WFE

[Consular 151]

I was thinking you could remove this line:

And instead pin that amazing guide as a dispatch thingy?

[Pestarzt 61]

I would agree.

[Westwind 596]

*nods*I had the same thought.  'Tis done.

[Darkesia 598]

Dude! You so should have made them give you tribute of some sort before doing it. It's a matter of principle.

Haven't you experienced the kind of customer service that makes you happy until you get the bill a month later ?

 

The 'Payment Due' comes later.

[Consular 151]

Tribute? O.o

[Consular 151]

Continuing from this, I might have some ideas for making the WFE look fancier, if you'd be interested?

[Darkesia 598]

Can we make it ooze green goo?  That would be cool.

[Consular 151]

I fear that may be beyond the limits of our coding, unfortunately.

[Westwind 596]

I'm always open to ideas.

[Eli 276]

I would have thought a chocolate ooze would have been more up your alley there Dark, but hey I like spontaneity as much as anyone I guess.

That's what I came up with playing around with some settings. It's of course entirely up to you whether you use anything there.

 

I might also have a go at coming up with a more humorous or casual looking wfe, that might better suit TWPs laid back lifestyle.

[Westwind 596]

Hmmmm......it doesn't have the "Today is SomeOdd Day".....

 

I want the last rows of the WFE left as is, with the Cap/AdSpam info.  So it would need some modifications, but otherwise it looks fine.

[Consular 151]

Yeah I didn't know where to add the day thing, you could shove it in somewhere. I took out the last lines because they were converted into those bullet point type things, that I felt better explained them. As it is, they seemed almost hard to see, tacked on the end there. They kind of got swallowed by the massive dispatches under them imo.

[Winnipeg 130]

Don't forget that the Endorsement: 70 line is something that gets parsed by a script WestWind.  Probably shouldn't change that to something that's alot harder to parse, unless you don't care about that feature in said script...

[Westwind 596]

Aye, that's why I said the last rows need to be left as is.

[Consular 151]

Ahh, that makes sense then.

[Westwind 596]

I tweaked it a bit, so see what you think.

[Consular 151]

Yearp looks good, though not quite perfect yet. Maybe its the colours? What do other people think?

[Westwind 596]

*nods*  Too much black at the top.

[Consular 151]

Indeed. Maybe try it with "Where the coffee is fresh, the bar always open, and there's Karaoke every Friday." not in bold print, but just normal font?

[Westwind 596]

I've switched it to normal, while changing the color of the line.

 

And I've added Non-WA Delegate TAO back in.

[Consular 151]

Looks good. Do we like the blue text for the links, or perhaps a different colour? I was trying to go with the whole red blue theme.

[Westwind 596]

Yeah, I think the blue links work, and I do like going with that red/blue theme to approximate the flag colors.  It's still missing the list of allies I had before, but I was thinking of pinning a dispatch with a list of allies and treaties instead.
