If you check this box, it'll keep you in a mode where saving an alt
style redirects you to the *next* one that needs labeling, until
they're all done. Useful for big drops!
Before this change, pages that opt in with `use_responsive_design`
would often have the top nav be real cluttered for logged-in users. (I
think I happened to first test this responsive design without being
logged in on my dev box, oops!) Because the home link and `#userbar`
were absolutely positioned on the page, they would frequently overlap.
Here, I stop doing our old tricks to make the top nav load last on the
page. (This was to get "main content" loading faster, which I think is
a. not as relevant today with more commonly faster connections, and b.
was a bit naive to think that it'd be helpful to have to wait a long
time to _navigate_ if a page is unexpectedly large.)
These tricks used to leave some padding at the top of the `#container`,
which these elements would then visually fill via `position: absolute`
once they load.
Next, I update the CSS (for the responsive design pages only) to use
the new `#main-nav` container to lay them out in Flexbox: all in one
row if possible, or wrapped if needed.
Some designs hide stuff like this into a hamburger menu or such when
the screen gets small. I haven't done that here! No specific reason,
I'm just not sold that it's that much better, or worth the trouble.
I tested this on the following combinations:
1. Logged out, homepage
2. Logged in, homepage
3. Logged out, `/items`
4. Logged in, `/items`
5. Logged out, `/items/89487-Dyeworks-Purple-Haunted-Sky-Background`
6. Logged in, `/items/89487-Dyeworks-Purple-Haunted-Sky-Background`
Hope it's solid! 🤞
The lists of pet types and pet states had very similar styles, which I
mostly copy-pasted. Now that I want to use them for Alt Styles too, I'm
refactoring!
Now that we have such a convenient lil outfit viewer component we built
for the item page preview, it's easy peasy to drop it in here too! And
it's all nice and lightweight, since in this case it's basically just.
image tags, with some supporting enhancements.
Anyway, this page has no actual useful styles of its own yet. Gonna
make it look nice and such!
Oh sweet, I learned about a new CSS feature with good-enough support!
This lets you use CSS transitions for an element as it enters the page,
or becomes visible.
Firefox only has partial support for this feature rn, but its partial
support covers our case, I tested to make sure! (Specifically, it
doesn't handle transitioning from `display: none` yet, which isn't what
we're doing.)
Yeah, I don't remember why So Many Years Ago I felt it was important to
use the Droid fonts; I adapted this choice into the Noto fonts when
modernizing the other day, but, tbh, the default system fonts are
probably just a better fit for like. everything we do, and then *not*
downloading MB of font files.
I also feel like a lot of the contexts where we used serif fonts were
like, frankly incidental, based on where we chose `<p>` for semantic
reasons? I don't think any of them actually are made much better by
serifs, I'm okay with just simplifying and dropping that, instead of
looking for a better serif font stack to replace it.
This shouldn't ever be an issue in practice? I just noticed it because
something funny is going on with the `#userbar` element specifically
not using the Delicious font, and so I figured, hey, this simulates a
very real possible scenario, I'd rather use our consistent sans font
in this case!
Huh okay, moving to my other machine, the change to Noto Sans subtly
broke the homepage layout a bit, wrapping the form buttons to the next
line in the three module sections.
Here, I refactor to more modern grid/flexbox sensibilities. Btw, there
was a Flexbox thing that didn't work quite how I expected? I commented
on my confusion, but checked in Chrome and Firefox and it seems to work
in both, so, ok!
Okay cool, so this was an error that was happening *only* when building
assets for production: Sass's CSS minifier isn't familiar with all
modern CSS syntax (I think is the issue?), and so errors on things that
are actually totally okay.
I had previously worked around this in `swf_assets/show.css` with an
equivalent syntax that Sass recognized. But in this latest case with
the new `fonts.css.erb`, it was upset about the `src` list for the
fonts, and I don't know a workaround for that.
So, let's just disable Sass's CSS minification for now. I imagine the
difference isn't huge when CSS compresses just fine with gzip anyway?
(Most of what you can "minify" in CSS is whitespace, and that largely
seems silly to me when gzip is running.)
I was just scrolling our CSS and surprised to find we use Google Fonts
embeds! I don't like depending on external hosts like that.
Google Fonts doesn't offer the Droid fonts for download anymore,
though—looks like the Noto fonts are their spiritual successor. The
Droid Serif and Noto Serif fonts look visually identical to me, but the
Sans ones are a bit different… I kinda like the charm of the Droid Sans
better, but ah well! I'd rather be moving forward with a more modern
font with more reliable glyph support etc for now.
I think this has just been broken for a long time? And I don't think
it's very useful in a world 15 years later, where our problem *used* to
be giant gaps in our library, which isn't really our data problem
anymore.
No more of this loading everything into `application.css`! I'm
arbitrarily starting here because that's where I've been playing
lately, but this is part of a larger effort to move toward a more
straightforward CSS architecture (and away from Sass even?)
I skipped this for a bit because I couldn't think of a simple way to
adapt this behavior to a web component + vanilla CSS setting, but then
I thought of CSS variables, and sat down and cranked this out!
I noticed the last row of the species faces required a scroll, I forget
when that happened! But I made some tweaks, most notably widened the
container from the normal 800px, so that on bigger screens everything
lays out and aligns nice, without requiring any scrolling of the face
container!
Oh right, forgot about this lol!
The specific effect on Impress 2020 where the button label expands is,
kinda hard to implement in normal CSS/JS, and so I'm not in the mood
and I'm settling for the `title` attribute lol
Oh right, I need the error indicator to be part of a container that
also contains the outfit viewer, to appear below it!
I was motivated because I realized I forgot the Customize More button
so now I'm building it lol
The loading indicator *should* fade in after two seconds, to avoid a
flash of a loading indicator when the page loads quickly - but in some
circumstances it wouldn't delay:
1. Visit an item page. (It delays correctly the first time!)
2. Click "Infinite Closet", then click a link to another item page.
3. The loading indicator appears immediately, because this time the
web component JS is already loaded, so the `outfit-layer` elements
enter `:state(loading)` *immediately*. The element starts at
`opacity: 1`, and the delay doesn't matter, because it was never at
anything else.
In this change, we have the `outfit-viewer` web component take on a
`:state(after-first-frame)`, after a `setTimeout(0)` resolves. That
enables the loading state CSS to *never* apply on the first frame, but
then sometimes kick in on the *second* frame, so that the element is
correctly perceived as "transitioning" from hidden to visible, and the
two-second delay will apply.
