Somewhat old wintery layout!
----------------------------------------------------

Transparent Images > Opacity

That is all

(Also: I learned opacity is very... wonky if done wrong... case in point, the magical disappearing post)

Yeah, I had an interesting problem when I tried to use opacity for mine. It kept coming out like this about 90% of the time you loaded the page. The other 10% it looked fine.

Also, if your posts are in a translucent container, any images within it will also be translucent, which looks odd.

#postid or .postclass img {
opacity: 0%/100%?; (never used it before)
}

Just wondering if that would work in theory.

Oh, and maybe somebody else who thought 30% opacity was a great idea.

So, I hope everybody enjoys the lack of opacity! Maybe you'll learrn how to use a layout without it. Or even better, without the layout maker.

Another reason for me not to make another layout. Like I needed one.

Yeah, somebody's layout was freezing my browser every time I scrolled in the Town Square. I really don't see why people can't just make a .PNG that's transparent in itself.

I don't think so. If your container is 70% opaque then it'll interpret that as 100% of 70%.

Because shittastic IE won't render it correctly. Apparently some people care. You can default to a dithered GIF, but it's hard to get the effect with those without making it unreadable.

The only layouts I had trouble with in the past were Hydra's and possibly Kawa's(There were broken images around it).

A patterned GIF like mine works fine, but its color is close to the background behind it so there isn't too much contrast

Eh. Opacity or a transparent .PNG wouldn't work for me. (see: solid background color behind post)

I did use opacity at one point, though. I know I kept it at a readable level, and no one complained about it... but images are affected by the opacity setting, too, so I eventually changed it.

I don't see the point of like 30% opacity, though -- what makes someone think that's good? Is near illegibility the new fad?

I've had one case where I made something that I had no trouble reading but others couldn't read at all.

Old and new.
See: old Geoshitties pages, and myspace pages.



But yeah, can you blame us for wanting to stay away from that fad?

Mine has two obvious problems. I lack knowledge of HTML to make real improvements, and its images are on an unreliable server. Of course... That'd take "effort", which isn't something I've got much of right now.

I added a new filter!

I plan to only leave it on for a few hours (slash a day), but thanks for all the motivation.



Kind of amusing, at least.

Unfortunately, I have to keep layouts off most of the time because there's someone's that still freezes up my browser (I think it's Acmlm's). I don't use layouts most of time -- just different fonts and colors.
