Implemented Change The Star For Watched Threads!

[kkm323]

I like the new tweaks that are done in 1.2. One small comment, change the star to something else thats more related to watched threads (one/two eyes) instead of a star that could be interrupt as something else.

Perhaps we can borrow a watch image from the National Security Agency?

@Qwk86gn
how do we add this to xenforo using Stylish in Firefox? I added this to the redactor custom blue stylesheet but it's not working.

Wouldn't you have to use background-image: And background-position: ? Just guessing here.

Actually it works if you use the right CSS, which I wasn't for whatever reason.

Firefox Stylish requires the !important still, while Chrome doesn't.

.discussionListItem .iconKey .watched {
    width: 22px !important;
    height: 16px !important;
    background: url('http://oi41.tinypic.com/2n4v9d.jpg') no-repeat !important;
}

EYE please

Have done it in blue and black options as XF does a lot of blue.
But I'm no online artist, these are only mockups.

PLEASE no webcam - horrible spy robots ugh.
The spectacles are quite nice, but eyes are better - we all have those.

As with the sprite xF already has:


That eye sticks out like a sore thumb. Or any eye (even the one @oman uploaded... hahaha) for that matter. The glasses match the overall look much better.

This looks more natural.

Glasses to me say "read" not watched. Perhaps they can just make it a css image so we can change it to whatever we want.

You can change it now, so its likely you can change it when 1.2 comes out.

.discussionListItem .iconKey .watched {
    background-position: -90px -32px;
    height: 18px;
    width: 18px;
}

That's good enough for me. Frankly, I never noticed it before this thread.

.discussionListItem .iconKey .watched {

height: 18px;
background: url('http://xenforo.com/community/attachments/xenforo-extended-sprite-png.48450/') no-repeat -42px -168px;
}

So many options.. I'm still good with the glasses, or how about...

 

[tyteen4a03]

Can we get one that fits within a square?

THAT is cool - black n blue fits XF default. The eye looks left slightly towards the post info.
Very nice. Either that or spectacles though I tend to agree with @Code Monkey who said spectacles suggest this is Read, rather than (currently being) Watched.

Bit too small imo I really think members would find that difficult to see.

Yeah, but you'd always know what time it starte-----I might have that mixed up.



I'm not really sure when I stopped being helpful. But I think it was right around 2007.

 

[erich37]

same story goes for "Starred Conversations" within "Private Conversations". Does not make any sense.
Skip the star-image, re-name it to "Bookmarked Conversations", add Folders in order for the user to be able to move bookmarked "Private Conversation items" into dedicated user-defined folders. That's all what's required.


Stars are for Ratings only and should not be used for any other stuff, as it adds to the confusion.

Confusion:
- "Star-image" for "Ratings"
- "Star-image" for "Watched Threads"
- "Star-image" for "Starred Conversations"



Generally speaking, there are literally 3 features which would make XF whole:
- Watching (Threads, Forums, etc.) / implemented
- Bookmarking (Threads, Posts, Profile-Posts, Conversations, etc.) / not yet implemented
- Following (Members, Public Bookmarking Collections, etc.) / partially implemented

I have a feeling that this one would work perfectly.

I was just going to start a thread but noticed it's already covered.

The star is nice, but to me it implies some sort of "rating" on the thread. True that we can always change it after the fact, though, so it is not a big deal.

Remember to "like" the original post in this thread, BTW!

Seems like this has been implemented.

 

[Sheldon]

I'm still seeing the star, although I see the new sprite.

I still see the "star" for "Watched Threads"....
