharing all of your creative layouts. i’m currently using Series 2 – Darkstar. I’d like to ask if you can provide a code to remove the “View Vic’s Friends – All, Online, New” links. I’d also like to ask if for a code to remove the “Latest Blog Entry” and “Blurbs” sections of the layout. i guess you can say i like my templates with a touch of minimalistic flavor.
thank you again.
4:09 am
Alx..Thanks for the great layout…I have one question..I see how you have the video at the top of your layout where the picture is..I want to know is their a way I can embed a youtube video into the pic at the top of this layout
8:55 am
Do like this Mario. Find:
And turn it into
Ignore the < p >.
5:57 pm
hey alx
love your designs for myspace
one question concerning them
how can i change the message button at the top of the layout into an add comments button?
thanks :)
9:01 pm
i was trying to stretch the border…when i put it on my MUSIC page…my player seems to be auto shrinked down…not sure if you can help me on making the content borders a bit wider…
6:51 pm
Hm, could you possibly post a link to the profile so I can see the problem in action? I thought the boxes auto stretched when content was added inside them.
2:29 am
Hey, I love it. But where and how do I change the heading pictures???? thanks
7:24 am
This layout is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Thankyou so much!
10:29 am
Cool design alex. Any idea how to use this layout on a music myspace?
Music myspace doesnt have the “Who I’d like to meet” box so i have no idea where to insert the code.
Thanks
11:52 am
“You must use [Safe Mode] instead of the [Edit Profile] option. Add the code in any field, ex. “Musician Bio” or “Other Members”.”
;)
11:06 am
hello..i’m a youngster..n is wondering that could i remove the section that holds up the the picture of the lady under the “add to friends”and “send message” button..??
ur help will be realy helpful..
9:21 pm
You can’t remove it since it’s part of the background, but you can remove the lady and the text in the square. Div class img2 and class id3.
10:15 pm
This layout is amazing! Thanks a lot :D
Can u help me?
- How can i hide the network & the blog channel?
9:43 am
Add me please, I need your help?
9:49 am
My friends section looks screwed up for some reason? It goes
All
l
Online
l
New
And it really bugs the crap out of me? Can you somehow give me a code to hide those links or something?
9:58 am
Hi, your layouts are very great :) But i have a question. How can i change the blue strip color ??? it’s possible?
10:00 pm
Hi I am just wondering how I make a slideshow out of the top set of pictures. the box that says photo description here? I am trying to make the pictures rotate but it wont work? Thanks
6:58 am
@Ashley, you need some kind of flash for that slideshow, and to include the flash properly, find this:
And turn it into this:
6:58 pm
Please keep making more designs. Your stuff is hott, kidd!!!
8:57 pm
Haha thank you. Aw, “kid”… I’m a full grown man! (; Alright, maybe not. 18 counts as being a kid I guess. Fail.
7:54 pm
I am having trouble adding this layout to my music page. Like it shows up and everything but the submit button doesnt show up to finalize me adding this as my layout. Can someone tell me what’s wrong i really love this layout!!
8:48 pm
nevermind
7:52 am
Kevin,
I just got rid of the friend links all together…
a.redlink:link {color:ffffff; display: none; text-align: center; padding-top: 3px;}
7:55 am
hmmm….. for some reason my comments have no spacing: take a look…
a little help?
and…. how to get rid of the space at the bottom of these layouts!?
7:03 pm
hmmm… still lost on the comment spacing issue
5:06 pm
Its like the best layout i used. But i am having few difficulties. Hope you can help me with it.
1- Like you see on the top it says “add to friends” and “send message” in blue. That can also be removed. I was wondering what’s the code to add more like those. I want to put “View Pics” and “Blog” up there as well.
2. I am also having difficulty with changing the font size. Like wont work there. So what code should i use.
Hope you can help. And you are doing an amazing job. Love it.
10:16 pm
is any one else having problems with the spacing between comments?!
11:48 pm
Ok, so I’ve been having the same problems that “middlez” was having with changing the picture of the waving hands in the crowd and the blonde lady. I have Firefox just like him and I’ve done everything you told him to do. But instead, for me it says TERM OF SERVICE VIOLATION in both of the areas where the pictures should go. PLEASE HELP. Everything else works perfectly.
11:49 pm
This is the same person from above. By the way the Myspace URL is… http://www.myspace.com/aebeach.
7:42 pm
Is there a way to get the text on the left side of the page to look normal in IE? It looks great in FF but in IE its all smashed up to the left side it only puts 3-4 words on each line then starts a new line. Is there a way to fix this?
11:05 am
@Adante
What image host are you using? I’ve never experienced that problem before. Try tinypic.com for the images. It could be so that the imagehost you use don’t allow images on myspace, or the opposite.
@Shoaib
To do that, you will need some coding knowledge and image editing knowledge. You’d have to create your own images and then search up the friend/msg button codes, copy them, change image and change the position absolute values for the button, to move it to the right or left.
@rob
That is strange. I’d suggest you to use one of my newer layouts and see if the problem is fixed in their codes and then edit one of those.
3:05 am
I’m using tinypic…..thats why Im so confused as to what happened.
5:38 pm
hey, how do you change the main color of ur fonts on this layout? instead of the grey can i make it blue?
5:41 pm
If I remember right, most text is changed with:
.text {color:999999;font-size:11px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;}At least the “About Me” section and “Who I’d Like to Meet”.
6:00 pm
Hey, sorry, icant figure it out! haha…..can you send me the whole layout code where the color of the fonts in the about me, who i’d like to meet, influences etc. are blue like in the heading above..thanks.
2:19 am
Hey Alex, I’ve adapted your layout for a red theme, I just can’t figure out how to change your blue line in the background to red. I’ve searched the whole code and not sure where this horizontal line is embedded? Can you kindly let me know how to change the color, or remove it altogether?
Thanks
~K
6:29 pm
Perfect Design!!!! Is it possible to hide the “blog-box” and the “details-box”?
Thanks
9:38 pm
I am struggling putting my own pic’s in the boxes, any help?

