Hello! This is the sample page for this web graphic set. These graphics are watermarked for display purposes, but the ones in the zip file are clear and perfectly usable.

These graphics are free for use on personal and non-profit web pages. A link back is required on every page where our graphics are used, partly so that people who visit your pages will know where to look to find free graphics sets, and partly to give credit where credit is due.

Use of these graphics on a commercial site or for commercial purposes requires special arrangements and the payment of a license fee before the graphics are used. (Note: a "commercial" site is one from which any financial profit is derived or which advertises any goods or services. This includes putting the images on a website by a web designer on behalf of a client).

These graphics for web pages only. They are not to be used for email stationery, for decoration on papers or cards, or for anything other than web pages. The point of "linkware" graphics is to give us a link back while allowing you the use of quality graphics. Using the graphics for anything other than web pages pretty much defeats the purpose of making them available in the first place (and they're not "free" despite having no monetary fee at this time for personal and non-commercial use).

Please do feel free to customize the set by adding text to the buttons and/or title images, but you may not otherwise alter the graphics by changing the colors, resizing them, resampling them, or otherwise altering their appearance in noticible ways. They may not be used for "recycled" art or derivative works.

Our graphics may not be used in or added to any online collections, CD ROM collections, sold or redistributed in any way. They may not be offered for download from any web or FTP site, nor on any bulletin board or newsgroup. They may not be circulated by email, file sharing, or any other means.

Please be sure to read the Terms of Use that is enclosed with the .zip, as there are a few other restrictions and usage guidelines, as well, and by downloading any of our graphics, you are legally bound to abide by the terms we have set. We do, of course, understand and believe that most people are honorable and want to do the right thing.

To download this graphic set you must regsiter (don't worry, it's free and very quick!) and be logged in to the main Alicorna site.

The font used in this set is Hadley. The roses are made from an original Photoshop brush by Mystery Brushes, to whom I can no longer provide a link because the site doesn't appear to be there any more.

This graphic set and page template were inspired by the quote, which has long been a favorite of mine. The goth, moody feel went along with my personal interpretation of that quote.

Because this graphics set and page template uses iframes, it will work only in a 5.x+ browser. However, there is a message and link that is viewable only to people using a browser older than 5.x which explains that their browser is not capable of viewing the iframe and provides a link to the content page (i.e., to this page, which appears in the iframe).

This set is completely viewable at 800x600 screen resolution or better, but at 640x480, the content area can be easily centered on the screen.

This template/graphics set, like all of the sets offered by Alicorna, includes an external Cascading Style Sheet. Well, rather, this set includes TWO external style sheets, one for the page with the graphics/iframe, and one for the content page. The CSS is necessary to make the set work properly. This set includes everything you see here. There is no title image, although if you wanted to make one on black, you could sandwich it in above the table fairly easily.

It is highly recommended that you be reasonably well-versed in HTML and familiar with your journaling/blogging software/script before attempting to use this template. The content (i.e., the entries/text) goes on a second page (content.html). Any links, webrings, etc. that you add will go on the main (index.html) page. I recommend having a read of The IFrames Lowdown if you're in doubt or if you'd like to learn more.
