Themes/Skins

This is going to have to wait until sisko comes back from vacation in a week - I can't even find/access the text for any of the blocks except the random SMACX quotes.  I'm in over my head on that.

It's a learning experience.

(and I for one really appreciate the effort you're making!)

[Buster's Uncle]

I have to learn this stuff - but it's not the end that I've traditionally held up in the division of labor with sisko.  I frankly wouldn't be that interested if he wasn't in a RL time-bind since they blocked the site at work for him.

So far I've tried Alienation, Enterprise, Pulse and Cadence and all of them have some issues. Usually fonts are too dark or quotes look too similar to normal texts. And some of them don't display well in Firefox. So I guess back to the original one for now.

We can't use Bitti. Most of the links to things like profile, help, etc. are invisible, and I found the way to my profile by accident.

The navigation bar is on the bottom of the screen, and it's just a nightmare.

Sorry.

Hit the back button on your browser when you're trapped in a theme...

Okay, I was poking around the server to find where things are, and I had an inspiration - I found out that a display icon I wanted to add went in a subfolder of the Default theme, and I tried copying all that stuff into the same folder for the Enterprise theme.  Some of the display problems should be fixed, like obviously, the RSS Feed icon displays beside the name of each board in the root directory, instead of a file missing icon, now.

I'm in the process of copying all the same stuff to all the other themes - it seemed to fix everything I'd spotted not working in Enterprise, but I count 59 themes, and it takes about a minute apiece...

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay, done.

Next, I go through all the smilies in the popup form that need cleaning up to not have light pixel outlines looking terrible in the dark background themes - none of which are my work; MY smilies, I am proud to have noticed, are more tightly-done...

This isn't going to all happen tonight.

BTW, any reactions to the new usergroup icons?  Nobody but Jarl has said anything...

[Valka]

I don't know what mine is supposed to represent, but I'm afraid of it...

[Buster's Uncle]

It's a lady Talent in SMACX; her hair is pulled back and she's wearing a headset.

I'll try the female worker, then.  Hold on...

[Buster's Uncle]

How's that?  Better?

[BU Admin]

Okay, I've finished cleaning up the smilies (except for two I've messed up, and I still need to make the lettering visible on the  ).  Enjoy.

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay, those are more or less fixed - I really need to find a fresh copy of  and start over, and  could use some fixing, too, but everything else looks pretty good.
