BLF After Dark, CSS theme [not relevant anymore]

I didn’t know how much I needed this till I saw this. HUGE improvement!

Many Thanks!

This is awesome, thanks TK for everything (including turning me into a linux convert!)

I did what?




Small update:

  • Minor color changes on quotes.
  • Styled <pre> tags, which were missed before.

Separately-installable style published to limit quote nesting depth.

Also, a couple other separately-installable styles added to get rid of other page elements, but not published on userstyles.org (only on tk.net). They remove stuff which shouldn’t be removed, like the search widget or some other things, so they’re not included by default or as easy to install.

The day that the forum was down we chatted about which linux distro would work on my netbook, got linux mint installed and flashed my first drivers from linux last night…i owe you much gratitude (and drinks!)

perhaps i should try this instead of windows on an old laptop, i was going to start a thread asking if there is a legitimate windows 7 iso since i have the sticker on the bottom with the serial number but no install disk

dual boot would probably be best though

finally i use it.its better i have to say…only one thing i lost,but its after the server upgrade-i lost notifications about my pm and threads….cant found how to change it back…

I was mostly teasing, but I’m glad to hear that it worked and you’re able to flash drivers. :slight_smile:

You might want to check the thread about that… (upgrade-related issues)

Teasing or not, i like it (and XFCE) better than the other flavors of stock ubuntu. But getting back on track, this dark theme is LEGIT!

Thanks, looks great!

hm…iam mad,but i dont know how to get again my email notifications….what i do wrong?

That is completely unrelated to the dark theme and unrelated to anything you did. The problem is that BLF itself got a major back-end upgrade and the email notification feature doesn’t work yet. Subscribe to this thread for updates about that issue:

Another update today…

  • Updated avatar decoration in both forum posts and private messages.
  • Aligned avatars closer to private messages.
  • Tidied up widget showing someone’s profile summary.
  • Fixed missing number bullets on ordered lists.
  • Made “Mark as Spam” look like a button, but still distinct from the other post buttons to avoid hitting it by accident.
  • Moved pager into the same row as the rest of the top bar, when there’s room.

thanks great maybe you can make the search function also usable in this forum the software is really retro

Thanks for the .css file TK. I wouldn’t change the .css to accommodate this list. That sort of list isn’t used that much and most people would only read it once or skip over it anyway.

Is this still the right way to enable toggling this on and off? ’oogled and found a fairly old method:

Er, there are at least three ways to search now and they all work pretty well:

  • “Search within thread” at the top of each thread, if you know the thread you’re looking for.
  • “My threads” and “My posts” for each user, if you know which user you’re looking for.
  • Google “site:budgetlightforum.com my search terms” to search the entire site (which IIRC is what the main search box does).

I have no idea; I haven’t tried to do it with a hotkey. It’s usually pretty straightforward to just turn the extension on and off, or use the extension’s config interface to turn the theme on and off.

Oh (duh); yeah now that I installed it, in FF, I have “/User Styles” offered under /Tools/Add-ons/ —- and as yours is the only User Style there, it’s a mere 3 clicks.
