ShadowMage Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hey guys, I've finished my user stylesheet for this forum! The stylesheet is a user style for the FireFox addon Stylish. You can find it here:http://userstyles.org/styles/53855/w3schools-forum-darkness-falls?r=1316550615 Let me know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmdpa Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Cool theme! It must have taken you quite a lot of time to create it. After installing the theme on Firefox, I also ported it to Opera: Install Easy User CSS extension: https://addons.opera.../easy-user-css/Paste this code into the popup when the forum page is open and click "Save". One suggestion: don't you think the new banner icon would look better? It would even fit the color theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMage Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Cool theme! It must have taken you quite a lot of time to create it.Yeah, it took me a while. Lot of tinkering and inspecting elements in FireBug. Also took a little creative thinking with some of the selectors to get things to work out just right. One suggestion: don't you think the new banner icon would look better? It would even fit the color theme.You mean the boring, plain white square from the actual banner image? I personally thought my new one looked a bit....fancier. I can tinker with it and see what it looks like using the icon from the actual banner image. EDIT: Wait, maybe I've got the wrong image embedded in the production code.....I accidentally used the wrong one while I was testing it out and maybe that's the one that snuck into my released version.....Let me check......EDIT EDIT: No, that's the right image....

Fmdpa Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Not that I don't like your logo, but sometimes I think minimalism overrules fanciness. Thinking about it more now, though, the default logo may not look so good with your theme. The font you used in your logo complements your theme better. Something that you may want to change is the "sign up" button. It's one of those things you probably missed because you were logged in. It is the original green still.

Thinking about it more now, though, the default logo may not look so good with your theme. The font you used in your logo complements your theme better.True, it's easy at times to go overboard with the snazz. I appreciate your words of advice. ^_^FWIW, I tried extracting the icon from the original logo and used it in place of the icon in my logo and the result was actually pretty decent. I still like mine better, but it was definitely usable and a little more minimalistic. EDIT: How do I attach images? I know there's the image tag, but that requires the image to be hosted someplace on the web. How do I upload stuff to My Media? Or is that feature disabled? Something that you may want to change is the "sign up" button. It's one of those things you probably missed because you were logged in. It is the original green still.Yep, I noticed that. I did forget about it because I was logged in. Then after I released it, I remembered that I hadn't checked the site from a guest's perspective and that's the first thing I noticed. The update has been applied to the style on userstyles.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowMage Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 ...How do I attach images?...Thanks to JSG, I can now attach files! So.... I tried extracting the icon from the original logo and used it in place of the icon in my logo and the result was actually pretty decent. I still like mine better, but it was definitely usable and a little more minimalistic.The "new" logo: What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinistorm Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Pretty decent but I think the logo will fit in better without the white gradient bg on the text. I really like how the avatars are looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The avatars are actually one of the things I'm most happy with. They turned out far better than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
