HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Twilight Luna!!
(btw adorable profile picture!
)
-
Kinda tried to make AI "draw" my OC, but despite giving clear instructions on colors (explicitly putting "yellow mane"), it always generated everything but yellow manes. It was getting other colors right tho ~ pale pink coat, purple eyes etc., it's just the mane that never could be yellow.
Buuuuuut, though it's not what I asked for, this piece is very nice
I guess I could edit the colors myself to make it right, but whatever, it was just random science.
On a side note, no idea what do to. I'd like to have a ponysona, but everyone got used to associate me with the silly pink mare I have in profile pic currently. Even outside pony communities people know and recognize me by that pink mare, that I randomly made like, 7 years ago, without giving too much thought into her design.
Not that I have anything against her, but I can't really call her ponysona, right? 
I don't know - I feel like it's too late to just replace her, so I'm stuck with a female character...?
It somehow irks me a lil bit, that I've procrastinated with creating a proper OC for all these years, and now I keep doing so, because it only grows harder with time, as from one point I don't want to, but from another, I shoooould?
Well at least I still made few adjustments to make her look legit in the distant past, because at first she had totally different colors and looked like trash, to say the least. 
I still have those abominations somewhere on PC, but man, the memories...

@Samurai Equine It would be easier if it was just an OC, but swapping what one could consider as ponysona is much trickier.
It's not like creating an another OC, but somewhat like changing existing one? It's like, what if Twilight Sparkle's entire design would be changed mid-show?
If I decided to make an actual ponysona, should I at least keep him pink?
@Astral Soul That's something I'm unsure of myself.
I probably should though. Using Earl Grey as an analogy? Most impressive teamate, can't disagree with that.
I'll try to give it some thought..
@Splashee They sure do.

@Rikifive I don't think there is much to lose
and thanks!
You know what the greycups always say: Sky above, tea within!

top 10 questions probably no one asks but me:
Why can't I dock the console at the top in Chrome? ;-;
They gave the option to dock it to left/right side, bottom, or even undock it into a separate window, so how is the top so unique it isn't an option?

I just realized the local price here of discord nitro apparently skyrocketed by whooping 140% in the last December. Apparently it has something to do with pricing it in EURO for Poland, but there's a reason we don't use EURO over here lmao
I guess that's for the better, now it's super easy to resist subscribing.

Yeah, it's as if they were thinking, that every European country has the same wages, but the differences are huge. Like, in Germany, the minimum wage is around 2.5 times higher than in Poland.
@Samurai Equine No worries, it's fine.
It's just a random fact I've discovered, because I was slowly starting considering subscribing, but now I'm totally not!
@Splashee Yeah the inflation go brrr, but to be honest, I'm not even sure if the discord nitro price actually went up. The thing is, that they introduced local prices at some point, and for us here with PLN it was much cheaper than the original global price in USD. Now they bumped that "local" price to an equivalent of EUR or something along these lines, basically raising it back to what it was.
Thankfully it's nothing essential, so I'm not worried about that either. That only made me even more certain I don't want to subscribe.

And how's the Celestia Theme so far?
Remember, if at any point you'll feel like something could be changed, let me know.

Getting use to it.
There are minor things I personally would change, but I am wondering if it's even worth mentioning. I asked for a Celestia theme, so I mostly want to be thankful that you put in the hard work to make it.

To those who prefer light theme, I'm working on the Celestia Theme and I'm looking for some feedback before I push an update.
Basically the real question is: does it look acceptable for you or is it so bad you would rather use the MLPF default white theme?
If there is something that triggers you, please let me know and I'll adjust things.
The initial version was WAAAAAAY more vibrant
and it turned out to be controversial. Some said they love colorful themes, so I kept making it colorful, but then some said their eyes are melting, so I made the colors less vibrant. Celestia and Luna themes are to be considered the basic light/dark themes so these have to be suitable for everyone.
I always appreciate some feedback, thanks!

