    I've been off work for the last couple of weeks and have been playing around with theming the site.. I don't like the default skin and I really dislike the dark skin. Like all web-devs, I like when people use something I've made so I'm sharing them. There are quite a lot of changes to the site overall.. Not just colours.
    For now, it's just two dark modes. Dark purple and dark blue. I'll add two clear themes later this week, or you can find them in the Feedback "Skins" thread and install them yourself.


    :)


    Thanks very much for this.

    What if you collect our personal details from this script... and then before we know it, we're kidnapped and we wake up drugged and lying in a warm bathtub, having our organs harvested for sale on the south american medical black market?

    It does happen! :D

    Jesus. I definitely couldn't go through that again. Once was enough after getting those 6 'free' CDs in '97

    It's stickied. Why are you trying to bump it?

    Bored and saw the link in my signature. No posts in two months. Not particularly excessive.


  • Posts: 17,381 Charleigh Most Quadrangle


    alright not bad

    Hope you got paid well for your new design?

    Why would I get paid for that. It's not for them.

    What information do you get if someone uses them?

    The extension is the problem, full tracking across all your browsing.

    Stylus is a Stylish fork without analytics

    And here's their privacy policy

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne
    Privacy Policy

    Unlike other similar extensions, we don't find you to be all that interesting. Your questionable browsing history should remain between you and the NSA. Stylus collects nothing. Period.

    It took a while but I don't mind. How does my body look in this light?

    We can unsticky this thread...



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,767 ✭✭✭Scotty #


    This thread is more important than ever what with the new horrendous CSS styling on Boards, on desktop anyway.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,767 ✭✭✭Scotty #


    First thing you need to add is...


    .postbit-posttools, .postbit-userinfo {
      max-width: 195px;
      overflow: hidden;
    }

    A lot of users who forget to disable my theme are going to have a bad time. When applied to the new site, it breaks loads of buttons. Although not that many people used this anyways I don't think.

    I might redo it for the new site but can't do anything until boards.ie are finished with their theming.



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,318 ✭✭✭✭MEGA BRO WOLF 5000


    At that point youd be dead so i wouldn't worry about it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,125 ✭✭✭mistersifter


    had no idea about this and never disabled the theme! Is this why the new site isnt working? Which buttons does it affect?

    Hopefully the dark theme can be brought back at some stage anyway cos Im struggling to look at the site now.

    Check if your browser has a dark mode. I use it on Firefox, works on nearly all sites.

    Not your ornery onager

    Anyone still using Stylebot, adding the following will tidy things up a little on desktop. It get's rid of the ad column on the right and stretches the post over to fill the space and also narrows the user column on the left.

    .postbit-postdetails .postbit-postbody {
        margin-left: 198px;
    }
    
    .Panel.Panel-main {
        display: none;
    }
    
    .Content.MainContent {
        width: 100%;
    }
    


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,767 ✭✭✭Scotty #


    A few more upgrades...

    It now also makes the whole header 'sticky' including the breadcrumbs. Twitter and Facebook icons removed also.

    Note: these changes are liable to stop working at any time if Boards/Vanilla make changes.


    .postbit-postdetails .postbit-postbody {
        margin-left: 220px;
    }
    
    
    .Panel.Panel-main {
        display: none;
    }
    
    
    .Content.MainContent {
        width: 100%;
    }
    
    
    /*Remove Twitter/Facebook buttons */
    .ReactSprite {
        display: none;
    }
    
    /* Make whole header sticky  */
    .BreadcrumbsBox { 
      position: fixed;
      top: 47px;
    }
    
    
    .Breadcrumbs {
      margin-bottom: 0;
      margin-top: 25px;
    }
    
    
    .vanilla-1tbhbgw-titleBar-container {
    position: fixed;
    height:auto;
    }
    
    
    .Frame-content {
        margin-top: 90px;
    }

  • Registered Users Posts: 11,739 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    need a bit more instructions on how to use stylus



  • Posts: 17,381 Charleigh Most Quadrangle


    This is for the old site. I'm still making one for the new site.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,739 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    yeah i know that but its so hard to find threads these days. can you link to the newer thread and get a mod to de-sticky this one?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,177 ✭✭✭Neowise


    assuiming you have stylus installed.

    open boards site.

    click stylus

    hover over write style for and click when www.boards.ie is black and this url is grey


    when text box appears, copy the code into it, click save and go back to boards.

    this is example code which works for me as of now.

    themeHeader {
        display: none !important;
    }
    .Frame-content, .Breadcrumbs {
        margin-top: 0 !important;
        margin-bottom: 0 !important;
    }
    [class^="vanilla-"][class$="-container-fullGutter-container-fullGutter-container-fullGutter"], .Breadcrumbs {
        max-width: unset !important;
        padding-left: 15px !important;
        padding-right: 15px !important;
    }
    .Container {
        max-width: none !important;
        padding-left: 15px !important;
        padding-right: 15px !important;
    }
    
    /* threads */
    .postbit-message, .Message.userContent {
        padding: 0px !important;
        margin: 0px !important;
    }
    .postbit-message {
        padding-left: 10px !important;
        padding-right: 10px !important;
    }
    .postbit-message ~ br {
        display: none !important;
    }
    .postbit-userinfo br {
        display: none !important;
    }
    .postbit-userinfo {
        padding-top: 8px !important;
        height: 100% !important;
    }
    .ItemComment::after, .ItemComment::before, .MessageList::before, .MessageList::after {
        display: none !important;
    }
    .MessageList {
        margin-bottom: 0 !important;
    }
    .embedExternal {
        margin: 0 !important;
        width: 100% !important;
        clear: none !important;
    }
    .vanilla-d7cut4-collapsableContent-heightContainer {
        height: auto !important;
    }
    .vanilla-toe1gy-collapsableContent-gradient {
        opacity: 0 !important;
    }
    .vanilla-1vww8zj-collapsableContent-footer {
        display: none !important;
    }
    .Reactions {
        padding: 0 !important;
        margin: 0 !important;
        margin-right: 10px !important;
        position: unset !important;
        float: right !important;
    }
    .postbit-postbody .clearleft {
        clear: both !important;
    }
    .postbit-header time {
        visibility: hidden !important;
    }
    .postbit-header time::after {
        content: attr(title) !important;
        visibility: visible !important;
        position: absolute !important;
        left: 25px !important;
    }
    .bodybox-wrap {
        padding-left: 100px !important;
    }
    #latest + .Comment .postbit-header {
        font-weight: bold !important;
    }
    
    /* forums */
    .forum-threadlist-thread-lastpost {
        float: left !important;
    }
    .forum-threadlist-thread-lastposter {
        float:right !important;
        width: unset !important;
    }
    .Category {
        float: right !important;
    }
    .Frame-content .HomepageTitle {
        display: block !important;
    }
    /*Remove Twitter/Facebook buttons */
    .ReactSprite {
        display: none;
    }
    

    as has been said by others, as they fix the site, these will break and need modded

    I have turned this into a browser extension (and it now includes a dark mode setting to add to the features above). See details here: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058208910/boardsie-enhancement-suite-browser-extension/p1

    Using Brave's built in dark mode function, although it's experimental... white bars and box fields are all blacked out. Does the job of making this site more bearable to browse though.
