Oh right, I forgot that one: Rendering is poor on my end too, and my machine shouldnt have any problems with it.

Perhaps its about the mozilla-plugin and not to change?

I still have a little point though:
When I hover / mouse-over over any link in the signature area like a linked image, the whole image gets underlined, thus everything following up moves down a bit (few pixels). Is there a way to fix that?
I dont want to bother you, so I had a look at that code a bit, initially for the shiftings (yes, once again =P), but I wasnt really able to provide much help with it=/
Yeah, this underlining is in fact dotted 1px wide bottom border, I know how to fix the issue, will do later on.

For the shifting remove :
position:relative !important;
left:-30px !important;
(search in notepad or something)

Hey Induane ;) The rendering is a FF issue. FF has problems rendering tables, if there are a lot of them, especially if they are childs of another tables. Generally, tables in this forum are really overused. Divs would do just fine, but i didn't project this forum.
For me, when i scroll, the left collumn of the post table has a delay with updating its position, when i scroll, the Author collumn is all fine. I have no idea, which element of the style caused it, but there is probably nothing at all, what I can do to fix it. Better comp won't help, maybe FF 3.0 will. Or you are using 3.0 already, Induane?
I usually don't read while scrolling, so it is not a problem, at least for me, though little annoyance.

I have the default repo firefox and then ff3 in /opt for good fun.  The stylish extension isn't FF3 compatible yet though so I can't test the table rendering.

I have identified what was causing the scrolling glitches on the right side of posting tables.
If there are too many tables on the site and "fixed" elements, bad things happen while scrolling.
in this version position:fixed is absolute instead and the body background will no longer be visible when you scroll down.

Neeeeeat!

* I like the colors chosen for the section dividers, but I'm not too fond of that wave itself. Maybe it just repeats too often, but I find it distracting. Can you try something more subtle?
* The asterik for actions is definitely too big. Tone it down - it shouldn't dominate the post. The quotation marks can be scaled down -just a bit- too.
* On the profile page, the section titles are too large as well. I'd prefer a smaller font size, as well as a different color. The blue just looks out of place among brown, even with the wave behind it. Stick to yellow/tan schemes.
* The green graphic between posts looks super compressed. Is that just the screenshot, or how it actually looks? I'd prefer a slightly larger file size, but slightly better appearance, too.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

thx
  • the wave is for the sake of something different than a boring gradient. It is repeated a lot, so it does look repeative ;P Propose something more subtle.
  • People often place a line break before and after a meaction. So, the star is almost 3 line breaks high (including the meaction one) It's such a style. It isn't minimalistic. Although resizing down can give good effect, it won't be much.
  • Um, yeah, that may happen. Except, the whole menu will be almost exactly as wide, as i don't want the links below to be wrapped in 2 lines. The titles text can be as big, because the whole menu is small anyway, and making it smaller won't give any advantage as there is enough room in the table at the right anyway. And the forum will have green-blue elements, even if it will be brown-yellow overal ;P They are good for details, elements, which aren't present everywhere, but thx to different color, makes the forum less monotonic.
  • it is screenshot, saved in 256 colors, i missed that detail.

I really like the work you did, good job! I think I'll still use Karyuu's one though, this one is nice but a bit too chaotic for me.
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.

Not much has changed but a new version is available.
- bugtracker displays a bit better with the style ON
- new cursor for checkboxes.

Still waiting for someone to make new form icons.

Edit, just finished some additional bunch of changes.

Another update