3:33 am
Hello i am using this design for a studio page (myspace.com/studiox13) any ideas on how to un-squish the text where my display name resides? any help would be very appreciated. thanks!
10:32 am
Amazing design, Alx!
There are 2 techniques I’m unable to figure out and it’s driving me NUTS!
First, how can I center the text in the ‘id5′ section (the ‘Photo Description Here’ part)?
And second, how can I change the font size (and put the entire URL) in the MySpaceURL box?
With both, I’ve tried every option I can possibly think of and it just won’t work.
Thanks for any tips. And thanks again for the design itself.
9:22 am
Thanks Steve!
“First, how can I center the text in the ‘id5′ section (the ‘Photo Description Here’ part)? ”
Scroll down in the code until you find the class:
.masthead .id5 { width: 305px; position: absolute; left: 528px; top: 274px; color:505050; padding: 0px; font-size:12px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; overflow: hidden; }Then, just add text-align: center; , like this:
.masthead .id5 { width: 305px; position: absolute; left: 528px; top: 274px; color:505050; padding: 0px; font-size:12px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; }EDIT: Ops, I see you already solved it by changing the absolute position, nicely done :)
As for the myspace URL, this is the class to edit / add values to. To make sure the new values will work, you can always add !important behind the code.
.userProfileURL {font-size: 9px!important;}9:54 pm
Hey man, u did a great job on this whole “new” layout…i love the change of this, especially at the top of the profile. I changed a few things with this page, check it out. Totally Awesome man, thanks!
5:34 am
I absolutely love this design, thanks so much for putting this together. I have a quick question. I find the grey text kind of hard to read. Is there a quick code fix that changes the text in all the sections (about me, who I’d like to meet, etc.) to a bright white or do I have to make multiple changes? If so, what is the color code for grey and how do I swap it for white?
Thanks again. :)
4:27 pm
And one more thing, is it possible to easily change everything in the design that is blue, to another color? I used this template to design a site for my friend and she wishes to change the color scheme to red. Again, it is just just as easily as substituting the blue color codes with red ones, or is it more involved than that?
5:55 pm
Hi Alex,
This is it…The layouts are incredible..
But I have a problem..when I copy the darkstar’s code , Ican not see the “edit” and “submit” buttons and thats why I can not add this layout..Can you help?
5:58 pm
Okay okay I fixed it..Thats why because i didnt use the safe mode..Now its working…
Hope to see much more layouts :)
by the way : http://www.myspace.com/aichesaran if u wanna take a look :)
6:14 pm
@aiche
I guess you are on a musician account? You must use Safe Mode when you add this layout.

