Profile Page Transparency

[shipment]

I believe a simple addition of transparency to the CSS used on the profile page elements is needed. Profile backgrounds are essentially made worthless on any screen that isn't within 16:9 and beyond, at that point, why bother with them at all considering the sizable amount of active phoneposters? It's a small change but I believe it'll go a long way. Looking beyond the visual standpoint, it'll entice new users to customize their profiles beyond basic profile pictures and banners, a feature that in of itself attracts pooners like a moth to a light. Having a fine-tuned profile of your own may also aid in user retention so there's that.

Make it an optional thing it looks shit in most profiles

what the fuck @Cat the pfps are transparent too
can you fire the jeets who did this shoddy job

fucking everyting is transparent i can see through my fucking bcc

i can see through the epsteins files' censorship

That's because I did it in a lazy way

.block:has(.memberHeader), .block:has(.message--simple){
    opacity:0.95;
}

i'll fix it soon

Make it an optional thing it looks shit in most profiles

it's a profile option now and can be from 0.5-1

Also couldn't colors be translucent? It's better than completely making everything translucent and just the background of messages so the background is visible

 

[Barry]

Okay there that should be much better. I think it should be from 0.65 to 1 since 0.5 looks unreadable on some themes

 

[blackops2]

doesn't work on some themes like creepy chrimstmussy and soyfarms

Super spotty compatibility but it's an improvement over everything being transparent.

Marge what are you doing

 

[Barry]

Marge what are you doing

I changed the transparency thing so it doesn't make images and pfps transparent but some themes don't use the xenforo css variables for some reason and I don't care enough to fix it now

holy standardization fail. @Cat get to it and remember you do it for free.

I think it's because -xf-contentBg--a is defined in variations.less so it only works if the theme you're using has a dark/light variant

It could get redefined in other templates and have themes use that instead of directly using the hsla value but I don't know how work that is to set it up. Xenforonoobs...
