Peacock Tail Updates
I’ve spotted quite a few people using Peacock Tail now, which is great. But I hope they’re following this tumblelog, as I suggested — there’s no way of telling who watches a public channel at the moment, which is what this is — because I’ll be releasing a slightly updated version in a week or so.
The reason I’m waiting so long is I want to catch as many of the bugs as possible before updating, to avoid having to update the theme multiple times. I imagine it would be rather annoying to have to constantly update your theme.
Here are the things I’ve marked for update so far:
- Chat post styling: I’ve botched the margin on those a little. Reblog a chat post to see what I mean.
- Slight change of text colour in the “Following” box. It’s a little too high-contrast at the moment, I think.
- Quote post styling: It’s a little rubbish at the moment. I like the way Ben Kraal has modified them, so I might make them look like that.
- Pagination link: Rather than next/previous, I’m going to change it to older/newer. The default next/previous is a little confusing.
- Links in the description: They’re currently unstyled, and I’ve noticed some people like having links there, so that needs changing.
Spotted anything else, or got any other feedback? E-mail goes to richard at dunlop-walters dot net.
