Cantr skins

Postby EchoMan » Fri Nov 30, 2012 1:54 am

Here is a topic for discussing Cantr skins. Report bugs in the provided skins, discuss how to write your own and/or change existing etc.

Right now I noticed that the build menu doesn't look very good in Cantr Grey anymore. I will fix that soon.

Would it be possible to get unique names on all forms and possible some more ids and classes on fields or at least on the wrappers around things?

Just found out that in the grey skin, in the activities page, you can't read the project you're working on yourself, because the letters are the same color as the background.

I'm using the green one, and I'm at the point where I'm considering it to be TOO GREEN.

What is wrong with me?

I absolutely LOVE the green one! ^_^ When I get home today, I think I'll make my own skin, though :P

I'm using classic too, Henkie...

I love the green blackground, but not all the letters in green.

I was actually just thinking a few days ago about how I didn't really like the orange letters against the green background of the classic view. Someone must have read my mind, because I think the green view is perfect. :D I catch myself staring at the screen even more than usual now.

The only problem I have with the green skin is that the background picture doesn't extend to the bottom of the screen :/ which is a shame, because it's an awesome picture!

I can't do the new skins. I appreciate the efforts and hope that they pay off in full, what with more people sneaking cantr time into their work hours, etc. But for me, they're just wrong.

Loving the green one. Miss the orange bits a litle, but loving the picture too much to change back, and don't have the knowledge to make my own!

I liked the idea of making the grey one to help cantr addicts keep their job, well thought! I am using the +green right now and, maybe it's just a coincidence but I feel like the game is faster. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Anyway, I'm probably going to change back to normal too, I just noticed how much I like the orange details of the game.

I'm working on a skin the blackens the background and gives different event types, different colors. IE: Attacks are red, radio messages are purple, chat is white, etc. I'm finding that it works really well for night time use and for looking at information that is only pertinent to my characters.

As much as I like the idea, the html could really use to be cleaned up to make better styles more feasible. Still, great feature, I'm loving it.
