Not sure how I feel about these blue boxes, but it was a bit boring without them

and yes I gotta slap a max width on the nav
Blue boxes better, confirmed
@Jochem ?

🤢
😅
Don't like it either
it looks like there's a saturation filter on the entire thing, makes me want to check my monitor >_>
fair

Bad-eyesight-man no likey that…uhh…green?

More soothing to mine eyes
dufuq my a11y contrast meter gone?

I swear it was here
It took the day off. Y'know, contractual obligations and whatnot? lol
ah nvm, the a11y tool was in the colour picker... logic

@Jochem @13eck.c I'm really happy with this

what do yall think?
I still think it feels a little desaturated. The picture might be contributing, with you in the shade and the background in the sun?
it's a nice photo, though
the left side looks like it has the brightness turned down, the right side is sunny bright
maybe it's the gray-ish background tricking our eyes?
I still think this is very saturated

Picture I'm happy with for now, I
I will take some more portraits soon
This was the best business one I had on Photofeeler lol
hawaiian shirt
the photo looks good
dark theme

Photo looks great, yeah. But the boxes on the left need more colour. They just look bland next to the brightness of the picture
@13eck.c this bright enough?
left side needs to be brighter still?
oof ok
My eyes have a hard time seeing very light/muted tones. So it's physically painful for me to look at as my eyes try to see a colour they just can't
The first one you shared looks really good. Not too loud but bright enough to not hurt my eyes
This one, too, looks pretty good. And the light/dark dichotomy helps to "unmute" the main colour
@Jochem first one or the one Beck just mentioned?
first one is much brighter but more desaturated iirc
The photo looks much brighter in this message
than in this one
it is more zoomed out tbf

@Jochem



omg I'm so indecisive
That’s pretty obvious lol
what about the dotted shadow effect to add some texture? 🤷 https://codepen.io/kevinpowell/pen/wBaxORJ/07a889c771fb734ca14029b7df33b1c2
or is that trend too old now? 😆
oooo could work
I'm trying something new rn

F’in sexy
um
is there a way to put text shadow behind

cause this aint gon work
and the contrast is not the best without

like a stroke?
yea
MDN Web Docs
-webkit-text-stroke - CSS | MDN
The -webkit-text-stroke CSS property specifies the width and color of strokes for text characters. This is a shorthand property for the longhand properties -webkit-text-stroke-width and -webkit-text-stroke-color.
🤔

yikes! that font is bad
it's a feature not a bug
I doubt they thought of someone doing this
try another font, and it shouldn't happen
brightness filter is not too bad

That’s cool on the big text but g*daweful at small size
amazed this works:
You can use paint-order to fix the stroke now
oh
that i dont think i knew about
That type of thing happens on a lot of fonts, so adding text strokes is often useless... Or was until they added that
As a bonus, by the stroke being painted first, it doesn't cut into the font either.
maybe it's best to fake it with a text shadow? or svg?
for browser support, yeah
wait... there's a thread here too ?
Yeah, Zach's breaking all the rules today
he talks here every once in a blue moon, gotta make it count
