Could you please limit the CSS to only the thread it's celebrating? Sometimes it makes the catalog unreadable and I'd rather not hide a thread that's being celebrated.
No.10414
>>10413I usually do that for the possibly disruptive stuff on /qa/, but /jp/ is supposed to be a bit randomly chaotic and I'd prefer not restricting people (or myself) from messing with it now and then, within reason. I don't like the idea of compartmentalizing CSS within a thread, however, as it's approaching the "condense your threads" 'general' attitude that I greatly loathe. If something really cool happens then all of kissu should be really cool for the day, not the "cool thing happened" thread. To me, ideally, there would be 20 "really cool thing happened" threads and I wouldn't have enough time to customize them all as it engulfs everything. But, back to practicality:
/jp/ antics do bleed into /all/, but people can choose to hide boards or individual threads from it if they desire. Something I never meant to do, but is a cool side effect, is that the Lala theme highlights CSS-enabled posts with yellow text:
>>>/jp/38676I did envision a possible "No Fun" toggle to disable CSS events, but I mostly follow pre-existing CSS guides and don't actually understand how that would work. It'd be up to vern to create it and I don't think it's important enough to spend time on.
I don't suppose you have any saved screenshots from that issue you mention? I usually give stuff 50% opacity to at least lessen the problems like that. I'd rather design things around that then restrict things inside threads. Maybe there's some "disable in catalog view" CSS trick I'm missing
No.10415
Now that I think about it, if I embed the CSS in the bottom reply of a thread it shouldn't appear in catalog mode, but I'm not sure if I want catalog mode to be barren like that
No.10420
>>10418that's pretty nice
No.10421
>>10418I'll add this to my customCSS. I think there are a few things to look out for such as how it looks with the various highlight modes.
No.10424
Is pinning the special thread to the top of the page/catalog not an option?
No.10427
>>10424The CSS-containing threads? Eh, I've tried to refrain from doing any stickies for dumb stuff. I want it to fall off naturally if possible, only to return if someone happens to bump it for whatever reason.
I don't think a sticky would have any benefit when it comes to the code if that's what you meant. CSS loads from top to bottom, in fact.
No.10428
>>10427I mean as in a temporary sticky, for a day.
No.10429
>>10428Yeah, it's definitely something I could do, but I haven't really felt like doing it lately. I think the last time I made one was, hmm... probably Kissu's 3rd or even 2nd birthday? If someone has a great idea for one, though, we could do it
No.10448
>>10447someone once told me they'd use the kissu-ui if it had a Tomorow theme. They made it for our vichan-ui, but I never adapted it over
No.10449
>>10448Hmm, New UI's Luna theme seems really close to it, but I guess it's not exactly the same.
I'm not sure if I can justify adding a slot for that on its own, but if people like very dark themes then I could try to make one with my own twist on things with Tomorrow as the base.
No.10450
>>10449Just an idea. There are some of the standard themes like photon and tomorow which are staples of 4chan's UI.
I'd tend to say no to more dark themes(we have 4 of them), but running the markup on light themes is a bit of a hassle anyways... Maybe more light themes, but I wouldn't object to more dark ones
No.10451
another thing is that I don't like what I did with kissu.css, our only light theme... so there's even room for correcting mistakes...
But these are the very dry themes that aren't very colorful and(perhaps) not very fun
No.10452
>>10451Yeah, I think at least 90% of people prefer simple color themes, but they're so boring to make. Web 2.0 and its white and grey banality is just so depressing to me.
I will definitely take a look at 'kissu', though. I think that wouldn't be much work to improve in a boring manner.
No.10455
I would like to have a good light theme on Kissu though so if you have any thematic ideas it would be nice if it isn't done with dark colors
No.10456
>>10455Yeah, I'm thinking a light theme is a good idea.
>>10453 seems like a good starting point, the sakura thing is pretty popular and there's many, many examples to draw from.
I swear I've seen a similar theme for something in the past couple years that I really liked, but I can't remember what it was for. It might have even just been one of those fancy graphics for someone's doujin song
No.10459
>>10458Ah, and I don't mean the color, but the gradient effect. Is it too distracting, or does it look nice?
No.10462
>>10460Oh, the OP text is a side effect of messing with the OP text color with rainbow background. Definitely not designed with the Lala rainbow text in mind. (which is a weird transparent text + background fill property) It's not something that will be a part of any theme. I'm just asking about the top part of the reply box that's pink, completely in isolation from everything else.
No.10463
>>10461
>the top part of the reply box that's pink
I think it looks best with Hazuki, little less with Kissu, a little distracting/out of place with Luna and Lala, and no pink top for Nekomimi.
>in isolation
I don't know how to judge that. I guess just the top bar itself is nice to look at.
No.10464
yeah. it's an improvement to the purple theme
No.10465
>>10460Yeah, I can't really get behind how out of place the OP color block looks

... and if you want to change the colours as well then this image should set the mood for what sort of colours to pick
No.10481
>>10480Oh, but if you provide a lot of info like that I could get around to assembling a theme around it. I'd need feedback and ideas from you, though. A good pastel theme sounds nice
No.10482
>>10480Here
>>>/jp/39635>>10481Cool I can be around for feedback and stuff
No.10483
Added! Thanks!
The way I add images to replies is somehow canceling out the reply boxes on Lala theme so that's something I'll need to look at later...

>>10483Thanks, kissu is awesome!

I think I'll make this thread the place where I credit the artists of the stuff I use.

>>10541Nice. I tried to keep some space on the right side so mascots didn't block everything.
I'll list the artists later, but I'm too lazy and tired right now. Uhh, the flanfly artist is named something like Yamato which makes it annoying to track down, but the others are simple. Gotta find those bookmarks...
