thread icons with more contrast
« on: Wed, 15 August 2012, 16:25:25 »
I tend to read the thread where I posted/contributed. And currently those thread are distinguished by small icon, which in my opinion lacks contrast to distinguish them from others. I think more contrast would be better for better viewing experience. Maybe different color or bigger icon?

Here is what I mean.


I am going to attach two versions of the icon gifs that I used in case you are interested in using them.

Done.  I had to edit 12 icons across 3 themes, but there you go.

it's almost as if all the themes should inherit from some... "default" theme...

to all the brilliant friends who have left us, and all the students who climb on their shoulders.

Well, the icons may be different for the different color schemes.  I orangified a lot of the ones there were blue in default, but many I haven't changed.  Indeed, it would be nice if they worked like more of an overlay.

Thank you very much for the update. It is much better!!!

Just one more thing. Could you change the icons where there are a lot of pages? A group buy section is where there are plenty of thread with many many posts. I would like the group buys that I participated to stand out from the rest.

Thank you again.


Edit: My suggestion was accepted and the icons are now more distinguishable. Thank you very much!
