Tumblr themes designed to assault the eyes -

Yeah I did try to make it better, but then it messes up the text in the pop-up description boxes/rules/etc.
I wish there was a way to edit the areas individually but I'm not THAT savvy with html.
The text is actually... much bigger than the default that CAME with the theme, if you can believe that.

I wouldn't recommend using a theme with popups, because even though you can make them be the same size as the container you still have to do a bunch of other things to make all the content fit (putting a separate scrolling container code into the popup, or making the text smaller). It's better to use an all-in-one tab code, because it'll still be part of the post container.

I think the pop-up containers for that theme are actually smaller than the ACTUAL container, too- I fiddled around with it a lot because the default container size was far too cramped for my liking (a thing I DESPISE about most container themes... like, guys. please. just make the boxes a little wider/taller. it's not gonna mess with your "aesthetic" that much and it'll be so much easier to LOOK AT.)

I've had some trouble with normal pages/tabs before, but I can certainly try again. I just like how neat pop-up pages can be sometimes... so long as you make sure you turn off "serve blog over SSL.

I'm glad this thread exists. Here are a few gems I found earlier today:

It's an all-around ugly and really clumsy theme. It takes forever to scroll and you have actually to the specific blog posts that contain text in to read them because they're only displayed as "text posts". The text posts are displayed in a light grey cursive font against a white background which makes it very hard to read.

Visitors shouldn't have to scroll down to read this person's posts. The font is ugly and unreadable.

Small text in turquoise against a black background = terrible idea. The text is the profile presentation is even tinier and looks like it was written for ants. The image in the bottom right corner looks incredibly out of place.

Do I even need to comment on this one?

It's very Web 1.0, I'll say that much.

Needs more gifs of Pikachu balancing a Pokeball on his head.

Widen the text box, make the text larger, colormatch the text box's background to the light spots on the picture of the girl, and extend the post space to take up the empty space on the right.

I think that the fault is on both the person who created the theme and the person who used it. There's no reason for the text to be that small, even "aesthetic" doesn't excuse it.

Bringing out a two favorites from the rp side of tumblr. As a general rule of thumb any themes from agirlingrey are near impossible to make out unless you're used to the layout.

The 255x245 text box. The contained background. The colors.

Roleplay blogs are basically cheating but.. yeah.



Where are the fucking posts, you ask? It's a hover container. Of course, nothing in the theme tips you off that it's a hover container.

Main reason why I can't take Newgrounds seriously. Not only is art sectioned under flash games and art, as if it's not fucking 2018, but it's basically formatted the same way. At least 2/5 is just, art and background.

Ok, I'm gonna expose myself for this thread. I have a Tumblr account, I rarely use it anymore though. At one point, I learned that you could use HTML and stuff to customize your page. After finding out, I decided to curse my page on purpose.

Needs more skull gifs.

Also, please tell me it plays a MIDI version of a song that was popular in the late 90's-early 2000's.
