The "NEW" button in the list of unread threads and the action buttons in forums (NEW TOPIC / NEW POLL / NOTIFY / MARK READ) have an orange or dark blue transparent image in their "active" state, but on top of a white rectangle, which is in contrast to the dark brown or black backgrounds of the body and tables. That makes white corners peek through the buttons.
Star medals and poll bars are similar: Rendered for use on bright background colors.

this is a serious issue afflicting phones, little monitors, little windows and probably also 4:3

Yes, got the same problem in Firefox on a Meego handset (login text field was half hidden).

I used to like checking the forums on my ipod, now if some things cant be seen its a bit of a pain. >:(

Bookmark these links and you might be ok. The login link puts the input fields in the middle of the page, the other two are useful to get at new comments, although unread replies seems a bit redundant.

Yes, when I did the upgrade the old theme did not work at all so what I had to do was install a new theme and make it more "PlaneShifty". However, there are still some artifacts left over from that so will try to clean those up as we find them.

Hmm, I see. Well, what we can probably try there is putting that information on the left and shifting the logo image over a bit. I will see how that looks.
-
while there kill the possibility to use little fonts (or i will start deleting all the posts featuring them)
-
For somereason now, every now and again the toolbar/menu bar changes to a bright white and then back once i refreash.
-
Hm, shame to see the forum skin go nuts like this.
And as it has changed html structure, my userstyle doesnt work right anymore too.
My announcement:
Because i'm doing webdevelopment for a living, I can do this forum template look same way as the planeshift webpage style, compatible with modern browsers, but excluding IE6 and lower
with possible enchancements
and some other layout options not associated with colors
I do need access to the css file tho and interface for uploading images
Otherwise it's too much hassle, so its a call of our forum admins.
-
Having "Show unread posts since last visit." and "Show new replies to your posts" on the very right became really hardly usable now on a wide monitor. It was much better when they were on the left, closer to all other forum menus.
-
It ought to be relatively easy to just stick them in the menu bar or just above the location breakdown links:
PlaneShift » Support » Forum and Website Discussions » Little issues with the new forum theme
-
Remember, manipulating forum styles may not be as easy as it looks, you never know if they break with the next forum software update if you changed them too custom...
-
From what i see after this softwareupdate, it breaks at every update heheh

You should be able to find the css file here: http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/Themes/eazyblue_20g/css/index.css
I only made a very minor couple changes to the actual board php files so any changes could probably be done in the .css itself. I was using Chrome to "Inspect" the elements that I wanted to change and finding their tags in the .css file to change around.
-
The change at the top is much better now. Thanks

Sadly, for me, the leftmost login is somewhat covered by the graphic. It is still usable but kind of ugly. This is, of course, because my eyes prefer larger fonts for less strain but it could be fixed if the graphic was not statically positioned but rather centered -- as I view it from a 24" wide screen monitor. Perhaps the best approach would be to create a separate skin strictly for small screens and not try to accommodate both types of displays with one skin. What you started with was pretty good for a default. It likely wouldn't take much to duplicate the skin folder with the -small appended to get a new skin.

It's covered also with a standard size. actually now the more wide is the window the more the cp goes under the picture
-
there is no link anywhere on the forum site to the planeshift homepage. can that be added back in?

Yes i agree, i would like it added again.

A possible fix might be to have the graphic as the background of the header bar instead of in a separate div beside the login div. It could be centered and the login could be raised in the z-plane over top it. In some clients the login form would be completely within the graphic but closer to the user and in wide screens like mine it would be completely outside the graphic.
Still, I'd have to look at the complete skin to be sure exactly what is possible, looking only at the page source is misleading as a bunch of different elements are thrown together programmatically.
-
i'd rather have the picture rescale in lower sizes instead
-
That could be fairly easily accomplished, I think, using the GD graphics libraries, or even just by javascript determination of the browser dimensions and substitution of the gif, png or jpg whichever it is.
Still, having a dedicated skin for phones would be good.

hm, i have send a pm, marked it for being saved...and it didn't
I wonder if it was even sent ;]
Of course to Acraig :)
Acraig, let me know!
as about the logo image overlaying something else, that's easly fixed with z-index.

Ok, I will see what I can setup there ( details in the PM ). The themes are actually not that complicated to setup and use and I just took the first one I could find and make it "PlaneShift" like. You might want to check out the SMF website to see if there are other themes that might have a good look and feel as well and we can offer some more theme options.
