Random Idea about the Gender Icons
« 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.

can we keep this on topic? The topic is about what the big thing might be, NOT SEX

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.

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

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?
