Hide Views Menu in Blogger Dynamic Template

As said by blogger it supports following views
  • Classic
  • Flipcard
  • Magazine
  • Mosaic
  • Sidebar
  • Snapshot
  • Timeslide
But all the people do not like all the menu! I like the Sidebar view! You can configure your blog to display Dynamic Views, and select a default view that best displays the type of posts on their blog. You can simply select another view style from the toolbar, which, in some views, collapses into a thin line as you scroll. If you want to remove such toolbar fro changing the views then you can do it with school level css! 

In our blog we have hidden the Views Toolbar by the core method of editing template and not CSS method but the result is same!



STEP:-
Go to Dashboard ('House' symbol) --> Template --> Customize --> Advanced --> Add CSS --> Paste the following code --> Press enter after the last character of the last line } --> Apply to Blog --> Done


.menu {
display: none;
}
.header-drawer
{
margin-left: -5px !important;
}


For any help, please comment!

Re-size Sidebar Width in Blogger Dynamic View

Blogger Sidebar view, the best ever and said by me ever ;-). You can notice that blogger sidebar width is not enough for bigger post title! As a result title truncates. To avoid it, let us change the width of the sidebar! But before editing, I wanna say that dont keep sidebar too much wide, because it would be hard for users having less screen resolution to surf your blog! We would end up with small area for our article if Sidebar is too wide!



STEP:-
Go to Dashboard ('House' symbol) --> Template --> Customize --> Advanced --> Add CSS --> Paste the following code --> Press enter after the last character of the last line } --> Apply to Blog --> Done

.sidebar #sidebar{
width: 250px !important;
}
.sidebar #content{
margin-left: 250px;
}

The size should be set by yourself by changing the numbers in RED. Note that both values of size in red must be same! If you keep different values in both red color number then overlapping or vast space between the sidebar and article may be created!

Show Full Post Title in 'Flipcard' Blogger Dynamic View

The main advantage of FlipCard View is that all posts are accommodated in a single page! Also thumbnail for them are included with it! But the sad point is that Blogger truncates the bigger post titles and add '...' behind them! It make me uneasy to find the required blog post! It shows the publishing date and no of comments!

Flipcard Blogger Dynamic View


Use the below steps to remove useless publishing date and make your post title Full!

STEP:-
Go to Dashboard ('House' symbol) --> Template --> Customize --> Advanced --> Add CSS --> Paste the following code --> Press enter after the last character of the last line } --> Apply to Blog --> Done


.overlay .title, .ss{
height: 110px !important;
max-height: 110px !important;
}

{-webit-box-shadow:0 0 2px #ccc;
box-shadow:0 0 2px #ccc}

It generate scroll-bar similar to our blog! If you want another creative scroll bar then go to any of following link and get new code and paste that code instead of above given code!
1. Add Custom webkit Scrollbar for your site in Chrome

3. Add Custom Scrollbar in Chrome!!! - Nulled by Ishan

It works for Chrome, and may be Mozzila!
