It's a work in progress.

It's a work in progress.

Yes, but the good thing is... you're not only making progress, you're making QUICK progress! GREAT JOB!!!!

Which style and Light or Dark are you talking about? We have multiple views. 5 if I'm counting correctly.

How does one increase font size permanently? Thank you.

One does not. Messing with font-sizes at the theme level is crazy-hard to do and maintain layout-control in a cross-browser / cross-screen-resolution way. The best way to handle it is at the browser level.

CTRL-SHIFT = on a PC

CMD-SHIFT = on a Mac

I love the System/Light Orange is the New Blue that I have to keep checking to see if I'm on it, or the old Black-Orange! I am SOOOO happy! I was really not looking forward to the change until now.

Thank you SOO much for giving us the Orange is the New Blue option!!!

I think you're saying that there won't be a way for us to change our default font (color, font family, etc.), right? Bummer if so but I'll live. LOL

Another nit in any style choice... Something I've wished for a long time didn't work this way. And that's to turn links a different color like Google does with search results you've clicked on (from blue to purple, or whatever). Just show a looked at search result differently than the links not looked at thus far). When I'm checking search results out one by one it can be difficult to know which one I'm on after hitting the Back button to return to my list of Results.

As I said, it's a nit, but if it's easy....

Any chance of a slightly larger font?

Much harder to read this font size, I guess it’s time for new glasses!

 

[Tricia]

Hi Laura930!
I increase the size of my page to like 125%. That helps and it is cheaper than new glasses. LOL

 

[chaz]

I love the Orange Is The New Blue!
Can I keep it?
Please?
I'll be a good girl. I prommis!

@Curious Me .....thank you!

eta: i think we need a color choice between Dark and Light....jmo

 

[Gemmie]

This one is odd, @fraize. Again, I'm using Orange Is The New Blue w/ System/Light.

Alerts no longer show a different (orange) color for new unread ones. Here's an example of a thread I haven't been on since this alert happened. I've noticed it several times now. Was just waiting for a thread I wanted to use as an example. lol

But, the part I find odd is that new DMs (under the Envelope) DO show orange/different color for unread DMs. I don't want to miss any alerts so hoping this can be fixed! Knowing what's unread helps me keep track of where I am. And I've woken up some mornings to 3-4 pages worth of Alerts so it would be helpful to know what is the first unread one.

Thank you!

I like the orange is the new blue theme! I'll be using that if it stays.

And for an iPad? Probably have to use the drop down for each post? LOL

 

[Curious Me]

This one does matter. You can't see whose name your cursor is on when @Ing someone:

It took me several times to find her name due to that.

Curious Me here. I posted about my big family yesterday on another thread. I noticed there's a large family of "the Curious ones", but many were flighty and left WS, so I only get to see some of my family members on WS. @Gemmie, lucky you, there's only one of you.

Do you mean the feature where you start to type the profile name and this pops up? I'm in the middle, see my picture. Love that feature.

@fraize, I saw the surprise and it threw me off when I'm still getting used to the US time change. Thanks for all your hard work.

I’m not sure. I haven’t changed any settings. It’s exactly how it was when the change was made. Seems like a black background with blue writing and links?

A change hasn't been pushed out yet for everyone. You'd need to manually change it at the bottom of any page. At least I don't believe a change has been made yet. We all have 5 options to pick from, or not make any change at all and you're what's called Black-Orange (what we've been using for a long time.

The other 4 options are Websleuths 2025 and the new, as of a few hours ago, Orange is the New Blue. Both have System/Light and Dark options (which gives you 4 options, 5 if you're using Black-Orange as we all have for some time now).

 

[Gemmie]

Can we at least change the font size to be the same for quoted posts as it is for your Response text? As you can see the quoted part (orange) is smaller font than what I'm typing as a Response. Sure, I could increase the page size to 125% (or whatever) like Tricia does, but then everything is too large so then need to reduce the page size back to 100% (or whatever.

Just asking for the same font size for both. That way if we use 100% or 85% or 125%, etc., everything is the same. Thanks!

Yes, when @Ing someone. It's been fixed. It's no longer showing up as totally blacked out. I'm using the Orange is the New Blue w/ System/Light.
