Midnight theme
I've recently completed a new theme for PF and I'd like your input on it. It's called 'midnight' and it can be found under your settings. First of all, I *think* I've applied style changes to everything, but since I'm still not quite familiar with the site please write here if you find that I've missed something.
Second, if you have any ideas on what to add or how to improve it, also drop a reply here.
Here's some screenshots (I won't be embedding them as they're huge): http://imgur.com/RWilWes,fVfrXhe

A bit darker category / filter colors
The bet page button needs a margin to the left
.selectize-control.single .selectize-input, .selectize-control.single .selectize-input input need text color override
New notification bubble color (#6c71c4) for better readability (old: #cfa644)
Fixed gallery (I hope)
Drag and drop image box styled
Header color fixed on media query for 856px
one thing you may look at is the embedded image gallery (see here). the background color from .galleria-theme-classic is set to a dark grey, which clashes a bit with your background. setting the background-color to none on .galleria-theme-classic looks pretty good.
edit: could you also screenshot the header, I thought I fixed that in media query, apparently not :S
* provide a link to embedded images, so that users can view the full size image without relying on the browser 'open image in new tab' type options
* a user notification system, similar to reddit's (adding /u/username to a post will alert that user that they have been mentioned)
I'm guessing on reddit the content is parsed for any "/u/<username>" occurrences and then checks if those users exist? Got any good ideas for a fitting username highlighting syntax?;)
you're correct about the functional behavior of the reddit user notification. as for the syntax, well, reddit's is pretty natural, because to visit a user, you can just add /u/username to the url. for +f, would expanding bbcode work? something like @username[/user]? or maybe @ would be easier.
Yeah bbcode might work but your example doesn't exactly come as natural as reddit's version (@ is also an option but my same concern still applies).
it's also worth noting, however, that using some bbcode approach would be more consistent with current editing. on reddit, /u/username might be a little less natural if the site were using bbcode instead of markdown. you would have all these editing features enclosed in brackets, then one random feature that uses some other standard.
Edit: Dope theme$

Fortunately the new dark is just fine. Could it be possible to allow users to choose which colour 'highlights' they have? e.g. currently user names, attach file, preview, submit, x, links etc are in a yellow/gold colour.
sounds good, do a razer and offer every colour ;)
It's not quite as easy since there are a few images on the site that have the accent color in them as well. And the yellow/gold is kind off the "site color" for lack of a better term (e.g. it is used in the logo).
I'd have to create and maintain an extra css file for all the different colors and create the images for all of them. So if you can keep it down to 2 or 3 options i could do that, even tho i'd rather spend my time on other features. :D
Yeah I agree, it's definitely a less important feature to work on, perhaps more of a long term idea. Also I see your point that the colour is associated with the site. It's a nice colour anyway :3
