[ABD] Concept...

turns out that chrome has issues with higher resolutions. i lowered mine and everything renders fine now. just really odd how chrome has this issue when nothing else does

Are you using an HD monitor, or simply a large screen? Mine is 2560 x 1440 and 32" (about 93px/inch IIRC).

i use a 32" 1080p widescreen.

the issue is with chrome not being able to render at the higher resolution like other browsers. i was using 1920x1080. i know for a fact that the issue is not a hardware or software problem in my pc. but the problem is solved for now simply using a lower resolution

[Gumboots]

Sounds odd, because I'm running a much higher resolution (78% more pixels to process) and it was fine with Chrome on my box.

[Fix] Blurry Text and Font Display Problems in Google Chrome

Many times Google Chrome users face weird text and fonts display problems. The text looks blurry, fuzzy or zoomed in on websites and in browser UI such as menubar, toolbars, etc. Also users face various font related issues such as very hard to read fonts, text not displaying correctly on websites and sometimes the fonts look pixelated and very bad. Most of the times these fonts and text related issues occur on Windows operating system.

I usually use an older but extremely good office display, with equally good graphics card. We used to work with whatever browser we wanted. Since about a year we have to use Chrome. But I can no longer work from morning to night with hardly any breaks. The sofware is just bad looking for sensitive eyes in Chrome. The writing is no longer as clear as before. Win10 pro / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / Display 1920 x 1200 (60 Hz)

I also had to make new adjustments to my styles for more complicated things because it didn't look good in Chrome. And this in my 1920x1200 display! But in Win10 operating System. But with inserted pictures and borders, I had so far no problems. However, it seems to be a problem of interaction between Windows 10 and Chrome in some PC configurations.

getting quite a bit done lately

i think i have most of it close. finally got some buttons done. they are pretty simple and i think they don't look too bad

still undecided as to put in my menu bar or leave the default phpBB menu... decisions

[spaceace]

i think i'm getting close to being done with the basics

i still have to get the responsive stuff in place so none of that has even been started yet

and i'm not putting in the original menu that was in this style

first post updated with a download link

currently working on the stylesheets. yes, the way phpBB has all 17 of them, they are easy to read. but what a mess with one element that overrides another over and over which makes everything difficult to make changes.

then there's to minify or not...

i'm choosing to not minify anything. reason is that yes, file size is smaller, pages load faster, and bandwidth is lower. in this day and age, none of that really matters when a page will load in less than 1 second making all the minification work just to gain milliseconds. also, minified stuff is just harder to work with as you have to make a change and then compile it and test it, when just using normal css, you make a change and test... done. i read somewhere here that it's spending dollars just to make cents to minify.

by simply removing all of the comments from one of the css files i have reduced it's file size from just under 8KB to under 3KB. that alone is a huge difference even when what i'm talking about is very small

i'm putting everything into 1 file, minus the print.css, plupload.css, etc., which are only loaded when needed, to reduce the calls for files by a lot. yes, 1 larger file versus many smaller ones will load faster in my opinion.

i have a long way to go to get this done now

edit: just a quick example of things in 1 file overriding something in another...
in the first css file called from stylesheet.css, the stylesheet named normalize.css under h1
margin is set to this

Code: Select all

margin: 0.67em 0;

the second stylesheet called base.css, overrides this already with

Code: Select all

blockquote,
dl,
dd,
h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6,
figure,
p,
pre { margin: 0 }

that is just 1 example from the first 2 files called. i'd say it's pretty messy to say the least when it's done this way

One should leave everything as it is. Only the color.css and responsive.css insert in your style.css. Then you can insert all your changes in the color.css inserted in your style. The responsive.css I insert in the style.css meanwhile, because otherwise in complicated styles my responsive change does not always work in a style with one css.
With the styles that contain prosilver in the style name, I had the problem that my online.png / online.gif was not accepted but the standard image of the prosilver was shown. It only works if I put my image into the image folder.

In any case I would never add the base.css to my style.css It usually doesn't grabs at all anyway. Respective is overwritten in other files.

I don't think that there will be major changes in the prosilver.css files before phpBB 4.0.0. But who knows that for sure! Then you will have to put them all into your style.css. I would never be finished if I put all css files of the prosilver into my style.css!

Hello,

base.css
Webbrowser have to interpret the characteristic the CSS different. Thus a Website nevertheless in all Browsern - or at least very similarly - looks alike, therefore a CSS RESET in such a way specified is usually used.

normalize.css
Is a solid starting point offers for Web projects. Overall all characteristics are not resettet, but the characteristics are standardized.

I had definitely not written that well. I meant that I would not add the base.css to my style.css but leave it as a separate base.css.
