Very very very bad editor design!

Right, just talking possible design aspects.

It's very unlikely that the default editor will ship with colored icons.

Use icon font for editor icons (may be other icons as well) and changing color will be as simple as setting up css text color property. This approach will force that the icon can only have one color so it is important to have option for image based icons for those who want a multi-color icon.

Wow.. how did you get:-

I think it's a tricky wicket to claim XF should be designed by the preferences of its moderators.

I use this site a lot more than you do so surely my opinion carries more weight as a percentage of usage?

that?

Good to hear. There are some people who could do with a bit less colour clashing on their sites as it is without adding even more

I hope the editor design remains and ships with the way it looks now. It really does serve as a nice baseline and gives that neutrality which gives off a nice clean look. The editor is now going to be easy to style (with xenforo kindly introducing Style properties) Thanks Mike. So this alone is a bonus to those that want to change the look, xenforo understands that people will want to change it (like they do with node icons) and given us that option.

Already the likes of @Sheldon have posted re-coloured icons. @Luxus as posted a tinymce look and a few others have also posted their enhancements so this alone tells you the visuals can be changed easily with minimum effort. This to me tells me the devs understood that people may want to change the look and given us the option to do so. Easily.

I'll say it again. Excellent work indeed and I personally feel you've done a great job with the editor (with all of 1.2 infact) but especially the editor.

If I had one concern it would be to ship the default editor like in the screenshot (below).

I'm sure I've seen that colour scheme somewhere before . . . . *muses*

Too bright?

It needs more lime and garishness.

 

[CTXMedia]

No - just fine I think. What about everyone else?

 

[Lisa]

Too bright?

Not enough bevel and shadows on the borders!

Really?

 

[Lisa]

Really?

Totally.. needs so much more......

 

[Shelley]

Yeah, bevelling is an extra. If people require bevelling, a bevelled look it'll require a small fee when i release this fine editor enhancement.

At this point, I think the point(s) have been made and whatever feedback is buried in here has been seen.