Hi Alexander,
I have written text into the box shared by the picture of the blonde lady. Unfortunately my complete text seems a sentence too long and runs off. Is it possible to increase to hieght of this box to accomodate all of my text?
8:21 pm
Graham find this:
.masthead .id3 { width: 648px; position: absolute; left: 192px; top: 375px; height: 66px; color:999999; padding: 0px; font-size:12px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; overflow: hidden; }Replace it with something like
.masthead .id3 { width: 648px; position: absolute; left: 192px; top: 370px; height: 80px; color:999999; padding: 0px; font-size:12px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; overflow: hidden; }(I changed top position to move the whole thing up a little, and added 15px height or something)
4:55 pm

@Ryan, yes it is :)

to whatever size you want.

Hi. Thanks so much for the great layout! All of them look really good. Just one quick question, in the Autumn layout, is it possible for you to help me so that I can adjust the font in the “About Me” section? Thanks!!

dude if u can tell me how to do it datll be great
thank you
3:10 am
I still can’t change the font size in the MySpaceURL box, no matter what I do. Your demos for this design (and the red one) show a nice size font whose code is the same as mine, but for some reason mine won’t change size.
I thought it might be a Mac thing, but that makes no sense that my browser can’t read the code on my design, but can read it for all your demos.
I’m stumped!
7:23 am
i need help http://i34.tinypic.com/2vt1k4n.jpg has a big white picture hole in the middle of it i wanna leave the little area with the blonde lady and i wanna add my own header i just need the backround with out the big white hole in the shape of a picture cause it cuts into the nice blue border well yea hopefully someone can help!!

9:49 pm
@Joeee,
To get a code for that, I recommend going through the scripts on http://www.createblog.com. They have a script to put something custom above that, there are atleast 3, I’m sure. I saw them before. Check that out, and you’ll find it.
9:01 pm
Hey man… I have this design up on my myspace and I wanted to make a quick change to it. Is there an html code I can use to temporarily modify the size of the default font in just one area of the page? I tried to use the code: TEXT and also TEXT but neither of these worked. Thanks.
9:36 pm
hm… would be really nice if you could port this design to 2.0… think over it… would be appreciated…
thanks’n'greets
4:39 am
hey um on the layout i chose. i like it a lot. but the only problem is when it show a person being online(like a person on my top) the “online now” font is way to big. how do i change that???
12:11 am
Alex, I absolutely adore your works. Sorry if you have been asked for this a million times…but, how is possible to change the main dark background image with something else? Thnax a lot for your interest….
5:23 am
Alex, Awesome design! I have a big gap between the girl photo and the rest of the layout. Do you know how I can get rid of this. I also have this broken paper symbol above my images that replaced the default images, any idea why? My layout is at: http://www.myspace.com/captorvideo
Thanks in advance!
12:58 pm
i need some help on how to get the ‘add to friends’ and ’send message’ links working on my page. i’ve read the previous instructions but i’m still confused and it’s still not working.
6:25 am
I’m also having the same problem a couple of other people are having with not being able to see the “save” button after I click the “preview” button. Yes, it is a band page. You say to use safe mode, but I have no idea what you mean by that. What do you mean by “safe mode”?
9:16 am
@Kirk,
Safe Mode is an alternate way of adding content to pages. Mostly used for adding code. I think MySpace took this option away for regular users, but bands should still have this. If you use it to put your code in, it’ll work. Because putting it in regularly just don’t work. The MySpace staff are just idiots, and haven’t fixed Music pages yet. They’re too busy trying to be greedy, and make money off of Music submitted by artists.
You should never use the preview option, because MySpace screwed up on that too, and they will never fix it, believe me. They just don’t care enough about the community. All they care about is money, cash, and more money.
I recommend disabling styles on your edit profile page, then read the profile, so you can find Safe Mode in there. There is a Safe Mode, I promise.

