New style...Micro-ASFN

Chandler Mike · March 24th, 2004, 02:41 PM

For those with smaller monitors, or who just like smaller fonts (like me), I created a new style that sort of compacts everything.

You can choose it with the lower left drop down...

I'm going to be changing the icons on it...like the post buttons, new post icons, etc. But this is just a start. Look for it to evolve!

Yeah, it's small...but if you are at a 800x600 res, it's not bad. I'm on a 1280x1024 and I'm okay with it.

I just like fonts on the web small...they just look cooler than being all freaking huge.

Plus, this might be easier at work for some people...

I added two new buttons last night...New Thread, New Reply...close to the default buttons, but the color is in line with the Micro theme, and the font is different. Plus the buttons are more rectangle.

For the new post icons, I am thinking of simply a circle that is grayed out when there aren't any posts, and one that is sort of blue or green when there are new posts...

I love this theme, lol.

Added the Quote and Reply buttons...plus the New Posts/Old Posts icons on the main forum page...I like 'em!

Added thread icons...basically the same as the forum icons, but has the dots, orange for hot, light orange for hot read, etc.

Let me know what you guys think.

Now I'm screwed up....in the default format, the new posts are a lighter color & the old ones are dark.

Now the micro, the new ones are dark and the old ones are light.

How 'bout a sand color for new posts & the dark for old ones? Your eyes are drawn to the lighter colors.

my 2 cents...

Well, on the default board, the New Posts are yellow, the old posts are gray.

So basically, gray may be darker...but it's the lack of color that make a post "read" and the color that make it "un-read".

I could try something different than blue I guess...but it fits with the colors of the board.

OK...now there are like 5 different colors in the Cards board...blue, gray, yellow,...

I'm switching back to default

The way you have it now is really sharp. Don't listen to Kevin - he's still pissed you ditched him on the poker game.

5 different colors???

Blue for NEW, Gray for OLD, and that's it...

What am I missing?

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The orange...that is supposed to represent a HOT, NEW post...

I personally think the "hot" thread is pretty useless...how about I replace that orange with the blue, so all we have is Blue and Gray?

I think I may do that anyways...
