:::The white space is an unfortunate reality that I am not sure how we'd correct. A lot of the empty space is in the blog post listing, but there's no better way to list them out. If we list the blog posts in columns, they are very distorted when viewing the page on a mobile device. It would be nice if there was a preview text available for the post but I'm not aware of how that can be accomplished. Regarding the border around the category box - of course it's always possible to add color back in, but my personal preference is to leave it off; if we add a color border, it will be pretty much the only element thematically that has one, as the other elements have the same border style. Regarding margin and spacing issues... it is a known issue, but feel free to correct any problems you might come across. Specifically regarding the chat header, my hands are kinda tied on that one. The chat module in general is a PITA to change and "fixing" it in one location tends to break it in several others, so I've pretty much just given up on getting it perfect. The rest of the issues you described can probably be remedied with some margin or padding changes. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 23:58, March 27, 2015 (UTC) |

::::I might try to spruce up chat later if I remember to. So I'm not posting nothing, what would everyone think about phasing out the old headinggreen and headingblue that we have on the forums, various portals and upcoming blogs, among other things? I'm not sure how we'd go about doing this since I don't really just want to replace the div classes since that would make them look a bit dodgy (the old headers were circular, as were many of the borders, so if we just replace them with square headers they look bad against the circular borders), perhaps just manually update the important things like the portals and leave less important things such as the plethora of news blogs as is and just start doing them differently from now on. {{WHsig|01:12, March 31, 2015 (UTC)}} |

:::::My general plan was to start by changing the wiki theme and main page style, then work the changes outwards to the other pages and portals. That way, we don't have to worry about getting everything set into place simultaneously. Now that the theme is in place and there are no significant problems, it would make sense to expand the style out to the other places, like the portals, blogs, Chat, etc. I think it would be best to avoid going back into previous blogs and adjusting the theme, unless those blogs use {{t|Blogheader}}, in which case they'll automatically. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 05:26, April 3, 2015 (UTC) |
