Mapping Flarum

Anomalum

Subarist Are all desktop views like that? I mean, with the space around the outside?

Edit: (Tuesday 29 October 2024) To add; my above question is infact genuine.
The last time I ever laid eyes on any computer at all would've been roughly four—five years ago now and I haven't actually used one since around 2009-'10ish. I honestly have absolutely no idea about proper computers.

Now regarding my question as to whether all desktop views of Flarum-based forums are presented with the space around them (*as shown in @Subarist's screenshot). The reason I ask this is because I'm unsure if this is the normal presentation of content on desktops nowadays or not(?)

@Subarist may I ask what is meant by "At 100% display"? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

wylzn 😂Yeah, it appears that the automated dark/light concept needs some more adjustments apparently. (*I'll get onto that right now)

Is it after 6pm where you are?
(*Currently still mid afternoon for me so I'm seeing the light mode version)

Anomalum it was more on the size thats an issue :rofl:

wylzn

It's currently 2:56am!

Anomalum

wylzn Ahhh, so you're semi nocturnal too by the sounds of it. 😄 Glad I'm not the only one.

Edit: The Anomalum auto dark/light transition should be functioning more effectively now.

wylzn Honestly, these two desktop screenshots shared so far, by yourself and @Subarist ...🤭 both actually look pretty sweet in my (genuine) opinion aye. It's definitely far from finished though and yeah I certainly will admit I can sort of generally grasp and vaguely share a similar perspective as you've each expressed here regarding the dimensions presented for larger screens.
It's one of the more major items on the 'to-do' list...😅once I learn how to.

Hi, Anomalum

Perhaps you could try the following adjustments:

.IndexPage {
    /* width: 90%; */
    /* margin-left: 15%; */
    /* margin-right: 15%; */
    max-width: 1100px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

.DiscussionListItem-title {
   /* font-size: 3vw; */
    font-size: 2em;
}

Setting a maximum width can prevent the layout from being too spread out on large screens.
For the title font size and any other CSS code you may have, try to avoid using the vw unit. Although many responsive design tutorials promote it as highly effective, it’s actually not easy to control.

Capybara Спасибо, капитан.
I still can't quite put my finger on what exactly it is, but your forum is a legit masterpiece... 😄and somehow it only keeps getting better and better every time I swing by.

The overall design is just downright stunning in my opinion. Then the content, omfg! It's incredibly immersive. I imagine there's very few at the cutting edge of online community fora management, however you're definitely among them.

How do you make "NPC" generate color?

Anomalum

Subarist Random question: Are you by any chance into Subarus? (eg: WRXs, BRZs, etc...)
It's the first thing that comes to mind from reading your username.

Subarist Setting a maximum width can prevent the layout from being too spread out on large screens.

Yeah, true aye, that is a very good point right there. 🙂Thanks

It's currently looking like this:

.IndexPage {
    width: 95%; /* Retained for <768px control */
    /* margin-left: 2.5%; */
    /* margin-right: 2.5%; */
    max-width: 1100px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

Seems to be looking better now.

Wasn't so successful with the .DiscussionListItem-title font-size tweaks though. Things rapidly began spiraling out of control...😂 so I reverted back to vw units and did a little fine tuning...hopefully resulting with some degree of improvement...

Subarist This is done manually 😅

😵‍💫 I can’t believe I didn’t think of this…
By the way, forumspace is so beautiful. I’ve never seen such a well-balanced flarum site.
I always feel like all the members on your site are artists.
