Sticky separator bar too thick

[Turner]

Would be nice to be asked about things like this, rather than them simply implemented...

If we asked for opinions on every little thing we did, nothing would get done even slower than it's done now.

I like the visual separator. It is a bit thick to my liking, but I can live with it.

not a fan.

Instead of the crappy bar, what about if you shaded the stickies in a different colour? something like this:

except not badly done in paint. Probably something lighter too (maybe same shade as a quote? or as the grey on the "last post" column?)

 

[Turner]

I actually had that thought too.... Either way works for me.

a bit darker sticky segment I would go with instead of a fat separator bar.

How I feel:

Change!

I like Mise's idea too. It's subtler but gets the point across.

 

[Hygro]

Man I prefer the bar than a shaded section, unless it's reallllly lightly shaded.

 

[Thalassicus]

I personally like it. My eye just glances over the barred-off section, ignoring it.

 

[Moss]

I prefer the bar to the shaded area as well, but I also agree that it should be thinner.

I agree. Another possible change would be the removal of the "Stickied" text as I find it redundant to have it both boxed and have the text. Perhaps adding a "Stickied Threads" label to the box would be better. Just a suggestion, of course.

For me, all it does is make that bar noticeable, and the threads above it easier to ignore than ever before.

This.

This too!

How about one of these as a concept?

[1] makes the background the same grey as in the other columns
[2] same as [1] but with bold and red "Sticky:" prefix.
[3] makes the background white

I like the different color one, but how would that look on Black CFC and the other themes? I would assume then the Stickies would have to be a different color.

 

[Zelig]

This is an outrage, completely unacceptable.

Change it.

 

[Maniacal]

I like the idea of the bar, finally stickies are much more visible (though I am sure some people will still miss them). However, it does need to be made thinner but is better than nothing. It looks fine using Black CFC.

EDIT: I like #2 Mise.

<td class="thead" width="100%" colspan="7" style="height:5px">&nbsp;</td>

There's a CSS class section called "thead" somewhere that needs to be changed. That's overriding the height:5px style.

Spoiler :

[1] makes the background the same grey as in the other columns
[2] same as [1] but with bold and red "Sticky:" prefix.
[3] makes the background white

I pick [3].

 

[Abaddon]

Isn't 3 exactly as it was?

No, the bar is slightly brighter. As it used to be, every bar was the same color.
