[Announcement] Doing a Style Purge!!

[Dave]

Okay, due to space and memory issues, I'm going to be doing a purge of some of the little-used styles. What I did was I looked at the styles that were used in the last 180 days and determined which ones were being utilized and which were not. Here's the findings.

That's

• XenBlue (default) - 167
• Social - 11
• Animate - 9
• Blackend-Blue - 6
• Blackend - 4
• Blackend-Purple - 4
• Blackend-Green - 3
• Blackend-Red - 3
• XenMobile - 3
• XenMinimal - 3

Whenever I have to do anything it has to go through each of these, which takes resources and time. I will probably be getting rid of ALL the Blackend styles. I'm keeping Social, Animate, XenMobile (mainly because I don't know if this helps people surf mobile) and XenMinimal. I'm keeping XenMinimal because there are a few people who have to use it or risk getting into trouble at work.

I'll be doing these changes probably tomorrow. Speak now or forever hold your peace!

 

[Krisken]

Fuck.

You realize if you combine all the Blackened styles into one, they come in second, eh?

 

[Hylian]

I would like to request if you could keep at least one of the blackened styles, although I will understand completely if you do not.

 

[GasBandit]

I need a blackend style. Naturally I prefer blue, but it's not the end of the world if I get stuck with red, yellow, green or purple.

 

[Dave]

The biggest problem with the blackend styles is that they each count as a completely different style. And you have to have the main blackend if you want the colors. I'd be willing to keep blackend itself and maybe change up the colors a bit. I'm not trying to be difficult, I swear. I'm trying to get the software moving faster, which is why I'm doing all of this stuff.[DOUBLEPOST=1367959475][/DOUBLEPOST]One more thing, I've finished with all the updates. If you still see something wonky on your style, please let me know.

 

[GasBandit]

I'm fine with regular blackend (which is really "Blackend-yellow"), I just took blue as a personal preference over yellow. But blue's not a dealbreaker.

 

[Dave]

I wonder if I can fool the system by doing some renaming.

 

[Krisken]

Just don't dump all the blackened. I'd be willing to have the plain old blackened if it came to that. I really, really don't want to go back to the horrible bright screens!

 

[Hylian]

If it needs to be the main blackened style that is fine of course if there was a way to edit the colors to something other than yellow that would be extra nice but not necessary.

 

[Gilgamesh]

Honestly I don't care which blackened it is as long as there's one, I'm happy with there just being one to help you out.

 

[fade]

I'm glad you're keeping Minimal. I don't like all that clutter, and I'm not a fan of dark websites. They look like they crawled out of the 90s to me.

 

[sixpackshaker]

I am another that loves minimal, but now it is showing signatures.

 

[Chad Sexington]

Should be able to turn this off in preferences.

 

[AshburnerX]

Yeah, I second a blackend style. I can't read the normal one very well.

 

[Ravenpoe]

Animate looks all weird now and I don't even know what changed. It's just ever so slightly different, and like most Americans I both fear and loathe change.

I had to do some reverting of styles when I upgraded. If you could tell me exactly what is wrong or different I could try and fix it.

Compare it to claninexile.com the top bar is... Wrong I guess

There's an outline around all of the text boxes now that isn't really intruding on anything, but it's kinda off. I don't really know what the original looked like, I didn't know there'd be a memory test, I just know it's weird to suddenly see it slightly different.

Also, it doesn't animate anymore.

 

[CrimsonSoul]

Also, it doesn't animate anymore.

KKKKKKHHHHHAAAAANNNNNN!!!!

 

[Dave]

I have to update the Animate to the 1.1.4 version. I will be removing it and reinstalling the new version like...now.

 

[David]

+1 to the please keep at least one blackend. Been using Purple since it's been available, definitely feels easiest on the eyes for me.

 

[Dave]

I'll be keeping Blackend. Probably the blue. I fracking hate yellow styles.[DOUBLEPOST=1367981379][/DOUBLEPOST]The new Animate doesn't like my header image. If I remember correctly, it's hardcoded. Fuck I hate that. Now I have to find it.

 

[Krisken]

I can handle that. I switched over to blackened blue now (from green).

 

[Dave]

Well crap. I tried to do just Blackend-Blue and moved it under the default...but the system didn't like that. Putting it back.

Animate - 9

MY BROTHAS!

 

[Hylian]

Thank you for keeping a blackened style

 

[Krisken]

Harumph.

 

[CrimsonSoul]

Animate - 9

MY BROTHAS!

Yeah yeah,

 

[Dave]

CrimsonSoul, do you know where I change the logo in Animate? I can't find the damned thing!

[Dave]

Oooh! That's a Bingo!

Is that how you say it?

 

[Ravenpoe]

Animate looks awesome again. All is well. Thanks Dave

 

[CrimsonSoul]

Oooh! That's a Bingo!

Is that how you say it?

Also, Dave there's a resource on the xenforo site that makes it where when you install/upgrade an add on it will only update the resources that have to be updated instead of all of the resources

 

[SpecialKO]

The topic title says "purge" in it and there have been no 40K references yet. Halforums, I am disappoint.

 

[Espy]

All the blackend folks know Animate is a dark theme right? It's miles better.
