fix illegible text on recent oekaki preview on some themes

Postby I Like Bees » Wed Sep 10, 2025 9:04 am

    For the longest time I didn't even know there was a visible timer on that little recent Oekaki preview bar in the middle of the forum index and the top of the Oekaki index because I use Christmas theme, and it looks like this:
    Image
    (Art removed just in case the artists would prefer! Usernames remain because that's part of the text contrast issue)

    There is text there though, it's just so low contrast it's near impossible to read
    Image

    So I went through the rest of the site themes, and I've classified their text issues in this location as follows:

    Irredeemable (absolutely must be fixed. completely illegible):
    Christmas:
    Image
    Outrun:
    Image

    Kinda ehhh (I can read it but it could be better):
    Space:
    Image
    Halloween:
    Image

    Totally fine (everything else. image only included for comparison):
    Image

    My suggestion is that Christmas and Outrun themes have their text contrast fixed in this area of the site. The Space and Halloween themes are optional but highly recommended for an adjustment as well.

This is such an interesting issue I've never noticed before since I only use on theme always. Good on you for noticing this issue :3

Lyric box hereLyric box here
You say that you love me,
And I write it all down
So when you're gone I'll remember.
But as I get old I find,
I can't trust my own mind
And your words all break down into laughter...













Tasks:
[*] Turn quote into images, with caveat font
[*] Resize stars to fit side images
[*]Add fox
[*] Add hidden links
[*] Fill in words
[*] Design lyric box
[*] Fix the credit and largerer padding alignment issues (will fix when done procastinating)
[*] Link FA and art thread

There's simply no reason to disagree with fixing an accessibility issue with text contrast, so I'm not including it. It's like if I asked for a typo to be fixed. The poll is up so people can support without having to make a post on the thread ^^ Hope that helps clarify!
