@Skyler Right?

2:11 AM

Is there a way to upload images from mobile?

@DanielSank Just paste the raw link for the image

It'll show up in the chat

@BernardoMeurer Would you mind testing something for me?

@SirCumference What's up?

Would ya mind trying out a userscript I wrote, which adds a design to astronomy SE?

Let me see the code

@BernardoMeurer So?

2:27 AM

Sure, I'll run it

tell me how

K, you have tampermonkey (or greasmonkey if you're on Firefox)?

Let me get firefox, I don't want that on my main browser

@BernardoMeurer It just lets you add userscripts

Pretty useful

I know

I hate it

:O

2:33 AM

@BernardoMeurer you have weird preferences

Okay, I got greasemonkey

@DavidZ I don't like things that make it easy for the user to do stupid things

I'm a systems developer

@BernardoMeurer OK, so click here and install it

Done?

Yeah

@BernardoMeurer it's one thing to not want to use it yourself (which is smart, that I get), but to hate it on principle is a whole different matter

@BernardoMeurer So now go to astronomy.stackexchange.com

Do you see the design?

2:37 AM

@DavidZ I hate it in principle. The user is cattle and it should be herded like such

Hence I say you have weird preferences

@BernardoMeurer It's not a problem if you know what you're doing

@BernardoMeurer Huh...

You sure it's loaded?

@DavidZ Agreed :P

Check the console

2:39 AM

@SirCumference FYI the favicon is uncomfortably close to that of Worldbuilding

@DavidZ Woah...

Never even realized it...

@SirCumference It's not loading here. I have it installed but greasemonkey won't load it

@BernardoMeurer Console errors?

@DavidZ Hmm...have any ideas on what I should make instead?

Aha!

You have to be logged in for it to work

@BernardoMeurer Wait really?

2:40 AM

Woah it stopped working

That's...not good

I saw it for a second

@BernardoMeurer What

Please check the console

It worked, it was like black and had a telescope and stuf

It's a good thing I'm testing it btw, thanks

2:41 AM

then I alt tabbed to tell you you had to be logged

and it's back to normal

"No installed scripts run on this page"

@BernardoMeurer Wtf

@BernardoMeurer OK, does the console say anything?

Do Ctrl + Shift + K (or Cmd + Option + K if you're on Mac)

Blank

What...

OK, does it work on any other browsers?

Greasemonkey isn't loading the script on that URL

I can test on Opera if you want

@BernardoMeurer That'd be good

@BernardoMeurer Wait, does the code you see in Greasemonkey match up with the code from the chat message I posted earlier?

2:45 AM

@SirCumference Just use the telescope you incorporated into the main site logo

BTW @BernardoMeurer could it be an HTTPS thing? I noticed the script only works on HTTPS URLs

Yep

@DavidZ You're right

it's https

I had it just http

Now it works

@BernardoMeurer What on earth...?

Oh...

I'm an idiot

Thanks

Working fine on Opera with TamperMonkey

@SirCumference No problems

I'll go back to playing Civ 5

2:49 AM

@BernardoMeurer Thanks a ton man

That fixes an important problem

DanielSank

3:14 AM

@SirCumference can't. It's on my phone.

3:46 AM

@DanielSank Your phone can't copy/paste?

@BernardoMeurer BTW, what did you think of the design? Any suggestions?

4:03 AM

@SirCumference I quite liked it, I much prefer dark to white websites

easy on the eyes

Good to hear :)

DanielSank

@SirCumference interesting idea...

@BernardoMeurer Wait

The header is not supposed to look like that...

It should look like this

Can you try re-clicking that link I first sent you?

Wait

Yeah, try re-clicking it

@BernardoMeurer You may be in a minority there. Physics started out with a dark design. Almost everybody hated it.

@DavidZ Uh oh

Based on that screenshot, do you think Astro looks good?

Secret

4:19 AM

How are chat themes in SE chat rooms designed?

@SirCumference Well, in my usage, your design does not qualify as dark. I mean white text on a black background.

Oh

So...what would you rate it?

I think it looks nice

For reference:

Q: Design for Physics-SE

Hi all. I'm Jin, and I'll be working on the designs for the Stack Exchange sites as they graduate from the beta phase. Each site will have its own unique theme that will reflect its topic. However, all sites will share quite a bit of common elements so they feel like they're part of the Stack Exc...

^^ don't do that

Secret

can chat owners or above set the chat theme?

Nope, chat themes are set by SE, along with the site design

Secret

4:27 AM

I see

You can change the theme for yourself, of course, by installing a custom script or stylesheet, but that only works for you

@DavidZ I don't see that scaling well onto a 32x32 favicon

Any other ideas?
