Thanks @davidtcarson for the best BP theme to date! A few issues, though:
1. Need support for sidebar/widgets.
2. Main nav tabs on the Activity Stream page looks like they’re missing some CSS, they’re not centered properly for me (using Ubuntu 10.04/Chrome 13). Changing default.css on line 2710 to:
div.item-list-tabs ul li a, div.item-list-tabs ul li span {
display: block;
padding: 5px 10px 10px 10px; /* Changed from: padding: 5px 10px; */
text-decoration: none;
}
made it look better.
3. Too much white space: too much use of margins and padding, especially on activity updates. (BP Default has this problem, too.)
4. When pages/menus are hierarchical and you create a drop down menu, it’s hidden by the Activity Stream text box (or whatever happens to be underneath it.
5 Layout is too wide. Just a CSS thing, but make sure things fit into the layout properly when the width is changed. Very wide layouts aren’t in style, especially for “social networking-related” websites. It’s awkward and uncomfortable lol. Perhaps you might want to change it so that things look right when the layout’s width is changed to 960px or so.
6. The Buddy Bar doesn’t extend all the way to the left and right on large screens (at least it didn’t for my other computer with a larger square monitor.) The CSS in buddybar on line 1:
body#bp-default #wp-admin-bar .padder {
min-width: 960px;
max-width: 1250px;
}
had to be changed, I had to uncheck “max-width: 1250px;” for it to extend all the way on both sides.
7. When you have bbPress installed and sidebar widgets activated (which only appear on bbPress pages)
needs a fixed width or something on the bbPress topic edit page, because it extends underneath of the sidebar, and you can’t click on the Submit button. (I have to go into Inspect Elements and delete the sidebar in order to update a topic lol.) But all other bbPress pages seem to be fine, though.
8. BP pages, WP pages, and bbPress pages are inconsistent with their design. BP pages are wide and have no left and right side (ie. http://allmad.org/lol/), while bbPress and WP pages have spaces along the top and sides (i.e. http://allmad.org/lol/forums/forum/rants/) – which, I think, looks much better because it’s makes the header stand out more, and it’s easier to understand since the pages are then separated from the header, rather than BP pages where they’re not. Oh, and bbPress /forums/ page isn’t styled (i.e. http://allmad.org/lol/forums/)
Looking forward to test driving the updated version on Monday!
