Title: Something changed!
Post by: Spectere on December 18, 2011, 12:21:35 AM
I made a change to a part of the site that hasn't changed significantly in at least two years.

The first person to post what changed gets a virtual cookie (and bonus points if you can point out exactly what changed)!

I.... Actually can't tell. I don't see anything different on the main page, and there's no blog posts up. Did you change the theme of the blog section? I don't remember what it looked like before...

I think my cache had to clear to see that.

To be more specific, the linear gradient you added., because I'm pretty damned sure that wasnt there before (I didn't think it was that easy to implement, yet, either.)

Yeah, CSS3 is pretty neat-o.

There are a couple more things.  One is very subtle (you wouldn't really notice it unless you regularly use an OS with a chunky font like Bitstream Vera), the other isn't quite as subtle.

Well, I noticed the font was a bit different, but for a while I had chrome using a custom font overriding some stuff, so I never even thought about it being different.

I take it the #vert-hoz is new as well?

Yep, it's a different font.  I've turned into a Segoe-tard recently.  It also has a fallback to the Windows Phone version of Segoe, then Calibri, if it can't find either of those, then it just calls back to the standard sans-serif definition.  Arial is so 90's.

The #vert-hoz stuff has been there ever since the "choose your destiny" page was put up.  That's what centers the box vertically.

Oh!  There are also a couple more changes.  They are incredibly itty-bitty, but do a lot to prevent the page from coming up with scrollbars.

Ahh, it's not like I've been digging in the css file for fun at random times lol.

Code: [Select]
html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}

looks like it was used to make sure the gradient worked right. Would that also maybe affect page scrollbars?

Code: [Select]
overflow: auto;/* allow content to scroll inside element */

Pretty sure that allows the font in the box to cause a scrollbar on the box... Don't know if that would have any bearing on the page scrollbars.

Correct on the first, but the second has always been there.  It has to be, otherwise shit would get borked if the OS were using a large font.

Do note that one of the changes is in the HTML file itself.

I have no damned idea, lol.

Also, as a side note, I like chrome's text colors for viewing page sources... It's just too bad it doesn't also apply to things like CSS and javascript.
