Wrong Planet Look And Feel

This script allows the user to switch between themes, change icons, font size, font colour,
hide posts, change gender identities/diagnosis and contains many forum bug fixes.

The script was a work in progress, as users identified site problems or any specific personal needs, I worked to address them.
As I no longer use this site I am consequently no longer working on the code and have decided to
clean it up and release it as is to forum members who feel inclined to use it.

Once installed all options are integrated into the User Control Panel under Look & Feel.

Following is a brief overview of the available options

Themes

There are two themes available.

A dark theme created by Wrong planet user SerOrange and released
under the GNU General Public License.

And a light theme that uses much of the same code base. This theme is a nod to the previous
forum inasmuch as it uses the same blue and green background when displaying user messages.

Iconset

This option allows you to choose between eight different Icon Sets.

Below are examples of four different icon sets using the dark theme:

Fonts

The font size and colour can be changed.
There is a choice between six font sizes and six text colours.

Original font size and colour:

Green font at size 20px:

Hide Posts And Threads

This option turns on and off post blocking.
More information about this can be found here:

New Gender Identities And DX Options

Once enabled you will have the following options added to the drop down
boxes on the "your profile" page in the User Control Panel:

Adverts

This option turns on or off the sites adverts, for members
bothered by flashing images.
At this moment in time the sites adverts are broken by Cloudfare's
Rocket Loader and the iframes are left unpopulated.
So at present this option will remove the empty iframes from
the page, thus removing the large empty spaces.

Forum Fixes

  • The date format helper on the "Your Profile" page has been corrected.

  • The encroachment of quotes and text into the left hand column has been fixed:

  • The inability to click on links in the left hand column whilst
    using a mobile device has been fixed.

  • The PM button on the "view topic" page now opens the
    Compose message page and correctly populates the message TO: field.

  • Author and Views columns has been removed from "View new posts" page
    for a cleaner display when using portrait mode on a mobile device:
