New Look
Uh, I don't know how it looks on other browsers but it looks awfull on mine. Things don't line up. I believe we just cannot rely on dots for alignment, it would be a nightmare to have it work properply for everyone (different fonts and browsers). The origin tab also take quite a lot of horizontal space.
-Phoxtrot 10:00, 14 June 2008 (BST)
- What browser are you using? It looks fine in IE and Firefox.
— Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop Talk Message PM
I'm currently using Opera but it doesn't look fine on my explorer either. At least not with the font size I'm using just now. Whatever the browser, relying on '.' to line up is a no go : any control+wheel up/down on my mouse and the font size change and the alignment goes berserk.
-Phoxtrot 16:34, 14 June 2008 (BST)
- That's strange. I just tried IE, Firefox, and Opera and the only time I had any trouble was control+wheel-up in Firefox when it increased the font size faster than it increased the size of the table holding the stats. Everything else automatically adjusted properly for me. I guess the next question is what OS are you using and what is your system's default monospace font?
- On a side note, whatever happened with your ticket asking HCS to install Extension:ParserFunctions?
— Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop Talk Message PM
Well, no answer on the parser extension. I'm using WinXp (32bits) on a 1920*1200 resolution (With such a resolution, default size fonts is a big no... ). Using the whell to change fonts size, there is only one font size where things line up on my resolution (4 steps smaller than the font size I'm using).
-Phoxtrot 18:24, 14 June 2008 (BST)
- lol, with that kind of resolution, no wonder it looks messed up! I recommend you play around with the code in the page a little and see if you can come up with a solution. At the moment, I have it so it all fits in the same width as a window just wide enough to fit the game without a scrollbar across the bottom since I don't like having my browser maximized (I'm using 1280x800 on a laptop).

- I'll put in my own ticket about Extension:ParserFunctions. I played around with it and made a working template for the item pages.

NO! It doesn't look appealing...too much space between each one.
CHiNback - [ Talk - Message - PM ]
- In which way? Between the two columns or between the individual stats? So far this was actually the only way I could get it to scale properly. I guess I'll try putting each column into a div or something.
Between each stat, there's too much space, and plus, there's a box around it...imagine a set with a huge list of stats...
CHiNback - [ Talk - Message - PM ]
- How about this? It makes the code hard to read though.
