I’d wager (no, that’s illegal here) that “master of none” is just demure and self-deprecatory. Very funny. It looks to me, you could teach millions of “script kiddies” more than just a thing or two!
And I still can’t get over how much more I like this new look now, than I did just a few minutes ago!
Thank you thank you thank you for the killfile feature.
I was so comfortable with Usenet, where I could simply choose never to see any particular userid’s writing, or any particular thread or subthread — just killfile them and never see them until I got curious again.
It made going online to accomplish anything really …. restful. If someone’s posts drove me crazy and I just had to hammer them — instead, I could do something more mature, and choose not to see what I couldn’t read with equanimity.
It’s a gift. Many thanks.
No offense to anyone to whom I seem to quit replying, if you imagine I killfiled you, it’s not about you — it’s about my peace of mind.
I’ve always — I hope, close anyhow — backed away rather than reply to anything that riled me up.
It’s how the rules here tell me to work with the site, and I really respect that.
Killfile helps me do that, automagically.
I want to use BLF in a way that keeps me peaceful. I can do that, if I work a bit at it.
Some of the links and quoted lines in the signature are in blue and very very small. My old eyes and bifocals have trouble distinguishing those, including your repository TK. I think it’s a combination of the shade of blue and the small size. prollyjustme
I also tried to make them more visible by giving links a black dropshadow, but it’s still a bit odd with blue. Human eyes have difficulty focusing on pure blue light.
How do you want it to look instead of the current appearance?
Also, as a side note, you don’t have to use the “after dark” theme in order to get the blacklist function. But if you do want to keep the “after dark” part, the code is all editable. Look for this part, and uncomment/edit the second line:
/* Make hyperlinks brighter, for DanielM */
/* color: #0094d9 !important; */
Additionally, to make signatures bigger, look for this part and change the font size:
/* signature at the end of each post */
div.clear {
/* display: none; */ /* in case you want no signatures at all */
margin: 6px 0 0 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
font-size: 80%; /* make the text smaller by default */
...
Just IMNERHO, but I absolutely LOVE the way hyperlinks work in this theme!! On my system, they change to White & quickly-but-gradually increase in apparent brightness, just like the CFLs I used to appreciate.
Just one of many wonderful features!!
I don’t even mind that the Search Results pages look really weird.
I updated the main theme file just now, with one tiny change:
Styled the new “Rude!” button. (actually, all “flag” actions)
I’m not sure about styling the rudeness meter on the left yet… haven’t seen it with a non-zero number. Then again, I think the feature only landed like ten minutes ago.
Ahhhh, that works. Text I had long since memorized no longer appears every time.
Now, to program my glasses to filter out certain billboards and t-shirts …. oh, wait, that’s science fiction ….
And nobody has invented not-hearing-aid filtering either, just yet.
TK, Which line do I edit to change the color of the “NEW” and “UPDATED” markers that show next to thread titles? It currently shows as deep red and I find it hard to see, probably due to my partial color blindness.
Ah, interesting. Those only appear in a part of the interface that I don’t use. Hadn’t even noticed those were there.
The “new” markers I configured are bold black text on a red shadow. Thin red text on a grey background was probably inherited from an earlier version a few years ago, before BLF’s code got updated.
Another question: product descriptions below images in the screenshot below are unreadable. They do become readable when I hover my mouse over them. How do I change that font color in your CSS?
Thanks!
