Little Topic Solved improvement

[Irisado]

Sorry, I just picked a random green colour and inserted it

You've ruined the illusion now, you were supposed to say that it took you hours and hours to decide, and that this is the kind of dedication required to be a team member .  You've missed a golden opportunity there .

More seriously, it doesn't matter if it was random.  A soft shade of green trumps vivid green on a computer screen.

It did take me hours to decide what colour picker to use... You need a good one to be a team member

Though I hate picking colours in general, so I just clicked of the first sign of what looked green to me. Sorry for the outcome, though I think snow has put a nice solution to that

Yeah, I've been sorta OCD lately lol. I actually spent 100x longer picking a shade of green I liked than it too me to actually make all the edits haha.

Antechinus &  Irisado you might just be right,with a dark theme it is tricky to set the right color,specially if you want to keep the text readable,now chosen for this color code #C8F6C8

Code Select Expand

{
background: 
#C8F6C8;
}
.solvedbg2
{
   background: 
#C8F6C8;

ROFL. I do that sort thing all the time. Also change paddings, etc by 1px several times just to see what looks best. The actual base coding takes no time in comparison to all the presentation shiz.

No, it's not tricky at all with dark themes. I've done several of them, and other people have done stacks of them. All you have to do is follow basic guidelines for contrast, etc, along with using a bit of common sense so you don't burn people's eyeballs out.

If people are using a dark theme their eyes will be adjusted to that. Putting lurid green stripes across it is going to freak theme out. All you really need is some visual indication that the topic is different. It doesn't have to leap out of the screen and rip your balls off.

Sorry to dredge this.
Small little improvement to Yoshi's improvement.

At the end of the theme index.css add:

Code Select Expand

.topic_table td.solved_locked2
{
background-image: url(../images/icons/quick_lock.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 98% 4px;
}

In the MessageIndex.template.php files, above

Code (Find) Select Expand

// Locked topics get special treatment as well.
elseif ($topic['is_locked'])
$color_class = 'lockedbg';
Add this:

Code (Add Before) Select Expand

// If solved AND locked
elseif ($topic['is_solved'] && $topic['is_locked'])
$color_class = 'solvedbg solved_locked';

This allows it to be both solved and locked.  Otherwise, solving a topic will remove the lock icon.
