Geomol 30-May-2007 [561] | Yes, I'm trying that out with gray comments. A good idea. Should known words (the words REBOL deliver in system/words as default) be green or blue, now comments aint blue? |
[unknown: 9] 30-May-2007 [562x3] | I find when I have to correlate something to colours or patterns it is better to start with the patterns first. Since there are really only a few colours people can distinguish against white (or black) we can just like them hour: Black = Structure, brackets, etc. Gray = Comments Dark blue Light blue Red Pink Purple Dark green Light green Brown Orange Yellow (perhaps) More subtle colours cause confusion. You also have Bold and Italics to consider. I would use these to show "new" items (bold). Also, you can do white on colour (BG). |
like them hour should have been "list them here" (yes, I'm insane!) | |
In general you want to have it such that if everything is good, there is little colour distinction. For example most everything is black, gray, and dark blue. The stranger the colour, the stranger of something you are trying to pull off in code. Red should mean the parser is totally confused for example. Or that the code is not actually code, but something that looks like code but is actually data. That type of things. | |
Geomol 30-May-2007 [565] | Comments could be italic. We're used to, that we can skip italics in text, I think. |
Gregg 30-May-2007 [566x2] | In ConText, I use bold+blue for for branching and a few other important funcs (if, either, all, etc.), navy for other funcs, green for datatypes, red for numbers, dark red for strings, gray for comments; brackets are dark gray, but go black to show matching pairs when you're on one. |
My thinking behind the bold+blue was driven by the concept of cyclomatic complexity (McCabe), and making things jump out that indicate complexity in code. I know if I see a lot of bold+blue stuff on the screen, I either need to think real hard, or rewrite it. :-) | |
Tomc 31-May-2007 [568x2] | the color scheme I use has red for native/action/op blue for mezz /functions green for comments and more muted colors for other types |
I auto generate the words so when a new rebol comes out I can notice if a word I happen to use already has a builtin purpose | |
Sunanda 31-May-2007 [570] | I see geomol has updated his personal CSS at the Library.....You can now look at any script using his set of colours and font effects...Much better than the system default!! Example: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?color=yes&script=acgiss.r&css=geomol (just add css=geomol to *any* Library URL. Or set your CSS preference). And anyone can play the game -- devise and publish your own CSS for script coloring or any other aspect of the Library: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/boiler.r?display=css-help.html |
Gregg 31-May-2007 [571] | Cool. I'll switch to John's CSS and post any thoughts. |
Sunanda 2-Jun-2007 [572x2] | REBOL.org looks like it is down right now -- the whole ISP who host it seem dead too. (they've not been as reliable since they merged with another ISP). Apolgies! This has no effect on REBOL.com or REBOL.net .... they are completely separate. |
We're back! Sorry, No idea why the outage. | |
Geomol 3-Jun-2007 [574] | Regarding my css "Suggested standard" in the Libarary, I think, the red for values is a bit too dark. Also the orange for refinements seem a bit too light. |
btiffin 5-Jun-2007 [575] | Rebolek posted the 800th script to rebol.org... Congratulations Boleslav. |
Rebolek 5-Jun-2007 [576] | I said I was aiming for 800th one... ;) So I had to quickly upload something ;) |
Geomol 5-Jun-2007 [577x2] | Spammer! ;-P |
No, it's good to have lots of content for visitors at the Library to grab. If only 10% of that is quality, it's very good! :-) | |
Rebolek 5-Jun-2007 [579] | Geomol, image the level of spam I'm going to produce when library will be close to 1000th script ;-) |
Sunanda 5-Jun-2007 [580] | Congratulations tp Rebolek!!! And now, 801! (One of Brian Eno's early post Roxy Music projects ......I'm showing my age here :-) Keep 'em coming! |
btiffin 5-Jun-2007 [581] | It was heart warming. I posted 798, 799...was just about to taunt people and there it was. 800. Kind of like magic. |
Maxim 5-Jun-2007 [582] | yep... and two of mine should follow yess? ;-) |
btiffin 5-Jun-2007 [583x3] | Yep... |
Meaning yep with a big smiley :) | |
Done. Maxim...you may want to update the History, date them for when you actually wrote the code... animresize.r and fastscroll.r | |
Maxim 5-Jun-2007 [586] | thanks |
btiffin 5-Jun-2007 [587x3] | Once you've had a chance to check them I'll drop myself as 'owner'.. :) |
Sunanda; Kids now-a-days... :) Don't know we owe a lot to Eno, Fripp, Manzanera... | |
Oh I forgot to mention Celine Dion...we owe a lot to Celine Dion too | |
Sunanda 5-Jun-2007 [590] | I think we may part company when it comes to Celine worship :-) |
Maxim 5-Jun-2007 [591] | Celine if you say pictures of her when she was a teenager... man... she'd make jaws run away in a pool! |
btiffin 5-Jun-2007 [592] | So what are you saying? I can't use a Celine theme for LD2? |
Sunanda 6-Jun-2007 [593] | As long as there is an option to mute the sound..... |
Robert 8-Jun-2007 [594] | Sunanda, does rebol.org use a Facicon? On my side none is shown. Would be nice to add one, as I have tens of sites opened at the same time and can't find rebol.org fast enough ;-) |
Sunanda 8-Jun-2007 [595x2] | Good idea! I *think* we had one at one time, but it isn't there now. Would you like to craft us one!? |
I did one -- it's live, but it's poor -- just our top-left image, so too small for practical benefit. Please -- anyone! -- do us a better one! | |
Izkata 8-Jun-2007 [597] | How big are favicons, usually? 10x10 pixels? |
Sunanda 8-Jun-2007 [598] | 16x16 is (a) standard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon I used this to create the current one: http://www.htmlkit.com/services/favicon/ |
Maxim 8-Jun-2007 [599] | I don't seem to be getting it in FF |
Izkata 8-Jun-2007 [600] | It showed up for me in FF.. |
Sunanda 8-Jun-2007 [601] | Works for me in FF, IE and Opera. You may need to have 2+ tabs open in FF (for different sites) before it shows in the tabs |
Volker 8-Jun-2007 [602] | firefox, white with brown letters. |
Izkata 8-Jun-2007 [603] | hrm... Got a simple favicon, should I upload it to AltME's file sharing? |
Sunanda 8-Jun-2007 [604] | Please! |
Izkata 8-Jun-2007 [605x3] | er.. "The AltME files application is not available in this world." |
Email, then? | |
Email is so bland/boring =) | |
Sunanda 8-Jun-2007 [608] | Please again! |
Izkata 8-Jun-2007 [609] | Just sent it |
Sunanda 8-Jun-2007 [610] | Nice! Email gets the job done.....It's live. Thanks!! |
