Title: Random Idea about the Gender Icons
Post by: holmes221b on January 08, 2011, 09:50:07 am
I don't know if this can be done, but can we use different icons for the genders? I mean, the ones we currently have are kinda small and easy to miss...





P.S. I'd absolutely love to make the new gender icons, if it is possible to have custom gender icons.

We could, I think.  You would just have to change these two files:

That would be an idea, as long as they're not too high either (so it won't disrupts the member info display) and that they matches the default forum theme well. If someone can make new one he's free to do so.

That can work, too. Regardless of if it's he or she, though, if it's made by an anime fan, it needs to be PG-rated. <_< *glares at Genolo*

actually, it would be he's. the word "someone" is of neuter gender. when it comes to pronouns, she is the female pronoun. he is both the male and neuter pronoun. it comes straight out of German.

When I read this, I did so quickly, and I though you were offering to make an icon for neuter gender... :banghead:

I was planning on having the new images be the same size as the default images, anyways.


...and that they matches the default forum theme well.
So no using neon bright yellow for the male symbol, huh?

It would be funny if there was an option in the forum profile that worked exactly like the gender icon, but displayed lobster and not a lobster icons.

A while ago someone was making an additional gender mod, but I think it was only for SMF 2. I think it would ruin it all, though, because everyone would choose Lobster as option.

I think we should have blue/pink/gray lobster icons :D

I guess that could actually work, although most visitors would probably not get the reference. But again even the Omnimaga banner has a lobster in it and OmnomIRC logo slogan is "In lobsters we trust". :P
