rev 840
(6 files, 22kb) (Wait, what... ONLY 22kb?!?! REFUND!!!)
* Changed menu animation to show it coming from below, rather than from above. (index.css, script.js)
* Many, MANY styling changes... Documenting them in order of appearance in the index file. Also please read the notes for suggestions. (index.css)
* Main font was changed from Verdana to Arial.
* Left and right borders are now black with a subtle gradient at the top. Main content padding was adjusted accordingly. (Also index.ie6.css)
! Fixed margin on first title header in sidebar.
! Fixed link color in sidebar for 'Unread posts' etc.
! Sidebar could be shown below other elements in some situations.
! Fixed details in the top section. (Also index.ie6.css, index.ie7.css)
+ Renamed $big_font to $head_font (font for bigger text like headers), and added $menu_font (menu font), for more flexibility.
* $head_font is set to PT Sans by default.
- No longer showing the Wedge logo in the upper header. The Wedge triangle in the footer is enough in my opinion.
- Removed orange lines in the header and footer (leaving them in .cat), and replaced them with grayish lines that are the exactly median color between the wine shades and white.
* Linktree color set to gray when not clickable, e.g. "Moderator" mention.
* Changed footer link colors and layout.
* An easter egg comment was actually wrong. Just rewatched this and fixed the quote. I think it's worth mentioning that I'm serious even about the stupid stuff.
* A slightly more readable legend for fieldsets in the admin homepage. Note: IE6 screws up the background in all situations. Ah well.
- Removed border from .wrc class, e.g. topic posts. Actually I just commented it out... Just in case.
* Reset text color in windowbg to #444 instead of pure black. It doesn't hurt readability, and with ClearType it really renders more smoothly.
* Changed windowbg color to light gray. Note: original was #f9f6f0. It MIGHT be better than the new one... Needs some testing.
* Input buttons now get a forced height, to compensate (a bit) for cross-browser inconsistency.
+ Added a subtle gradient to input buttons.
* Changed selected top menu items to be in the same rounded box than hover effects, instead of looking like they're connected to the bottom. This is due to inconsistencies in IE and Safari Mobile. And frankly it got old quickly anyway. Should be either made stronger, or removed entirely. Which I did.
* Forcing a height on menu items, because, once again, of browser inconsistency...
* Submenu are now vertically aligned with the top menu's gray bottom border. It's a detail but it's important.
* Changed selected top menu item background from orange to dark greenish. Subtle is the new black.
- No longer forcing smalltext classes to use the default font family.
* Changed background color for quotes, and chose alternating colors to match their parent windowbg.
* Moved post font definition to sections.css.
- Couldn't find a reason for overflow:auto to be applied to dd tags at this point.
* dfn tags now styled with default font.
! Renamed #rss to #feed. (Note: this is why it failed for you, Pete. I had yet to commit that.)
* Category headers now use Arial on links. (In case you have PT Sans installed. Which is unlikely. Oh well.)
* Extra padding for icons in category headers. I'm sure it'll fail in some browsers though... Been there done that.
* More changes on text styling in headers.
* Very subtle changes on mini-header styling (h6 tag) and button lists.
* Now going for the many changes in section.css, which is basically index.css for specific areas of Wedge. (sections.css)
* Board names in board index now use $head_font.
* Added proper padding around stats in the homepage sidebar. (Also index.ie6.css)
* Moderator links now use the default font.
* Restyled previous/next topic links. Still not happy though...
* Restyled #top_subject. This totally breaks the usual $head_font setting though...
* Ensure that topic titles (as reproduced in individual posts) get properly broken with a text ellipsis if the browser supports it.
* Now using display: table on the title/date/actions header in individual posts. This is totally gonna break some browsers... (Also index.ie6.css, index.ie7.css, index.ie8.css)
* Also using $head_font on user names now, in both posts and profiles.
* Forcing Verdana on user menu items. Again, it breaks the self-imposed standard, but I've gotten used to that one... Uh. Can be changed, after all.
* Moved Split Topic and Merge Posts buttons to the right of the action list. They should have been together from the beginning, even though they're not directly related. Also fixed horizontal icon alignments.
* Setting a maximum height and overflow on the smiley box, as promised.