That’s where [Safe Mode] is placed.
@Marco
Find this code, to replace the background image / background color. Change the tinypic link to the background image you want, and viola!
body {font-size: 1px; line-height: auto;background-color:101010; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: top center; background-image: url(http://i40.tinypic.com/fvfhhy.jpg);}@Baldo
Hey! Thanks. I belive that space there is because you use a movie profile – and myspace staff always mess up their coding, so apparently they arent using the same method as for the music pages, which means I can’t do much about that space, sorry. Other layouts, with the ads not at the very top should work though.
6:34 am
Got it!! thanks. sorry for the dumb question. =)
6:58 am
Great layouts man! I decided to just forward my domain to my myspace and your design has given a professional look. I am using it on my music page with no problems. However, I was curious if there was a way to scroll the About Me box at the top of the screen.

Hey man… it seems this template has been taken off line. If you go to my myspace page, you will see that all the graphics have disappeared. What happened? myspace.com/jaycataldo
1:45 am
Hey guys, any idea what happened to the hosted images for this layout.
They were hosted by tinypic but layout now says images have been deleted or moved.
Any ideas?
2:42 pm
I noticed this too. Not sure what happened, but i’m already looking for a new template.
2:45 pm
Here’s a note from the administrator:
My tinypic.com image account got banned for some unknown reason, which means all themes are broken.
Time to search for backups of the images, if I still have them. We’ll see when I get time to fix it. Sorry for all broken profiles – not much I can do about it.
Here are 5 themes still availiable: http://-alx-.createblog.com/layouts/
Thanks, tinypic.
EDIT: Ok, this seem to be some kind of tinypic problem, since their own blog shows banned images as well.http://blog.tinypic.com/. Let’s hope they fix it.
6:06 pm
Hi, is there any confirmation as to whether this is a tinypic problem, or whether the administrators tinypic account got banned? The only reason I ask is that we use one of designmyspace’s layouts for our business MySpace page and can’t afford to go without a layout for long. That being said, I don’t know where else to look for layouts nearly as good as the ones here, so I am hoping that the images come back up soon!
Thanks in advance,
Brad