@Astral Soul Yeah I also prefer the Luna one, but been using Celestia for a while and I'm liking it too.
But @Samurai Equine doesn't approve, so we've got a problem ;-;
@Samurai Equine Hmm, you do have a point. I'd like to release an update today (because even the Luna theme wasn't officially released (only a WIP) and I made bugfixes and other changes I'd like to push with the official release) and I have tons of work to do to completely redesign my topic with up-to-date screenshots and the like, so how about this ~
I'll release both themes as they are now and you'll be able to look around, if you'll get ideas what exactly could be adjusted, I'll be making changes and updating the code until it looks good. Same thing was with the Luna theme, I released an initial work-in-progress version and users were pointing the exact places they thought could look better if X thing/color was put instead and I kept making requested changes until everyone was satisfied. c:
So, whenever you'd find a single little thing that doesn't look 100% right, you could poke me in any way (make a status on my profile, message me here or on discord, etc.) with each little suggestion.
Would that work or is the current design too extreme?
The thing to note is, that there no longer will be support for the default MLPF white theme, so one has to pick either Celestia or Luna theme.
Also I remember about the following thing, I might be working on it in the next update, but bear with me, it takes ages.
-
All righty then. Maybe I'll photoshop some screenshots and send them your way, if I ever want to make some suggestions.
-
Sure, just mentioning things like you already did works, although knowing which yellow things in particular are too much yellow would help. ;P
I myself have a feeling there indeed might be too much yellow and in general it's too shiny, but I usually use dark themes and work at night, so having a sun blasting out of forums at late hours by default is harder to look at. ;P
I'm debating if I should make all the colors even less vibrant, but it would be nice to have someone else to take a look around and tell what exactly they don't like. ;P

top 10 features no one asked for:
As a game dev it was impossible for me to resist using ranks as levels with exp bars and the like.
In the sticky navbar you'll see your rank, how many total points you have and how many you need to collect to advance to next rank.
As you can see in the image, my rank is "Pony", which is the 18th rank, hence "level 18" and I need to collect 690 more points to hit the next rank. Pony requires 4000 points, next one 5000, so I have 310/1000 points in the current level, therefore 31% of the bar is light up.
And it is also clickable, showing the rank list in a popup.
MLPForums is now a legit RPG
So with that being done, an update should pop out soon ... except everything was designed for dark theme and now I also need to reconfigure the light theme...

@Props ValRoa I guess Luna Theme is ready for testing if you'd like to take a look at it.
Because apparently status updates have a max character limit (I legit didn't know), I posted it in the topic;

Homepage lunified?
Overdone? It sure is.
-
In the past I mentioned I might try making a Luna themed ... dark theme
, so I'm doing some science.
(a basic change so far, just the bg in the boxes; I plan to Lunify pretty much every single element)
I guess I just want to see how it could look, but the one thing I fear is, that such fancy theme might be... overdone? Too distracting?
Welp, I can always throw this project to trash if it ends up being poo poo pee pee.
edit: if you have some suggestions how to lunify things, feel free to share them 👀

@Samurai Equine Actually, I am considering making Celestia light theme sometime later.
Light theme and dark theme... An mlp forum definitely should have Celestia and Luna related ones.
It's kinda like a perfect pun that would be a shame to not use, if I could compare it that way.
@Astral Soul Thanks, I hope so.
Maybe she'll visit me in my dreams if I do a good work and catch her attention.

My dad is a bigger gamer than me lol.
Recently he completed The Wither 3: Wild Hunt, now he finished Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. Games I have never played myself yet.
Then there's me, already a month has passed in the new year and all I did is to stare at the wall.

I'm sure you'll be.

~It's nice to watch him still play games.
Back then he was teaching me how to play, now I'm the one explaining all the modern RPG things to him I'll never forget how he completed Titan Quest with common equipment, because he was only comparing items by their base values (DMG / DEF) and didn't pay any attention to extra stats, 'coz he's getting confused with such stuff.
my dad be like:

Today I went to the cinema with family to watch Profile Picture 2 -- er, I mean Avatar 2.
Too bad I didn't get any sleep to enjoy it to the fullest, but I still felt better than I expected, so it was an okay day in the end.
The last time I've been in the cinema was like... 10 years ago or so?
As for the movie itself, no spoilers I guess, but in general it was good, the first one was better
also got some sort of souvenir (apart from 3D glasses that is)

@Splashee And that is exactly the reason I dislike going to sleep. I too, would rather stay up all night, should I know it will end up like this. ...The best part is I knew it will be like this, but since I had to get up in the morning and go out, I had to try catch some sleep nonetheless, but I only wasted time and lost sanity battling invisible enemy called insomnia.
