SilverStar Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Looks like DJP made some updates, anyway THAT is fixed, but... I have absolutely NO CLUE what's causing that. It doesn't happen for me and SHOUOLD'NT be happening at ALL. The banner is ONLY the background image for the BODY tag and the BODY tag online. In fact stuff in the INPUT boxes are styled something completely different. Since I'm not seeing it, it's gonna be pretty hard for me to get to the bottom of, but I've added a few things that MIGHT work. Edit: Looks like userStyles is broken right now, in the meantime manually update using this: http://ramaserv.thasauce.net/images/OCRCSS/OCR4-Contrast/vBulletin.css Error in parsing value for property 'background-image'. Declaration dropped. And it's still giving me the image in the edit box. :/ I manually updated the style by overwriting the old one with that one. And.. yes. Using standard clears up the background image issue. Also makes the text look better. And it doesn't seem to have an issue with there being extra, phantom lines in the edit box.

Ramaniscence Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 The code is error-free again, but there's no real point in updating it right yet. I just removed a line that was causing the error that wasn't being used. I did upload the new version regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcom Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'm guessing this is what you are referring to when you say standard editor? https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2108/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramaniscence Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Last update before MAGFest. The style has been updated on userStyles. I replaced the Quote/etc/etc buttons because I got too tired of looking at the normal ones, but be aware they're subject to change and likely WILL BE changed latter. Anyway EVERYONE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THASAUCE LIVE MAGFEST COVERAGE @ STICKAM. </plug> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neminem Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thank you muchlyl!!!! Yes, that many bangs were necessary, it's just that good. I hadn't bothered with this mod before, though I knew it was there - I didn't really mind the previous layout change (even though, I'll admit, the blue one is still hands-down the best-looking), and what with a 1440x900 resolution, the sidebar doesn't get in the way at all. But I just got back from Hawaii to discover that now, OCR has a layout I think looks like crap. So, I applied your layout instead, and while I still like the blue layout the best, yours is way better than any of the other current alternatives. So, thanks!

Gollgagh Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Okay, I have only one complaint: The total lack of a thread title at the top of a page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Okay, I have only one complaint:The total lack of a thread title at the top of a page. That's actually a problem with the main darkskin, not the vB skin, and I've actually already fixed that, I just haven't uploaded the new one. I'll do that sometime tonight after I make dinner and make a post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramaniscence Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 I will, of course, be doing that next, but there's obviously a lot of OCR3 stuff that'll be lost forever (( I'll do my best, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 This dark skin's getting snazzier each time it's updated. Nice work thus far, Rama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'm getting an issue with my Post Topic, Edit, Quote, and other buttons not displaying properly. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just on my side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'm getting an issue with my Post Topic, Edit, Quote, and other buttons not displaying properly. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just on my side? Right now, things look fine. But I have seen the occasional instance where a different looking button pops up (a previous version perhaps? One from another skin?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 The original images loads up before the stylish CSS shoves it out of the way, and posts the new one. That's probably because OCR's servers load faster than ThaSauce's (where the images are hosted). For me right now NOTHING shows up except edit buttons. Maybe a few cache refreshes or a Firefox restart'll clear it up, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a change in the forum code that made the forum unusable with the dark style. Edit: Next order of business? Moved thread icons =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Thus far, the buttons are showing up for me, so I don't think any code was changed (at least not drastically anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effector Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Nice work Rama. I still had the old Stylish theme running, and was just complaining to myself about the way the links were handled in vBulletin... then finding this and all I was missing out on - great way to pump up the forums. EDIT: Still getting an overlap between the site location bar (eg, home » forums » General » Community) and the title "info" on the sidebar. Is this just me, a known bug, or what? EDIT2: Now I'm getting a little bit of what you were talking about - I edited a post in advanced mode (switched screens), then went back. All the context buttons on my post were the original versions, but all the others on the page were the nice new darks ones. What gives? EDIT3: Is there no replacement for the "closed" button? (the one that replaces the "post reply" button when the mods lock a thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Ok, totally new with firefox. I installed the Stylish plugin, went to write style and blank style. Pasted the code from Main Style and saved it as that, did the same in another one with the vbulletin edit. Saved both, applied, whatever, but nothing happens. What am I missing? Incidentally I ought to mention that when I try to save the "main style" one it gives me a sort of syntax error ("was expecting ____ but found___ , do you still want to use code?") Any help here? I've tried tutorials but they just tell me to do exactly what I've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 If you have Stylish and Firefox installed, just use the UserStyle links to install both the styles. They SHOULD install correctly when you click the "Install Style" button.

KyleJCrb Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Dave broke the front page for this skin and it looks ugly. Any chance you could fix it and make it nice again, Rama? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 A bump? No. This is akin to ramming the thread with a diesel locomotive running at top speed towing a full 100 car load of coal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozlifyme Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 First let me say that the skin looks awesome. Only thing I noticed was that there were some images and things that I saw that weren't changed so it left a bunch of white space and images that didn't mesh well with the skin. Is there a way to change those in stylish too? I'll make the images on my own, just wanted to know if there was a way to change them. some examples of what I'm talking about, are the main background, the side bar on the left, some of the text in the sidebar, the read/unread icons, the collapse/expand icons, and the go to last post icon. Just a few things I wanted to fix becasue I have ocd. lemme know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
