Title: Keep the colors in Hex code! :)
Post by: JesusGod-Pope666.Info on October 16, 2020, 08:04:52 am
Wonderful with all the help in the CSS file, I have a request in regards of making it better. At the places one can do, keep the colors in Hex and not names :) As it is easier to search it out while picking out the color in Gimp and looking for it in the CSS.

That's all, thanks. I just tried SMF RC3, and went to the CSS file... Like nope... get back to ElkArte!

-edit-
Must be a better way to easy get colors directly from the screen without needing to import it to gimp, or the other way around. Just haven't figured it out yet.

You can have them how you like, just modify them.

There are many colour picker addons for browsers or inspect elements which every browser has.

I don;t know how many times people have told you this, but I do recall doing it at least once myself. :P

Right click on any element > Select "Inspect element".

That brings up your browser's dev tools, which will tell you everything about the markup and CSS. You can also install Collorzilla, if you want a dedicated colour picker as well.

And yes, SMF's organisation of CSS files, if you can call it that, has never been very good. That's why I suggested the system Elk uses as soon as I saw an example on someone's GitHub page. It was obviously a good idea, and the rest of the Elk Alpha crew saw the benefits at once. Tried suggesting it at SMF too, but of course they weren't that sensible. :P

@Antechinus Yea, I guess, people did - and once again - and actually did a little in Chrome with F12 yesterday :).
I'm just strained to the max, well my brain is anyway - so it kinda not easy. Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Notes, HTML, CSS, PHP, Java, Bible, History, Health and whatever...  Anyway...

Well, more people should join up with ElkArte, I think there was some programmers not on there team anymore - they could just come over and help with what not.

Anyway... I should go to bed, as usual so many things to do, but... Well, Lots of plans and ideas, and sadly the action is going slow. Well, I should look back on things, and actually accept that I've come a long way I guess, even if it seems to go slow.

I need to find a way to make a copy of the main theme, so I can edit one and still have the original. Still lots of confusing on my side, and the options is still one wild nature of unknowing danger :P

What is the D:\NetBeansProjects\Hjemmeside\paven666.dk\forum\themes\default\css\_besocial\rtl_besocial.css file?
Is that a mistake, it seems like a broken standard index_besocial and yet lags a huge amount @Antechinus?

It's for RTL languages, like Hebrew or Arabic. It's not broken in them (or shouldn't be anyway).

Hmm, so the RTL file is form other tongues like Semitics? Maybe even Greek?

This gab thing on this page really ruins my eyes! Someone fix it ;)

Last I checked Greek wasn't an RTL language. It's for languages that run right-to-left, like Hebrew and Arabic. If you aren't using those languages, don't worry about it.
