    It's not under the purview of Stylists, you'd have to ask alethiophile or tehelgee as it's up to their discretion.

    Got tired of looking at the way thread tags looked for the Light Responsive theme and changed them a bit.

    [​IMG]

    Changelog: Added following code to EXTRA.css
    Code:
    /* Tags */
    .tagList, .tagList li {
    	display: inline;
    }
    .tag {
    	background-color: @contentBackground;
    	border: 1px solid;
    	text-decoration: none !important;
    	border-radius: 4px;
    	padding-left: 4px;
    	padding-right: 4px;
    }
    .tag:hover {
    	color: @textCtrlText !important;
    	border: 1px solid @textCtrlText;
    	background-color: #bcbcbc;
    }
    If I ever figure out where it in the the proper template I may transfer the changes over.

    The blackend theme needs a change if possible.

    Are a blinding white and you can just barely read the text in them.

    Everything else seems to be fine except for that little flaw. I understand if it can't be changed though, just thought I should bring it up since I've been using said theme for awhile and the spoiler tags always irritated me.

    I'm on blackend not green and it's still blinding white. >.>

    It especially happens when you do a spoiler and click on preview.

    Both styles use the same spoilers, but how does it look for you now? OverReactionGuy

    Looks like you darkened it a bit. It's not blinding and I can read the text better. Seems to be better on my eyes too. So I say it's good, so thanks. :D

    Honestly I blame the fact that my eyes are rather sensitive to such things in the first place.

    If you have a quote box inside a spoiler box, you end up with black text on a dark grey background, which is almost unreadable:
    The solution, I think, is to add CSS to the quote box which sets the default text colour back to the same off-white as it is outside of spoilers.

    What Style are you using? There's way too many imo.

    Edit: Looking back up, I'll assume Blackened-Green for now.

    Yeah, still Blackened-Green. Though you should check at least the other Blackened themes; they likely have the same problem.

    Okay, the fix works, but the colour you set the text in the quote boxes to isn't the same one as the default colour outside of quote boxes - it's several shades lighter.

    Hmm...

    [​IMG]


    Well his subtitle is more correct -- he's shadowed af.

    EDIT: It is more legible, so yeah this is probably good enough.

    The issue is (and was) that the background and text are too close in luminosity, and the brighter background does help with contrast.

    So, what do you think needs changing? Because with my addition of the text-shadow, nothing in that image appears illegible to my eyes.

    It is a bit more legible now. Thanks!

    It's just not as clear as most of the other names.

    Do you have fine-grained control to change colors for specific themes? If so, maybe a brighter red to contrast the dark-gray background? Alternately. a darker shadow instead of a light shadow. (Or both.)

    It's really not a big deal, since those names are so infrequent.

    Testing.
    Code:
    .messageText {
    	font-size: 10pt;
    	font-family: sans-serif, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    	line-height: 1.4;
    }
    Seems good now.

    I'm not sure if it's just me or the style itself but... Flexile Dark seems to be unable to show dice rolls properly. No numbers appear in the box, it's just a big blue square.

    Could the color of the text and/or background on threadmark labels attached to threadmarked posts be changed in the Blackend styles? It's currently black text on a darkish grey background and hard to read.

    Also, you might want to change the grey background on those either way. While checking I noticed that the colored text on the threadmark labels in both Blackend-Blue and Blackend-Purple have bad contrast against it.

    Edit: Added example image.
