The Like icon, wut?
-
Has something updated?
When I clicked the heart icon, it would disappear and the 'you liked this' thing would emerge. Now, though, the heart icon appears to remain.
Meaning that now I have to hover over fucking posts in the Like thread to see if I liked them because the pink/grey is so diluted when not hovered that I can't tell them apart at a glance.
Barrier to like topics, yadda yadda

pink/grey is so diluted
It is a different color? Currently the only way me and me fellow color blinds can make the distinction is looking if the text. You liked this is there.
-
Yup, it's a different colour but the opacity reduces the differentiation and if you are colour blind I can certainly see how it could be problematic.
But of course, Jeff wouldn't care.

Shameless cross-post for people not insane enough to participate in the likes topic:

Oh, right, can't do that either! Ok then, I will waste space and upload it again.

You have an evil sense of humour.

TRWTF: Not letting a script do your liking.
-
Well, there's that, but it's still a usability issue elsewhere too.
-
To me it makes sense to see a red heart within the posts I liked, but I can see how it can be troublesome for the colorblind. Also, if they want to make it into an indicator, it shouldn't fade away along with other buttons (which are not indicators).
-
Isn't this how Dicsourse first did things when we started? And then they changed it because of our complaints regarding our colorblind friends. Seems like they've taken a step backward.
-
That wouldn't surprise me, actually, now that Jeff feels he doesn't need to listen to us.

I thought we were complaining about the like button disappearing when you clicked it instead of being an undo button. Which was it?
-
instead of being an undo button
If it's going to be an undo button, it should look like it would actually undo something. Rather than, you know, looking exactly the fucking same as it did before you clicked it.
-

This?
-
Yes, that's the one. It's retarded.
-
Ok, fine, but why does it disappear once I can't remove the like any more? Buttons had a
disabledattribute last time I checked...
-

Wait, Jeff at one time felt he needed to listen to us? When did that happen?

Listening is the act of sitting in the presence of a talker and giving the general appearance of being interested in what is said.
-
Yeah, but he only ever did the first bit of that.
-

Listening is a barrier to reading.

Wait, when did the like icon turn puke green? I think I preferred the pink.
It's even closer to the grey colour when not hovered over than the not-fully-opaque pink was.
-

Around here. The hover effect was changed later to match.
-
It's still more stupid than it was before.
-
That's why I put this in my Stylish:
nav.post-controls button.like:hover { color: #0FA3C0 !important; background: #e9e9e9 !important; } nav.post-controls button.has-like { color: #0FA3C0 !important; }Same gray background effect as the other buttons and blue for the heart when hovered/liked. Not tested for color-blindness, though.
-
I think I saw that color heart in Alien vs. Predator
-
Ok - in all seriousness, which hex codes would be better than the original pink, which some complained were also too close to the grey?
-
#ff0000or another intense shade of red?
It would be pretty un-grey!
And red is a good colour for hearts.
-
My opinion is two posts up, though it isn't much better in glimpses to see if it is active (but I think that's due to the fading out effect of Desktop view, where the only option for "at a glimpse" would be something strong, like a red).
-
#ff0000 or another intense shade of red?
It doesn't really stand out when not hovering over the post though:
-
Limited opacity is a barrier to comprehension.
-
nav.post-controls button.like:hover {
color: #0FA3C0 !important;
background: #e9e9e9 !important;
}nav.post-controls button.has-like { color: #0FA3C0 !important; }
Same gray background effect as the other buttons and blue for the heart when hovered/liked. Not tested for color-blindness, though.
Even less of a distinction when not hovered:
-
In which case, to reduce how bad the opacity is, you have to override these:
.discourse-no-touch .post-cloak div.actions, .discourse-no-touch .post-cloak .post-actions { opacity: 0.2; } .post-cloak:hover div.actions, .post-cloak:hover .post-actions { opacity: 1; }That low of opacity will pretty much render any choice as not viable "at a glance". And, apparently, custom styles on the non-hover also affect the hover. I hate CSS sometimes.
If you didn't want to change the opacity, you'd probably have to make the background a color and the heart white.
Also, CSS changes are streamed in now? I saw you lock the opacity, then make it always invisible, then always opaque.
-
How about just cutting the fucking opacity changing?
We're big people we can handle having controls always be visible at full opacity.
-
-
This is a lot better now.
-
Ok - anyone any major objections to what it is now then?
-
"color" is misspelled
-
I know, but if I spell it 'colour', then the CSS won't render properly...
-
We were enjoying watching your changes live on that other thread.
-
No-one wondering what was going on then?
-
I just noticed something now that the heart stays visible. Has there always been a time limit on undoing a like, or is that new?
-

But both grey and gray work. Fucking Dicsourse, can't you ever be consist... No, wait, that's just CSS.
-

Been there for as long as I can remember it.
-
Maybe increase the contrast of the hover colors by making the background lighter.
-
I think he's referring to the change where the like button is now a toggle instead of a button that goes away when the post is liked.Derp.
-
Not having to deal with opacity changing makes a huge difference, thank you.
This is how it's supposed to be
-
I guess I just never noticed the "Undo like" text going away before. It's a lot more obvious now which posts I've liked.
-

I don't think that anyone can argue with that.
-
I think what can be argued is that I didn't read the full quoted post.
I didn't, by the way.
-

I agree with non-changing opacities, even if it didn't bother me before.This is how it's supposed to be
But I'd tone down the
button.has-likered a bit. #F00 is too much in-your-face.
