Forum:Visual changes proposal

Forums: Index > Gummi Garage > Visual changes proposal

Okay, so I created this forum for us, mostly (but not limited to) me and Soxra, to suggest aesthetic changes to the content of this wiki. So, if you have suggestions, feel free to share them here, and please, follow the format.

Thumbnails Frames [implemented][edit]

					EVA Unit XIII - The beginning and the end share the same moment. TALK - I've been waiting for this moment... 04:41, 30 January 2012 (UTC)







					Browsing our articles, I realized that the images to further ilustrates subjects and situations in the story sections and the others... didnt really catch the eye, and as such, they didnt really illustrate the subjects. Besides, they are plain boring, so I think a nice, color frame around them will make them look more appealing to the eye. Below are some examples: No frame (Current) Frame (My suggestion) Note that the color used can be freely customized so it's not bound to be that shade of blue I have in my custom .css. What do you guys think?

(Like my new box? Hikari made it for me) Well, if Bulbapedia can change colors for boxes and such, many wikis can, including us.

I like it, especially the curves. Maybe we could adjust the color to the new design (and by that I don't mean pink).

Oh gog rounded edge.

17 approves.

Nice idea, DE. :D

This frame, I like it. ANOTHER.

Eh, I prefer the one we're currently using. The other would make it look less organized. But, I haven't seen it being used in any articles yet so I can't say for sure if it would look bad or not. Maybe it would look good, also depending on which color we would chose. But for now I'm still saying no this until I see it in action. - JTD95 21:56, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

In response to your doubts, JTD95, no, the frames do not collide with the content and do not make it look chaotic, as you can see Here. Since the general consensus seem to be that this change is liked, all that remains is to decide in a color before I can apply it.--Dark-Enigma XIII 22:22, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Aye, looks awesome, lets do it.

I don't have a problem with the color you have there, to be honest. but orange is my favorite color...

SidVI - It's weird. I feel like I'm forgetting something really important.

I like it, and since you can change the colours, it should be pretty damn good.

Uxie Lover1994 Nya? ^{— 05:53, 2 February 2012 (UTC)}

Question: Is it possible to change colors for certain pages?

Nope. Soxxeh 06:06, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

That's alright then. However, the text should be in a dark color, since I cannot read the infomation written in the boxes. Take a look at my Legado, for example.

Huh? The boxes are dark purple. If it was black, you wouldn't be able to read it. Perhaps provide a screenshot so I can see exactly how it's unreadable? Soxxeh 06:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Purple? It's white on my computer.

Click here and see. Please note that it's to only be online for 48 hours.

Ergh, my oversight. Should work fine now, once your cache decides it wants to be nice. You should upgrade your browser sometime soon, though... ^^ Soxxeh 07:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Really not liking the color. It's too red, and it doesn't match anything in the theme. I suggest Jazzberry Jam (#A50B5E) or something similar. Does that work? -- AS IF! 21:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

TALK -

The color and text color need to be modified so that links are still visible. Blue on violet is difficult to see.

LightRoxas "Lead me into everlasting darkness!"

I agree with Kryten, and I would like to suggest using straight up Red-Violet (#C71585) with links in Silver (#C0C0C0). That's just my personal taste, though, so I can set up a custom CSS if I get outvoted.

					I've updated it, but I couldn't quickly find a page that has links in the thumbnails, so I wasn't able to see the result... should work, regardless, though.

Looks great, Sox. Thanks a lot. Light

Category Bar + Input Buttons [implemented][edit]

					Soxra - You've heard of it, haven't you? The legend of Sparda? Let's rock! - Soxxeh 04:50, 30 January 2012 (UTC)







					On the same ideas as above, the category bar the bottom of each article, as well as the input buttons (such as "Go" and "Search") are rather flat and boring. (I group these together because the proposed style for both is rather similar.) Current (browser-dependent) Proposed Again, keep in mind that we are not bound by color here. Any color can be used, I've just used grey for the sake of simplicity.

This looks really good.

Same as above, I really like these two ideas.
