Title: New April Fools site themeing
Post by: aetios on April 01, 2016, 12:01:06 PM
EDIT (DJ): Yep, this was fake. But if there are enough requests, maybe there will be an option to invert the site theme in the future or a separate one with the option enabled.

Sup everyone! You probably have noticed that as of recently we've been working on improving the Codewalrus user experience, because of course we want you to have the best possible experience using our great site. Because of that today we enter the first phase of the rollout of the new theme we have been developing. It features improved readibility and more black on white for reading under dim light so you can spend all night on your favorite website!
Enjoy!

Wait a moment, it says you posted that at 2PM. That post must be broken, it is only 9AM right now, 2PM is in the future.

Would it be possible to exempt images from being inverted? :walrii: and the calc screenshots look weird with this O.O

Bug report:

WalrusIRC scrolling no longer works on Chrome mobile

Same issue in the theme editor or anything else that normally has scrollbars.

Not exactly, in the fact that you can access the theme whenever you want. :blah:

Update:

-Most images in the theme are now back to normal (make sure to do an hard refresh to see the changes, which is Shift+F5 or CTRL+R depending of the browser, I think). Now you can see calculator screenshots such as Wolfeinstein 3D and First Fantasy II in their full glory, as well as :walrii:

Post by: aetios on April 01, 2016, 11:06:40 PM
To be honest, I liked it more when it was inverted, many images now look out of place :/
Title: Re: New and improved site themeing
Post by: Dream of Omnimaga on April 01, 2016, 11:23:54 PM
True, but I don't think calculator screenshots should be tampered with, especially when we showcase milestones and stuff >.<. The other images can always be manually edited later.

That's unless you have a way to exempt 320x240 and 192x128 images from being inverted, though.

Eh, true, but I thought your Wolfeinstein looked awesome in pink and yellow. :P

It looked kinda off for me, considering the original game was blue and gray. :P

I did not know that until later today. :P

Lol, so obviously this was a prank. @DJ Omnimaga I didn't really think of your screenshots when I enabled the theme :P It was fun :)

I only had the pink background, and was pretty confused about how it would make the site more readable :P

Yeah, you had to clear your cache to see it.

Also Invert (webkit) and scrollbars don't mix on Chrome mobile.

That's because your previous post was against rule #2 <.< (since involved name calling)

Post by: GalacticPirate on April 06, 2016, 01:45:58 PM
Really ? Yeah, of course the word 'stupid' is a horrible and obscene insult and all of you were hurt by it. I suppose I'll get a -1 because I said you were mean... :P BTW, soory :trollface:

It goes against everything (http://piskel-imgstore-b.appspot.com/img/d663031c-ddb9-11e5-b1a7-9de9acbde201.gif) stands for.

Are you implying that only people living outside the United States can troll? :P

Technically, yes, but I don't know what Captain Canada thinks about language and name-calling.
According to HISHE(How It Should Have Ended, pronounced "his-he"), Captain America is very against this.

Of course! As long as you're okay with the maple leaf looking skewed, (http://piskel-imgstore-b.appspot.com/img/d616d026-fc68-11e5-ac0b-e3b607274d86.gif) would be happy to be added to the :walrii: family!

@Dudeman313 , let me look up the exact CSS for bringing it back.
@Streetwalrus we should make a separate theme for this. I also kinda liked it :P
