For those interested in Styling the site ...

[mike]

I don't think a picture of a stray cat does much for style.

There are no "strays."
The cats in the header pic have been with me for over 10 years.

Want a different header pic?
Post it up if you are able.

Else, just sit on the sidelines being far too incompetent to grasp the concept and provide nothing more than "Nanny-nanny-boo-boo" type posts (of which I'm surprised you can even muster).

[mike]

BTW, the GreaseMonkey Script for the additional forum smileys is here (for those interested).
Let me know if you need assistance installing it.

[O Really]

Yo, Mike -
I logged in this morning, and when I clicked on this thread, I got a different screen presentation. Instead of the generic white/blue, I got 50 shades of gray. Index page still looks the same, but each thread now has the gray. Did I accidentally click "accept" or "install" or something for your styling selection? If so, how do I get my generic screen back?

Nevermind. I found "board preferences." Somehow mine got changed all by itself. All better now.

Oops my bad, I think I did that. I'm working on a new style and I changed the default.

[bannination]

I've also added a new theme in the user control panel that I am particularly fond of.

Check it out. Look for Artodia: Deluxe

[mike]

Thanks for moving this thread here, Banni.

Also, thanks for the options on a theme.

I'll stick with the default because I'd only make the new theme look like the one I've already done.

[mike]

For those still using the default theme, I've added lots of stuff.

No, I haven't changed the header pic, but, as I've mentioned, I will create a custom header pic for anyone desiring such.

My thanks to the members who have checked it out and understand what it is.

You are smarter than the Luddites and I appreciate that.

[mike]

More refinements (specially in the preview your post section).

Again, thanks to all who are giving it a look even if you're not using it.

[mike]

Style has been updated, many times. Added stuff for the Conservative forum ...

[mike]

I had to get my mind distracted for a bit, this evening, so I updated a few areas I messed up with the last update (sorry about that ).

My heartfelt thanks to anyone who might be testing this.

[VenDaz]

A slightly modified look.

Nice, VenDaz!

I'd like to know how you styled the General Discussions page with separation and border radius on the tbody > tr selectors.
I've been trying to do that for what seems like forever.
Care to share?

[mike]

*bump*

This should be all you need Mike, the rest of my code was just to show an example of table styling for anyone testing your style.

Code: Select all

tr { display: table;  border-radius:10px!important;}    /* this makes table borders/margins work */
td.forumdetails {width:200px!important;} /* lines up cells, adjust px as needed */

I'm impressed with the detail you've incorporated into your style. Nice work!

Thank you, and, also, thank you for the tip ... you're awesome!



EDIT: Updated screen cap.

[mike]

VenDaz ... if you can figure out how to Style the item I have circled in red ... I'd appreciate it.

Nice changes to the #nav selectors !

This is inherited from html,body so any Styling is going to affect other areas, but the following sorta works:

Code: Select all

body{color:white!important;text-shadow: -2px 0 2px black, 0 2px 2px black, 2px 0 2px black, 0 -2px 2px black!important;} 

.vtcontent,span,div.vtprofilepanel,div.statspanel,h3,dd,.post:target .content ,.postbody .content {text-shadow: none!important;} /*add selectors as needed */

div.statspanel {color:black!important;}  /*add selectors as needed*/

Edit: The tr code messed up the member list, so may not be worth keeping.

I just accidentally discovered that you can do multiples of the font size increase and have it work. I think that 8 times "size=200" is the limit, the letters don't seem to get larger after that. The word below is "test".

Holy crap, I bet that's a bug and not an intended feature LOL.
