GunChleoc Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Since the latest forum update, I find it hardy to read the breadcrumb links. Pastel on a shaded background just does not work. Not having any pastel writing at all would be even better. Is it possible to fix that without it being lots of work? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunChleoc Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 The bar is still there, it just that the background of the tabs has virtually the same color as the header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xan2622 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) 1. It would be interesting to be able to select another forum theme (a dark one) in our forum/profile preferences. 2. Has anyone ever tried to create an alternative forum theme with the Firefox/Chrome Stylus add-on ? Edited August 18, 2017 by xanax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely, it just doesn't seem to be all that urgent as you still can use the forum without easily reading the bread crumb links (+ I have been busy), so I have been postponing it. I should hopefully be able to look into this, and other things, during the next couple of days though. I am a bit uncertain whether or not there might be something that causes things to be different for different people. The breadcrumbs are gray to me, but they are mentioned to be pastel? Maybe it's because they are all marked as visited for me The text on the Create New Topic button on an existing topic is not high contrast no, but the one in a forum is easy to see, so again, nice to improve, but not urgent.

GunChleoc Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Thanks for agreeing to look into this I call anything that's almost white pastels, be it grey or not. I have a friend who can't access GitHub at all due to modern web design, because he can't see anything. So, it's one of my pet peeves A good tool to see if you have any contrast is to take a screenshot and convert it to greyscale. There is also a website that you can run things through, but the link is non my other computer, so I'll have to dig it up there. I am attaching some with everything that's hard to see or completely invisible to people with a slight vision impairment. Blue is for backgrounds that are almost indistinguishable from their backgrounds, e.g. it's hard to see that the tabs on top are tabs. I forgot to underline the SUBFORUMS header on this one: Edited August 18, 2017 by GunChleoc 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itms Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 It is easy for administrators to change all the colors of every element of the forums theme. Unfortunately I am no Web designer and I have very little clue on visual accessibility matters. What I can offer is, if there is an element where you think a specific color would be better, post here with the HTML code of the color and I'll make the change right away. You can also PM me if you think you are going to spam the topic too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I did try the other day to change things a bit, but I was unable to find the place for some of the link text, and the color of the number in the "speech bubble" in the image below is the same as is used in the title of the area, among other things, so it's hard to find a solution that works in all cases. So I had to revert some changes I made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xan2622 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Using the Stylus add-on, I have been able to create an alternative CSS forum theme. It's not perfect, not finished, but at least it features darker font colors and darker buttons/tabs. It might please @GunChleoc (well, I hope).  https://pastebin.com/pM09fkvn   1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
