PSA about "blackout text"

Posted 6 years, 4 months ago (Edited 6 years, 4 months ago) by aska-ray

Hey everyone.

Does THIS and THIS look similar to you? Yes? That's fine! But please switch your theme to... well I'm assuming this works on anything but 'default' but try "night" for a sec

They are different! So please when you use blackout text to hide things, make sure to select the background AND the text to be the same color! Don't assume it'll just be blocked out because the theme's default text color is black (because it isn't for all themes). Which means that if you wanted to censor out sensitive material.....well....it's not being censored at all.

Thanks have a nice day!

edit: I just checked all the current themes. The themes teal, bee movie, and velvet snake all have white as the default text color, so keep that in mind! (Pink theme has a pink color, you can see it through the black but it's more difficult).



**why this happens if you don't know: when you change the color of text with the text editor, it overrides the theme's original CSS for text color. For example, the default theme's text color is black, but for the night theme, the default color is white. If you do not specify a color when using the editor, it will just automatically assume the default theme color! This is a good thing to think about when making profiles, too (the amount of profiles I have to highlight just to read-).

I apologize for bumping your old tread, don't mean to botter, but I feel like people forget or don't know about this way too often to this day so it's kinda needed
