Difference being, SMF2 was done in less than a year, then the devs left and it stayed untouched (or barely) for years before going gold...
We've been on Wedge for a year, and we're not planning to leave before it goes gold... Heck, we're not planning to leave at all :P
Additionally, and yes I know you were joking, but I'm pretty proud of all the things we did so far with Wedge... Even though it's not out, much of the code we wrote this year has yet to find equivalents in the competition (or even non-competitor projects). I mean, if you ask me "what's the best possible menu code?", I'll tell you Wedge's. If you ask me, "do you know of a good CSS pre-processor in PHP?", the only answer is Wedge. If you go "I want a nice short and full-featured select box improvement", I'll go for my version of SB... And same for Pete's work. Haven't seen much happen in the SMF front in the last couple of years, I'm afraid!

rev 1203
(1 file, 2kb) (now that's not 2kb, it's barely 10 lines of code... I'd love to know what size this is supposed to represent.)
! I actually committed the 2530+ byte version of sbox.js, not the 2585 byte version with the extra-styling-that-I-don't-know-what-it's-for-yet. (sbox.js)
! Inverted two variables at the last minute... (sbox.js)

That's a plugin even I could use for non-plugin reasons... :P
Which reminds me, you still need to write an UI for checking/modifying the bbcode table ;)

RTD had character development? :P
To be honest though, I'd be curious to see whether Moffat could reinvent himself outside of his own personal Who universe (i.e. the Ponds and the Angels), although on the other hand I can't complain that they exist :P

Well, you don't have to feel sorry for anything, on the contrary I'd much rather get negative feedback than no feedback at all... :whistle:
Anyway -- I understand about the colors, but the font choice?
Which brings me to this: the font you point out is DIN OT, a big classic of 20th century typography. It is, however, customized by myself. The 'w' is narrower than in the original and the 'g' is stretched vertically to match the size of the 'd' ring.
The font in the current test version is part of the humanist family, like Segoe UI or the older Frutiger. They all tend to look like each other after a while ;)

rev 1202
(2 files, 8kb)
+ Restored support for custom styling of drop-up select boxes. (sbox.js, index.css)
* And yet, the script file is now even shorter... 2585 bytes -- was 2696. Every byte saved is a victory, at this point. I pretty much cut the Proto object in half and removed the ability to set or get variables, and anything that the select box object actually doesn't need at all. Now it's pretty simple: either .sb() is empty, meaning you create a default select box, or it has an object as a param (where you specify your custom options), or a string, meaning it's a function to execute after creating the object, eg .sb('refresh'). It doesn't get any simpler. No other features were removed -- just tested dozens of ways to optimize gzipping, including code permutations, and kept everything that worked. (sbox.js)
* Renamed the fixedWidth option to fixed. I told you, every single byte... (sbox.js)
@ Note: removing ARIA features would save about 130 bytes. I'm not sure it's worth it. Removing the hardcoded 'position' and 'visibility' styles, which I can't seem to find a browser that will make use of, would save another 50 bytes. Thus, I... think the 2500 byte limit can be reached, but it's pretty pointless, I suppose. Heck, I'm startin to wonder if I shouldn't take the 3KB alternative selectbox plugin and try to reduce it to 2KB or less... ;)

All as expected, and all good!
Not that I have anything against the Ponds, of course. Love them. But I have a feeling that Moffat will find new interesting characters to develop!

rev 1201
(5 files, 6kb)
! WeCSS's custom 'gradient' property should now work properly in IE when using short-form RGB codes (#fff etc.) (Class-CSS.php, index.css)
* Bored with the italics... Replaced mini-logos with new ones. (minilogo.png, minilogow.png, index.css, Warm/index.css)

Posted a few new logo tests on the previous page yesterday... Meh, black text doesn't look good in large size -- only in small size. Anyway, my 'favorite' out of my recent tries is currently shown when hovering the website's logo in the sidebar. You can also see a small size version in my signature.
Any opinions?
