A minimalistic CSDb style for Stylish

I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to restyle CSDb a bit, maybe some of you will find it useful.

Since the HTML is not semantic at all, and it was a real pain in the ass to make it work, I am pretty sure it's full of shit, so feel free to improve/change it.

Oh, and it works only when you're logged in.

even the db itself needs a serious rework / restructuring.

think of the C code you wrote 20 years ago. its that bad.

Jailbird: Looking good. If you it could only beeing applied by inserting your .css why, not? :D

Quote: BTW a single class on the <body> depending on the first URI segment would help ALFULLY a lot! Perffffff pls!

Jb, contact Perff directly, that should be a simple and straightforward task for him.

Other way, parse url with js, add body class dynamically with js. (using js not possible, right?)

Nice things I see people are saying about my old code here! ;)
But, yes it IS bad. :/

@Jailbird: Let me know what you like me to do (didn't get it from your comment), and I'll look at it. :)

I'd say exactly the same about my own code from 20 years ago. Horrible =)

HTML and CSS aint code anyway ;)
@Perff: I/we would need a unique (but permanent) class in the body of each page based on the first URI segment. Fe. forum for this, home for home, release for the release page, event for the events, etc. So I could write direct selectors which don't influence elements on other pages. I am sure it would be easy to automate it. Thanx! XOXO

Ps: plus a unique class for the menu items, but that's useful just for the lurkers so no priority

WTF, I'd never thought I'd communicate, nevertheless to agree with Rayden, but yeah.


Nonetheless you're welcome :)

I highly appreciate the work you put into the CSS, but the stylish approach feels to me like a Bondo Bucket: shiny at the first glance, but as the base isn't solid she starts falling apart if you take her out for the first ride in town ;)

But it cleary shows what could (and imho should) be done to give CSDb a more contemporary look and feel. I like.

A repository/archive just containing the current templates (no DB involved) would be a first step - just to take a look at the current code. But given the age of the code, I suspect some fancy interwoven HTML/PHP stuff and I doubt I really want to see it... ;) (@Perff: no offence meant)

We also need a style that uses only the c-64 system font and petscii graphics.

That sounds easier than doing a rewrite from ground up. Can't be good.
