unify the search button and box | 7TV | Page 1

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 9:07 PM

Currently there is a "search profiles" button 🔍 at the top of all pages, and on the emotes page below it there is a search box for emotes. I know there are reasons for it, but it has the potential to confuse new users trying to search for either emotes OR users, if they try to use the wrong one. Using the same icon for both can cause people to assume they perform the same function. If unification is impossible, perhaps using different icons could help. Maybe a silhouette-of-head-and-shoulders style "user" or "account" icon.

try to make it look similar to these https://fontawesome.com/search?q=user&o=r&f=sharp

theres just no "user search" icon

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:11 PM

#

I think @dreamy hedge suggested a good icon

#

the person with the glass?

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:11 PM

#

yeah it will need to be in line with the style though

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:11 PM

it was afaik

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:11 PM

#

just adding a magnifier icon to that would work ig

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:12 PM

this in white

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

yea this isnt correct style

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:12 PM

doesn't need to be that exact one obviously catYawn

@silent lake combine these two with pixel perfection rq, please

Okayeg

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:16 PM

alternative: change ALL the icons to another set that has user search PAGMANDANCEBUTFAST ez

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:20 PM

#

theres legit no other large icon set with a sharp theme

#

i was considering moving off fontawesome (due to it being paid and thereby making it difficult for people to run the frontend locally) but then they came out with that gem of an icon theme

#

sharp themes are just too based (unbiased opinion)

what about adding the bar too the profile search to and specify "Search profile" and "Search emote"

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:24 PM

#

Keep the search on the top so it's always on no matter which page

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:25 PM

"the search" which one LULE

dreamy hedge rounded is just too clean doesn't even compare sorry atol

cope

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 9:27 PM

#

although searching for emotes should probably take precedence over searching for users, since the whole site is all about emotes and stuff

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:27 PM

#

rounded is literally shit you'd see in the 90s

#

sharp looks sleek and modern

anatole don't look but badges are rounded catCrying

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:28 PM

ok but very small rounding is okay

#

what isn't okay is like

when your website is made up of fucking circles

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:29 PM

DONT look at all the bars and buttons on discord catCrying !!!!

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 9:29 PM

#

How impractical is it to have a single search feature for users and emotes? @stray adder

#

or maybe a dropdown when you click the 🔍 that lets you pick which to search for

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:30 PM

#

wdym

#

there is search for emotes on the emote list and search for users in the user area

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 9:30 PM

#

in my mind, people may want to search for emotes from the home page

#

since it's an emote service and such

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:30 PM

#

how would that work

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:30 PM

#

It's bad design

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:30 PM

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:31 PM

ppL "doglookingsussyandcute"

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

Just make the profile search (that appears in every page) emote search

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

???

#

how does that make any sense

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

How does it not

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

ok I definitely disagree that u need a bar on every page, literally just click on the emote tab

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

????? just click the big EMOTES button

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

but the two searches do need to look a bit different so it's easier to differentiate

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

It's annoying

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

also this screams "this area here is about users"

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

No it doenst

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:32 PM

different icon is all that's needed

no it should not

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:34 PM

I don't understand why you want it to be harder to find the emote you want

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

dreamy hedge 🤮

pixel complaining? 🤨

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

it is not hard to click the emote tab

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

lofty locust it is not hard to click the emote tab

it is an extra click though.

lofty locust Sep 6, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

there's no reason to search for emote on home page or sub page

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

Reducing friction should always be a goal

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

onyx maple I don't understand why you want it to be harder to find the emote you want

explain to me why you want to find emotes by their name only

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

?

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

dont you want to actually look at the image?

onyx maple Sep 6, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

What

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

No, entering an emote name in the search box would take you to the normal search results page

#

you pepega

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

hello, what you're saying retard, is that you want emotes to be as small as these user avatars icons

#

this isnt useful

that dropdown search results thing could probably be replaced too, with something more like the regular emote search result, except with people instead of emotes

ApuThink maybe the magnifier could be placed in a way that wouldn't affect the size of the user icon

#

cuz this will squish it in the bottom with the square aspect ratio

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 10:13 PM

#

I can squish them closer but it gets kinda janky

stray adder Sep 6, 2022, 10:16 PM

thats better

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 10:17 PM

the distance between the circles is not ideal icon design

is this 1:1 FDM

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

not quite

#

but it's closer to 1:1 than the original user icon

#

if you'd be ok with the magnifying glass at a non-45-degree angle, it could be much closer to 1:1

