Very very very bad editor design!

[Claudio]

After all the suggestions regarding the colors of the buttons I'm 100% sure that somebody will upload the buttons in many different colors and all of us will be happy.

Please remember that the editor buttons are placed on the style folder (http://xenforo.com/community/styles/default/xenforo/editor/icons.png so they won't be rewritten if you upgrade xenforo.

I noticed this a few minutes ago so I apologize for my previous suggestions. I thought the editor buttons were placed in a different folder with the risk of being rewritten by each upgrade.

Simply use CSS to do just that.

.redactor_toolbar li a:active, .redactor_toolbar li a.redactor_act {
    background-color: #000000 !important;
}

Change color code to suit.

I'm sure Kier will realize that the buttons are fugly and will change them.

I'm not keen on the popups for alignment and links .. yet.

Sorry with lots of respect I don't get the end of what you said.
Are you saying there is an important reason in terms of styling why the background colour cannot be default @primaryLighter ?

Because its fairly ugly?


Grey is easier to create a gradient, it looks neutral and looks fairly decent in most styles (without edits).

Well, I see it the other way around.

And since it's easy to adjust colors, the default forum package should be consistent all the way down to the editor. It just doesnt make sense as it is now.

I'll refer to Brogan's comment. It was designed to be grey, and doesn't look out of place or unfinished to me.

That's just because you suck with designing.

You could just use the same gradient as the likesSummary or the breadcrumb and go from there.

@Shelley, I started with PrimaryLight and just use consecutively lighter ones. I didn't actually want to try to make it look good, but the idea is clearly displayed.

Forsaken, I used Morgain's suggestion as a basis. Didn't actually wanna fight with it.

Oh i got the point you were making right away, i knew what you meant even before that when you had to make the explanation. I very much agreed with what you've said and what you have been saying.

there is still a huge advantage regarding customizing the design of the Editor:

we do not need to switch into "Debug Mode"

I don't think you need to go into debug mode to get an awesome enhancement such as the following. Thoughts on the design?

 

[Jeremy]

@Shelley, I'm sold. Lets get that into Core! But Erich wasn't saying we need to go into debug. I actually had a post typed out saying pretty much what you do and realized the post was complaining about editing of email templates requires debug mode, not changing the editor.

Right. Tomorrow the agenda is selling this to Mike Brogan and the rest of the team. I'll need your backup. Anyone else that wants to jump on board now is the chance.

Ps. hopefully they won't approve it.

a little copy/paste background css from the like's div in firebug. Borders could go a bit darker I guess.

don't sell it too cheap... I would say at least 2000 - 3000 USD.
... and make sure you have a Copyright on it beforehand.

Not bad, but I personally prefer the grey. I'll probably let my designer change my editor if he wants.

Yeah. I'm prity much in the agreement with @King Kovifor that it doesn't look too bad but the grey is better imo. Eitherway, whatever the outcome I know the editor visual will be easy to change so I'll change mine to my preference regardless of the outcome.

 

[Jeremy]

@Shelley, you know all those member card designs? I'm expecting a bunch of editor designs.

 

[fattony69]

This editor is faster. That's all I care about.

 

[Shelley]

That's right.

I'm waiting for a new icon resource for Redactor from @Shelley

Are these the icons you were waiting for that were from the dark new horizons style I did?

edit: not all added yet. But these are kind of old designs but designs i'll probably release first.
