2018-07-30 at 8:11 AM UTCYeah, themes (which is the only way you're getting a space background because that shit's getting relegated to a non-default theme. Especially if it's animated) have been on the todo list for a long time now and I've made a couple stabs at it but haven't gotten very far. Think I even told you (Enter) that I was going to see about working on it in the next week like months or years ago. Ooops.
CSS is kinda fiddly work, it can be kinda fun at times but also super tedious at others. There have also been issues beyond motivation getting in the way. I deliberately designed the code with only a minimal consideration towards multiple themes because that's a cheap way to get UI changes out the door faster and in the early days when the codebase was under heavy development and also deployed in production it was one of the least important things (remember, the site didn't have subscriptions, private messages, or admin tools worth a damn when we first moved over from vB). Also every theme you add means each UI change requires another test case (or realistically speaking requires me pushing it to prod while drunk and waiting to see what it broke). Also also theme support is a little wonky in the setup I have, surprisingly it took some fairly deep magicks to produce separate themes that were relatively well optimized.
AAAAAnyway, even though I said something similar last time, I did make some progress on the themes front this weekend and am hoping (although not promising) to get the site's second theme up by the end of next weekend. Probably going to be something taking influence from print media and a lot less colorful than the current one, mostly because I think this site looks a bit suspicious when I'm reading it at work. But once those kinks are worked out a space theme hopefully won't be too hard. PoC image, know it looks like hot shit right now but it's actually significant:
IN FACT if you have any CSS skills you could help write your space theme RIGHT NOW on this feature branch: https://github.com/RyanJenkins/ISS/tree/themes
I know you won't, but I get to revoke your license to complain if you're unwilling to help.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-07-30 at 8:13 AM UTCLol has anyone other clicked on your github and actually helped this site, at all? Aldra and Sophie are the only two thst I think even might have, maybe, MAYBE.

I have to learn CSS later this semester, so that might actually be a fun project one day soon. The less conspicuous theme you have there is looking good. -

Well, most people will be using the space theme once I make it. -

Sophie has code that's running right now, aldra has threatened to contribute and I would love to see that happen, I'm sure he's capable of it if he can muster the motivation to dive into a mid sized codebase, contribution to which carries next to no potential of monetary or reputational reward.
Mostly I point it out because people tend to take "if you want this feature you can go write it yourself" better than "no, I'm not going to take time out of my day to add your stupid feature". But also a little bit because I think self taught programmers stand to benefit a lot from jumping into a codebase they didn't start and going through the process of understanding it. There's a big difference between doing tutorials or writing personal projects and working in a codebase that has a live deployment and involves working with other developers. Exposure to that can be kinda scary (it was for me) but it's a valuable experience and I'd be happy if I could help someone over that particular hurdle.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

That's motivating. I'll definitely be making something soon. -

Go for it my dude. The setup instructions might be a bit out of date so if you run into any problems feel free to reach out, there's a good chance it was me changing something and not documenting it but even if it's not I've always got time to help people learn. -
2018-07-30 at 8:30 AM UTCokay thanks feel free to drop ur # and ill ask you for a whole heap of help along the way otherwise don't expect to give any creative input

It's an evolution of the existing emojie list ( which looks like a crusty zoklet rip ) , but with higher-quality smilies which I will hand-select from the finest stock using good MOON PERSON sensibilities and down-home quality editing.
