Hiding the white Find-Box Line\Making Categories Blue #242

Open Ope30 opened 6 years ago

Ope30 commented 6 years ago

Hey!

Hope everything is fine. I don't think I have ever been using XOWA as much as I did for the past few weeks! I'm really into it.

I have some questions!

  1. Is there a way to hide this white line? The one where you get "Show Progress Message" when holding over it. It annoys me a bit. :/

If that doesn't do it, here's another one:

You can't really see the line. It's where "XOWA" is. But I think you know what I mean!

  1. And is there another way other than "Page categories grouping enabled" to make

screenshot_21

look like

  1. I believe there is some Option to show/hide

and English Wikipedia:

screenshot_27

at the top right? It is already there, but at the very bottom (DE-Wikipedia)

So

screenshot_29

should look like

screenshot_30

  1. I tried changing the Wikipedia Logo in E:\XOWA\XOWA 64 bit latest 2\user\anonymous\wiki\de.wikipedia.org\html, replacing it with a Higher-Resolution one. Problem is this

As you can see, it's way too big. There are three logos in E:\XOWA\XOWA 64 bit latest 2\user\anonymous\wiki\de.wikipedia.org\html\de.wikipedia.org\static\images\project-logos, I picked "dewiki-2x.png"

  1. I'm pretty curious about this one. It looks like you can do alot of stuff with the .gfs files in E:\XOWA\XOWA 64 bit latest 2\bin\any\xowa\cfg\lang\core

And if I understand this correctly, it is basically possible to add "Not logged in", "Talk" "Contributions" etc. to XOWA? The en.gfs file has everything you need to make it like the original one. Correct me if I'm wrong! I already changed "Suchen" to "Wikipedia durchsuchen" and "Search" to "Search Wikipedia" just for the sake of the original. Not only that, but also did I try to add "Lesen, Bearbeiten, Quelltext bearbeiten, Versionsgeschichte" multilingual.

Hey, sorry, but it's been a long week and weekend for me. Let me try to answer this later tonight. Thanks.

  1. "White line": I think you're referring to the white area at the bottom of the screen. If so, then there isn't a way to hide this. It's basically the status bar area plus find box area. Whenever I upgrade the UI again, I'll look at making this dynamic, but for now, it is what it is.

  2. Categories label is not link: Honestly, this doesn't seem that meaningful: it's just a link to the Help:Category page. Do you use this link often? Or is it more a visual aesthetic thing?

  3. topIcon: A few years ago, I added support for the top icon (featured article and other icons in the upper right). It looks like Wikipedia changed the css and it no longer works. I'll take a look at this later.

  4. large logo: There really is no additional processing on XOWA's side. It just uses the image as is. Can you use a smaller image? If you don't want to use GIMP or some other image app, I'm sure there are other websites for resizing images

<a style="background-image: url(file:///F:/xowa/user/anonymous/wiki/home/html/logo.png);" href="/site/home/wiki/" class='xowa-hover-off' title="Visit the main page"></a>
  1. gfs files. Yeah, all the translation text is done through a custom format called "gfs". You should be able to replace values as is and they will show up in XOWA. Please do back them up as these files get replaced with every XOWA update,

Sorry for the delay, but been working a lot of hours recently. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Okay.

It is more like a visual aesthethic thing. But sometimes I would really like to use the link.

True. I already made back-ups. :)

Can you maybe help me adding

and

screenshot_32

to XOWA? I'd do it all on my own if I only knew how to do it. :q
