Flat Squares skin

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.

I really like the look of this! It does do some odd things in Opera, especially lists of things, but the appearance of the story pages is really nice. I took the mobile one as well - thank you!

Great skin! I'm having fun customizing it and making it my own. Thanks for making it easy to do so. Would you object if I turned it into a stylish skin (with proper credit of course)? This is only so I wouldn't lose the code.

That's more than a little brilliant! I may have to abscond with it and see if I can make a reverse contrast for my use.

Oh, this is lovely. It's perfect for my mobile viewing. May have to do some futzing so I can get my colors and fonts and tweaks all in there, but it is a delightfully clean, readable skin. Very, very nice! Thank you for sharing it.

BLESS YOU! right now there is not a single public skin on AO3 that I can stand looking at. but yours is gorgeous!

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.

Thanks so much for the help!

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.

I checked and unchecked a bunch of things, and I'm not quite sure what fixed it, but it seems to be working now! When I added a parent the site made a blank box for a second parent - maybe I had to delete that before it would work properly?

Thanks so much!

This is absolutely beautiful, and so readable! Thank you so much for the wonderful work. The dashboard is a model of functionality, and everything is a model of style.

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!

That explains why I couldn't figure out what number to adjust. :) That worked perfectly, thank you!

Really, this is such a huge usability improvement over the base style (not to mention the visual improvements). Thanks again.

Thanks a LOT for this skin! I've been having issues with the regular AO3 skin forever and this fixed it right up. ^^

There's a few issues

[personal profile] glintonglass 2015-06-06 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I really love this skin and want to use it but I found a few issues with it. The category and warning icons replaced with colour-coded text are viewing weirdly. I can send you some screenshots if you'd like. When I click on my dashboard, it highlights the dashboard link on the left side and the box is slightly covering my user icon.

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.

I use Chrome. I use a Mac if that matters. I'm not sure how to upload screenshots here so I'll give you a link to them.

That's the problem! I had it set to 'add on to archive skin'. Wow, that was kind of stupid of me. It works fine now! Yay! I have one last question. If I want the margins on the story to be larger (like there's more blank space on the sides of the story) where/what would I edit?

Thanks for all your help!

I gotta say, I really love this skin. It's a first I've seen for ao3 genuinely like in its entirety. Thank you for sharing it.
