newz2000hey mdke21:47
mdkenewz2000: do you think this search box thing is a blocker for the wiki theme? it's a definite pain in the behind21:50
newz2000the way search words are obscured by the edit bar at the bottom?21:51
mdkeyeah21:52
newz2000I don't know if it's a blocker, but it does need to be addressed21:52
mdkemm21:52
newz2000I wonder if we can use the translucent-until-hover trick to make it less noticable21:52
newz2000set the opacity on the bar to something like 40% then when you hover set it to 100%21:53
newz2000this can be done purely in css21:53
mdkethat would be clever, although I guess the text would conflict with the text in the editbar21:53
newz2000possibly21:54
mdkeI'll try21:54
mdkethanks21:54
newz2000do you know how to do this?21:54
newz2000if the editbar has an ID of editbar then the css rule would be #editbar { opacity: 0.4; } and then also #editbar:hover { opacity 1.0; }21:55
mdkenewz2000: no, I didn't - thanks :)22:00
knomenewz2000, if you need any help with the feature tour or any web relate issue, please pm me22:33
mdkenewz2000: no, it doesn't work too well. Maybe playing around with the colours will though22:33
knomenewz2000, i'll part from this channel, too much following @ irc22:33
Volans_awaymdke: have you tried to put the bottom bar only in the left and right, leaving the center without bar?22:34
Volans_awaycan be a solution if not so bad graphically22:34
mdkeVolans_away: well, there is not much space for most resolutions to just use the edges, and the page width is fixed...22:35
=== Volans_away is now known as Volans
Volansright... and put it on the top is too invasive?22:36
mdkeI think so yeah22:36
Volanslatest two ideas...22:37
Volansput it vertically on the left.... OR put only a small box at bottom left saying something like "Quick Links" and when onmouseover on the box show the complete tab22:39
mdkeooh, something like the second solution might work. newz2000 ?22:39
knomeonmouseover is risky though :)22:39
newz2000mdke: yeah, that would work22:39
newz2000needs javascript to work well though22:40
newz2000though a suckerfish style menu can be done with css only22:40
mdkelike an arrow in the bottom which would bring across the editbar22:40
* mdke googles "suckerfish"22:40
newz2000son of suckerfish actually. :-)22:40
mdkeI see it22:41
mdkethat looks pretty promising22:42
mdkeI'll have a play around22:42
mdkenice idea Volans22:43
* mdke bbl22:43
Volansthanks :)22:43
Volansbut as newz2000 pointed before require javascript22:44
newz2000suckerfish can work without js ok22:44
newz2000on newer browsers22:44
newz2000adding a little js makes it a bit smoother though22:45
mdkewell, javascript is well beyond me. But I'll give suckerfish a go and see what it looks like :D22:47
mdkemmm http://mondaybynoon.com/examples/suckerfish_hoverlightbox_redux/22:51
newz2000oooh, pretty22:55
mdkegah, no luck with suckerfish for now23:24
mdkeI'll try again another day!23:25
mdkegood night all and thanks23:25
Volansbye mdke23:26
