[2023-02-17] *OPTIONAL* traditional theme preview screenshots

Hmm, you’re right, the mobile styling was showing like a double line for the top border.
For now I moved that tweak into the desktop-browser-only overrides.

Basically that’s how it works as far as I understand, it reads the base theme CSS first and then it goes through my override CSS and those definitions override the base ones.

Looks good now on desktop. :+1:

Thanks! I’ll take another look at the mobile CSS a bit later, there’s a URL parameter /?mobile_view=1 to get the mobile version on a desktop browser for inspecting and testing the CSS more easily.

Where i can find this please !

sb56637 has already added this for desktop and I don’t believe there’s a Stylus browser plugin for mobile. You’ll just have to wait until this theme/tweak is applied to mobile (once it’s working correctly).

2 Thanks

Ah OK, thanks man !

Nice find!

Looks on mobile the horizontal line is in the article element inside the div.topic-post

.topic-post article {
    border-top: 2px solid var(--primary-low-mid);
}

Been a couple days since I visited and I can see already that some changes have been implemented…looks better/easier to read already. I think I like that proposed theme/format but I agree that the topic title should lead the way - could do without the category altogether (imo) but if present it should follow later (and as said, people most interested in the category should probably use the sidebar menu instead).

Having the topic title lead would also be a little easier visually, left-aligning the colored text of the links rather than scattering them across the lines. The colored bullet points…not a big fan but they don’t hurt anything I guess. Seems like one of those small details that adds to the visual busyness.

Thanks for all the work you are doing! I’m sure it must be exhausting even as much as you love it. Once it’s set we can leave it alone for another ten years, though, right? :slight_smile:

Very nice! Looks like that works beautifully when applied to the mobile CSS overrides. Thanks a ton, that would have taken me forever to find by myself.

I noticed a bit of an imperfection since applying some tweaks earlier this week to make the wider where the screen allows it, it looks like the --------- last visit ---------- red marker line must have a hard coded width or else it’s referencing a different width variable:

It also looks like the bottom divider line before the controls at the end of the post has a similar problem. But since it’s about the same length as the row of buttons at the end of the thread maybe it’s not a big deal:

Thanks so much for saying so! And yes, that’s exactly the goal! :smiley:

By the way, on my laptop there are no more lines between posts, but on my desktop, there are lines between each post. :thinking:

Hey there RC. Hmm, that’s weird. Did you check to make sure that it’s not some of the Stylus overrides that you applied that are now possibly redundant? Could you post a few screenshots? It should look like this:

I disabled the Stylus overrides, refreshed the page, and it’s still a problem.
Here’s a screenshot without the Stylus overrides.

Ah, that’s right, I need to check the dark theme too. But it’s still working fine for me on an un-customized Chromium browser:

Well, like I said, on my desktop the lines are there and on my laptop the lines aren’t there.
Both computers are using the dark theme, so it doesn’t make any sense. :upside_down_face:

Oh, I figured out the problem!
I forgot to disable “BLF After Dark” on my laptop, which I have installed through Tampermonkey. :man_facepalming:
Now everything is fine.
There are lines between posts on my laptop now! :smile:

Nice, thanks for confirming!

By the way, it looks better with the new thicker lines. :+1:

3 Thanks

I have to say I think it looks worse with the thicker lines. :-/ Maybe a bit too distracting.
Also the red “last visit” line looks kind of broken now (too short?).

I’ve been good with how it’s been rendering out of the box, however none of the changes since migration have been detrimental either.
