[Bugs + Suggestions]: "The NEW Board Upgrade"

[TrustFire]

Yeah I'm lost on that one, the only icons specified to be that colour are unread.

dl.icon.forum_unread:before, dl.icon.forum_unread_subforum:before, dl.icon.forum_unread_locked:before, dl.icon.sticky_unread:before, dl.icon.sticky_unread_mine:before, dl.icon.sticky_unread_locked:before, dl.icon.sticky_unread_locked_mine:before, dl.icon.topic_unread:before, dl.icon.topic_unread_mine:before, dl.icon.topic_unread_locked:before, dl.icon.topic_unread_locked_mine:before, dl.icon.pm_unread:before {
content: "?";
color : #f44336;
}

Just got it all figured out:

Selectors for Read (Announcements) Icons:—

• Code: Select all

  dl.icon[class="icon announce_read"]:before
  dl.icon[class="icon global_read_locked"]:before

Lighter Color for Read (Announcements) Icons:—

• Code: Select all

  hsla(220, 10%, 40%, 1)

Selector for Unread (Announcements) Icons:—

• Code: Select all

  dl.icon[class="icon announce_unread"]:before

Darker Color for Unread (Announcements) Icons:—

• Code: Select all

  hsla(210, 18%, 26%, 1)

Any issues with the notifications being coloured this way, I prefer the darker being unread.

Fixed icon and colour for PMs, not yet addressed consistency.

Have managed to fix most of the issues with icon colors at the Forums and PM — however, after having kept those colors consistent with the Board theme, I'm (myself) having a tough time (even, on a tightly calibrated HD screen,) discerning between Read and Unread states of the icon.

Only issue I have is this: What took you so long?????

[rusticdog]

Well, my CSS utter sucks so small changes I make tend to break 4 others
Should have fixed some of the colour issues, had some bad comma placement which broke a couple of things.

One alternative was animation — however, that option would hog resources on a Celeron processor (especially, when the User visited the site after a long time and encountered various forums in different categories, animating away to glory.)

Read_Forum_Icons__(BEFORE).png
Read_Forum_Icons__(AFTER).png

From my POV there isn't enough contrast between the Read/UnRead Colors to be noticeable at a reasonably quick glance. If the User doesn't take a good solid look (requiring a little time to pass) at the icons, they'll just think they're the same color.

COLOR CONTRAST is the name of the game!!! And the Board Theme just doesn't supply enough especially given the Gray Primary Color.

Not sure whether you've flagged those icons correctly or not but won't dispute it since I haven't been able to figure them out either.

What I can say is: If you're right then there IS an inconsistency and "Yes" it needs to be fixed.

Only broke "4" others????? That's a better production average than I'd have!!!! Mine would have broken the Inet!

Clicking the Site Identity Box on the Firetrust FavIcon will pop open the Firefox permissions window, before you.
