BLF After Dark, CSS theme [not relevant anymore]

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.

Shes a pretty one! I like the theme it looks like a old school forum :smiley:

Ooooh nice! Have the lastest.css installed…very very nice

Old school indeed. My personal web site looks like a refugee from Geocities. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

FWIW, it seems easiest to manage by using the Stylish extension’s “userstyles.org” repository. Now that I have that all set up, anyway, updates are only a couple clicks.

Yup…added the userstyles.org tab…then copied your “global” affecting .css into a style specifically for budget light forum…so now it only affects this one website rather than all of them…it appears all it added was

@namespace url(XHTML namespace);

@-moz-document domain(“budgetlightforum.com”) {

to the front of it…everything else was straight copy/paste from your already made style

Very awesome TK!!!

or after simply clicking the tab, clicking find styles for this site, and clicking BLF After Dark BudgetLightForum dark theme by ToyKeeper and clicking install….duh, had me a smack my forhead coulda had a V8 moment just then

So awesome TK…so simple you are incredible!

Hi, a small update.

If there’s anyone whose posts you don’t want to see, it’s pretty easy to hide what they write. Add this to a custom style for each person on your personal blacklist:

/* block John Doe */
div.posted-by-54321 div.forum-post-content {
    display: none !important;
}
div.posted-by-54321 div.forum-post-info {
    background: linear-gradient(#b34, #512) !important;
}

Replace the “54321” with the numeric ID of the account, like the last part of the URL after clicking someone’s name. It’ll hide what they wrote and change the color of the post header to red. You can still see what they said by clicking the ‘quote’ button though, or viewing in another browser or incognito window.
