Changing colors? - Page 5

Meister · 10-31-2010, 07:55 AM

I'm 99% sure the gap between posts has been there all along and the background only makes it more visible. None of the changes we thought up even comes close to possibly having an effect on that. Either way, I agree, it's great to have it.

Yeah, it is (had some forum screenshots to check). Whoops.

I'm not entirely against leaving the background image in there for good. Once I figured out how to implement it anyways.

The orange might not jive well with the regular forum colors I guess, but it's at least thematically appropriate. Or...something.

Yeah thanks to Meister for directing to the correct stylesheet vars for replacement! Sorry if anyone got caught in the crossfire while I was testing the replacement colors, for a few minutes there things were horrifyingly ugly.

Like Meister.

You could find another image to tile that fits the color scheme. Maybe the same dark gray we had before, but with a faint, semi-transparent watercolor of 8-bit characters or Robo or something.

I thought it was new since I would have sworn that when I was reading DFM's Let's Play thread the other day, his giant images at the beginning were breaking the entire thread.

Must have mis-seen it.

I wonder if giant images in the first post will break a whole thread, but in a subsequent post they won't? Hmm.

It's worthy of further research, regardless.

Are you saying, "Please make a thread with a giant image in the first post?"

Also, I do like the background vaguely, because of how it makes the posts pop forward a bit more, but does it really have to be so... 90s-esque? A nicely tiled background with black and those reds/oranges would work just as well!

Red and gold. Silk. Chinese themed. Anyone who's anyone knows that.

(Mostly) back to normal, jerks! I like the BM image though. I am perfectly happy to replace it with something else though, and I will be posting a new thread to this end.

Well, the colored frames for the forum is back to normal, but we still got the Black Mage thing in the background. A wee bit disjarring.

Darn, ninja'ed.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
