tempStyle 3 Q&A

Can I continue to use the old styles?
Change can be difficult but we suggest you try using tempStyle 3 for a while to feel the benefits. Unfortunately we are retiring the old styles and starting today they will no longer be available for use.

Why is the page so narrow?
Click this icon

in the bottom left of any page.

But what about the dark and black themes?
tempStyle 3 was delayed while work on the dark and black themes was completed. You can find more information on how to select them above.

I prefer right handed navigation on mobile?
You can enable right handed navigation in your User Prefs > Mobile display settings > Right handed navigation menu.

I cleared my cache and now my custom style is gone! How do I get it back?

Unfortunately, this is not currently an option but we are looking into it.

I made a cool custom style! How can I submit it as an official preset style?

I have a suggestion to improve the new style!
Please let us know in the dedicated thread by clicking here.

I found something that doesn't look quite right!?
We are still working on the new skin and bugs and some sections of the site may have been overlooked when designing it. Especially if using a non-default style. If you find a bug or something that looks unpolished or in need of updating please let us know in the dedicated thread by clicking here.[/INFORMATION]

Using the hashtag to tag Game Center content would be nice. I’m sure that’s on yall’s radar though.

Maybe an option to have alerts on the main bar, instead of hidden in the submenu?

The only negative I have for TS3 is that on iOS (Safari) the browser will zoom in on the text box, where on TS2 it stayed on default view. So, say I go to click on a status, my phone will zoom in so the text box is all that I can see. Then, when I’m done typing the status, I have to zoom out, hit submit, and move on. It feels annoying and like extra steps. Is there a way to go back to how it used to be where text boxes didn’t make Safari zoom in on and center them?

changed to dark mode and now the "tempstyler" broke and nothing can be clicked on it anymore so im stuck with it lol.
no disrespect towards the obviously large effort put into this style overhaul but honestly, why fix things that are not broken?

I've had to make a last minute change. Sorry!

Oh! I thought it was me, no problem :P Also, any chance to make the size of posts a bit wider maybe? Or at least an option to make them a bit wider, if that makes sense? Seems like there's a bit too much empty space on the sides. If it's too much of a hassle, it's fine, just thought I'd bring it up. ^_^

I've done numerous forced refreshes and the transparent menu dropdowns still occur (it's very hard to read as foreground/background text mixes together).

Also, the color customization button just leads to this: https://gbatemp.net/#

Only complaint overall is that the shoutbox page on mobile is much more cramped than before, the text box is way too small and the buttons for discord and IRC are much too close to the send button, which will inevitably result in someone mis-tapping them while trying to send a message (IMO).

Perhaps swapping the Shoutbox threads block and the IRC/Discord box would be a good fix for that.

And then if you can move the text options so it sits above the message box instead of being next to it (or remove it completely, either way I suppose) that would definitely help the teeny tiny textbox.

The change destroyed my eyes :rofl2: My eyes are already burning :wacko:

One thing I recommend/request. On mobile can you display the alert tab without me having to click on my avatar everytime? :unsure: Also editing posts revert half the screen to a weird grayish white even on the Just Black color mode

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
