I said that the links at the bottom of the page should say first page/last page since it went to the top of the last page, not to the last post. If we do change it back to First / Last page - which I agree is probably more useful - maybe we should swap out those words for the |<< (Refresh arrows) >>| icons for consistency?

Regular Nintendo posted:On the color front, imo the color diff between a read post and unread one on the alternate theme in dark mode is way too small Maybe the value #00142b would be good for unread. It's a similar brightness but the same level of saturation and same hue as the top two bars.  Before / After Also, one more colour thing that should be changed is the background black should be changed to proper #000000 black for the OLED iPhone X, it's currently #060606.

Zenostein posted:This is a pretty minor thing, but is there any chance you can tweak the bookmark colors? Using the white theme, it’s pretty difficult to read the unread post count for anything bookmarked yellow. I reckon all the yellows in app should be the same as the stars on the forum list - #ffcd00 - which are slightly darker than the current yellow used for the bookmark numbers. If we could change the stickied thread corner triangles to this value too that'd be good for consistency.

Do you think as a compromise we could remove the notification badge from the forums icon, and change the star color on the forum menu to that same red? It's the nagging feeling I get from the notification that I need to do something that irks me. I'd be at peace with them showing up in the forum list if they were more distinguishable from the starred threads I think.

Also maybe the 'Joined 08/10/2004' bit under the usernames could be switched to how it displays in the desktop forums - 'Oct 08, 2004' and given a bit more spacing below the username. It's a bit more compact that way and cleaner. spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Oct 22, 2017 |

pokeyman posted:It occurs to me we should probably take a look at our dark theme(s) and tweak them for iPhone X's OLED screen. Or maybe we make a dedicated iPhone X theme. Somehow I doubt iPhone X will be Apple's last OLED phone so it'll come in handy down the road. I made a post a while back with some suggestions for color values with that and last read in mind that'd be good to test. A seperate idea for the UI I thought could look good is a slight rounding of the corners of each post, it'd fit a bit more into the look of ios11 (in a good way!) and help to seperate posts at a glance as you scroll.

The Wikipedia app just got an update with a Black theme for OLED displays that looks pretty good, maybe we could rip that off for our iPhone X theme? The main difference between that and ours is making the background of the post body black rather than the spaces between posts. They also made their page header a dark grey which looks great too IMO.

pokeyman posted:I'm on board. I also kinda wanna do the light switch gesture (to turn dark mode on/off) now that I'm aware of its existence in an app I use (Overcast, who I believe took it from one of the Twitter apps). I don't know what this light switch gesture is but it sounds cool. Here's a mock up I made for an OLED theme in thread view:  It's mostly all 000000 black. The dividing lines are 1a1a1a gray, and I gave them rounded edges so they'd melt into the OLED more. Text color values are all the same as before in this image but I think the link blue color should be brightened to 0066ff. The background for the Parent Forum | Previous Posts | End of Page buttons could be 1a1a1a also. spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Dec 30, 2017 |

Hey I've done some  tweaks to some of the app icons here. They were incorrectly scaled before resulting in some fringing artifacts wherever 2 colours would meet. That's been fixed along with some tiny changes to  and  . I've also made some dark backdrop versions of  and the gold icon.Finally, the list icons for larger devices has been redrawn as there was an error in there. Can someone please drop these into the app? Thanks!

carry on then posted:there's no new dark mode that i'm aware of I posted some colour values for a future black OLED mode a while back that are probably on a list somewhere. Maybe obi_ant means the dark mode with alt app theme? I do think that in addition to a new iPhone X theme we may as well swap out the current (very close to) black (#060606) with absolute (#000000) black on the dark mode already in the app. I don't know about coding but could that be accomplished with a find / replace? carry on then posted:Done. I also fixed the icon gallery's background in dark mode. Thanks!

I normally read towards the top of a page. I think this would be different for everyone. How about the last post has say, half a screen of blank space underneath it. Like a buffer that you need to scroll through before beginning the pull to next page trigger. I think that absence of text would be visible enough in the peripheral vision for the user to realise they've reached the end so they'd be more conscious of scrolling further. Like how it is when you open a previously read thread and there are only 1/2 posts left.

When browsing on iPad with a keyboard I hit the space bar to jump down the thread a bit. Quite often this stops working - it can be if I look at an image full screen, or click a link then return. I've noticed that I can (sort of inconsistently) get the space bar working again by pressing various buttons in the thread (thread settings, share button, (...) button. If I mash these buttons on and off enough eventually the keyboard has an effect again. It feels similar to if a window on a desktop loses focus or something. Would be great if this didn't happen but realise it's a bit of an edge case.

Hey I'm procrastinating again which means I've given the app icons and main throbber an overhaul. Little tweaks where I can to simplify them and clean them up. If someone could try popping them in an upcoming beta for a test spin that would be rad. Here they are. All the dimensions and naming should be the same except for the blue circled ones that look like this:  These ones I've upped the dimensions from 64x64/96x96 to 72x72/108x108.

pokeyman posted:There's also "forwarded". I stole them from the site proper, assuming that people would know what they meant in that case (if they know at all), but I'm open to new icons. Hey, I've made these now. They're named unread-msg, read-msg, rep-msg and fwd-msg. (In the 2x & 3x folders) I've also made changes to the others in the set (still same naming and dimensions) so if you could pop those into the next beta that'd be great! e: Some other things - Share URL could maybe just be Share. I've changed that icon to the more typical share icon.

