are u ever sick w longing. and i don't just mean romantic longing. i mean longing for a place you barely get to see, longing for friends you no longer have, longing for feelings you might have left behind in your childhood, longing for creativity, longing for a rich and more expansive life, longing for less inhibition. longing for more passion. longing for ur life to be so incandescent w something it thaws all the frost in ur bones. are u ever so consumed w it it rends ur heart in two. do u understand me
While this site skin is in dark mode in these screenshots, I have included instructions to make a light mode. Or a purple mode. Or a yellow mode. Or whatever else you might want to do with it.
(I actually commented my code for once)
The code is posted to AO3 for you to copy/paste (and even modify) to your heart's content). Enjoy!
I talked about putting together something to show off Hesperus' moving parts and, finally, here it is!
Along with modernizing and minimizing AO3's general layout, I put work into using transitions to more seamlessly indicate buttons and other links in an active state.
An accessibility option is available that places a check or cross in front of active tags in the filter, for users who want a visual indication of their state past just colour and shape change.
All smooth transitions can be turned off (so they instead move from state to state with no in-between), or replaced with normal button hovers (so no sliding in and out.)
Everything seen here is also fully functional on mobile and tablet.
this is a super simple site skin that’s slightly more than just a recolor. i originally set out to create a skin that would get rid of that darn muted users notif and then found myself procrastinating fic writing by customizing a site skin lol
it should be fairly simple to recolor if you like the look but don’t want the pink (or cream), however, the icons are linked images and therefore a set color. so if you’re wanting to change that, the source code uses gray icons so you could refer there (linked below), or you’ll have to upload your own icon images and change the urls accordingly.
other features besides recolor:
-hides “you’ve muted users” notif (ty @ao3commentoftheday for sharing how to do that!)
-changes work stat labels to icons (code from @ao3skin, specifically Tide)
- makes buttons flat (ty to @ao3skin again for sharing how to this!)
skin is shared here w/ installation instructions :)
Would you mind sharing your Ao3 skin, please? It's so pretty and organized, I think I'd get to concentrate better while reading🥹
Aw thank you, sure! Just note that there may be errors in places! Ao3 is a nightmare of code, so if I haven't run into it, there could be places that the code is off. If you run into anything, feel free to send me the html link and I can likely fix it.
I call this skin Dusty Dusk myself, but of course name it whatever you want! It's meant to be a low contrast 'dark' mode.
This has already taken me more than 2 months but I finally feel confident enough to promote! It's a bit of a spooky skin! I already have the preview images on the AO3 post, but here's the first one just for convenience if you don't like it from the start:
Also, as said on the skin, follow the rest of the instructions and don't judge my ships (ó‸ò).
i think they should put a time limit on feeling bad about life experiences bc ill be chilling in my puddle of grief and sadness and then im like. damn that was march though and now its june and we're balling so. hmmmm.
