Community CSS Overhaul

Community CSS Overhaul By James Kanjo on 1257951261|%e %b %Y|agohover, last edit by RobElliott on 1258029564|%e %b %Y, %H:%M|agohover Over the past couple of days, RobElliott has worked very hard to give the community site a massive CSS overhaul… check it out: Old New The old theme has been in use since the beginning of time itself (aka, the creation of Wikidot), and was long due for a revamp. Now the community site is visually appealing and thus more user friendly to look at. Please remember to thank Rob for his valued hard work! Remember, whilst you can only rate once, you can send thanks as many times as you want. The more thanks you send him, the happier he will feel :) Tags: community css rob Related Community Blog Posts The following posts have similar tags and may be related to this post.

Remember, whilst you can only rate once, you can send thanks as many times as you want. The more thanks you send him, the happier he will feel :) Hmm… I don't think he'll like it if someone sent him 20+ thanks and filled up his PM inbox! ;-) Sent two, nonetheless.. If you've got a copy of the old forum:start page anywhere(?) you should put up a comparison of that page as well. The blue headers look great! — Shane | CycloDS Revolution | CycloDS Compatibility Watch Avatar 3D. It is THE most spectacular film I've ever seen. It is really, genuinely EPIC. No DVD or even the regular version of the same movie can match this in 3D on the big screen.

I sent three!!! λ James Kanjo | blog | photos | contact RobElliott 1258027723|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover Thanks for the comments. I think it is not so much a radical overhaul as an incremental improvement to lighten and brighten the site a bit. There are lots of further improvements we can make to the design so do chip in with any ideas. James Kanjo 1258028190|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover I think it is not so much a radical overhaul as an incremental improvement Awww, you're very modest Rob! Just for that, I'm going to send you my thanks 5 more times :) λ James Kanjo | blog | photos | contact leiger 1258028502|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover Rob, if the mails are getting annoying… speak up :D I'm sending some more myself. It may be an "incremental improvement", but thanks for getting the ball rolling where no-one else could be bothered to! ;-) — Shane | CycloDS Revolution | CycloDS Compatibility Watch Avatar 3D.

RobElliott 1258029670|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover gerdami 1258061046|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover Well done, Rob. There are lots of further improvements we can make to the design so do chip in with any ideas. The level 2 "recent posts" in side menu, looks very strange since its font color is not in harmony with level 1 menu and also it's the only level 2 menu (but this has nothing to do with CSS). Indeed, menu items (left and top) should be revised, reordered. gerdami - Visit Handbook en Français - Rate this howto:import-simple-excel-tables-into-wikidot up! pieterh 1258051463|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover I've written a short news item on the new community CSS.

I do have one comment for improvement .. the shaded blue on the left hand side fades onto the text on the left column making it difficult to read. Re: Fantastic Job RobElliott 1258098564|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover The side bar fading into the background was a deliberate decision, but I do admit it causes an issue with the text when not hovered over. I'll look at this again. very well done, Rob scottplan 1258123375|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover I'm really impressed by how the community has really stepped up to offer a range of well-designed themes.

Re: New colo(u)r variations in sight... RobElliott 1262088911|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover The changes which are taking place today will introduce a different header colour, container colours and sidebar colours for each of the main categories. As this is being done on the live site there might be some strange visuals during the day while some of the colours are being tested.

Bertrand Russell RobElliott 1262113075|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover No problem Brunni, tomorrow I will create this category just for you. But first you will need to tell me what a mojito is! I think it's probably a small furry animal with horns and unusual teeth. Am I close? Hah! We've now warmed up: it's only -9C. Summer's on the way.

Bertrand Russell Brunhilda 1262115172|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover This is Barcelona beach chiringuito.

Bertrand Russell RobElliott 1262115898|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover I spent many years living in hot countries with beaches just like that. Pah, it's over-rated. Eventually you get tired of the sun, the cocktails and the scantily-clad women. You just long for the joys of digging the car out of a snowdrift and finding it won't start, of having to lie a frozen pet rabbit in front of the log fire to revive him because he got too cold last night, of frozen pipes that stop the washing machine working, of going to bed with a hot-water bottle and still being cold, of having a house built in 1890 that never gets warm unless every thing is turned up full and all the fires are on. Luxury! But you try telling the kids of today… Yeah right! gerdami 1262122537|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover Brunhilda, Hotlinking pictures is worse than borrowing pictures from the web: you are borrowing bandwidth as well. gerdami - Visit Handbook en Français - Rate this howto:import-simple-excel-tables-into-wikidot up!

Bertrand Russell RobElliott 1262120752|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover Hehe, earlier today the BBC Scotland website said: It was another night of freezing temperatures, with lows of -18C in parts of the Highlands. The runway at Inverness Airport was shut earlier because of snow and ice. It has reopened for arrivals and departures but is closed for all other flights. ¿Que? What other flights could there be? Edit: actually there is a sensible answer to that as the "circuits and bumps" for pilot training have been stopped. But it still made me laugh.
