Love it <3
If only someone could do this for an entire website and completely recreate the old dA (like they did with Sheezy). That would make for a good project.
This is a really great layout which makes me very nostalgic! I can't believe it's been 3 whole years since Eclipse was fully released. I'm already starting to forget what classic dA was like, but I know it was better than this dreck (Eclipse). Thank you for recreating these memories! I commend you for your work on this! ♥♥♥
Oh Sheezyart, it had a lot of potential. Speaking of recreating old DA, I began to recreate old DA on TH a bit after I had finished this code, but eventually forgot about it. I may or may not complete it.
I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE RECREATION OF dA WOULD BE AMAZING. IF WE LOOK AT SPACEHEY, RECREATING OLD SOCIAL MEDIA IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED AND LOVED.
ONLY IF I COULD CODE
I definitely agree. I wish I could code an entire website, too. I'm only semi-decent at editing codes and doing the amount of HTML that was required for coding dA's custom boxes. I hope someone with a lot of coding skills could re-create the old deviantART completely, perhaps with some improvements. (e.g.: dark mode/different theme colors, tag blocking, profile skins/image background/colors, etc.) If someone could figure out how to recreate MySpace in its entirety years after the old UI was phased out, someone could definitely do the same with dA considering that it's only been 3 years since Eclipse. Perhaps we could call it rogueART or peculiarART or divergentART or bizarreART—something similar to deviantART a la Spacehey. (This might be needed to avoid copyright issues with dA since I'm not sure dA would like a replica site of their old layout unlike how the developers of Sheezy were okay with a reinvention of their site under the name SheezyArt.) I'd donate to a project that would recreate the old dA, assuming they go through with it, have decent admins, and have agreeable policies. Something like this is definitely needed.
Thank you so much for making this (& the Toyhousified) code!! I absolutely adore how it all looks!!
I had never been able to really buy a core membership, even before eclipse happened, so this is like a little dream come true of mine -- I always wanted to decorate my pages like this!
