010 - layout: generator code  
I first began blogging on the website LiveJournal in the summer of 2002. My favorite layout style was "Generator". It's always been a constant in my life. When I joined Dreamwidth in 2009, I was able to import the layout. I did not begin using DW regularly until 2017. I came back to a few messages in my inbox asking me for this code. I figured out how to share it with you guys. I hope you enjoy it.

download the Generator code here

Go to Advanced Customization.
Click on Your Layers
Under "Create top-level layer", select "Layout" for Type and "Core 1" for Core Version. Hit create.
You'll be taken back to your layers page. You should see a layer titled "Livejournal S2 Core V1". Click edit. Paste the code and click save & compile.
Now you need to use the layout. Go to Customize Journal Style page. Click on "Your Custom Layers" and apply your new theme
To edit the theme colors and fonts further, click "Customize".

Thank you so much for this. I have literally just wanted Generator back for years. One question...is there a way to make the edit post/edit tags/add to memories/notify icons show up on posts from the main page when I'm logged in? Thanks again!

I imported the raw source code from InsaneJournal some time ago (did the same with disjointed) but then I deleted my Gen layer for some reason so it's been easier and quicker to copy and paste your code this time, so thank you 🤗

Just need to remember all the customizations there are. I remember it not being easy to just change the font size of my entries without changing the font size on the whole layout.

Do you still have the disjointed code?
