We need to change the colors of upvotes and downvotes on the forums

I feel that the forums might have this more lively atmosphere if we added back our colors to upvoting and downvoting. It will make it much easier to identify a good or bad post rather than look for a tiny negative sign.

Something super subtle might be ideal, rather than bright Christmas colors. I don't think it's necessarily an issue right now (there are a lot of other aesthetic things I have a huge issue with), but it could be nice to be able to tell at a glance which posts are positive and negative.

It could even be on a gradient, actually. I'm not sure what sort of posting impacts something like this might have, but imagine a situation where the number gets more and more deeply colored (either green or red) depending on the number of votes in either direction. If it's under 5 up/down it would barely be noticeable, whereas something with 700 upvotes would be bright green.

Impressive, doing that with paint!

Can I suggest using Gimp? It's like a free (in both senses of the word) version of photoshop. It has a TON of features so it can be difficult to pick up at first, but it makes things like this super easy.

It's not like he is trying to be an artist.

As someone who's made a lot of mockups, I know that making a mockup look as nice as the one OP made, in paint, is really difficult. I was suggesting that OP could get the same/better results, faster, with less effort, using GIMP instead of paint.

It was an honest suggestion, not a slight on OP's work. I haven't decided whether I'd like the idea implemented or not, but the mockup is really nice.

I do have gimp, but it actually takes forever to start up for me, while paint is simple and easy to use.

Thanks for the suggestion though lol.

This change can help:

From:

.box.main { background-color: #021B20; } .box.secondary { rgb(3,35,42); } '#comments { padding: 0px 10px; }

To:

.box.main { background-color: rgba(2,27,32,0.5); } .box.secondary { rgba(3,35,42,0.5); } '#comments { padding: 0px 10px; }

Without a mockup it's difficult for many people to know what you're referring to.

It seems to be logical that a discussion towards design includes the basics towards html & css.

For user that don't known what I'm talking about. If you are using Chrome: Press "CTRL+SHIFT+I" to open the DevTools Window. More info you can find here.

...right, but in reading that code it looks like you're talking about the background colors. This thread is about the color of the text involved in voting.

Like Fek already does for us?

Arduno is correct, if you get FEK it will do exactly what you want.

There are also avatars too; here's the thread for it:
