mapping out characters

[DanielH]

Yeah, I speak grep, but the context from the text files wouldn’t be that helpful. There’s the structured data that the program can read, which stores a bunch of other stuff like date, comment author, moiety, etc., and there’s the HTML files which get zipped to make the epub, which have all of those except in a presentable form. Neither is conductive to seeing the next and previous comments easily (especially when I don’t know how comments before or after any given match I’ll want).

I could have used

Code: Select all

grep -il "favou*rite person" chapters_pbtxt/* | xargs less "++/favou*rite person"

However, by the time I found the ++ option to less I could have searched the epub file again for both words again just in case, and had the nice formating. Either way, I would have found two more places that look relevant.

Shoal, how did you get the icons to dim? I was looking yesterday for something similar and couldn’t find any CSS that looked like it could handle that.

I think the first link is what i was remembering, thanks! linkhyrule5, were any of those links what you were thinking of?

I have a dark background + on the customcss page (which i'm not sure if all styles have but mine does anyway) http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/opt ... =customcss

Code: Select all

.textbox {
    background-color: #000928; 
    color:#4f5e91;
    font-size: 100%;
}
img {  
    opacity: .6;
    filter:alpha(opacity=60);
} 
img:hover {
    opacity: 1;
    filter.alpha(opacity=100);
}
#header {
    display: none;
}

the textbox bit puts a nice dark blue background for the comment window so that it's not bright white when i try to leave someone a message. The images get bright again if you mouse over them but it like the faded most of the time. and i have the header hidden because it's annoying to scroll through it with giant font.

And the font is specified on the fonts tab http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=fonts and I specified my very favourite monospace font Inconsolata at 300%.

The style is really ugly but it's soothing on the eyes at the same time. Dark brown background with golden brown text, and the comment boxes are dark blue background with pale blue text. :)

I think I had to do it slightly differently on LiveJournal to get it to work.

Yeah, I did:

Code: Select all

body, .textbox {
    font-family: Inconsolata, Ubuntu, Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    background-color: #000928; 
    color:#4f5e91;
}

img {  
    opacity: .6;
    filter:alpha(opacity=60);
} 

img:hover {
    opacity: 1;
    filter:alpha(opacity=100);
} 

.asset-body, .comment-body, .textbox {
    font-size: 40px;
}

#container-inner {
    width: 100%;
}

#alpha {
    width: 85%;
}

.layout-tw #alpha-inner {
    width: 95%;
}

edit to add that I don'T remember why the img had to be both opacity: .6 and filter:alpha(opacity=60); but it might have been a cross-browser compatibility thing.

Yeah, those were the ones I was looking for. Thanks!

Do you have any nonwhite PBs for bellsiblings?

I tentatively had a black female Alex but don't remember who and am not sure I wrote her down. Otherwise no.
