A modern, 'flat' skin. Maybe someone other than me will find it useful *g*
Things of note: The category and warning icons on the blurbs have been replaced with colour-coded bits of text. The works font is set to a very large 20px.

Date: 2013-03-14 04:21 am (UTC)not to abuse your genius, but can you tell me how to set up a mobile skin -- like so the site displays normally on my computer but defaults to the mobile skin on my phone? I can't easily find any information about this.

Date: 2013-03-14 04:45 am (UTC)This is what you do after that.
1. Create a new skin for the mobile version - I called it Flat Squares (mobile).
2. Paste in mobile CSS.
3. Under the "Advanced" box, select
a. "replace archive skin entirely" and
b. under "Media", check the box for "only screen and (max-width: 480px)"
4. Under the "Parents" box, click "Add parent skin". Type in whatever you called the regular view skin.
5. Submit
And then use the new mobile skin.
Hope that works for you!

Date: 2013-03-14 04:31 pm (UTC)I think I've successfully created the mobile skin as a child of Flat Squares ("only screen and (max-width: 480px)" threw me -- I wish there were better documentation of this system). What I can't figure out now is how to activate BOTH the parent and child skins. If I click "use" for the mobile skin it turns off the Flat Squares skin, and vice versa.

Date: 2013-07-05 06:50 am (UTC)I would like to make the body font a little smaller if possible, and I can't figure out quite what to change after inspecting the elements of the live skin. What should I search for to tweak?
Thank you again!

Date: 2013-07-05 07:19 am (UTC)There's no body font size set in the base skin. I think the easiest thing would be to add something like
#main { font-size: 14px; }
which would size down everything except for the header, footer and the dashboard sidebar. Or add a font size to
body
if you want to scale those down too.no subject
Date: 2013-07-05 07:27 am (UTC)Really, this is such a huge usability improvement over the base style (not to mention the visual improvements). Thanks again.

Date: 2013-07-28 07:56 pm (UTC)There's a few issues
Date: 2015-06-06 07:22 pm (UTC)I also wanted to change the main font size in the body (where you read the stories) and I read the "#main { font-size: 14px; }" comment but it didn't work for me. Can you tell me where to put the code and what it should say? Sorry, I'm new to CSS.
Re: There's a few issues
Date: 2015-06-07 01:48 am (UTC)To change the font size for the story, do it under here:
#workskin .userstuff[role="article"],
#workskin div[role="article"] .userstuff {
font-size: 1.3em;
...
}

Re: There's a few issues
Date: 2015-06-07 02:35 am (UTC)When you're in the Edit Skin page, check if the the "replace archive skin entirely" option is selected? Like this:

Re: There's a few issues
Date: 2015-06-07 02:50 am (UTC)#workskin {
margin: auto;
max-width: 55em;
}
Change the max-width or margin values (e.g. margin: 0 30px).
Glad to be of help!
