† ParasiteEve Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) @Roots of Unity At the bottom of the page, where it says theme. It has a drop down box with a new option Edited October 31, 2015 by ParasiteEve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Right now I'm trying to fix this issue: Also looking into a way to resize avatars to not be so tiny, and possibly not forced to be square; but it seems the uploader forces you to crop in a perfect square. -_- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Editor background adjusted so links should now be visible when posting. Quote, Code, and Spoiler boxes are now styled to match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Changed the background temporarily to a Halloween theme just because. Also I made some other minor tweaks around with margins and padding so breadcrumbs, etc.. are the same width as the rest of the design. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† ParasiteEve Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 You might already know this but, on mobile the background photo just looks really pixelated, it was more noticeable with the previous background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't checked it on mobile since doing this skin, but you're right. However at least on my mobile, very little is actually seen so you can't even really tell it was an actual image, almost looks like some pixelated pattern. I'm not sure about how to make the background swap out or disappear if screen gets too tiny. On desktop even squeezing the window as small as it allows never makes the background look terrible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same way on mine. At first I just thought you had changed it to a solid color until i paid more attention, maybe someone will make a mobile specific theme that could fix it if auto resizing isn't an option.

Koby Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I think I've just about finished up the varying elements. Activity Streams, PM pages, Dropdown Navis, Footer, etc.. are now properly styled. I also boxed in the Mark Forum Read to make it more noticeable along with the moderation controls (for our moderators). Is there anything that looks out of whack or not properly styled to the theme? Let me know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we have the funds, we'll get it when that time comes. Now that it seems I've just about polished off my version of the css framework needed; I'll probably work on some other themes. I really want to re-introduce our old theme I had made when we used vBulletin. An archived version can be seen here: https://web.archive.org/web/20111014051049/http://forums.kametsu.com Although it'd obviously have it's own set of changes based on different software and rebuilding the design from the ground up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one at the bottom of the page that's still a bit hard to read unless you scroll down: and are you still tackling this issue? Finally, as a suggestion, I would make the "Start new topic button" follow the same theme as "Reply to this topic" E.g. Edit: Would you be able to bring back hyperlinks in the status section? Whats weird is that the editor recognises it as a hyperlink, but once the status is posted, it just reverts to plain text. This is also when posting it from the status feed, not through ones profile.

Hark0n Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I would like to complain about the avatar transparency thing again. You mentioned that it would be fixed in new theme, so I was wondering how thing are going about that. Also, avatar next to replay box in status updates appear to be rounded. It is only for replay box and not for status updates of or comments themselves. EDIT: Picture I wanted to include in post didn't appear to work, so link instead: http://someimage.com/R6dUf7u Edited November 2, 2015 by Hark0n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see about something for the first one soon. Still trying to figure out why that div is loading under the other elements. No one has responded to my query in the designers board of the IPS support forum though. Start new topic does in the thread list view, but inside an actual thread the reply gets priority. I could change this, but it'd also change other things around the board that share the same element unless I changed some of the html to give that button a different element and I'm trying to avoid doing more template edits than we have to because they often end up broken with theme changes during upgrades while the custom.css won't break anything. Already had to redo the footer to make the bar actually design correctly because IPS has some tags in reverse for whatever reason. Also noticed I still have to do the thread previews They're not properly styled yet... and I'd like to customize the breadcrumbs bar further. I also would like to add a background changer later so users can swap out the background for something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaux Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Is it going to stay a banner-less design? Might have to switch BotM to Background of the Month I think you mentioned in the other topic about creating a coded template and allowing people to make designs, is this still going ahead?
