[4791] [Curve] Issues when browsing with images disabled

(1/2) > >>

Sverre:
Due to widespread use of background-color: transparent;, Curve is rendered almost unreadable if images are disabled.



As long as the main_block.png isn't transparent, a different background colour can be applied to several of the problem areas without any negative side effects. It's not perfect, but a few minor changes definitely makes browsing with images disabled a much more pleasant experience:



The only conflict I've found so far is with


--- Code: ---h3, h4 {
padding-bottom: 3px;
}
--- End code ---

which makes a small strip of the background colour visible beneath the background image of certain titlebgs and catbgs. This seems to be easy to fix by removing the bottom padding from h3 and h4 and adding a top margin of 3px to .topslice, .description, .calendar_table and possibly a few other places I haven't found yet/don't have access to instead though.

As an added bonus, this also fixes the slight alignment issue currently seen when the Info Center is collapsed:



vs.



If .content_section is given a different background colour, like I've done in my screen shot, the colour of


--- Code: ---.buttonlist ul li a.active:hover {
color: #ddddff;
}
.buttonlist ul li a.active {
color: #ffffff;
--- End code ---

should also be reversed in order to make the "New Topic" and "Reply" buttons visible without hovering over them.

Another unfortunate issue with images disabled is overflow from Display's mini profiles into posts, as seen here:



An overflow value for .poster could fix this, but it may cause other problems or cross-browser issues which I'm unable to test until I get my hands on Curve.

Antechinus:
I had already made a noise about the main background so that now has a hex code set for it. The other details are worth doing too so I'll make sure they happen. Hopefully for RC2 but certainly before the next release. We can't use hidden overflow for the poster div (or at least I don't think so as I can see problems with that) but we should be able to work out another solution.

If overflow is used to fix this, I would definitely choose auto instead of hidden.

Antechinus:
Hmm. Scrollbars though. They look damned nasty. Better if we can think of something else.

ETA: Well I suppose it wouldn't be that bad, since images are gone anyway and we aren't going for max eye candy. It would be better if it could be done with a <br /> or something though so that scrolling wasn't needed.

Joshua Dickerson:
hmmm... it is kind of stupid that we have "Recent Posts" and then "Recent Posts". There should be a better solution for that (use a sprite is what I would probably say). No idea how to fix those IM issues.
