Exactly.

Also, a subtle subdued grey in the back. All the other skins throw color in your face.

I noticed something - on the forum default, the light red looks yellow, and the light blue looks white. Edit: On mercury's too.

EDIT: Oh dear lord, Mars is worse than the Jewels!

Also, just noticed something. It IS the size of them that's got the biggest impact. On Luna, the size is big enough that I can tell. Make it bigger, a bit more hi-res. I think 20-24 px should be fine. Also, tweak the alpha levels in the light jewels a bit.

Like the top line.

"just change the one you have now to be more clear"

Role, please stop telling us what to do. When new members complain, maybe we'll see, but it's nothing that a "hey can you explain these?" doesn't fix. And I've never really had a complaint about it from a new member before. And you've been here a year and eight months, which is hardly "years."

Please see my edit.

Also, it's sad that you're not trying to constantly improve the place... but whatever.

Is this a multi-user problem? We could make a poll for new users asking if the jewels are distressing or confusing.

That would be nice, but something tells me Satty's against change no matter what.

This comment pretty much nails it, since I'm not telling him what to do, I'm complaining that I can't understand the damn jewel things. I even offered a solution to my problem instead of being worthless and screaming "fix this now for me". But hey, trying to argue my point apparently is just telling the admin what to do.

I'm not stupid, you know - I'm not about to go to war with an admin over something like this.

I don't think its ever in a community's best interest to change something solely because one person wants it. If this was a multi-user problem, then it would be important to strongly consider it. As of right now, its not.

Then you'd know I wasn't the only user to comment about not liking them. And yet you claim it's not a multi-user problem...

You know what? Screw it. It's not worth it. I just wanted to help out, didn't expect to get chewed out for it though. I'll just go back to the games forum - should have known better than to leave there anyways.

two people voiced support for your plan. one was an incredibly generic memetic response, the other was someone supporting your plan, but only because of the folders used on his preferential skin. it wasn't an indictment on the standard system, just the specifics of his preferred skin. i don't exactly think that constitutes sweeping widespread support. otherwise the thread is just you and satty going back and forth

"we should do this."
"no, i don't think so."
"yes we should"
"nah, we're good."
"[radio edit] you"
"[radio edit] you too"

yes Role, the only reason this plan is being met with negative reviews by the head admin is because you proposed it. it has nothing to do with the fact that you brought up something you thought was an issue that literally no one has ever complained about before ever in the history of this forum.

jfc, woe is you. you're right, the entire issue is entirely about you. sorry for operating under any pretense.

Okay, so for either opinion this topic doesn't have a large enough sample to be significant. Like I said, I couldn't hurt to make a topic to find out where most of the temple stands on the issue. In the event that the jewels are distressing to a significant group of people we can consider stickying a topic explaning the jewel system, change the saturation of the unread icons, or MAYBE even switch to Role's system if Fascist Leader Satty approves. Yah, sound gud? Or are we dropping it? :<

I have no problem with changing it if a majority doesn't like it. ^_^

Earlier I said that I liked your images, Role, and I still do. They're larger than the tiny star buttons which alone makes them preferable to me. However, I was confused then about how many images there were, and now that I'm not so sleep-deprived, I've taken a look at something

Here are the different distinctions of topic images that we're able to modify, taken straight from the ACP:
Plain Folder
Plain Folder (No new posts)
Hot Topic Folder
Hot Topic Folder (No new posts)
Poll Folder
Poll Folder (No new posts)
Locked Folder
Moved Folder
Replied Marker

And, for reference, here are the different types of forum indicators:
Forum Marker
Forum Marker (No New Posts)
Password Protected Forum
Read-only Forum
Redirect Forum
Trash Can

Short of requesting elaborate mods or direct changes to the Zetaboards source code itself, these are the only types of indicators we can support. So yeah. Also, I think Poui designed custom topic indicators and stuff for the Mercury Clan skin, but I'll see if my clansfolk would prefer this or not. I'm all for stuff that increases readability! (I browse the Temple with the page size increased a couple of levels.)

... oh wow, yeah, I have no clue what the default page size is.

So apparently I was browsing at 120%. Hmmm.

I'd rather be outside.

If you have trouble differentiating what the icons mean, Role, perhaps you could change your monitor settings a bit. For example, I have my brightness and contrast up quite a bit. It allows me to see contrast. Brightly.

Hello, dears, I'd just like to make a suggestion that's not necessarily directly related to the topic at hand... However, it does concern this one. I'd like to suggest to remove the link to this topic from the poll topic, at least not before a person has seen the options and (probably) voted, because to me, the way people are presenting themselves and their arguments in this topic could skew results. If they bothered to attempt reading the topic. Which I did. And you know, actually, linking it is the clearest way to help people who haven't seen this topic understand why we're taking a vote, so perhaps my suggestion isn't the best one. But it is a suggestion I felt needed to be made, and if nobody else really sees this as a problem, of course, there's no need to implement it, mruuw.