pokeyman posted:Not sure about this particular one but I'm always on board with goofy animations for things. Where else in the app could we have unique animations? I made some others a while ago we could try implementing. I think the and  work well in their current places (loading threads/loading thread lists.) I thought the tick when you add a bookmark could be replaced with an animating tick on the book icon. Removing a mark could have the cross on a book (currently does another tick I think.)Just previewing this post now and there's a blank screen for a second. Maybe one can go there? Top priority would probably be a satisfying animation for when you make a post. I'm always willing to add new app icons. Not all of smilies translate well though.

pokeyman posted:Any screens that just stay blank while loading are bugs, we should fix those (custom animation or not). Oh yeah that's a cool idea. So you mean like if you hit the Post Settings button in the lower left the circular switches would swap places or something? At the moment those bottom corner buttons (and the ... button) are obscured a bit by the 'tab' of the bubble that appears. I feel like that interface needs to be updated a bit - like maybe the background could dim more and blur out to emphasise the new window in the foreground. At the same time the button pressed could remain at full brightness and animate to its active state. Could also remove that little tab on the bubble. spanky the dolphin fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Jul 26, 2018 |

I've made a new folder here. Inside I've got some new things. Animation for Bookmarking a thread:  Animation for UnBookmarking a thread:  I've made a new 'default-tag' for PM's, that should look like this when put in:  It will need to shift in colour based on the app theme. A new 'no-tag' for the ones currently without created tag art. It will also need to shift in colour based on the app theme. The existing one looks like this:  A new ignore icon so we don't have the same icon for 'ignore user' and 'mark unread' Also included the aforementioned copy-url@#x.png for easy access. This one needs to be used for 'Share'

pokeyman posted:These look great, and it's no trouble to have them match the app theme, but they're 40x40 points and the actual tags are all 45x45 points. Do you mind booping the no-tags out a bit? Thanks! Here are some updated ones that should work. In the 2x / 3x folders We're currently using the 'share' box-with-arrow-coming-out for post options, and it seems weird to hit that icon and have the same icon appear within that next menu. I've switched it back to the previously used chain link, which I've seen used by Apple somewhere before. Also tweaked some others. pokeyman posted:I was picturing the button in the popover itself would turn into a spinner. Something like: Okay, so you'd need 3 new animations then I think - a spinner that occupies the same space / shape as the circular icons, then a 'success' and 'failure' animation that (as seamlessly as possible) carries on from the spinner. Do you think I should make these at the same dimensions or would it be possible / a good idea to make them at say, double the size so you could make them expand and center on screen once pressed?

I think I'll need to make the 'no thread tag' look more generic. Currently gives off too much of a something has gone wrong vibe. Could we maybe look at combining the existing theme options into a more concise menu that we could add an OLED one to? Rather than splitting light, dark and having an alt switch it could be arranged like OG light / OG dark / Alt Light / Alt Dark / OLED. Shown as themed circles ala the 'style' menu in thread settings.

The Dave posted:Yeah I think the problem is the new no thread tag look is based on the icons, so it's a mis-match with the other thread tags and it stands out because of it. The goal isn't really to stand out and say "This tag doesn't work!" it's more so to blend in with the other tags when there is a problem. The original idea was it would blend in with the other thread tags but act as a to-do for Diabolik and me. Yeah maybe one of these would work better? Or - and here's a thought I just had - What if it's whatever you set your app icon to?   The Dave posted:Honestly maintaining OG & Alt themes just seems silly. They're so similiar and I get you didn't want to step on any toes when you first did it but rip the band aid off. I personally like the OG more and want duller colors when I'm using the dark theme in low light but it's such a minor change people will adapt. I think this is a real good idea. I remember when I used the Android app you could choose heaps of the colours and it was great customisation but way too many options. I said a while ago it'd be cool if you could choose the accent colour and the app would auto lighten / darken it in certain places where required, like the 'Parent Forum, Scroll To End...' menu would be the user selected accent colour + a semi transparent layer of black on top to dim it. All the non accent colours could be neutral / grayscale so any colour you chose would look pretty good. The Dave posted:This mock up is a little chaotic but it's trying to show off a couple of things, I think in regular use and in the middle of threads it would be super clean: I really like most of the changes / features you put in here. The small, cropped thread titles have always been a bit annoying so the extra space is good - I do feel like a the post button should be one-tap away rather than (I assume) put in a menu somewhere. The page progress bar would be awesome to have. Also using that End of Thread section as a functional space is dope.

The Dave posted:Yeah it’s the catch of making that area bigger. My idea was the bottom right becomes a catch all three actions menu that includes reply. Also liked moving that action towards the bottom of the screen so then there’s nothing relying on the top bar and making everything very reachable. The Dave posted:Idea no one will like: reply as a 3D Touch shortcut option on that button. I don't think anyone would ever find that feature but it's not a terrible idea.

The Dave posted:I'm just noticing maybe the thread tag is stretched on that menu? Whatever this is supposed to be rough. It feels like it's doubling up information to me cause the thread title is already at the top of the screen. I guess it is sometimes truncated up top so there is a benefit to it. Could it be reduced in scale a bit maybe? I like the idea for user clicking. Like a mini profile page almost. The Dave posted:Not obvious, but I'm using the quote mark as a button to jump to the quoted post. Arguably does not have to be blue. Oh this is actually pretty rad then. Ignore me. The Dave posted:Oh no. I'm just using Font Awesome 5 to have something quick to put in these mock ups, no intention to redesign the solid work you've done but too lazy to manage them in my sketch file right now. Phew! I think the new post time placement is good but they seem too prominent now. Could they be a bit smaller perhaps? Maybe am/pm could be lowercase with a space between the number and am/pm to make it less shouty.

Thanks for the kind icon feedback! The pull for next page seems better than before on the Xs. Once triggered though it takes a lot of movement back up the page to disable the trigger, if that makes sense. Also, is it possible to give a haptic mini vibration on trigger? That would really level it up.
