danger/lewd/ - The VA-11 Hall-A Theme for lewd.sx!

I've been wanting to code a VA-11 Hall-A theme for Lewd since at least summer of last year. Seein' as I was too sick to write and had off from work today, I figured I'd finally take a hack at it.

DISCLAIMER: Despite how much I adore its aesthetics, I still haven't had a chance to play VA-11 Hall-A. If you've got any changes that might make this theme more faithful to the original game, feel free to modify it however you'd like! ^^

In case anyone's wondering, the colors are based on danger/u/, a rather comfy text board based on the actual danger/u/ from the game. I've tried to keep things as simplistic as possible, save a couple of colors to accommodate Lewd's topography.

Now, bear in mind: This is just a minor mod of a theme I hastily cobbled together from scratch two years ago. I've picked up some valuable experience since then, but I can't guarantee I caught all the bugs.

FOR CHROME USERS

Just download Stylish for your browser, click the Stylish icon, select "Write a new style for Lewd.sx", and paste the new stylesheet (via PasteBin) into the blank text area. Then, specify that you want it to affect all URLs on domain "lewd.sx"; copy/pasting the full URL with "https://" doesn't seem to work. Hit Save, and you should see the results before you've even refreshed.

NOTE: I've encountered a rare bug wherein you can't install/update/write any styles using Stylish. This appears to be a problem with either the extension/add-on or Chrome itself, so my only recommendation would be to reinstall your browser.

FOR FIREFOX USERS

Firefox's version of Stylish decorates every page you visit unless you restrict it to a certain domain in the stylesheet. As such, here's the special file for Firefox and Firefox Mobile users.

THINGS I NEED TO FIX

  • User pages Done.

  • The Quick Reply box. It works, but I need to change the color of the autocomplete tooltips.

  • Nested Quotes They actually didn't need fixing.

  • The Reputation Page

  • Notifications and messages Fix'd.

  • Make flaired username text more visible. All the currently-popular groups should be fine though.

  • Make text more visible in general All text is now a stark white, save pinktext which is now a minty green.

  • The footer It ain't fixed, but most people don't notice it anyways.

  • The Search page

  • Spoilers, maybe? I haven't checked. Spoilers seem to be alright.

  • Pinned threads. As it turns out, it wasn't too hard.

  • Other fonts and special characters. I'd reckon they look alright. Maybe even better than before.

  • Get a better header image. Originally I'd opted for this portrait of Anna, but the white of her face obscured navigation buttons.

  • The Login page

  • Make userbar colors equivalent to username colors. (Particularly for the Optimist group.)

  • Black editor when replying to a thread. I fiddled with it for an hour and got nowhere.

  • Reorganizing code. The theme works, but it's a goddamn mess.

THINGS I CAN'T FIX

  • Nothing yet, but if you find anything I'd love to hear about it.

And... That's pretty much it, really! Mad props to @Melancholy for letting me host the custom font on Lewd's server, and @[deleted], whose theme I'm still shamelessly plagiarizing using as a base. I had a lotta fun making this, so I hope you guys enjoy! 😃

I can't seem to connect to flyingpancake.info at the moment.

Man, sometimes I feel like the thing's more trouble than it's worth. Thanks for telling me though! I've uploaded the stylesheets to PasteBin instead. ^^

I had forgotten that I had my own theme, thanks for reminding me. Looks good and I'll give it a look at sometime tomorrow! 🙂

It looks great but unfortunately the font hurts my eyes just a bit too much.

Also the border-radius on .author looks weird in percent.

Thankya! And that's fine. For me it took some getting-used-to, but it's already become my theme of choice while browsing Lewd. ^^

I actually stumbled across that part totally on accident. Was trying to give the thread pages some topography by giving everyone's avatar a circular double-border, but I accidentally ended up styling the entire author class. It didn't look half-bad, so I figured I'd just run with it.

Would you believe I never learned how to use GitHub? Five years towards my bachelor's, and I've never had a project that needed it, nor a groupmate that requested I learn it.

I'm trash, I know. xD

You're not alone. I don't really know how to use Github either.

The same way you'd use any other git repository, except one that happens to be hosted on GitHub :^)

git is a version control system. Basically, it just keeps track of changes to files and directories, who made them, etc.

I wish there was an appropriate emoticon for the face I'm making right now, but you'll have to make do with this description: part amusement, part unamused, part "I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed" and finally part "I don't know what I expected."
