I still need to fix the "next/older" links on https://schizo.social and add "back/newer", but it's been brought to my attention that my favorite color (#f00) is "eye gougey", so maybe adding a theme color setting should be higher on my list of priorities.

What do you think is the next most obviously missing thing in my ugly little #mastodon client?

Among the things I learned today is how to lower opacity of a color that is stored as a CSS variable in hex notation.

body {
--fg-color: #f00;
}

div {
color: #fff;
background-color: color-mix(in srgb, var(--fg-color), transparent 40%) ;
}

#CSS

Debugging css in one tweet:

* {
outline: 1px solid #f00 !important;
} https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1649735269950853121

Fixed a glitch with the brighter palette and added a saturated palette since posting this, for those who care.

I should probably also note that it'll only spit out sets that are relevant to the input colour. #f00 can't get any lighter, darker, or more saturated for example, but can go brighter. #900 on the other hand can go lighter and those swatches will differ to the brighter set.

@mattwagl Nice!

If you need checkered tiles instead of only the grid lines, there's this nice one liner:

body {
background: repeating-conic-gradient(#0F0 0% 25%, #F00 0% 50% 50% / 24px 24px;
}

@oneeyedman Hey, thanks for taking the time! This is actually similar to what I have (plus a blur that disappears on mouseover):

img:not([alt]),
img[alt=""]
{
filter: blur(5em) grayscale(100%);
border: 20px solid #f00 !important;
}

img:hover
{
filter: none;
}

Issue is, even restricting it to specific sites, it applies to everything image (emojis, banners, link previews...) and also leaves out things like videos. The code went into more detail to avoid it!

I'm editing an image containing the french and german flags and its quite funny looking up the colours. The french flag is like "hm, we need a blue, lets take this shade, its kinda nice. Now for red, how about this shade?" while the german flag is "#000, #F00, #FC0, this is our flag, black stripe top or left", which encapsulates stereotypes so well

@florian @khaled So the only way to do *anything* with the current text color is to hardcode it to 0xffff for that glyph in the COLR table, and have the additional colors in the CPAL table. Then from CSS you have to set both colors in a convoluted way: one with `color: #f00` on the element or a parent, and the other through a n`@font-palette-values` and a `font-palette` on the element.

At least, that's how far I got with my tests 😄

@curtisfree @captainsafety @lukito @jeepdude_70 @begin_array @dan @adamcr @ericleamen @thetigerspot <marquee><font family="Comic Sans" color="#f00">Why&#8253;&#8253;&#8253;</font></marquee>

@mmasnick Unicode bold/italic is not handled well anywhere – that's not site-dependent, it's simply how screen readers work. I haven't used mastodon.social, but infosec.exchange lets you use both markdown and HTML in your posts, so you can use proper bold and italic (and more if you wish).

@hotsauce @crystalenka @starshaped this is great! I’m also excited for adding `from` to css color functions. So making an existing color transparent with `rgb(from #f00, r g b / .7)` (or something. Can’t find the actual proposal).

I’ll admit, though, that I never remember how specificity works with :is() and :where() and play around with it every time 🙃

wait maybe without the typo? <span style="color:#f00;">intext html</span>

JSON-LD context indicates meaning of terms, do a post with an activitystreams:Create. list of `to:` and `cc` for who to send it to. inReplyTo field to indicate where it goes. yno a post (which is actually HTML so why the heck can't i <span style="color:#f00;">intext html</soan>, a signature, yno blammo.

RT @chriscoyier: Did you know you could apply transparency to hex codes in #Sass?

rgba(#f00, 0.3);

I friggin didn't.

@emmanuelc

je ne trouve pas ça si long a taper
je n'ai aucun gouts artistiques,
en général j'utilise les couleurs R, V et B simples a retenir (#f00, #0f0, #00f) et quelques gris (#ccc, #666...) pour les tests avant prod (bordures, fonds...)

heureusement qu'on a un graphiste pour les thématiques définitives de nos site car avec moi seul, on aurait encore maintenant des website from hell😅

(#F00 is red hat)

@fribbledom

<font color="#f00">
Red. Always red.
</font>

chroma.scale(['#f00', '#ff0', '#0f0', '#0ff', '#00f', '#f0f', '#f00']).mode('lab').colors(9).slice(0, 8).map(c => [chroma(c).darken(), chroma(c)]).flat()
['#c20000', '#ff0000', '#c7a000', '#ffd100', '#78cb00', '#aeff00', '#00ca32', '#3aff65', '#00cbcc', '#00ffff', '#0030cb', '#485aff', '#7300ca', '#ab00ff', '#c70091', '#ff00c2']

pro webdev tip: never ever ever use Stylus. I'm on a project where the previous frontender was a fan of its initial reference feature:

.block
&__element
~/:hover &
color: red

means ".block:hover .block__element { color: #f00; }"

NOW IMAGINE ALL SELECTORS LIKE THAT

proof: http://stylus-lang.com/docs/selectors.html#initial-reference

okay, I'm only just now fixing the color palette in my MobaXterm configuration.

*why* is everything #f66 (etc) instead of #f00 ?? #tildetown is gonna be a lot easier (and more fun! 😠) to read now.
