This post details the effects one can use in custom titles and icons as well as transfer information.

General Title Guidelines

• Titles should be requested in HTML format.
  • You can use an online HTML editor to check your code.
• Max one line per title. Your title can be as many words/characters as you'd like -- but your CSS styling has to make it so that the title does not stretch the board. E.g., "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is acceptable as a title, as long as your title's style makes it so that word does not stretch the board or break onto two lines.
  
• Links are prohibited in custom titles (and similarly, custom icons)
  
• Can't be edited/changed except where a change token is purchased
  
• Can't be transferred from active characters except where a change token is purchased
  
• Can be transferred from inactive characters (not edited)
  
• Title and icon ORDER may be changed if the person is requesting another change to their title area

General Icon Guidelines

• Icons need to be 27x27 pixels or smaller, including black+white outlines. Black + white outlines are highly preferred, but other alternatives (e.g., drop-shadow) are acceptable on case-by-case basis.
  
• Transfer rules same as with titles: free transferring only from inactive/dead; transfer from active requires token; order shuffles permitted when adding new icons.
  
• Custom icons can never be edited.
