Re: A row of spades in Recently Active Threads?

My fault. I noticed when I changed the css that controls the colours used for the RAT colours (see RAT Style Settings) that the key didn't change to reflect my colours.
Because of the way the coloured boxes were generated it was non-trivial to apply the user css so I changed the code to apply the css to the forground of a character. For various reasons I chose to use a spade character, but that will likely change to a filled box later today.

Let me clarify: the problem is that the CSS specifies the text colour (AKA foreground colour), while the boxes originally depended on setting the background colour. AFAIK there's no way to tell CSS "swap foreground and background colour". Hence, in a next phase, a completely filled block character was chosen, as quite a few people weren't happy with the spades. It seems an equally important section of our population feels that way about the blocks.

Couldn't you just have it generate two ranges of CSS classes? One for forground and one for background? They could even share the same name just one has a.nnt-Steaming { color : #0000EE; } and the back ground is td.nnt-Steaming { background-color : #0000EE; } ... forgive the css errors if there are any. That region of CSS looks automaticaly generated, if so its just a matter of finding where its generated and making a minor addition.

On the other hand, GrandFather, leave it. A row of spades is neat. I really dig spades.

Hi Grandfather,
Did you change the character again? I saw spades earlier; now I see a box with 2588 in it.
