So yeah, I woke up at 1 PM yesterday and I've been coding various things VERGE related since about 4 PM yesterday. minus some lengthy conversations with Bob, that's almost a troy fu... well, it's a lot of work.

Not to be outdone, vecna has also been working his hind-end off in the last day or two. What can I say, it was a full moon and all the Were-Bens felt the urge to dust off their respective, mammoth codebases.

Anyways, as far as the site goes, you may notice that Neon Justice looks more consistant in general. This is due to about 15 hours of CSS grooming through the site to make it friendly for new themes (and ultimately easier to maintain for old ones). Techno Geisha and the rest of teh themes are a little under the weather, but it'll be a few days/weeks/eons before I feel the urge to open another css file... so hopefully Toen'd like to do it as it's really just a 30 minute task per template ;)

The more observant of you may've realized I switched the default theme to Bob's new Green Jelly. It's pretty, but there's still a few components left to go. Everyone should tell Bob how much he rocks, 'cuz he does.

Also of note is that there's some *limited* search capabilities on the site now. If I need to show you were, you're out of the community. Only forum and user search is in now (user search was always in, really, but out-of-the-way), and Docs and Files searching (the useful ones) will be in sometime in the next few days (for real). Unfortunatly, this unexplainable coding binge has put me behind the ball with my otherworldly projects, and slightly under the weather to boot.

In other news, the Magnificent Zip is back from his crazy Briton Adventures and is, as we speak, crafting Sully Simpletype's menu libraries. I've gotten up to the Jujube labs completed mapscripting wise, so we've got a few more days to go in that regard... but in true Sully fashion, there'll be more added to it than there was before. It'll be good to have those forward-steps again like back in the '90's, yo.


I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm super retardo-tired! So... yeah.

Oh yeah, I also added bunches of little usability features, but I also put up a lame beginner's page and the games, teams, and user's sections have a wee bit more useful content for the time being.

No really, I'm going to bed now.

Hee hee! Green Jelly is cute. That's an absolutely disgusting shade.

If by cute you mean horrible, then yep. Even my colour blindness isn't that bad.

Awesome work, Grue! I'm really impressed, even though it does mean that it will take sully complete a little longer to finish and than means that it will take sots longer to finish. Which is bad. :( How long are you gonna keep us waiting? Another seven years?!

Ditto, Atho, I still await your magnum opus.

He probably meant 'cute.' Therein lies the beautiful efficiency of language.

But seriously, I don't see the problem. The color fits the slime theme, if your concerns are aesthetic. If the color hurts your eyes, get them checked, or go outside. It's a midtone.



Either way, change your theme if you don't dig it. The layout ain't changing.

I must be missing something megatime, cause this theme is sexasmic.

I hear all this mention of themes, but I can't see any way to choose a different one (not that I have anything against this particular shade of green). Am I blind or do I just not see so good?

Posted on 2004-09-13 16:56:19

loretian

just don't see so good. ;)

edit: OK, I'll be helpful. There should be a "user control panel" link on the bottom bar and on the left. From there you can go to your profile, and edit your profile, and theme selection is the last drop down.

I do have to say that while I like Green Jelly, a more vergey theme would probably be better as a default.

What? Green Jelly just bleeds verge.

Silly Canadian.

Grue wanted me to help out and supply a new theme, mostly because there are things he wants to add and he needed a sidebar that could be resized quickly depending on the content and some other stuff. We talked about doing themes that hinted more at the fact that verge was for gamedev, and I suggested that I could do a whole set of layouts with each one based on a different Ultra Frequent RPG Monster. I have one drawn up based on the little firebomb things as well, and I was maybe going to do like a wizard or something. I'd use the same graphics, just altered in color and tone, with a different header and a different 'verge-rpg' text (and of course different page/text colors), but otherwise they're the same. So it's like a matching theme set.

So, the goal wasn't to replace toen's default. I think he just set it to default so everyone could check it out (he was understandably excited after working for as long as he claimed, plus the whole day before that, on vrpg layout stuffs), and then it would go to being whatever.

Out of curiosity though, what doesn't seem vergey about it? I didn't put the v3 circle logo on there I know. Or is the goofy slime and color just too kiddyish?
