New Exoworld Color Layout - Need opinion

General
#81

Alright, I gotta comment on the icon usage here, @Gorillastomp .

I use an extension in Firefox called Dark Reader (Also available for Chrome) which automatically and dynamically converts the eye-blindingly-bright design of this forum to a very nice dark theme. The new icons that are simply black icon images are actually … next to impossible to see. Could you see about possibly setting up a feint outer glow for those of us that use such an extension to be able to see the imagry? That would be amazing. Thank you.

For the timelapse i will use :

  • 0 : When an Exo is still active with that color

  • <1 : When the Exo is dead within the same day of the new exo

  • ∞ : _When it’s on an Homeworld _

The numbers will be clickable to open the post of the Homeworld(lowest tier)/Exoplanet the color is on.

Gorillastomp you are seriously such a rockstar for this. It’s so helpful and appreciate all you do for us for these exoworlds! Thank you so much!

Love the date that it was least seen. I would round to even days. I also use a dark screen so some of what you use is hard to see on it. As stated above:

Otherwise great work.

can you see properly the one 4 post above ?

#87

Still a fan of the current one over every new version. But every one seems to like clutter :joy:

Great job nonetheless.

#88

With difficulty.

#89

Could you send a screenshot of the latest Exoworld color layout ? I modified a bit the icons since then.

Since i added the homeworld link for color in exoworld post, would it be less intuitive if i remove the exo exclusive icon ?

Why not just use the infinity sign for the homeworld blocks, instead of the hourglass and infinity symbol? Having it use the same icon as the past exo one is a little confusing when you are just glancing over it trying to figure out which of the latest exos to divide your time up between. Still, very useful and and a great update, please don’t get me wrong!

#95

Why not something simple like : (did this fast in html dont judge…could clean it up)
I’m not 100% sure what entity means…could have titles (hover text) on all the items with descriptions.

example

#96

this has change since then, was using “entity” because to me 3d model item like flower aren’t a block. IT seems to confuse people so i just changed it to block in the legend description.

Latest layout is in the last exo here : [Hercul] --[T5 - Turbulent Coal Exoworld]-- [Active]

#97

i don’t think this is possible in the forum, would be neat if it was.

#98

need more comic sans…

#99

well… tbh ill rather want them simple, like
E - exo only,
N - new,
T - transform/solidifuier,
F- found,
P - exist at perma world

etc
