Voila!

body::after {
	content: "Background from ESA/Hubble";
}

Nope, the posts are fully opaque but we can set them to partially transparent with the rgb() color option and setting an alpha percentage.

The style pack has some options for playing with specific font colors, perhaps that will be useful? I’m not sure how to set it up to display differently on different pages. I should probably give the WordPress docs a more thorough look through

It’d be nice to add some shading to the headers and footers but I just looked at the selectors and they don’t seem to have classes or IDs but maybe it’s possible to adjust that in some way?

Edit:

Took another look and I can add shading to everything but the header over the breadcrumbs. Give me a bit! At some point, we may want to play with the blog area as well but we’ll get there!

😀 Give me a bit more! I’m flat out exhausted after the busy couple of weeks 😛

Which Phantom is that? A few different ones come up after a search

🙁 Hopefully they’ll be lenient!

Had to pull a kid away from the pond yesterday. He was throwing sticks at a gator and the gator wasn’t happy so it was swimming fast and making a beeline for the kid. I ran around the pond to get him as I was concerned the gator was about to attack.

And added! I went ahead and did it with CSS to make it easier to play with. I also set the height and width to 100% so that the background image will scale properly to the screens 🙂

We’re supposed to add ESA/Hubble somewhere on the page for attribution. Not sure of the best way to go about doing that

I think they wanted the colors to be slightly different for stylistic reasons but, honestly, my eyes can’t tell the difference even though the color codes are different. What color would go well with the background? I’ll play with adding some transparency to it as well 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Good idea. It’s also possible to load extra fonts through CSS but there may be some hiccups with that approach.

We may also want to change some of the font colors now that we have a background image. Black on black is, well, a bit difficult to read 😛

Another idea would be to add some shading to the back of the text by setting up an alpha channel for the backgrounds but that may require a lot of work to make sure we catch everything. I’ll need to look at the selectors when I get the chance

So I tried to add a background image following the steps here but it didn’t seem to go as planned. It only affected the home page and it only got some of it

I think I’ll cancel out the changes and do it via CSS as I find the editor a bit hard to use. 🙂

May I go ahead? Won’t take but a second. Just need to add the following:

body {
	backgound-image: <image>;
}

Edit:

Okay, changes have been backed out 🙂

That first one sure is relaxing!

Sounds? Sounds!

And music!

Haven’t had much chance to listen to much the last several weeks as there’s been a lot going on but hopefully I can catch back up starting in a few days!

Excellent. This topic will be handy!

Ublock Origin is mostly for web browsers but it does have things like hosts files that may be handy. 🙂

As we now have this topic, here are some good software lists for finding something specific:

Very handy!

They’re fun but they do have a few loose ends they don’t tie up, such as items getting misplaced and then inexplicably showing up again. 😛

Yep! The films feature music by John Williams. They’re also going to reboot the films in the form of a TV series. A lot of people aren’t thrilled with it but I welcome it! Perhaps it’ll help them become more accurate as they won’t need to cut out as much. The films cut out most of the sequences featuring the classes as they don’t have much bearing on the overall plotline but add a lot to the literary atmosphere but they should work better in a TV show format. I think a Potter MMO would go over quite well as the message in the books is predominantly one of friendship. There’s a lot they could do with an MMO format. Legacy does look like fun, though!

The William books look fun! Will see if I can get them on the e-reader!

The more the merrier! May start one up on Zelda when I get the new one installed 🙂

Huh, interesting. Not sure of a good way to design it. You definitely want it easy to trigger for an emergency but that can also lead to issues like that. :/

Yikes! Yeah, copying like that isn’t cool. It’s okay if it’s been heavily inspired but copying the exact structure and using similar phrasing is going a bit far. 🙁

Slumber Party Massacre was a riot! Worth every minute! 😀

Here are the selectors for the forum block backgrounds:

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd, #bbpress-forums div.even, #bbpress-forums ul.even

Bit of an odd way to set it up but that’ll allow us to modify the transparency. Still working on it!

They used zebra striping and used a slightly different hex notation so it may look a bit weird in the CSS. Probably a good idea to check the theme editor first

And I’ve set the attachment setting to fixed so the background doesn’t scroll off the page. 🙂

Yeah, it would be nice if each topic would start the posts at 1 and go from there. Bit of an odd choice

[Spastic Hamburger]

Here you go!

There’s also this one that works in tandem with it 🙂

Definitely. Don’t want to break things unless we need to! 😛

Finally got my order in for the new Zelda. Going to take a while to download as the Switch doesn’t usually like to download stuff while you’re playing another game (it does sometimes but usually doesn’t) and I like to keep it unplugged when I’m not using it

We need a thread for music!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Oh, this reference may prove useful 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Certainly! I just use the base settings but it’s got a lot of extra features, too. 🙂

Sounds good 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

I’d like to know how we’re at 268 when we don’t have that many posts. 😛

Yeah, on TAL, it would have required more work than it was worth to reset the numbering after the several database imports so we decided against it. That didn’t stop us from considering it from time to time, though. 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Hopefully they’ll get it worked on soon! There is an official plugin to add the previous post editor back into WordPress, maybe that will be helpful?

[Spastic Hamburger]

Caught Sleepaway Camp the other day and that was fun. Got Slumber Party Massacre on the docket for this weekend. It’s been on the watchlist for twenty years! 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yay! We’re back! Sorry! Google changed Chrome at some point so I was no longer able to override the block. Used to be under Advance but didn’t show up.

[Spastic Hamburger]

Crumpets!

Yeah, we’re going to need to ask for help again. Sorry, I’ve always been terrible at this sort of thing.
