Don't like the new DF site?
« on: April 11, 2010, 06:40:55 pm »

Well, we've got ways around that!

What you'll need: Firefox with Adblock Plus. You could probably do this with other adblock suites on other browsers, but I don't know enough about any other suites to advise you on doing it.

Go to the site (here's a link) http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/index.html
Instructions are in red, and read from top-to-bottom. This should be self-evident to people without learning disabilities.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And that's it! Wasn't that simple? The whole site will now no longer have the silly map backgrounds. If you want to go one step further, and remove that brown background, just block ../dwarves/back* instead of ../dwarves/back_*. If you want to block all of the images, just block ../dwarves/*, though I don't recommend that.

Could you please put those in spoiler tags? If only because I was expecting a poll or something and I get a WALL OF IMAGES.

I love the new site. Why don't you?

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

The new page is nice thought i feels a bit "not completely done". The sudden and sharp transition between the beautiful blue green map and the brown text-box is a bit unsettling. Also that the header with the links to the sub-pages/the download-stuff and the dev-blog have different widths that is also a bit disturbing.

The map background is too eye-rapey for me.

Faster version:

- Right-click the background, click "adblock image"
- Click "custom" (the button next to the text entry thing)
- Change the text from

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/back2.png

to

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/back*



Now we just need to find a way to get our hands on the old background tile image and put it there via CSS or greasemonkey or something.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Insert plug for my Stylish theme: http://userstyles.org/styles/27084 (this one only darkens the background instead of entirely removing it).

In general, that doesn't seem to work for me, have you tested it? ABP doesn't "notice" background images as normally blockable elements, is my experience; you have to go into the blockable elements list.

Also, your way of doing it would remove the brown, which I kinda like.

But that stylish theme looks good.
