I've uploaded everything I had and now everyone should be able to use Cabonite as their skin if they so choose. Just head over to http://www.staredit.net/?p=settings to change it.

If anyone comes across any weird bugs or needed fixes, let me know here. I do know there's some issue with the menu in Chrome where the "Site" and "Favorites" tab lower a few pixels on hover, but that issue doesn't exist on Firefox. Hopefully DJC will know how to fix that.

Good to see that progress is being made, even if it's not a skin that I'd personally use. I'm sure some people will be glad to have it back!

By the way, what's up with the return of Augustgrad? There was some talk about it coming back in late August/early September, but only silence recently. And that's one I would use...

That I have no idea about. Apos is still working on it, I think, but I'm not sure if he finished it. As I recall I think he needed someone to upload it for him after Devourer left, so if that's the case I can get it loaded as soon as he sends it to me.

Feels just like old carbonite. I don't mind it too much, but as a default skin like payne suggested in the shoutbox? Not sure about that, the green is what makes SEN feel like home. Now, all we need is the red skin back and we'll be back in business!

Yeah, I think we're fine with Turtle as the default. I'm on and off working on a completely new skin based on the now dead StarEdit.tv project (dead because Devourer quit and no one else can code it), but I can try to do an Epic Red or redo Epic Purple.

The only thing I dislike about Turtle is its main-forum look.

Not very into the purple parts of it, they stand out too much over all the neutral colors. Just my opinion. Otherwise the skin is nice.

I fucking love you Devlin. Ahhh, the blessing of fixed-width goodness. However, the icon at the top...is it supposed to be old SEN's, or was that forgotten when remaking?

What parts look purple to you? I haven't changed any of the colors from the original Carbonite.

Which icon? The only think I changed on the header is the Marine and the 5.0 to 5.1.

Ah...well, if you can, you need to fix the "Site" link, it's borked. Picture coming.



I'm guessing that's because Carbonite used to have a separate header for Games, didn't it?

Yeah, I mentioned that in the OP. For some reason it looks messed up in Chrome, but it looks fine in Firefox. My hope is that it's just a CSS issue that David can fix eventually.

Well, if Carbonite is supposed to have the "Site" and "Favorites" links drop down and left about 5 pixels on hovering, remain there after you move your cursor off of the dropdown menu, then raise back up and to the right to its original spot as you mouse over where the dropdown is again, then ignore me. If not, then don't.

If you need me to, I can make a video but I deleted all of the capture software off of my computer, so I'd rather just make 3 or 4 pictures, if you need me to give evidence at all. Oh, and try it out on other browsers, I only use Chrome.

Actually, upon page loading, they are at that spot about 5 pixels down and left of their proper placement. Upon mousing over the main header it raises and shifts them into the slot they're supposed to be in, then does what I said above.

I'm confused, are you not reading what I'm saying? I keep saying that this is only an issue with Chrome. It looks perfect in at least Firefox. The CSS doesn't change the text's position on hover at all, hence why I keep saying I'd hope DJC can look at it.

I'm reading you, but your earlier post made it sound like the Games gap was mentioned, when it wasn't. And I'm just providing more information on a particular bug, I didn't realize that that was a problem. I even went to the trouble of making a video:



Although I don't see why I should even post this, because providing info just gets people madder at me.

The "Games" part also looks fine in Firefox. This is all just an issue with Chrome.

God damn! This sexy carbonite changes SEN from a lame turtle skinned site with a few downloads to a sexy forum with a still a few downloads! The changes are sexy and it makes me feel like typing the text in blue to match Carbonite's colour scheme. (Screw you, colour is Canadian spelling for color!)

Now how long before we have a 3D skin? (Quirky comment in regards to that 3D phase which will probably die before Christmas comes and be reborn five years later.)

The portal link is missing from the drop down menu. The text is too small for my bad eye sight. I had to ctrl+scroll up to enlarge the site some.

A couple forums are massively disfigured. For example: Serious Discussion and SCI Contestes. These occur where the header is stretched by the description/quick rules of the forum. I don't know if you can do anything about this short of removing the text.

EDIT: Redoing forum display icons.

What's wrong with the current ones?

The glow is kind of ugly, and the SCI icon has nothing to do with Brood War. I say we use something like this, except with alpha:


It's much clearer that it represents SCBW and not something else.

(Maybe give inactive icons 25-50% overall alpha so it looks more "faded out" and signals users that it's not active.)
