It's been a while since I have flexed my magic muscles, but a question (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=329287.msg15733298#msg15733298) drew me back in.<br/><br/>Reproducing it here fore your intellectual amusement:<br/><br/>Y'all remember the borders spell (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=290221.msg15184869#msg15184869)?  A simplified version works with images:<br/><br/>(https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg)<br/>(https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/1AQATRw.jpg)(https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg)<br/>(https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg)<br/><br/>Here's an explanation and a guide:<br/><br/>First, go to the Solid Backgrounds (https://www.solidbackgrounds.com) and search for a colour.   Once you find one you like, right click on it and select "copy image location", then paste it somewhere to be used as a border.  For example, the one that I used was Safety Orange Blaze (https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg) (remember kids, Safety is important (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjPau5QYtYs)!)<br/><br/>Now, find the image and do the same.  It is best to find the image of the right size without specifying the height/width dimensions in BBCode, since a click on the resized image will display it in it's normal size which will mess up the borders.  To find the dimensions of the image, right click on it and choose "inspect".<br/><br/>Now you need to do a little arithmetic and lay the images out like this:<br/>1. As the top border, the solid colour, resized to the desired border width by the image width plus twice the border width.  So for a 150Wx200H avatar, and a 10 pixels wide border, you would choose height=10 and width =180<br/>2. On the next line beneath it, the solid colour resized to the desired border width by the image height (height=200 and width =10) as the left border<br/>3. To the right of it, the image<br/>4. To the right of it, the same solid colour as the left border in #2, to act as the right border<br/>5. On the next line beneath it, the same solid colour as the top border in #1, to act as the bottom border<br/><br/>All of it together:<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[img height=10 width=170]https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg[/img]<br/>[img height=200 width=10]https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/1AQATRw.jpg[/img][img height=200 width=10]https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg[/img]<br/>[img height=10 width=170]https://www.solidbackgrounds.com/images/125x125/125x125-safety-orange-blaze-orange-solid-color-background.jpg[/img]<br/></code></pre><br/>You can even go completely bonkers if you want to, by using blinkenlights (https://colorfulfades.tumblr.com/archive) instead of solid images, adding some<tt class="bbc_tt">[floatleft]</tt>and<tt class="bbc_tt">[floatright]</tt>tags,  and wrapping it all in a<tt class="bbc_tt">[table]</tt>:<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e2683f87309b4ed821eaebf337c1ee0/tumblr_oi4kn52eZU1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)<br/><div class="floatleft">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e2683f87309b4ed821eaebf337c1ee0/tumblr_oi4kn52eZU1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)</div><div class="floatright">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e2683f87309b4ed821eaebf337c1ee0/tumblr_oi4kn52eZU1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)</div>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/b12382a54860c9b59575b2819caa4931/tumblr_oi4kozOW5q1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)<br/><div class="floatleft">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/b12382a54860c9b59575b2819caa4931/tumblr_oi4kozOW5q1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)</div><div class="floatright">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/b12382a54860c9b59575b2819caa4931/tumblr_oi4kozOW5q1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)</div>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/25d4135a88a92eefb8d1bee90f2a9bad/tumblr_oi4kmg8DBm1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)<br/>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/25d4135a88a92eefb8d1bee90f2a9bad/tumblr_oi4kmg8DBm1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)(https://i.imgur.com/vqG9pD3.png)(https://64.media.tumblr.com/25d4135a88a92eefb8d1bee90f2a9bad/tumblr_oi4kmg8DBm1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)<br/>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/25d4135a88a92eefb8d1bee90f2a9bad/tumblr_oi4kmg8DBm1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)<br/>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/b12382a54860c9b59575b2819caa4931/tumblr_oi4kozOW5q1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)<br/>(https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e2683f87309b4ed821eaebf337c1ee0/tumblr_oi4kn52eZU1u3ji4yo1_500.gif)<br/></td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Like this:<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[table][tr][td]<br/>[img height=10 width=248]https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e2683f87309b4ed821eaebf337c1ee0/tumblr_oi4kn52eZU1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img]<br/>[floatleft][img height=291 width=10]https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e2683f87309b4ed821eaebf337c1ee0/tumblr_oi4kn52eZU1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[floatright][img height=291 width=10]https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e2683f87309b4ed821eaebf337c1ee0/tumblr_oi4kn52eZU1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img][/floatright]<br/>[img height=10 width=228]https://64.media.tumblr.com/b12382a54860c9b59575b2819caa4931/tumblr_oi4kozOW5q1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img]<br/>[floatleft][img height=271 width=10]https://64.media.tumblr.com/b12382a54860c9b59575b2819caa4931/tumblr_oi4kozOW5q1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[floatright][img height=271 width=10]https://64.media.tumblr.com/b12382a54860c9b59575b2819caa4931/tumblr_oi4kozOW5q1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img][/floatright]<br/>[img height=10 width=208]https://64.media.tumblr.com/25d4135a88a92eefb8d1bee90f2a9bad/tumblr_oi4kmg8DBm1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img]<br/>[img height=251 width=10]https://64.media.tumblr.com/25d4135a88a92eefb8d1bee90f2a9bad/tumblr_oi4kmg8DBm1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/vqG9pD3.png[/img][img height=251 width=10]https://64.media.tumblr.com/25d4135a88a92eefb8d1bee90f2a9bad/tumblr_oi4kmg8DBm1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img]<br/>[img height=10 width=208]https://64.media.tumblr.com/25d4135a88a92eefb8d1bee90f2a9bad/tumblr_oi4kmg8DBm1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img]<br/>[img height=10 width=228]https://64.media.tumblr.com/b12382a54860c9b59575b2819caa4931/tumblr_oi4kozOW5q1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img]<br/>[img height=10 width=248]https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e2683f87309b4ed821eaebf337c1ee0/tumblr_oi4kn52eZU1u3ji4yo1_500.gif[/img]<br/>[/td][/tr][/table]<br/></code></pre><br/><br/>Have fun,<br/>-- Al<br/>
