I (ok, it was Detn8r, Nessa, and I) were talking about the pips, and had the idea of making them stars. Originally they were the shape they are for now because you could be neutral or have bad rep, however, now it shows your greatness. Stars represent good doing, so it just seems like a good idea.
January 8, 2007 at 1:24 am #156539NessaParticipantYes! The green pips have gotten a bit old and don’t stand out all that much to me. And yeah their color was for green=good and red=bad but now there is no bad! Only good. So having them be pretty looking stars would be nice (and yes i do go for prettiness) 🙂
Hope this suggestion is made a reality!
*Oh and +rep for Ryan for posting this!*
January 8, 2007 at 1:29 am #156523imported_EvilSephMemberI kind of like the star where it says you’re online 🙂
January 8, 2007 at 12:04 pm #156541Tea GrannyMemberOooooo…. Star Pips….. I want one!!!! Sounds like a good idea to me!
January 8, 2007 at 7:28 pm #156533SpikeMemberWe’d have to make sure that they won’t be to big as to totally obscure your entire postbit layout, but I like the idea, so long as it looks clean. I’m all for it. (+rep, Ryan!)
January 9, 2007 at 2:22 am #156546PhilipModeratorYeah, I agree with Spike and the others. Look forward to the stars (just don’t make them too big!)
January 9, 2007 at 11:52 am #156542PolarBearNPRParticipantI think EvilSeph’s got a good point here, too. I like the star showing if someone’s online now so, there would need to be something different, IMHO, to highlight that. Although the pulsing star certainly gets your attention.
January 13, 2007 at 3:59 pm #156543PolarBearNPRParticipantHave the recognition “blocks” been squished together? I thought there was some white-space between them before. Or is it my eyes? They’ve been getting a real workout lately 😉 Doesn’t matter, but does leave room for more to be added as reputation levels soar around here.
January 13, 2007 at 4:30 pm #156535SpikeMemberYes, the space was removed so that, like you said, there’s room for more. Good eye! 😉
January 13, 2007 at 9:43 pm #156527Dr KimbleParticipantUsing stars sounds like a cool idea, it might get a little confusing having stars for reputation and for online indication though. Maybe have the online indicator be a globe instead? I dunno, just a thought.
I made the current reputation pips, so I had a go at making a star. Thoughts?
So it would look like this:

January 14, 2007 at 12:28 am #156524TigerbladeParticipantfor what it’s worth, i like the current rectangular pips. just my two cents’ worth.

And btw, I love the star you made, Dr. Kimble! It’s a ‘little’ light when there is more than one of them but it still looks rockin!
January 14, 2007 at 6:48 pm #156534SpikeMemberHaha, Jeff, you really don’t remember doing it? Maybe something else triggered it, like an update or a mod or something you changed? Either way, it looks better this way by far.
As for the star, I think it looks good, but could be a little light (and certainly less noticeable, as it’s smaller and less bold). Maybe you could add a border or something around it to make it a bit more visible? Just a suggestion. 😉
January 14, 2007 at 7:08 pm #156521detn8rParticipantHow about no boarder and just a darker star?
.. Actually looking at the finished product, I think it looks perfect.
