green=new posts in child board, as far as I know. :)

also/btw, on the other theme, it's

whitish=no new posts
purple=new posts
blue=new posts in child board.
just in case someone hadn't yet figured that out. XD

was it like that in the old forum?  :huh: Also, you should put that on the bottom of the forum home page, too.  :)

the old forum did only have the balls as new-post-indicators.
I would think people'd get it easily enough. and I'm suspecting it'd take some theme modding to show such explanation there at the bottom, which only LPChip can do. And since he's rather busy, I guess you'll all just have to do without. X)

I'd need new images first. Adding this isn't that hard though.

just like those bars (http://www.cubeupload.com/files/49c800newposts.png) ? these are in the same height as the balls. or did you think of something else? :crazy:

I was thinking of a third ball in the colour of the bars, like I did with the other bars. The bars match the colour of the ball if there wasn't a game image and the balls were used instead.

there are WADF balls when the topic is not about a game.
Can be there the pictures too?

Pictures of what? Most of the non-game forums are too general to have a neat little picture for them, or to have a picture for them would be too complex.

to answer that, you can read this (http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=13.msg291#msg291) and the three follwing posts.

...that does not entirely make sense. The "New posts in Child Board"-Indicator of neither the "Knytt-" nor the "WaDF-Edition" have corresponding WaDF balls. When you're being picky about the actual colour values, like I like to be.
I did however make some ball images in the respective colours. I'd vote for replacing the current "tiny" balls from the Knytt Edition with the full size pictures, like the WaDF edition has. That's why I included more images than seemingly needed at first glance.

Great, I'll replace them right away.
