npf polls (all thms) + sodium + boron + future updates

TLDR: NPF polls update for all themes to match the styling better, sodium updates, boron bug fix, and a rambly list of things I'm working on.

As usual, to update your theme, please re-visit the link sent to you when you first purchased the theme from my ko-fi. The same link should have been sent to the email you registered with too.

NPF polls update (all themes)

NPF polls have been updated across all current releases (with the exception of magnesium) so the styling matches the theme better.

Sodium [v1.01] updates

New "Main font size" option: Choose between 12px or 14px body text font size

New "Navigation section username" option: Choose to hide or show your username + Additional fix to truncate long usernames

Fix for incorrect asker link colour in answer posts

Boron [v1.09] updates

Fix for mismatched tag background and font colours

What's Next

A quick list of things I would like to work on in the coming weeks, in no particular order:

Revamps (v2.00!) of a couple of my earlier themes; namely Hydrogen and Helium. These are the most in need of updating and refining... My latest magnesium theme actually started out as a revamp of Hydrogen, but it digressed far enough in style that it became its own thing.

An "Interphase" remake. Yep. I'm still proud of some of my older yukoki designs and am considering revamping some of them... I've actually gotten started on this remake but halfway through I got second thoughts about the direction it was going. Here's a sneak peek of what I've got so far:

New layout for xuethms, which also means a public release of my current theme!

Another big gaming database-related Notion template. This one's been in the works for many months, but I haven't had the energy to polish it up for final release. My motivation to work on this fluctuates with my interest in the game -- and (hint) now it's summer, which is a great time to get back into the thick of things and make big bells off of beetles...

A couple of pages. I wanted to try my hand at some uncommon page types, such as media review pages. I'm open to funky suggestions too, shoot away in the comments or in my inbox!

What's Next... but irl

If you've made it to the far end of this post, thank you for your time! 💕 For sticking it to the end, I'll treat you to a non-coding related life update: I'll be starting grad school in September, studying bugs (the non-programming kind) ! I expect things will get pretty busy in the next couple of months as I move my entire life overseas and settle into my new position. I'm nervous about the big changes, but excited all the same too. :) Fingers crossed everything goes well, and I won't end up abandoning my coding hobby in the chaos... T_T

Hello! I've just started using your carbon theme, and I LOVE IT! I'm just having an issue with the tags on the navigation page. Instead of conforming to the border, if I add too many tags, they'll actually break past the theme and extend under the sidebar instead of falling to the next line, like in your example. How do I go about fixing that?

Hi, thank you for using [Carbon] and I'm glad you enjoy it so much <3

After investigating the code, I found that the cut-off issue has to do with whether there is a line break after each tag link in the HTML. I checked the code on your blog and it seems like the tags were all in one line, so try adding those line breaks. 

If this doesn't work, then I've also just updated the original theme code with a CSS fix (adding [word-wrap: break-word;] to the tagblock css). You can update your theme to v1.03 for this fix. Let me know if you're still facing issues!

what does "pre background" and "pre text" refer to on the carbon theme?

Hi! The pre block is an alternative text block. To use it on tumblr posts, you have to edit the HTML of your text and surround it with <*pre> and </*pre> without the asterisks (*).

The "pre background" and "pre text" options allow users to customise the background and text colours of such blocks on the blog. This is how they look like on Carbon:
