Aqua-Soft Skin (Round 2)

wow this is looking great man! im looking around for bugs right now... this is better than the last one :)

1. i agree with the previous comment of some of the text is a bit too large. (headers)

2. thread folder icons look like crap :confused:

3. can we get better messenger icons?

4. is the usercp part of Other? (edit profile)

5. similar to 4 but in the edit reply page

also, the search box, while not running off the screen or anything, is maybe a bit longer than it need to be.

Do me a favor, switch to windows classic then see if it does that.

#238093

Do me a favor, switch to windows classic then see if it does that.

sorry to report, yes it does (at least you're consistent!)

also, i noticed that while the number of replies to a post is still there, the number of views is not. i find that helpful info. (see if anyone is even reading the damn thing, ya know?)

edit: just checked in ie and it's the same. my default is wxpsp2, firefox v1.0.

edit #2: i also agree with someone, several post back who said he'd like to see the name of the last poster to a thread, specifically on the 'new posts' page.

#238098

Allow me to be brief...and cruel. :-P

1)The search this thread drop-down link is also too long.

2) Need something that divides the text "Thread Tools | Search this Thread | Rating "

3) Report Bad Post icon looks a little messed up.

4) More color differentiation for elements near the bottom of the page: Between the Currently Active users, and the posting rules (darker


lines, maybe? )

5) Clicking the Thread Tools automatically moves you down to the first post of the page (the page bookmark is set too low)

6) Different icons for the Quick Reply part-- the B, I, U, and Quote (most importantly the quote, probably)

7) More bulletins as events warrant. :-)

[Edit: More]

Definitely, Definitely, show who posted last for the New Posts thread.

Good work so far, though.

and if i may add...even if you did nothing else to this skin, it's still better as-is than the default simple skin. anything you would do from here would just be icing on the cake. so again, thx for the hard work!

same bug. but i think it depends of the forum engine.

#238134

just to let you know that the long search bar bug isn't there in Safari v1.2.4

#238140

I don't have it either in FireFox 1.0. I am thinking they probably changed the font dialog to something else (don't know exact key in the registry)

#238141

Only thing I can think is, its the theme you guys are using or something, I just sat down on my brothers pc >_< ack, and loaded it up, and I didn't see that problem, so I've tested it in Firefox (xp 1.0), Firefox (osx 1.0), safari (latest), and ie.

#238142

I'm using Tiger by Kol, so I switched to XP default (ack!) and its still there (the long bar bug that is).

I'm also running Firefox 1.0

#238150

It has to be either a font you guys are using or something that is not stock, I've tried it on my brothers pc, shak (aquaxp admin) has tested it and has not found the problem either :/

#238151

I swtiched the font from Lucidia Grande to Tahoma , I then tried arial (all on same theme - Tiger by Kol) ...still the same bug

Is it possible to change the little red document on posts to something nicer and more aqua.. like the Aqua rotating thing instead?

[edit] Finally - post counts are history - :)

#238153

The red icon means most recent activity in the thread, the red is fine imo.

I'm messing around with the postbit right now so things might be moved.

#238154

i dunno if anyone addressed showing the last poster in the thread on the new posts page

#238157

Yeah, there was my post 'bout it. It's really uncomfortable.

#238159

It's been mentioned like 4 times. However, Timmie is working on one thing at a time. Read the thread ;) .

Edit : BTW, much better with the blue member info and white posts.

#238163

Just thoughts. Maybe it will be better to fill post's and ava's bg with the same light-achromatic color and separate them with thin gray line? Two solid plates together, filled with different colors looks unpretty for me... :slant:

#238167

as for the long search thing, i'm gonna throw this out for consideration: even though i did NOT install the 'mac shell dialog' reg hack, i AM using flyakitesp2. maybe that's what us longbar-ers have in common...?

#238168

no bugs at all here :D. <3in the skin, but I think the report bad post icon is f'ed up too. :slant:

I wouldn't think so as I only have the modified theme DLL on Windows and am using the LHA Light theme and I still have the longbar problem.

EDIT: The posting rules bit should be changed.

Redo of EDIT 2: It also appears in IE.

It works pefectly in the orignal skin.

#238177

I'm just using a 'modified' Theme .dll too, nothing else.

#238181

Not sure about the last post thing, I actually like it not there, if you must goto the last post, just click the arrow >.

Like i said about the search box, its only certain users, I bet they have some crap install on their pc or firefox whatever.

As for the blue page background, its the same blue that osx uses, so we're keeping it :P. Don't worry a graphite skin would look nice.

#238182

i don't have a long search bar.

#238184

I've been looking everywhere to remove the "mark forum read" and "oppen buddy list" (see this post http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showpost.ph...970&postcount=9) but couldn't find an option to disable it. I tested with my bro's PC that has XP and Firefox 1.0 too and the buttons are not there, there is something wrong with my PC, anyone knows how to remove them?

I'm on XP SP1, Firefox 1.0 with Hill's skin, HandelgotDlig font (already tried changing the font back to default but didn't help), compact menu extension

Thanks

Edit: for those who have the long bars, try to clear your cache, I also had that problem yesterday when Tim just posted the skin, and after clearing my cache, I don't have them anymore

#238192

the long search bar is not that big of a deal to me, but clearing the cache didn't fix it.
