[nodebb-theme-lavender] Lavender Theme for NodeBB

I really love this theme, although I'm not a huge fan of masonry and there's one thing that makes me tick, and it's the / character with this font. It's soooo wide.

psychobunny

haha yeah I'm thinking of changing the font. I'm finding big paragraphs of text less readable than before

as for masonry, it looks a lot better after @baris pushed some changes (updated just now in 0.0.6), if it still doesn't float your boat you can just remove that line from lavender.js

<baris>

I don't know why this font looks good in FF and bad in chrome for me. It looks as if it doesn't have anti-aliasing in chrome. This seems to be related. Also this.

psychobunny

Ugh, this font is driving me nuts, it's totally unreadable. This is totally a display font and not any good for general reading. Any suggestions? Next patch I will just revert to either cerulean's or vanilla's font.

How about this? (chuckle)

(inside joke, for the rest of you :P)

psychobunny

@psychobunny I've always been a fan of Open Sans and Droid Sans.

julian

@Chris I happen to know @psychobunny's not a fan of Droid Sans

I am, though, and we could always change his mind...

+1 to Open Sans, I love it.
Also Myriad Pro is actually a very nice font, even though it's Apples love child. :l

I'm getting some errors on your site ex.

TypeError: footerEl is null

@psychobunny if I used your lavender theme could you give me the code to put in 42 to change the color to a pale blue?

julian

@StuartH possibly looking into a better way to handle styling than using plugin -42 (no offense @bentael :D)... shoving CSS modifying javascript nto the footer is really a hack anyway...

Ok I will wait, ummm I've broken it again by the way

psychobunny

I've not actually used 42 before, but I imagine it would be a little bit of work... probably will have to modify everywhere that has purple

I can start you off though,

.panel-default > .panel-heading {
    border-color: #yourblue
}

.btn-primary:hover, .btn-primary:focus, .btn-primary:active, .btn-primary.active, .open .dropdown-toggle.btn-primary {
    background-color: #yourblue;
    border-color: #darkerblue;
}

a, a:hover, a:focus {
    color: #yourblue
}

That should take care of maybe 75% of the purples in Lavender

none taken. I don't use it for CSS changes really, but you can.

@StuartH, unrelated, are you using the latest 42 ?

StuartH

@bentael yes they upgraded me yesterday, I've put my html in for a server status viewer but its taking an age to appear still was not showing a good 3 hours after putting the code in, unfortunately the site is down atm so I can not check if it is now working.

julian

@StuartH We seem to be back up now (Y)

./nodebb upgrade didn't seem to pull in the latest -42.

bentael

let me know when it's back up, that's really weird. Can you run the server with NODE_ENV=development nodebb start so it won't use the minified JS - i have a feeling that the minification is either skipping the generated JS or happening ahead, or not not happening at all.

@julian can I add an option to force re-minifying on server start if needed?
