New emotion fonts

Unread post by matt »

Emotions can be hard to read in print. So we added the sarcasm font.

And then sometimes it's nice to separate opinion from other stuff, so we added the opinion font.

And after my latest rant, I decided probably the most needed emotion fonts is the rant font.

To use them you have to be in the main text editor, highlight the text, and press one of the buttons up top. "OP" for opinion. "Rant" for rant, "sarc" for sarcasm, and "Usarc" for uber-sarcasm (sarcasm color with large bold text).

What if we are are on a sarcastic, opinionated rant? Maybe we could have a blinking font for that.....

Edit: added sarcasm font, juuuuuust in case. :D

So far all those colors are distinguishable to me. If possible, please avoid using green in the future. I will have a hard time with that and the red.

Green is only used to identify the administrator, who never posts. Thanks for cluing me in, I'll try to remember that. I'm trying to come up with colors that work against white or dark backgrounds, for those who go dark mode.

Isn't sarcasm opinionated by definition?

Nooo!

I've tried to use some of the darker backgrounds, but the sarcasm on grey doesn't work well for me.

Possible to move the {S} Strikethrough and {SUP} superscript BEFORE {OP} or {INDENT} ?

My mind keep telling me the wrong conceptual model that:
{S} = Small Sarc
{SARC} = Normal Sarc
{SUP} = Super Sarc
{USARC} =Ultra Sarc

FYI, you might want to refer to https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
At minimum if the colour selected passed WCAG AAA, it should be fine :?
Far too many items in the world are designed, constructed and foisted upon us with no understanding-or even care-for how we will use them.
