Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. Global and / or Page specific custom CSS
Simply a means to insert custom CSS either to all Gaia pages or some Gaia pages.

2. "Advanced options" in config
Somewhat similar to suggestion 1. Currently you can set a color for highlight background or check to highlight 'invisible' text, it'd be nice if there was an 'advanced' option in which you can edit the full CSS as opposed to just setting 1 property.

i hiiiiighly suggest adding a filter to AdBlock to remove facebook s**t from appearing on non-FB sites ( in chrome you'd use *.facebook.*$domain=~facebook.com|~127.0.0.1 ) but i will add it to Hide Advertisements soon 3nodding

A minor, mostly insignificant suggestion for the new header overhaul:

When logged out while on any of the internal pages, the navigation hovers over the login field, making it difficult(ish) to log back in without going to the separate login page from the home page.

Would there at all be a way to move that login field down when revealing the navigation? Or, perhaps, to hide the navigation (or even just that extra blank space where the HUD would be) when not logged in so as to avoid the overlap?

ohp, thanks for the notice! i've just applied a fix that SHOULD make the login box layer above the navigation. as far as i can tell, the only problem that arises from that is that the search box is obstructed on small resolutions. if that's too big a problem for people i'll figure something else out 4laugh ooh, maybe i'll restyle it to look like the info bar since there is none when loggedout :O anyway yeah update your style and the fix should be there!


thanks! the 'custom header background' style is actually something i'm working on these days. i just noticed that people ALSO like the little companions, so i've got to round them up and write them in. then, since changing the header image(s) requires users to go in and edit the style, i've got to write a guide on THAT. soooo release is somewhere on the horizon!

short answer:
not really sad

longer answer:
it's technically possible, but not like your example. i'd rather not implement it the only way it could be implemented, because a) it'd be REALLY REALLY REALLY hacky, and b) it won't grow/shrink gracefully if they introduce/remove types of notifications notifications.

even longer answer:
to achieve the infobar effect, i have to say "user info, completely ignore where gaia put you and instead fix yourself to the top left; gold/cash, same deal except you're at the top right."

unfortunately, the "ignore your position" thing also means it will ignore every other element, and every other element will ignore it. if i tried to say "notifications, go sit nicely next to user info", notifications would be all "who the ******** is user info?"

now, if either user info or gold/cash or notifications were a definitive width, this would not be a problem. if user info was 100px, say, i could just say: "notifications, fix yourself to the top and 100px to the right." problem being, of course, that usernames (and GES for that matter) mean user info is not a definitive width. it might be 250px for me, 275px for you, etc. same goes for the gold/cash thing, obviously, because your gold count can be 1 figure, 5 figures, 8 figures... and finally, same for notifications, because it could just be "1 Notice" or "1 Notice 10 Announcements 1 Guild Announcement 1 Private Message 1 Trade" etc etc. so we can't fix anything in relation to anything else, because they're all flexible.

here's where the hacky solution comes in: each notice type has an icon of a fixed width. theoretically, if notices had no text, we could definitively say: "a person who has 1 or more notices of every type would have a notification box size of 150px". at that point, we could say "notifications, sit at the top left; and user info, sit 150px to the right." then we'd slap up a "greyed out" version of every notice in the background, and then if a user has a notice we'd manually fix it in the exact position it has to be to make it appear that the icon has become highlighted.

what makes that solution suck donkey balls? a) it uses images and i hates images, b) the greyed-out background would have to be applied to a completely different element (like user info) because the 'notices' box doesn't show up if you don't have any notices, c) it's not a real "toggle" of grey=off, color=on; the grey and colored images are in completely different elements so it'd be an even huger pain in the a** to edit than it already is at this point, and d) there'd be no way to preserve the NUMBER of each notification because they're not separate from the NAME of the notification.

and more reasons. but there you go. it saddens me also. sad

Hmm, got something that removes the whole gaia header question
avatar, gold amount, etc question

Apologies, this is ridiculously belated, but thank you for that fix c:
I didn't get a quote notification, or missed it or something. gonk


And now an extremely lazy request for Highpass!

Would there be a way to assign tags to specific accounts?

For example, I have a different post style for each of my accounts, and while it doesn't require much effort to put either [one][/one] or [two][/two] around my posts, it would require even less effort for this to happen automatically depending on which account I'm logged into.
