Visual Updates to the Forge

[BadEye]

UPDATE:

The visual updates to the Forge are live now. After we dug in a bit further, we found that more items were impacted by color style tags than previously thought, and we received feedback that many of those color tags were unintentional as the result of copying / pasting from other stores. Given that closer to 740 items were impacted and would appear as dark text on the dark background, we have set the long description for products to be forced to a light text color temporarily to ease the transition for everyone.

We plan to keep that forced color in for a week or so, and remove it on Monday, August 12th to allow you to once again use custom colors. In the meantime, you can update any color coding you would like in your product descriptions to have them ready for when we open things back up for color customization.

Please share in the Forums or Discord if you run across any issues with the visual updates and we'll get them addressed.


Thanks for making great stuff for Fantasy Grounds!

Hello everyone!

As you might have seen, I've been tackling look and feel updates on the website and FGU app (some of which are in the test channel now, live soon). We wanted to give a heads up that we will be updating the Forge site this Sunday (~48 hours from now) to bring it in line with the recent Fantasy Grounds site visual changes.

Here's a quick peek at the updates:

This will mean dark mode on Forge pages. We've crawled all the products on the Forge and see that 7 developers across ~30 products have used style tags in their product descriptions. If you've done that to designate a color for text and you've set that to something black or dark, then it won't look right when the update is live. We'll share again here in the forums once things are good to go on Sunday, but you'll want to update those colors following that. I'll also be emailing the affected Forge developers with this heads up in case it's not seen in the Forums or Discord.

Once we're live, please let us know if you come across any inconsistencies, and we'll get those resolved quickly.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Nice, thanks for the work

I am getting no font color no matter what I do (other than links). I reset the whole page to default, then built in the color and saved. No color other than links show up.

We actually had the color override still in there since we haven't heard from anyone that was trying to use custom colors yet - but you're the winner!

I removed it just now, so you should see your colors after a hard refresh.

Thanks for the report!

Thanks, because I was also about to use custom colors in the forge description in my next round of updates.
