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.

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 |

Quoting JailbirdWTF, 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. |

Definitely not good. The current situation is, CSDb doesn't have CSS at all. Everything is inline, but not even stlye. font="#fff" stuff and similar, in layers and layers of nested tables.
But. I don't think it will be ever rewritten.
Seems that this is the only way to make changes. |

Looked at the HTML source, and indeed there's a lot deprecated stuff in there.
Then again, I tend to drop out off/into the scene and CSDb looking exactly the same after ten years makes me feel right at home. So I'm fine with the current look. |

I love CSDb just as it is. Make demos for the C64 instead. |

Aside from the votes, looks like a downgrade to me. CSDb is probably the only site where I don't have to block any elements and can exempt the original style from the dark custom one I use for everything else. I wish the rest of the Internet was this "outtdated" as in displaying content quickly, clearly and on any system. |
