Hooray for color changing theme! I literally change color after a couple of minutes. XD Is there gonna be more colors soon?

I love you now Oni. This is freaking amazing.

EDIT: I've noticed one bug, when you navigate to another page, it reverts back to red before changing to your chosen colour.

That's not a bug. The colour changer uses cookies, however, the default is red. So it defaults to red and then once the cookies for the theme have been loaded, changes the colour depending on the cookie that is set.

Cookies:

Code:
themeColor=default; //red
themeColor=blue; //blue
themeColor=green; //greem

Still a bug... Tongue

( @Oni )

I feel like the colour chooser needs a holder, not just floating around.

I edited the CSS a little. Here's the output;

Spoiler: Holder

CSS:

Code:
#theme_styler {
position: absolute;
z-index: 9999;
top: -30px;
right: -1px;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 6px;
background: transparent url(https://www.sinister.ly/images/e-red/container_bg.png) top left repeat;
border-right: 1px solid #383838;
border-top: 1px solid #383838;
}

Great job, @Dynaxel, Oni and I have been talking about this for months now. Glad to see it became a reality.

No, it is not. I would like to see you make cookies load instantaneously, my good friend.

what about replace images with svgs? its easier for colour changing and definitely the overall customization

@Oni, why aren't you using PHP for this? You could use AJAX to set a variable in the user table and set the colours before the page even loads.

Something I sort of miss, is the Nullchan link on the multicolor one. Not a big deal, but I liked using it to easily check both sites at the same time.

Ahh, my dear Duubz. You're missing the point. No matter what the cause, it's still a bug.

I understand cookies and I understand what has caused the problem, but that doesn't mean it's not a problem.

If cookies don't work, then maybe server-side scripting should be considered to hardwire the changes to an account. Not only would this possibly solve the problem, but the changes would be saved across computers.

Think about it...

It will be re-added. No worries. If it's not back in a few days, remind me.

We'll see. No promises.
