jcink skinathon: week 1
skinathon started yesterday and just like last time i am BINGEING! unlike last time tho i am a (slightly) better coder.
anyway here’s what i’m working on. header, topbar, index, and stats are DONE! this started as an attempt to do b/w with some brights for accents, and i might change colors later - but in the meantime, i’m using the color scheme currently in use on my site, and i am testing on my site, because i am an idiot and an asshole (and didn’t want to have to remember all the right settings to test shit)
header - i hate headers because i want to put info there that a lot of people would put in a sidebar, because i use mobile a lot and hate sidebars on mobile. atlas in the jcink creators corner server has a great CSS carousel code and I used that here - chef kiss & thank you!
the red overlay is a big throwback to halys’s OG skin, which was almost two full fuckin years ago now. i weep, my baby grew up so fast
top bar - we’ll see how this fares in practical use; it seems a little cluttered to me but most people who aren’t staff will have more space in the bar, so it won’t feel so cramped! top bar is sticky once you scroll past the header.
index is pretty simple and reminds me of our OG skin’s index. that’s all fine with me - i write on mobile a lot and so bells and whistles are more a nuisance than a treat! i used :last-child for the first time here and was very proud of myself
board stats - designing these is easy. getting the recent topics clip to look the way you want, placed where you want, is a motherfucker. did the very scientific method here of “place at random until it magically goes where you wanted it to.” my original design had the red as the bg for stats; this is easier to read, though i’ll probably change some group colors eventually.
i’m really happy with this so far! next up: post row and mini profile, which is usually the first idea i have for a skin concept but i got nothing for this one lmao. rip!