#

it could look like this

#

not everything has to be perfectly square though

untold hemlock Sep 6, 2022, 10:57 PM

#

what about replacing the head with the magnifying glasses

#

looks scuffed af cuz i was lazy to open ps and used paint

#

but it can save space if you use it as the head

#

and just add more of the "buddy" and change it around a bit

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 11:08 PM

#

LULE

#

maybe

#

I was thinking about something more like this

#

but maybe replacing part of the head and body at the same time would be best

untold hemlock Sep 6, 2022, 11:09 PM

#

this part

#

NotLikeThis

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

🤓 realistically the magnifying glass would make that part larger and distorted

#

this is way too much detail for an icon like this though

untold hemlock Sep 6, 2022, 11:20 PM

#

yeah, i meant that this part just looks out of place

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 11:20 PM

#

it does yeah

#

does this look too goofy?

untold hemlock Sep 6, 2022, 11:21 PM

#

can barely tell it's supposed to look like a user icon

#

maybe smaller border between the glass and the user

silent lake Sep 6, 2022, 11:22 PM

#

I think it looks recognizable as a user icon

#

I'm still moving stuff around though

#

so here's what I'm thinking for the final version. Looks pretty good at small sizes tbh

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:00 AM

jagged?

dreamy hedge Sep 7, 2022, 4:00 AM

it's like it's aliased

no anti-aliasing

so it just looks really jagged and weird

#

maybe it's just bc the white is so bright

but idrk

drifting portal Sep 7, 2022, 4:11 AM

#

cant notice it much on the other pages since its dark on dark

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:13 AM

#

try adding outline: 1px solid transparent; on the elements concerned

#

in theory that should cause the browser to run anti aliasing

dreamy hedge Sep 7, 2022, 4:13 AM

#

how do i do that

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:13 AM

#

i cant really see anything

#

like sure if you zoom in enough you see it but thats just how pixels work

#

i.e pixels are squares

dreamy hedge Sep 7, 2022, 4:14 AM

#

nah it just looks really jagged in general

#

on all the icons

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:14 AM

#

it does not

dreamy hedge Sep 7, 2022, 4:14 AM

#

even without zooming in

#

bro it literally does idk what to tell you LULE

#

i have a 1080p 144hz monitor

#

even on my newer ultrawide with like true coloring it's just as bad

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:15 AM

#

im sure that 144hz helps a lot with those static layout boxes

silent lake Sep 7, 2022, 4:16 AM

#

stray adder i cant really see anything

even in this pic you can see the aliasing

#

without zooming in

#

unless you have a 15 inch 4k display

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:16 AM

#

barely, but again that is just how browsers render this

#

there isnt anything that can be done about it

silent lake Sep 7, 2022, 4:16 AM

#

if you made all the angles 45 degrees exactly, it would look fine

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:17 AM

#

it would be better if this specific area used a clip-path rather than a gradient

#

altho ends up the same really i think

silent lake Sep 7, 2022, 4:19 AM

#

when the shape has less contrast, it's obviously less noticeable. But still noticeable

#

it's all based on the pixel density of peoples' screens

#

on mobile phones, pixel density is super high these days and people don't even bother to anti-alias stuff anymore

#

but on desktop displays, lots of people have fairly low pixel densities

dreamy hedge Sep 7, 2022, 4:20 AM

#

yea the icons look clean on my phone

silent lake Sep 7, 2022, 4:21 AM

#

I like high pixel densities so I always get the smallest screens for a given resolution, and I can still see them

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:21 AM

#

well yeah there isnt a thing to be done about it

#

unfortunately

#

im gonna have to tell you that,

#

you will pixel complain about this forever

#

and there is nothing that will come of it

silent lake Sep 7, 2022, 4:21 AM

#

but I want to complain anyway

#

BatChest complaaaaaaaaain

dreamy hedge Sep 7, 2022, 4:22 AM

sharp theming moment LULE

silent lake Sep 7, 2022, 4:22 AM

#

I know some people get 1080p monitors that are like 24, 27, even 32 inches because they have high refresh rates instead of high resolutions. Those pixels are MASSIVE in comparison

#

the largest 1080p screen I'll ever buy is 21 inches

#

that works out to about the same density as 27 inches at 1440p

stray adder Sep 7, 2022, 4:23 AM

it's fine on my 1440p and 2160p 32" monitors
