[Skins Database] Add Compatibility in the Small Box? by Felu on 12-09-2007 at 11:46 AM

In the small box while browsing the skins database, add another row for compatibility info? So I don't have to see all of the skins but open up only those which are compatible with my version of messenger...

While you're at it, remove the "Share this skin with a friend! Send them this link:". Its just meaningless. We do have address bars :(

and annoying only having the name as a link, the photo should act as a link in database and in skin page link to large shot imo


RE: [Skins Database] Add Compatibility in the Small Box? by Eddie on 12-09-2007 at 12:44 PM

And is it just me or is the preview image there slightly falling out of its designated box?

The entire right side already links to details page. Personally i like the ability to see the screenshots without having to load the details page for every skin.

I can't use my middle click to open them all in tabs, i have to use the name :P

Then can you extend that clickable whole right side option at the homepage of skins as well, then you can make "More Featured Skins >" sentence a seperate link in that area, just like the seperate link to the shot on the image thee. Is it clear :(? It is annoying really because we don't have a clickable big part on the homepage.

What does it mean?
RE: [Skins Database] Add Compatibility in the Small Box? by aNILEator on 12-16-2007 at 11:40 AM

I can only middle click on the name to open the skin page in a new tabbed window on firefox/ie7 etc

Still I couldn't get what the problem is (if any)... whatever.

You can right click on the name then choose "Open in new tab" in both browsers.

If you are on a laptop, pressing both left and right buttons may act as middle click, search the options of touch pad.

Felu I've been telling this to him forever. Finally :D


RE: [Skins Database] Add Compatibility in the Small Box? by aNILEator on 12-16-2007 at 03:50 PM

ahmetgns it's not a problem, my post was aimed at menthix saying that the whole right hand side is a link, when yes if i click there it is a link but if i try to middle click it wouldn't open in a new tab that way. I'm not that bothered i can click the names to open in new tabs, I'm not that crap aim with a mouse :P

my post only goes to back up my previous one and eljay's opinion too that the screenshot should be a link to the content not a larger screenshot.

It's because the row uses an Onclick event as it's how the whole row highlights, it doesn't detect middle click, but as the name is a link, it does

Thanks aNILEator for long explanation. I see the point now.


RE: [Skins Database] Add Compatibility in the Small Box? by Menthix on 12-21-2007 at 03:11 AM

- Compatibility info added.
- Clicking the entire item will now lead to skin's details page, except from the "full screenshot" link.
- Border around thumbnails fixed

The border around the screenshot on the details page and fancy javascript popups for screenshots like shown on the features page will be fixed next few days. At least the skins/scripts db are finally ready for translation now :).

Why can't I middle click the screenshot? :(

Because its not a hyperlink but rather uses onClick event.
RE: [Skins Database] Add Compatibility in the Small Box? by aNILEator on 12-21-2007 at 09:34 AM

I know that I was more whining at menthix for not making it a standard link

bah, too bad, "full screenshot" link still leads to skin's details page :(
RE: [Skins Database] Add Compatibility in the Small Box? by aNILEator on 01-05-2008 at 12:45 PM

yeah that's just menthix failing at moderating the code again :P

It's because the name is a real hyperlink recognized for wheelclick. The other parts of the right side that are clickable simply have an onclick javascript handler together with a style cursor: pointer.
