So, the new theme.
« on: July 20, 2012, 11:30:21 PM »
Let's not derail the Brawl thread any further. Before I go to fix the theme, I'd like to get a list of the problems about it. I can't check everything myself, seeing as I don't have access to mod stuff and there may be things that I miss. So, let's list the problems we find, shall we?

Current known issues:
[FIXED] means that I have located what I believe is the problem and 'fixed' it to the best of my knowledge. But, since I am doing this blind, I can't see if what I did actually fixed the problem until Lucas uploads the new version. When I've confirmed that it is really fixed, it'll be removed from the list altogether.
[UNTOUCHED] means just that, either due to a lack of knowledge, I'm waiting on Lucas for something I need to fix it, or i just haven't gotten to it yet.

[UNTOUCHED]-No spacing in between posts.
[REATTEMPT]-Forum list should be darker than the background.
[REATTEMPT]-Profile Text is black.
[UNTOUCHED]-Thread List patterns not consistent.
[UNTOUCHED]-Dark bar next to active option in top bar.
[REATTEMPT]-"Subject / Started by, last post" bar above all the threads in a section is light grey.
[REATTEMPT]-PM Title is black.

Possible projects:
[UNTOUCHED]-Restoring the banner at the top of the page and possibly random rotation of banners.
[REATTEMPT]-Fixing size of reply box.
[UNTOUCHED]-Restore old icons.

If I had any sort of input or help, you would hear from me. x3

Add to the list the infini-reply box. It is way wider than the page.

Also, is it just me, or are the colors slightly off?

EDIT: Also, the Save/Preview/Spell Check buttons are the wrong blue.

The reply box was like that before my changes (at least for me). You probably weren't using 2O11 before the switch, but I can look into it. I used the colors from the one banner that used to cycle and from the main charas-project.net page. Restoring the banner looks very possible.

Change the theme you're using to Forum Default.

I'm on Forum Default.
My main color is white, with some other things blue and a big ugly Seffaf Tema logo at the top.

Ed: to clarify, quotes and the reply box are blue. That's it.

Also, that old box that had our avatar, control panel, and Unread Posts links?
I really miss that.

Also, keep in mind I'm on a really shitty phone.

Wasn't like this before the forum upgrade.

Has anyone thought of migrating to a different forum system?
That isn't PUB.

From what I can gather, PUB had about as much glitches as SMF has bots.

The "Subject / Started by, last post" bar above all the threads in a section is light grey.

Would it be possible to make the "new post" icon at the side of a section orang'y or something? I barely notice when something have happened.

Also, would it be possible to make every other post in a different colour. I remember that the old forum had a light and a dark blue used like that.
Kinda this colour I think:

Yeah, it did.
I have some screenshots of Charas Blue in my dropbox.
Day after tomorrow I'll link 'em.

Also could we remove the Seffaf tema logo in the upper right corner? It appear to be a picture so it should be possible.

>And about the questions. If you mean the shiny stuff on our profile info - remove it. at least for the title, post and such.

Bold links : yes please.

Changing icons is very easy, actually just swapping the images. I was going to ask Lucas to send me the icons the old Charas Blue theme used.

While making the current changes, I came across something that may be posts that swap colors, but the 2O11 just decided to use the same color three times. None of my old screens had the darker post color, so I decided not to bother, but if someone does have screens (like fruck) of the darker post color, I could try it.

I'm afraid to remove the Seffaf Tema logo, as that may not be what the original creator wants. I don't know what it means. It may be a team name.

I'm amazed that it's easier to reconstruct the charas theme from this rather than fix the buttons in the old one :p

I mean, I'm not complaining, and keep up the good work.  I know there must be a reason.

Found another bug. When modifying a message or writing a new one, the "previous post" thingy got the authors in black. like when it's a list of all the post and above lucas post here it says "written by lucas_irineu today 12.29pm" but in black instead of white.
