MArcomage

We implemented the new skin module, but it still needs some tweaking. Use this alternative client to check it out:

http://arcomage.netvor.sk/css3/

New features (check settings section):

- skin selection
- game background image selection

Since it is based on new CSS3 technology, which is still only beeing developed, it has not very good browser support, yet.

Best support offers latest version of Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html). Only feature which is not supported by Firefox is the background image resize, so when you select a background picture it does not cover the entire screen. This feature is on the other hand supported by Opera (http://www.opera.com/), which however does not support some other features.

So I recommend Firefox for these experimental features. Developers of both Firefox and Opera are working on CSS3 support, so it is only a matter of time when all features are supported by both browsers.

Currently all other browsers have inferior CSS3 support compared to Firefox and Opera, with the exception of Safari.

Please try it out and let us know what you think of it.

It looks pretty good. A definite update from before. But I've already found a problem: When playing a game, the "action" labels above the cards (such as PLAYED or DISCARDED or NEW CARD) don't show up when the little box is white. Might want to take a look at that. :)

Screenshots please.

Sigh... Where is a good place to put it? Ha ha.

Interesting... what browser do you use (version)?

It should look like this:

Firefox 3.0.13.

Well, I have 3.5.2. I recommend to update to 3.5.x version, since it has much better CSS3 support.

The grey text underneath games saying 'This Game Can Be Aborted' is extremely hard to see.

Please specify the skin you are reffering to.

The default one. Dark Blue, I guess.

Yes, it really is not clearly readable. Thanks for your report ;-)

Few minor things in "Old skin (dark)"

1. The yellow writing on cards and in chat needs to be changed to black.
2. The resources areas on both sides should revert to the old format (this keeps with the original game plus it was MUCH easier to read).
3. Under the "Games" tab, there needs to be a better distinguisher from online/offline than just italics. The green border worked well before, I vote keep it.
4. The in-game background should be used always as the background.

Constructive criticism! :)

To jbryant3:

1 & 2 - please send screenshot (and browser version)
3 - "The green border worked well before". Yes but we already have a color-coded information on that button (if you can play your turn in corresponding game). Having two color coded inforamtions on one element plus supporting multiple skins is quite impossible. That's why I was forced to change it to italics.
4 - having a background image in other sections makes the text less readable. So I think it is better to have it only in game. Besides that's the section where most time is spent, isn't it?

There are serious readability issues with all of the 'Light' themes (Clouds, Purple, Rain)... particularly on the settings screen, where the text becomes nigh-invisible.

(Using the newest Firefox, if relevant)

Using Chrome, just updated today from their website.

The menu on the Webpage screen has the buttons scattered at the top: http://fmroses.us/personal/DPsycho/Menu.jpg It looks like this for all but one of the pages.

When on the Hall of Fame page, it changes to this: http://fmroses.us/personal/DPsycho/Menu2.jpg

To Endovior: Please send screenshot.

Sure.

Dude, hit F5. *sigh* Does nobody actually read the news section? @_@

Ah. Ouch.

Yeah, that's much better.
