Added a light mode (prefers-color-scheme: light) media query to my site with a custom theme and banner. If you press F12 and toggle the light (sun) icon in Firefox you can see it. Also changed the :focus on form inputs to use outline instead of border so other items on the page don't shift around.

Hey there sanguineroyal.

pixelglade 2 years ago

Wow I pressed enter before finishing my message (thought shift+enter would let me enter new lines, guess not). I hope you enjoy your degree! I did, I focused on psychophysics and sensory/cognitive psychology in my third year (bachelor degrees are 3 years in Australia, with honours making up a 4th year). I'm quite impressed by your custom graphics like stickers and things.

Not sure if just me but a few of your homepage and other pages do this "double load" thing, where it looks like it refreshes after trying to load once. Do you see that?

sanguineroyal 2 years ago

I do, it's because my website isn't actually hosted on neocities, lol. I just have pages on neocities that redirect to the "actual" page if that makes sense?

pixelglade 2 years ago

It makes sense but why do you need to do that? Doesn't the page load more efficiently hosting on here?

sanguineroyal 2 years ago

Neocities doesnt have some functionalities i’m looking to use such as php.

Hey kalechips, like your site! I wanted to ask about your trans and rainbow 88x31 buttons on your homepage - can I use them? Where did you get them from (noticed they're outgoing links). Will check out more of your site later!

lostletters 2 years ago

Those buttons link to the source: https://rainy.gay/pride/pridebuttons they're free to use

pixelglade 2 years ago

Oh thanks, on my PC those buttons on your page linked to "https://rainy.gay/", maybe you could direct link to that page instead?

Hi there, I read your accessibility post and I noticed the same. I'd like to join the Accessible Net directory along with my other site (scopefilter) which meet the vast majority of the criteria EXCEPT a light-dark toggle. I realize this kind of toggle is useful but the sites do respond to native High Contrast modes in Windows to switch the colour scheme which I hope is enough until I have the chance to code it.

pixelglade 2 years ago

The other thing I wanted to add with the accessibility post which is something I've noticed, and I actually find very disorienting is how a lot of people's websites change layout from page to page. But I was thinking of making my own a11y post at some point so I guess that's one of the things I'll mention :) really like your site design btw (Also the Punk Wasp link in your blog post doesn't lead to a blog post)

Hello this is my other site! :3

pinkvampyr 2 years ago

You actually don't need to code a toggle! A simple prefers-color scheme light/dark media query with some colors switched around works fine :> I provided some links on how to do it underneath that guideline, kalechips shows how to do it quickly! https://kalechips.net/stuff/snippets?p=darkmode

Thanks! Took awhile for me to figure out why it wasn't working but Kalechip's code doesn't work unless you enclose the :root {} inside the media query... which is what they've done on their site. You can use the Dev Tools which has a Light and Dark mode switch to test if it's working.

Thanks cc! I saw you're also in Australia (Brisbane here) and use a screen reader to test your site which is awesome. I still need to make further adjustments to my site. Will definitely add your button to my site (Links page) it seems like we have a lot in common plus your site design is awesome.

Moved the language learning resources (and added more links) to Miscellaneous Links (https://pixelglade.net/resources/collections/misclinks.html) All web collections have more entries - extra radio stations in Online Radios, added vegan art resources in Art Resources, ROM hacking / assembly programming and scientific programming into the code page.

re your comment on my accessability page: the light and dark mode buttons were actually inspired by a CSS property i just learned about! color-scheme: dark; and color-scheme: light; i used it for that pg in particualr bc its reletively unstyled. if you want custom styles for your dark and light modes youll prob have to make a style sheet for each

interestingly in css you can only apply it to html, it doesnt work applied to body (i may be wrong tho, i didnt dig too deep)

These are really great, thank you. I looked up a bit more about it and it looks like you can use media queries to adjust colour schemes with prefers-color-scheme.

Hey Neonbandit, your DeltaRune battle dialogue page gave me the inspiration to go back to an old piece of code where I was trying to do a visual novel type interface (it's still no way near finished) but I encountered a weird issue I was wondering if you could help me with. Feel free to email me if that's easier (pixelglade@protonmail.com). Problem is setInterval and setTimeout are not working for a text reveal...

pixelglade 2 years ago

I'm still kinda new at javascript 😅

ne0nbandit 2 years ago

I'm glad to be of inspiration!! But I'll have to be honest, I'm just as fresh to JS :'D I had someone else make most of that script for me hehe QwQ I do want to learn so I could give it a look but I'll likely be unable to help much ;;

pixelglade 2 years ago

Well if you feel like taking a look at it send me an email - I feel like it'd be easier to share the code that way (not ready to be published). Otherwise I'll just have another go at it another day so don't stress.

Unfortunately consolidating 3 different style.css sheets broke a few things on my site style-wise. Nothing life destroying but... yeah. It's getting a bit like jenga.😅

pixelglade 2 years ago

For example, I didn't even touch the breadcrumb menu and now it's broken. Probably something to do with how I used selectors on the nav element. Why do CSS selectors have to be so complicated? 😭

ugh yes, i would like to neaten up the css for my site, but i know it would be one messy chore ^^;
