Quote:You want a darker HR? It used to be almost invisible, so I merely picked a color which happened to be this one. If you have a better suggestion (hex code) which looks better, give me a number. I'll take a look into it and change it.
I believe
#AAAAAA would look pretty well, considering it's pretty close to the forum text default colour. Of course there are many more alternatives throughout the entire greyscale like, say,
#888888. Even more, the opacity of the hr could just be tweaked slightly to make it look better. I guess the idea of a hr is not to make it visible but to have a way of clearly distinguishing parts of text. I was thinking of writing a tutorial on how to style posts nicely and I might come around to it in the near future.
Here are some examples:
background-color: #d3d3d3 - current
background-color: #aaaaaa
opacity: 0.7
Live examples:
Blue Blaze transmission -
current,
opacity: 0.3
Zenith transmission -
current,
opacity: 0.3
You can play around with it yourself, just open the style editor (F12), go to global.css, Ctrl+F for "hr" and change background-color and opacity.
Though of course, for ultimate justice I guess the best course of action would be giving the people decide on the colour, see
this.
Quote:4) Qué?
I guess I haven't elaborated on that anywhere since I thought it was pretty obvious, but I guess not. It's been something that should've been implemented ever since Blue Revolution was introduced, in my honest opinion.
The previous theme had an absolute width, I believe around 700-800px (?), while now the theme adapts to your screen resolution. And everything would be completely fine if it weren't for the indents. Nobody actually cared to switch the "px" to "%" on the indent bbcode and what that causes is when you indent a text very many times (I used to do that on Zettsu's tranmissions), on a
widescreen monitor everything would look perfectly fine, but there still are some people who use 4:3 and for them it would look like a barely readable
toilet paper strip.
Changing this is not rocket science per se, but I have no idea how exactly indents are implemented so I guess it'd have to be looked at by someone who knows.

Get out.
Quote:Well, other than cluttering up the drop down menus, it wouldn't actually make any difference. Fonts aren't stored on the forum, the request for their use is sent to the local PC. If you don't have that font, you get something similar from the same font-family. So as an example, the next serif font the computer can find instead of "Times New Roman".
Yes and no. I agree that it would maybe not be an ideal way of solving the issue of people using trash like Impact or Courier, but it would be positive for the overall workflow, as for the headers you could just highlight them, pick Agency as one of the fonts from the dropdown and have the entire thing already done. And would hopefully deter people from using Impact.
Quote:While we're suggesting improvements to tables, could I also suggest adding the table header [th] function, as well as col and rowspans, for more easily customised displays? Should be some plugins that can deal with all of it as a single installation.
Colspan and rowspan would make header redundant, so there's little reason for that. But yes, colspan, rowspan as well as column width (percentage) would be pretty useful. It's not really necessary to use a plugin, though it would probably be easier.
