i'm struggling to think of how i should style the donations page. because i watch it to be eyecatching but i dont want it to be over the top or silly. since it might come off the wrong way. idk i'm probably overthinking it but i dont wanna be disrespectful towards the people i will be linking you know

i feel like as long as its sincere people will understand! if sincere to you means no funny business, then that is how you should go.

@seasoups thanks

Silly is fine if that's what your heart wants, personally I'd be more likely to donate to something that made me laugh than a very serious no goofing around donation page - maybe make it look like the Winrar free trial notification? It would match the Windows theme :)

You can start with a simplistic version of your normal layout with short descriptions for each Fund and then see how comfortable you are adding more elements or touching-up text.

@lakes just to be clear i am referring specifically to mutual aid for palestine and other important causes, not promoting a gofundme for myself

@lakes but ofc if you or anyone wants to promote their own gofundmes, it’s not my site and people can do whatever they want!😊

Much of mainstream tv shows head in the direction of never adopting actually radical positions, preferring only to portray suffering under capitalism void of any viable solutions. Mark Fisher goes into this in Capitalist Realism

@limovars RIGHT!! i've noticed this too. but i was thinking maybe squid game would at least be entertaining about it. but you're right though. even severance which is a better show doesn't show any possible radical solutions at least yet. the only exceptions i can think of are star trek & sorry to bother you. one of the reasons i respect boots riley as a director is how openly communist he is

i just noticed my website isn't showing the custom window border colors on the windows 7 style pages anymore AAAAH!!!! idk if it's a linux thing, a librewolf thing, some combo of both?

Not sure if I am looking at the right thing, but /musicofwhenever is showing Win7 styled borders for me. MX Linux / Firefox.

lakestheguy 10 months ago

@thehoneypot i mean for me it's less about them being win7 styled (they are still are for me too). it's just that the custom colors i put are GONE!!

lakestheguy 10 months ago

@thehoneypot like compare the thumbnail for the homepage to the ACTUAL homepage and you'll see what i mean

thehoneypot 10 months ago

Oh my bad I do see what you mean. I can see on the article you set --window-background-color to the shade of red that's in the thumbnail, but I am struggling to find where that variable is then used. The inner title-bar uses --w7-w-glass. When I manually set that to --window-background-color, the colour appears, albeit not transparent but I think if you explore that hopefully you will find the fix!

Yeah got it - On the .window::before css, set background-color to --window-background-color and the custom colours (and correct transparency) appears!

@thehoneypot i can't edit that part of the css since i have the win7/98/xp stuff linked from a third party rather than directly hosted on my site. but i might see if i can download it on my computer later
