what if i... joined you in this torture? : )

bc no

this is more a coding pet peeve --

please don't use inline styles when ur making a skin. they make everything 900x harder to read and even harder to tweak later on. if ur not sure what i mean, i mean pls don't do div style="color:red;". a longer read on it here but ya don't do it!! it looks easier & faster but it's a lie! a trick!!!

sadly inline styles are the only way i've found certain things to work on jcink, namely image inputs lmao. Otherwise I just get the constant repeating glitch.

background-image: <!--field 1--> are the only things i use them for tho but like every other solution I've tried just Does Not Work.

for w/e its worth the sentiment that i think fossa's trying 2 express is that it's best practice to not use inline styling unless there's legit no way to do what ur trying to do in the CSS (which for the record i agree w 100% LMFAO, keep ur HTML clean kids you'll thank yourself for it later)

but bc jcink is Like That you legit can't access its skinning variables anywhere that's not the html so tbh you're fine && imo that's one of those 'i do love jcink but oh man was this forum host sure developed by one guy who's a backend developer' things u kinda just gotta either (1) put in a genuine feature request for on jcink or (2) work around, which is the option i have also chosen for my own dev work LMAO so ur gucci IMO 

Gonna be real, havent coded things in a few months.

but what I do? Immediately go work on my site skin.

I now wish to forever sleep.

oh fair

tho i'll confess my sins: i use inline styles and then convert them to imported styles all the time i'm a disgusting coder--

I don’t necessarily start out my codes with inline, but i also don’t generally employ line breaks and stuff in my sheets. This is mainly because once it gets really long, the lagging is insufferable, so for skins @ least I generally keep pretty minimized in the stylesheet

I want to learn how to skin for jcink and make like public free to use skins, but I feel like my coding is too messy and my "style" isn't exactly good 😭

Do it anyway
Everyone knows the best time to develop your style is exactly five seconds after you just spent l i t e r a l d a y s finishing something entirely different

Nonsense! If that's something you wanna do, go for it 100%! In this house, we support all coders. 👏👏👏 If you're worried about messy code, it's a relatively easy fix to get into more organized practices and will generally be helpful even in your own personal codes down the line. And if you're worried about style - don't be. Striving to improve is always commendable, but there's a place in the community for everyone's coding, new or old, unique or not. You've got this!

my code isn't living up to the graphics i'm using >.<
