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

Is there a way to add more links to the header/topbar of your nitrogen theme?

Hi, and yeah it's possible! Locate this section in the HTML and add the highlighted code before the ending div tag for .header-nav:

Here it is for easy copy-pasting (remember to re-type the quotation marks):

<a href="LINK" title="TITLE WHEN U HOVER">LINK TITLE</a>

You can add as many links as you want in this way or even edit the existing ones, but I recommend not exceeding a single line!

Hi! I´m trying to use your lovely Nitrogen theme and I'm wondering how you get the top title in two different colors? tysm ♥

Hello, thank you for using Nitrogen! :) Use bold HTML tags to make the text differently coloured like this:

[xuethms]

hello!!! Your nitrogen theme is the BEST!!! Love the header and rounded corners!!! I was wondering if it's possible to increase the margin between posts? How would i do that?

Hello, I'm really happy to hear that you enjoy it!! ^^

Yes it's possible, please go to your theme HTML and search for this CSS block (you can use ctrl+f to search for ".entry {"):

Increase 45px (underlined in yellow) to whatever margin spacing you would like.