I thought you could made a myspace layout for free on this site.
I don’t have the money for this.
If this site is really free then how do I start making a music layout.
10:52 am
Thanks, Tim, for pointing out the createblog.com URL! I nearly had a stroke when I saw the layout was missing it’s images, and your tip enabled me to get my page fixed without going into full cardiac arrest. Huge thanks for that.
I’ve since realized that Alex replaced the not-working tinypic-hosted images with working tinypic-hosted images in his code above, so anyone looking for a fix need just use Alex’s code above. (Thanks for having the back-ups, Alex!)
12:02 pm
I was wondering why the red equivalent of this design has disappeared from your site because unfortunately, I was using this theme (and I really loved it), and oviously tinypic has deleted some of images for this design. i was hoping to get a new code with working image links here …
12:46 pm
I had the red version of this and it messed up when the tinypic error occured, I have now amended it to the blue in the meantime (fingers crossed that the red is back on shortly) however I now have a problem whereby I have a HUGE gap at the bottom of my page which is just blank…I sat and compared the coding for red and blue together and there isn’t any difference apart from the colour coding and one area;
RED VERSION;
NOTE {Edit these if you want}
.blacktext12:before {content: “OMG! “;}
.redbtext:after {content: ” über”;}
.masthead {width: 900px; height: 499px; position: absolute; margin-left: -450px; left: 50%; top: 206px; background-color:transparent; background-image: url(http://i44.tinypic.com/zkhk7n.jpg);}
body table {margin-top:510px;}
BLUE VERSION;
NOTE {Edit these if you want}
.blacktext12:before {content: “OMG! “;}
.redbtext:after {content: ” über”;}
.masthead {width: 900px; height: 499px; position: absolute; margin-left: -450px; left: 50%; top: 184px; background-color:transparent; background-image: url(http://i39.tinypic.com/2py9myc.jpg);}
body table {margin-top:510px;}
As visible RED states 206PX and BLUE states 184PX for top sizing….I tried to amend this but it didn’t do anything apart from removing the blue line so I changed it back to 184PX..
I have other codes in my page to hide friends and comments but I had them previously also and never had a huge black gap at the end of the page…Hope you can advise on how to get rid!!! :-)
6:02 pm
It has been updated Rob.
6:29 pm
Alex, thank you so much for taking the time to fix the tinypic issue so quickly. I’m sure everyone here really appreciates it. :)
-Jay
8:14 am
Hey Alex, thank u so much for fixing it, but there’s still another issue I need to bother u with. Hope u don’t mind me getting on your nerves: the link to the red version (i.e. http://designmyspace.org/2008/12/series-2-darkstar-red/) doesn’t work. So am I just simply too stupid to find the proper link, or is there really something wrong?
9:10 am
Hi, Alex!! Sorry but, what about Darkstar 1? Are you going to fix it?I tried to re-load some other images, but is only a temporary measure…Thanx for your interest.
3:39 am
hey I added the layout and it was working fine for the first day. I looked at my myspace from another computer and the background there are a lot of squares saying the image was moved or erased of tinypic. What can i do to fix it??
1:04 am
Damn. I hope that you can find the backup for Darkness. :(
7:23 am
Switched to this layout after the tinypic ban took out my first choice(I think it might have been the Darkness). I am liking this one too but wondered how I could move the top section over the myspace bar if that makes sense. I.E. the masthead images would appear first then you could scroll down to the myspace header bar with the home & sign out buttons, then the profile. Sorry to hear about the ban, you had a lot of great work posted.
9:17 pm
i changed the pics in the image, with different urls from tiny pic, now they don’t work
9:21 pm
nevermind i got it
7:20 am
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH! Ive been working on my boyfriend’s bands’ layout ALL DAMN DAY! This is the code I finally stuck with. LOOKS AMAZING!!! THANK YOU!!!!
11:11 pm
Please Alex, re-load the first Darkstar!!! It would be great for me….Thanx in advance.

3:40 am
Hey Alx,
Thanks for the awesome design.
Piggybacking on Ashley’s question and your response (nov 11th), I’m trying to put in a slideshow, but instead of displaying were it is supposed to it is bumped down into the ‘About me’ section.
I’m a code writing newb trying to make this work, and I’ve clearly not put the correct flash code in…any pointers?
I’ve put:
3:41 am
Thanks!
4:41 am
Figured it out! Thanks anyways!!
4:49 pm
I like it showing the “add to friends” and “contact me” buttons but it puts a black box over my area that has all the rest of the buttons (where people normally click for those options), and I’d rather my original myspace layout design to show in that box. Check it out at http://www.myspace.com/rpmworship. I’ve searched the http info but can’t figure out how to make that box go away without deleting the two buttons at the top. Please help!!! Thanks!
1:29 am
Hello when I enter the code I press “preview” then the theme that puts in place but I can not do anything after his not registered how do I do thank you in advance
7:42 pm
Hello Alex, Nice layout and thank you for creating a great piece of work :D I just encountered a problem with my beatport player, I can’t push the ‘get these tracks’ or ‘get this player’ button – This is quite important for me as an indie artiste that relies on sales of my tracks online.
I tried at beatport.com to get another player, I was thinking that maybe it was the code, but after pasting the html there again, it still doesnt work. Please advise as my other djdownload player works fine.
Please help, thanks

12:57 pm
Hi!
I’m trying to get this to work with a band site, but I really, really can’t find the safe mode, and the link with picture on how it looks doesn’t work.
Help, please?
On another note , great, great designs! Big ups!
11:24 am
we want knew layouts… shalalalala… we want new layouuuts… shalalalalala…. x)
10:39 pm
@yes_man!,
I’m sure he will make more layouts when he has time. He must be busy. I doubt he’d just up and abandon this site, especially with all the hits it gets. Something must have come up, that is ultimately more important. We’ll all just have to wait. (not being sarcastic either)
So I guess just wait, keep checking the site, atleast once a month, if ya can’t do it once a week, and eventually, when he can, there will be new ones. I look forward to seeing them aswell.
7:06 pm
Hello, (i’m french so excuse my bad english^^)

Your work is stellar.

2:00 am
Beautiful design. CSS is simple, well-laid out, and easy to follow/edit. Thank you for making your “copyright” subtle and non-intrusive. Keep up the good work!

4:02 am
is there anyway to use this for a 2.0 layout?
11:56 am
hey guys… if you may have noticed, myspace has got some problems with the designs from alex…
i firstly thought i have messed mine up, cause i edited it yesterday… but that wasnt the problem… so i tryed the original code from this page and nothing changed either… i checked some users which use designs from designmyspace.org (i checked alex too^^) and fount out that they have all the same problem…
the font size of some moduls is suddenly very, very tiny… i am talking about moduls like: details, schools, your interests and even your actual mood (not your status) is tiny… :(( thats pretty bad, cause its really unreadable and messes the whole design up…
so maybe anyone here has a solution vor this… cause i am not that skilled in html and dont even have a clue where the problem is situated…
hoping for help
greets
nirv
6:34 pm
I have the same problem with the font size ;( HELP
6:55 pm
that just happened to me to, it screwed me up for like 2 hours today! – but i FIXED it! Log in in SAFE MODE, Hit “control + F”, and search for “font-size”.. you will see a few options come up.. When you see the one that shows the font size to be 1, change that to 11.. that fixes it!
7:08 pm
big thx liz….
i hadn’t even got to log into safe mode… just copied the whole code into a .txt-file and searched through it, and changed te 1 to 11… copied back to who i would like to meat and saved… and it worked… but i have no idea, why suddenly the font size changed (and this on that amount of profiles) o.O
anyway thx for the help…
greets
nirv
7:10 pm
cool – glad it worked for you :)
2:41 am
There is definitely something broken about the code due to changes made by myspace in the last day or two.
The above temporary fix (i.e., changing the “background” font-size from 1 to 11) does indeed work. For now.
6:25 pm
Worked for me too. Thanks very much!
11:56 pm
Hi Alx,
I have followed all your steps and was able to make a sweet myspcae page thanks to your awesome template.
Thanks!
One problem I have is that the “General Info” section keeps showing up as a tiny font that is unreadable. Any chance you can check it out?
4:10 pm
Figured it our from the peoples above. Der…
Changing the font size in the code from 1px to 11px worked great.
Thanks.

