A couple more updates here :) .

First of all, I've added the 'Artwork' and 'Writing' prefixes in "Your Creative Work":

[Image: kND5iX3.png]

I deliberately went with the names 'Artwork' and 'Writing' here, because they're of similar length, so neither prefix will stand out over the other. I also changed the book to a pencil, because I think it fits in better with the paintbrush, and I also think the FontAwesome 5 version of the book icon looks awful compared to FontAwesome 4 :( .

A few threads currently don't have a prefix, either because they contain both artwork and writing, or because they contain some other form of media (like music or videos). I can add more prefixes for these if people want them.

Also, I modified the 'Recipe' prefix a little bit. Here's how it looked before:

[Image: wXh1qwi.png]

Looks nice - but the problem is, the 'apple' logo I have there is intended to represent the Apple computer company - not generic apple images. Therefore, I've replaced it with a more generic 'apple' image, which was added in FontAwesome 5:

Unless we add more 'creative' prefixes, these are all the prefixes that I intend to add for the time being. There are still a few themes on which these need to be styled (including the default theme, which needs to be done last for technical reasons), but once those are done, this little project will be complete :) !

I've fixed a bug we had on certain themes (e.g. MyBB Default, Not Really Cocoa) where the prefix would be underlined when mousing over it (and the underline would extend slightly beyond the edge of the prefix). This looked awful - and, thankfully, it's gone now :) .

I'm also working on the last few stylings - so, hopefully, this will all be done soon :D !

I just noticed that the 'Writing' prefix was available in all forums :facepalm: . This was a mistake: it was only meant to be available in 'Your Creative Work'.

This is fixed now :) .

Well, these prefix boxes have now been styled on every theme :D ! So, I guess the first phase of this little project is complete :) .

The next thing to do, really, is to put together a guide to the prefixes :P .

Following a brief discussion between myself and The Last Outlaw in the "Take On Me" thread, I'm looking into introducing a new prefix for the "Favourite Version" threads in the Music and Audio sub-forum.

His suggestion was that the symbol should be the letters 'Vs', in a colour of my choice. Here's what I've set up on my test board (with fiery orange as my initial choice of colour):

[Image: FEQ6lxR.png]

I think this looks great on the darker themes - but not so much on the lighter ones (do note that this isn't a massive problem, as I'm able to vary the colours of these on each specific theme if I have to). However, if anybody has any alternative suggestions, for either the colour or the symbol, then I'm happy to try them out :) !

Maybe a slightly darker orange would work better for lighter themes?

Well, this sort of got forgotten :lol: . However, we're getting more of these "Favourite version" threads - so, if we're going to introduce this prefix for them, then it'd probably be wise to do it sooner rather than later.

Here's what it looks like with a slightly darker shade of orange:

[Image: M6Gfn2W.png]

I would say that that's a marginal improvement over what we had before - although, the 's' still looks messy :( . Sadly, I don't think that's going to be easy to fix: it's just a product of the way in which the text shadows work.

On the other hand, here's another version, with a quaver icon:

[Image: XThHJGs.png]

I think it looks rather good :D . It does kind of restrict us to using this prefix for musical threads; however, I don't anticipate us making "Favourite version" threads for anything other than music, so that's not a big problem IMO.

Maybe the colour needs toning down a little bit - but, other than that, I'm quite happy with this Thumbs-up !

Here's another idea I just had :P .

Back in the day, we used to have a Gaming sub-forum called the "Gaming Showcase", to give people somewhere to show off their gaming creations and playthroughs. It lasted for about a year, but it eventually got scrapped in one of my "Trimming the board layout" phases. However, might it be worth reviving it in the form of a thread prefix? If I do go ahead with this, then we'll need to think of an appropriate prefix name (would 'Showcase' do?), and an appropriate icon (this is harder, but I guess a game controller would do, since I don't anticipate using this outside the Gaming sections).

So, any ideas or thoughts?

Well, after forgetting about the 'Showcase' prefix proposal for a month, I came back to it :P .

I set it up on the test board - and, this is what it looks like:

[Image: pDWpOiF.png]

I've gone with a light blue colour (since this isn't too vibrant, and it contrasts nicely with the yellow used for reviews). As for the icon, the one I picked was the FontAwesome 'image' icon, which I think is quite appropriate, since these threads are likely to be quite image-heavy :P .

So, what do you think of this?
