WTF?
I didn't feel like posting in the dev thread since I'm not developing, but what all was changed in the layout for Lollipop+? All I noticed was colored nav/notification bars.

You mean specifically for lollipop? Most stuff works on older versions of Android because of the support library. If you mean what changed in the material update, then drat son

I'm not entirely sure if I'm in the beta or not (applied as a tester, thing said it should update Awful, checked the Google store and Awful had an update, not sure if that was simple coincidence), but I think the bottom navigation bar is a brighter shade of blue than the top one. It pulls my eye away from the posts/top bar.

I wish I could at least toggle whether the notification bar took on the theme colors. Specifically because of this:



That's real hard on the eyes, and with the status bar and the top part of the app being blue only makes it worse. (I know, I could just use a different theme. But I don't want to!)

Ohhh I see, secret extra changes out of nowhere!

Yeah when I played with the nav bar I had it using the same colours as the action bar, so it follows the theme. Themes are a bit wacky unfortunately, so the colours as they are don't always work in every situation (like for heading text in the settings)

e- wait I'm not even seeing this, what's the deal

I made a new branch before compiling, haven't merged it into master or even pushed it to main.

The need to turn it off requires a different implementation anyway.

I can't even remember if I'm on the beta or not. Probably be nice to have some indication in-app of that.

Today, I entered a YOSPOS thread from my bookmarks, and it didn't get the YOSPOS theme. Then the next several threads from my bookmarks, which was not in YOSPOS, did get the YOSPOS theme. After 2 or 3 threads, it fixed itself.

I note that sometimes when I go to a yospos/byob thread from my bookmarks, the page I land on won't be in the appropriate theme, and it fixes itself when I load the next one.

That looks pretty ugly. Nav bar should be transparent with a gradient when you have a full-bleed image in the background (launchers, basically), or otherwise solid black.

Not just you. It turns the background black and toggles the background properly (try it on a read post, it's subtle but there) but the text stays white whether the spoiler is toggled or not.

This sentence is in a spoiler block.

Let me flail blindy for a bit.

e: I had it working but it didn't turn the text the correct color for read posts, and I decided it was good enough. I can't actually use CSS at all. :sigh:

eee: This should have functional spoilers, I tested it here. Tell me what you find.

eeeeeee: So, the .bbc_spoiler block previously in mine was identical to the block in the stock dark theme, but I had to add color: transparent; to the hidden state to make it work. I'm mystified.

You need to make sure it's named something.dark.css so the app knows it's a dark theme.

Any chance there's a fix for the flash to white when first loading the app? It's terrible going from a dark-ish background/app launcher to bright white then back to my dark theme. Thanks.

I have a request.

Image attachments are currently linked rather than displayed like other images. Would it be possible to show them inline like other images?

I'm using version 3.2.0.9b.

I attached a picture as an example.

Doesn't work for me, either. I just see a link to the attachment.

I played with the settings to make sure I wasn't insane. It looks like "Hide old images" is why image attachments are displayed as links for me.

These were my settings:



I marked this page of the thread unread and scrolled down:



There is no option to show it inline like with the imgur link you posted.



Again, marking this page unread with "Hide old images" disabled:

Oh I see ya. That should be fixed, either in beta now or soon. I don't really know how you can tell if you're on beta, that's Sereri's jam

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it until you get the fix, some networking stuff had to be replaced and it caused that behaviour

Maybe I'm just dense (probably) but I'm not seeing a way to browse to any forums that are two levels deep. The main forums and sub forums are fine, but anything further is just not there, unless you happen to have a bookmarked thread already in one of those forums, in which case you can go there and then up from it to reach the sub sub forum in question.

Not on a beta version, just the play store version.
