character roster/cast list → banded

Compact, simple cast list for mod journals and CDJs, left in neutral grays so you can color to match your own color scheme! If looking for colors, check out palettes of color combinations at Colour Lovers.

If you'd like to change the colors, find/replace the following:

#FFF #000 #444 #888 #AAA #CCC #DDD #EEE

To add a new header, use the following code:

To add another character, use the following code:

instructions→
1. Copy/paste the code into your entry.

2. Fill it in! The HTML is marked with where you can add more characters and headers, and the codes to do so are listed above.

CATEGORY HEADER is the category of the list (Avengers, Hufflepuffs, Zombies, whatever).
USERPIC should be that character's userpic (or a square gif if you want to get fancy but it could get messy with that many gifs on a page).
USERNAME and JOURNAL should both be replaced with your character's journal name.

3. The "more information" tag can be anything you want depending on what you're using the cast list for. If you want to add another line of information, increase the height of the character box by 10 pixels for each line you add (this is marked in the HTML as well).

4. Other suggestions! The background color of the CHARACTER NAME panel can be used to color-code groups of characters if you have certain teams, occupations, or other designations that the CATEGORY HEADING doesn't necessarily describe.

5. Enjoy :)

Please keep the credit code at the bottom of the template so that people can find their way back to

supersuits if they want to use it. Thank you!

	Just letting you know before I close this window for my sanity (!) that I'm modifiying for use on my journal here (locked for now while I'm working on it - should get it finalised by end of today...) (Reply to this)
