April Fools' CSS

#1 Post by aj »

Now that it's over, here's how stuff was done

The reversed profile (location, join date, etc):

Code: Select all

.profile {
  unicode-bidi:bidi-override;
  direction:rtl;
}
Setting things to Comic Sans:

Code: Select all

.body {
font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
Rotating images:

Code: Select all

.img {
   -ms-transform: rotate(175deg); /* IE 9 */
   -webkit-transform: rotate(175deg); /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
    transform: rotate(175deg);
}
Hope everyone enjoyed!

I hated it.


Not kidding. I detest April Fool's Day. This was only the icing on the [censored] cake.

Well, I thought it was very clever, aj. Technically savvy, non-destructive, and at worst, inconvenient and silly rather than really mean or dangerous.

It's amazing what a little css can do. InceptionBwaaa, I don't see why you would hate it, this was the best practical joke that didn't hurt anything other than some tilted images. It was all fun and no one got hurt this time.

I always hate April Fool's. It's just mindless pranking, for no good reason. It gives people an excuse to act like idiots, as was displayed multiple times over at my school.

Not calling you an idiot, aj. Just wish you wouldn't have done that.

Dude, will you just get over it?

What exactly did aj do? Rotated some images and put in some other freaking word filters in.

The whole point of April Fools is to mess around and make people laugh. I get it, it's frustrating when people make you feel like an idiot by pranking you, but I fail to see how messing around with the site's CSS offends anyone.

That's fine if you don't like April Fools, but quit being so vocal about it to someone that didn't mean any harm by it. It's not fair to them

I thought it was great... and I learned something new about css -- that is, these transforms also work on animated gifs, and it works /correctly/(at least in firefox). I'll probably find a use for this at work one of these days...
