Color linked text

[Norv]

That's just impossible to miss, and more elegant than plain underline or bold.

[Masterd]

So, will this be changed or you two just argue about it?

[Norv]

It will be changed, of course.

[Masterd]

It will be changed, of course.

Great! 

[Antechinus]

Hey! What? This is SMF. Nothing will ever change. We'll just argue about it.

Is this true or you are just joking?

[Norv]

LOL Masterd,
He's just joking.

That's what the smiley is for.

I thought so.

* Antechinus goes to fire up Tortoise......................

Tortoise is an svn client. IOW, what I use to commit changes to the dev builds.

If you want the changes now what I did was as follows:

Sources/Subs.php: find

Code Select Expand

'content' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link new_win" target="_blank">$1</a>',

replace:

Code Select Expand

'content' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">$1</a>',

Do the same for the next tag too (remove the new_win class)

Index.css: find

Code Select Expand

/* Styling for BBC tags */
.bbc_link:link, .bbc_link:visited
{
color: #778899;
}

replace:

Code Select Expand

/* Styling for BBC tags */
.bbc_link:link, .bbc_link:visited
{
border-bottom: 1px solid #A8B6CF;
}
.bbc_link:hover
{
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid #346;
}

Than you for providing this changes so fast.

What about the orange colour?

[Antechinus]

Decided against using it in default.

[Kindred]

orange is ugly.

BTW: That red is very hard to see the contrast, especially for people with color-blindness, hence the blue

The border-bottom is not a bad choice.

[Antechinus]

I know it is not a bad choice. It saves interminable team arguments over which colours are both visible and not fuggers.

[Skhilled]

What I used to do with RC1 was edit style.css and change the links to an appropriate color according to my chosen theme. Since style.css is no longer used (I think) you should just be able to edit index.css (haven't tried this yet) until a fix is made.

[Arantor]

I remember the big old argument there was over the link colour in RC3 after people pointed out that RC2's was so hard to read, and RC3 had the lighter blue colour.

Was there actually anything wrong with it, since the team liked it, I don't recall anyone disliking it...

[Norv]

There were and will always be different opinions on an issue like this. It depends on too many subjective factors, including one's eyesight (for example, I've noticed that personally, I have problems seeing clearly text/background combinations that others see with no issues.)

Either way, this has been solved now, and the current solution will be used in 2.0 Final version.
