Sneak Peak of the new Subreddit Theme

http://i.imgur.com/mdYfNOo.png

I was originally planning on having a somewhat complete and presentable progress update, however I've been running into a few obstacles, and its been taking a while. Since you guys have been waiting long enough, I figure something incomplete is better than waiting a whole lot longer.

Feel free to ask questions/post concerns/suggestions!

Off the bat:

  • Snoo will more likely be removed from where it is shown right now. The color doesn't match that well with the new shade of blue, so I am looking into finding somewhere else to incorporate it. As for that tab bit, it will either be removed as well, or if I find a suitable icon to put there, that's what it will be.
  • Post title and links are yet to be formatted.
  • You won't see the link flair textboxes in the final product.
  • There will be a Runescape logo up at the top.

Doesn't appeal to my eyes, sorry. Simply stating my opinion.

Remember there will also be a white/grey version once it is completed, if that appeals more?

"I hate this subreddit's new style. It doesn't need to change at all, nobody wants it. The mods are dumb.

Give us an option to use the old, 2k14 style!!!"

I know its intentional but whenever I see someone say 2k12 or so instead of 2012 I just can't stop to facepalm

it hurts... It hurts so much

At least we don't see numbers like 5b140m74k553.

But k is so much more convenient than 0, we take our efficiency seriously.

Can you make the posts take less space, shrinking those icon thingies. You've increased the size of every post by 50% with the massive icons.

You won't see the link flair textboxes in the final product.

Am concerned.

photo/video/twitch links

Are you really going to leave them with the template icon? It seems like you've removed all evidence of previews/personalized posts in that skin.

mobile

Currently, there's a LOT of space waste, like small up/down vote links and the sidebar, like so. Here's hoping things can be sorted with the new style.

link flair boxes

Mobile Applications: Textboxes will still be visible.
Desktop Browsers: Maybe we can do a show-on-title-hover for that, if lots of people are having a hard time recognizing the icons?

photo/video/twitch links

Issue is with oddly shaped preview images and that they would look absolutely terrible with the theme.

personalized posts

Can you elaborate on that, please?

Mobile

That's your browser's fault for making the text so large, and combined with the length of the posts, makes the post box enormous, making the voting icons appear small. I am unable to discriminate the type of device accessing the page, so I can't do anything about the text size.

Extreme noob at CSS here, but instead of px, maybe you could change the text size with em.

Too dark, i cant even read the titles too sorry.

Titles will be lighter colored.

Background honestly needs to be much lighter. Light background dark text is much easier to see, and reversing that just hurts to look at.

Link text color and visited link colors need to be brighter.

Love it. Very crisp design. You did a great job on this!

GabrieI•

With the changes you listed - I think it's really nice. Mainly the 'nested' vote buttons, the tabs and the simple icons. Good job!

DucBolducDon't listen to this guy/\/\•

Suggestion: Not sure if included in the "Post title and links are yet to be formatted." but the "Twitch" thing should blend in a bit more.

amnesiacgoldfishRSN: Bogentze•

The new/top/wiki/etc tabs should have some sort of divider between them. Makes it look cleaner. and...

Oh god, the clicked-link text colors...

Also, I agree with other posters that posts are too big, please considerably shrink the icons.

Loving the nice work

SonnkSonk•

I love it.

Change the colour of the links, though.

Also, the 'Hot', 'New', etc., font seems a little out of place, or just too generic of a font, try something else.

1
ethaskusOPI drew this•

As much as I would like to use a unique font, reddit styling does not allow me to embed custom fonts. So the only thing I can do is style it with standard fonts that can be found on most people's computers.

1
SonnkSonk•

Oh, man. That's lame. Perhaps try a sans-serif font instead of serif?
