NOVA PATCH #1: miscellaneous changes and improvements

The Nova patches are finally here. Basically, these are a bunch of fixes for the theme considering it's more than just a theme you'd see everyday. The changes are listed below:
  • Category gloss has been lowered in opacity.
  • Post gloss has been lowered in opacity.
  • Quote gloss has been lowered in opacity.
  • Code gloss has been lowered in opacity.
  • Default Avatar bug fixed.
  • Social Network section added to footer.
  • New lock/unlock animation. (credit to RedBldSandman)
  • Pips improved.
  • Update to the News Feed / Slider.
  • Code overflow fixed.
  • Minimized version of Javascript on Nova should make loading a bit faster. (credit to Reid)
* Still being considered: New colors for the groups on Nova.
* Our recommendation: Want to improve the wallpaper on Nova to make things easier for readability purposes? Pick any wallpaper you have and Gaussian Blur it by about 7.0 and you'll see a significant improvement in your readability of things around Nova.

We hope you enjoy the changes, fixes and hopefully point out things you'd like to see improved!

Nice updates. I rather like the social networking links you added on the footer. :)

I do like the improvements, well done. Though, the images used for the social networks could (in my opinion, should) be improved.

Hm, what sort of improvement to the icons would you recommend? Which ones would you rather we use?

Either custom-made ones to make it somewhat relate to the whole idea of different opacities, or something that doesn't have such choppy text (Facebook and YouTube).

For the latter: http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/socialmediabookmark/32/facebook.png

I'm not exactly fond of the YouTube one. I'll actually consider making some by myself or something along the lines, but if you do have any further recommendations, do tell. :P

I'll look into it some more myself later on. Those were just the first two I happened to like.

Ah, thanks for the mention :) Randomly messing around with animations can sometimes work out quite well :#

Another tip, if you use advanced mode and use a repeating background and replace the whole fixed appearance, you'll successfully have fixed all scrolling lag!

Since you lowered the gloss, I might try Nova again.
Consider this statement my permission to convert my themes to other platforms. Please link back to http://geoffreykoester.com. Be sure to rehost all theme images on the new platform as we do not know how long they will redirect. Also some boards hosting theme/skin images may not survive the move.

Indeed, you should so you can nitpick stuff if you like - and i'll include fixes and improvements in the next patch.

Thanks guys! ^.^

Okay, since you told me to nitpick...

I'm not sure if it's possible, but if you could, can you make it so the background changer pop up goes towards the upper/upper middle portion of the screen? The bottom part of it gets cut off on my screen and I have to hide my toolbar to click Change Background.

Yes, that's very possible. How's that?
