I stumbled across this funny site today- I believe it's very relevant to this discussion!

https://www.comicsans.love/

OOOH thanks for sharing this site, love it! Now in my bookmarks. 

Personally I think it gets too much hate.

It's just whimsical to me. Reminds me of when I used to write random stories on my family's old pc when I was a kid. It also reminds me of Rover (the yellow dog) that would sometimes be in the side of the explorer when you searched for something. Fun fact: I made a userstyle and set the font for all the text on the forum to be set as comic sans. I love it.

Now that I found this thread now I just want to make a theme for my site that only uses comic sans lol.

TLDR: I really like it and you can take it from my cold dead hands.

Woo it took a bit but I kinda got something working! 
Until opera's android browser updates their compatibility with flex basis sadly this page might look a little scuffed lol.  (on the opera android browser)
Here's what it looks like now!

Thanks for the help Melon!

EDIT: Accidentally attached two copies of the same files my bad.
How TF do you make a wikipedia styled gallery?

Hey guys I'm currently working on updating this gallery section that I'm working on.
I tested different sized images and I sadly found out that vertical images changed the height of the gallery figure elements. I wanted containers that hold vertical images to maintain the same size as all the other gallery figures.

TLDR: I basically just want the figure elements in the gallery section to be roughly around 150px wide and tall, while keeping the images actual aspect ratio.

I'm asking here since I tried what I know and attempted looking stuff up and I'm kinda stumped. I've attached both the html and css if you want a more thorough look.


Here's an example of what I'm trying to go for with my gallery figures:

Here's 2 screenshots showing the issue.

Ah thank you for clarifying that.

I considered making the HTML font-size an EM because I thought "oh it'll scale to the default value of the person's PC! That'll help with accessibility" But honestly I do agree with just using PX instead. EM is kinda unpredictable so for all I know someone's going to end up not able to even look at my site because their default font-size is like 900px or some sh*t.

I'm probably going to stick to making HTML use PX for font-size since I know what the rest will reference off of.

Using media queries

IDK why but I did consider that, but then thought for some reason that it wouldn't work? Do you think that I could make a media query that changes the HTML font-size, based off of the size of the screen? Would that work without any problems? Dumb code EG:

Code

html {
 font-size: 14px;

 @media screen and (min-width: bigger than 1920px screens lol idk what the average sizes are for desktop screens) {
  font-size: 16px;
  /*or 18px idk*/
 }
}

Ok I took a look at it.
Do you guys think that setting it up like this will mess anything up? (Making the html font-size an EM then making everything else font size an REM?)

Code

html{
 /*font-size: 14px;*/
 font-size: 0.875em;
}

.links_sections_box_button_small {
 /*font-size: 16px;*/
 font-size: 1.1428571428571428rem;
 color: #33a658;
 background-color: #fff;
 border-radius: 10px;
 padding: 4px 8px;
 padding-left: 11px;
 border: 2px solid #a8d718;
 box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 3px #33a658;
}

So I'm working on my site and I sort of realized that screens bigger than 1920x1080 are going to have a hard time reading the text on the page, while smaller screens are going to have a hard time with the text since it might be too big and might even ruin the layout.

I was thinking about using EM instead of PX but found out the size is based off of the default font size of the computer/device. So there's a possibility of it being super inconsistent.

Is it worth doing?
(Also if anyone's used this please let me know any good tips/tricks!)

I have temporeraly removed the script pending a better solution - even my computer seems happier now

Thanks man! GL with working on that!

Maybe if it's possible you could way to disable certain javascript?

It's just because somehow the forum page has gotten slower on my laptop and I'm pretty sure it's the snow JS effect or something else that's slowing it down. (it's a gaming laptop so it's definitely not an issue on my end!)

Yeah just confirmed it I using inspect element I deleted the snow script and the flowers and it got rid of the lag as soon as I did that.

do you mind linking to the Linux mint XP theme? That looks amazing. I'd love to get that for my own desktop.

I've been debating if I should theme my mint install as XP or Windows 98 and I ultimately cannot decide... I should send my desktops to this thread soon, I just have a lot of them so it'll take me a while to get pics of them all.

(BTW I made a mistake in the forum post the green themed one is actually the linux screenshot my bad!)

Here's the theme I used on my linux computer.

download link to the theme: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1230964/

github link to the theme: https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-XP

download link to the icons: https://www.pling.com/p/1158349/

I also want to let you know that it comes with 6 themes other than the olive one as well.

EDIT: I forgot to add this as well. https://www.andryou.com/2019/01/02/make-linux-mint-look-like-windows-xp-luna/

This is where I got some windows XP fonts as well. I also found out about the CinnVIIStarkMenu applet as well. Looks quite nice so I installed it. Feels a lot better to me.

(If this is against the rules please let me know and I'll delete this!)

EDIT: Made a huge mistake the linux screenshot is actually the green one my bad!
Current desktop setup as of today.
(For anyone wondering bottom image is windows 11 with both openshell and retrobar, and the top image is linux mint with a windows xp theme.)

Got a brand new laptop for christmas!
So it's pretty plain right now. My wallpaper is a test render I've made last month with an OC I had for a while!

  Here's mine!

Hey there, welcome! Very curious to see what your website will turn out like

Thank you for the welcome!

I'm pretty hyped to! I currently have 5 pages done and I'm working on the 6th!

EDIT: Added a screenshot of the storyboard.

I used aseprite for mine. An older version when it was still GNU. (I think that's the right one?)

Preparing:

I started by making a very simple storyboard of what I wanted in paint tool sai, I already had an idea so it was an easy and quick process. Used only a single colour, and 1-3 layers. Those layers were for the storyboard itself, lighting, and notes of the direction. (animation, movement, fade to black etc.)



Working on the button/badge itself:

Started with making the background (easiest part), then I picked out colours for the imp. I colour-picked from pokemon black and white sprites since I liked how they looked.

I finally start animating the imp itself.

Something that helped was understanding timing and easing for animation, making the simple action of the imp moving up more interesting by using less frames on certain actions. The hardest part with animating the imp was the blink, I still think I could've pulled it off better. But to be fair it was my first time.

What actually took the longest when working on the button was actually the fade to black loop! It was a super tedious process and idk if there was any way to make it faster. What I did was slowly changing the opacity of a layer of black each frame. It took forever!

TLDR: Check if there's a better way to do a fade to black than whatever the hell I did.

I think I took around 28 days or less on it. But I don't remember that well and this is just based off the timestamps of what I shared on discord.
For the sake of flexing (jk) the final animation has 79 frames of animation. I also plan on making a non-moving button but that isn't a main priority right now.

Here's the button for anyone's curious!

I like a ton of pizzas but personally I like chicken and green peppers on mine. :omg:k:
