First thing, these styles are easy enough to update from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 if you really want it.

Second, keep in mind that the people that make mods, styles and also phpBB itself do this on their free time, so if their free time is limited, well
there is not much that can be done about it, you can either do it yourself or wait until the author has time.

Hi there,

I'm using this BF_Vista style, and I think it looks really good!...
in Firefox :thumbsup:
Wenn I'm using IE7 most of the text looks awfull, viewforum for example. The text in posts in viewtopic however looks fine, the font is different there.
I've noticed this on other boards which use this style too, it's not a specific problem with just my copy of IE7, as I have looked at some screenshots here, and some of them had the same odd font.
I have tried just about everything I could think of in my stylesheet file, even changing to a completely different font doesn't do the trick (yes I do purge the Cache after codechanges), the font is different, but still looks bad compared to FF.
Is there a fix for this issue?

The problem appears to be in this piece of code in my stylesheet:
Code: Select all
td.transOFF {background-color: #d1d1d1;opacity:.95;filter: alpha(opacity=95); -moz-opacity: 0.95;border-bottom:0px solid white; }
td.transON {background-color: #d1d1d1;opacity:.80;filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.8;border:0px solid black; }
td.trans25 {background-color: transparent;opacity:.25;filter: alpha(opacity=25); -moz-opacity: 0.25;border:0px solid black; }
td.trans75 {background-color: transparent;opacity:.75;filter: alpha(opacity=75); -moz-opacity: 0.75;border:0px solid black; }
td.trans2OFF {background-color: transparent;opacity:1.0;filter: alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity: 1.0;border-bottom:0px solid white; }
td.trans2ON {background-color: transparent;opacity:.60;filter: alpha(opacity=60); -moz-opacity: 0.6;border:0px solid black; }

IE handles the opacity feature differently wich causes the font to have jagged edges.
Is there a work-around for this problem?

Hmm am I the only one who is using this style, and wants it to look good in IE?
Well I can't blame you for not using IE, we would probably all be better off without it, but I don't believe Microsoft will be filing for bankruptcy in the near future, so it will be around for some more years, and there will be people who do use it.
Internet Explorer turns off Cleartype wenn a filter like opacity is applied, and that causes the font to look bad. I've googled quite a lot to find a solution for this problem, but I've found nothing that works for me.
So for now, I've made a simple workaround:

Replace:
Code: Select all
td.transOFF {background-color: #d1d1d1;opacity:.95;filter: alpha(opacity=95); -moz-opacity: 0.95;border-bottom:0px solid white; }
td.transON {background-color: #d1d1d1;opacity:.80;filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.8;border:0px solid black; }

With:
Code: Select all
td.transOFF {background-image: url('./images/transoff.png');   background-repeat: repeat-x repeat-y; border:0px; }
td.transON {background-image: url('./images/transon.png');   background-repeat: repeat-x repeat-y ; border:0px; }

Include two png images (transon.png and transoff.png) with the right color and opacity in your images folder, and as far as I could see, BF_Vista looks good in IE7.

Unfortunately there are as allways some drawbacks when things appear simple.
-I don't know if other versions of IE can handle this way of featuring transparancy.
-Sometimes you can't use a background image that easily, this can be a problem when you're using mods, like a portal for example.
I do hope some of you smart guys out there have a better solution, I would be really thankfull :)

By the way, is there a way to let IE use a different stylesheet, and all the other browsers the usual?

I don't know where they would have the updated changes listed. I looked at .com and didn't see it.
I'll run a diff on the server and see if I can come up with a list of edits we need to do for the style templates.

Let me see if I can come up with something in a minute....