beautiful layout… but one question…. is there any chance that this layout will get updated to the 2.0 layout-version of myspace? i know there are some 1.0 to 2.0 converters in the web, but they dont rly work for these layouts… :-( it would be great if anyone (or alex himself) could post a 2.0 version…. would be really appreciated ;)
hopefully
dean
1:40 pm
@dean,
Unfortunately it won’t be, until I manage to make them into it, and get Alex’s permission to do so, and maybe he puts them up here. He’s not going to do 2.0 he stated that before in another layout comment.
1:56 pm
hm… so that means you would be able to transfer them (or juste the darkstar-theme, cause this is the one i would use^^) IF Alex woud give his ok… he is making great layouts…. i really love the darkstar one… i am using this since i stumbled over his site… but it would be really cool, if this theme could be updated to 2.0, cause i would like to use the benefits of the 2.0 profiles, but dont want to miss this awesome theme… :-/
i would even give a cookie, or two ^^
best regards
9:45 pm
Hey Alexander,
By the way I love your layouts. I was wondering if you can get this layout in the red color? I’m using it for a band I’m in, and red has been our theme color of the band for about 5 years now, but I just love the design of the layout…….What happened to this design in red? =/
–Justin
3:10 pm
@justin,
I know I’m not Alex, but… I tend to answer questions for him sometimes, because he really gets busy alot. I can’t remember for sure, but I think there was a red version at one time, then somebody bought it. I could remake the red version if you want, it just takes a few adjustments in Photoshop. Just make sure to keep the credit link to this website, and it should be fine. But I still have to run this by Alex for permission. Keep in touch by emailing me at my deviantART page. Just click on my icon or name here, and it’ll take you to my page there.
3:41 am
realy want 2 thx for this great layout dude !!!

Drago,
how did you insert the code in a Myspace Music page? Whenever I paste it and try to confirm changes, it displays the images and I can’t find the ‘apply’ button.
Thanks in advance!

3:16 am
Salvador,
When you click “Home” there should be a link at the top that says [Edit Profile] [Safe Mode].
Click [Safe Mode] then apply the code.

Hey Alexander,
These layouts are Ace… would like to see more! Another 8 layouts would kick serious a**!
7:10 pm
Wow, I’m such a dumbass…. been lookin’ for safe mode for about two days and didn’t see it. Thanks Ben!!
4:05 am
xD well if you realy wanna know how i’d fixed the situation :P
i just pressed the button “tab” as much as i needed to find the accept button xD did take maybe 40minutes to find out how often you’ve to push this button to find the right one but it was worth it xD
2:53 pm
Hi Alex, 1st….thank you so much to create such a great work!
Here my question:
how can i activate the links from the contact table?
6:20 am

Does this even work for 2.0 myspace?
2:40 pm
Not to my knowledge. You would have to downgrade to 1.0
2:46 pm
Thanks for responding back Chris.
Unfortunately, I found out that you can’t downgrade to 1.0 anymore.
Sucks!
Theres not many layouts that are for 2.0, so from here on out, Tom sucks, and myspace just all of a sudden sucks w/ Tom too.
11:42 pm
I am trying to COMPLETELY remove the myspace URL section on a band profile with this layout.
When i have put in codes to hide it, it just hides the title and leaves the box

Keep it Up!

Thank you!

I noticed that the red version was missing. I made a straight red and black version of this layout if anyone wants it. Here it is displayed on a fake profile.

Hello! I’m using your site layout and loving it, but as you will see at the bottom I have a lot of information I would like to post, but I don’t really have anywhere nice to put it and so the site is rather lopsided. Is it possible to put in another column on the left side of the page at the bottom? I know that is the myspace formatting in that section, but I thought it was worth asking. Thanks for any help you can give me!!
10:38 am
I can’t add the lay out?
10:30 pm
Hey Alex,
Wonderful layout! 2 quick questions:
1.How would I put more buttons next to ” Add Me” & “Message Me”? I was trying to add a twitter logo but it stays at the top left corner…
2. Would there be a way to add my own photo for the background on the mid and bottom half? That way instead of just black, I was thinking about put a pic of me looking up or something. Just to add some personal flair.
My version is at myspace.com/jthegirl
10:00 am
HI,
I love how professional your layout is. I only have one question for you: how do i change “08.Your MySpace Title” and replace it with “2010. DJ FATHER”?
in case you need it, here is the myspace link:
myspace.com/djfather
Thank you so much in advance. I really appreciate any help I can get to fix this one. I got he pictures on there the way I wanted.
