What this is

A bunch of miscellaneous CSS 'improvements' that I, Croquembouche, use on a bunch of pages because I think it makes them easier to deal with.

The changes this component makes are bunch of really trivial modifications to ease the writing experience and to make documenting components/themes a bit easier (which I do a lot). It doesn't change anything about the page visually for the reader — the changes are for the writer.

I wouldn't expect translations of articles that use this component to also use this component, unless the translator likes it and would want to use it anyway.

This component probably won't conflict with other components or themes, and even if it does, it probably won't matter too much.

Usage

On any wiki:

[[include :scp-wiki:component:croqstyle]]

This component is designed to be used on other components. When using on another component, be sure to add this inside the component's [[iftags]] block, so that users of your component are not forced into also using Croqstyle.

Related components

Other personal styling components (which change just a couple things):

• RSO Component — Rounderhouse

Personal styling themes (which are visual overhauls):

• Magnus Web Format — DrMagnus
• Flopstyle CSS — Lt Flops
• Blankstyle CSS — HarryBlank
• Placestyle CSS — Placeholder McD
• Jakstyle — JakdragonX

CSS changes

Reasonably-sized footnotes

Stops footnotes from being a million miles wide, so that you can actually read them.

.hovertip { max-width: 400px; }

Monospace edit/code

Makes the edit textbox monospace, and also changes all monospace text to Fira Code, the obviously superior monospace font.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fira+Code:wght@400;700&display=swap');
 
:root { --mono-font: "Fira Code", Cousine, monospace; }
#edit-page-textarea, .code pre, .code p, .code, tt, .page-source { font-family: var(--mono-font); }
.code pre * { white-space: pre; }
.code *, .pre * { font-feature-settings: unset; }

Teletype backgrounds

Adds a light grey background to <tt> elements ({{text}}), so code snippets stand out more.

tt {
  background-color: var(--swatch-something-bhl-idk-will-fix-later, #f4f4f4);
  font-size: 85%;
  padding: 0.2em 0.4em;
  margin: 0;
  border-radius: 6px;
}

No more bigfaces

Stops big pictures from appearing when you hover over someone's avatar image, because they're stupid and really annoying and you can just click on them if you want to see the big version.

.avatar-hover { display: none !important; }

Breaky breaky

Any text inside a div with class nobreak has line-wrapping happen between every letter.

.nobreak { word-break: break-all; }

Code colours

Add my terminal's code colours as variables. Maybe I'll change this to a more common terminal theme like Monokai or something at some point, but for now it's just my personal theme, which is derived from Tomorrow Night Eighties.

Also, adding the .terminal class to a fake code block as [[div class="code terminal"]] gives it a sort of pseudo-terminal look with a dark background. Doesn't work with [[code]], because Wikidot inserts a bunch of syntax highlighting that you can't change yourself without a bunch of CSS. Use it for non-[[code]] code snippets only.

Quick tool to colourise a 'standard' Wikidot component usage example with the above vars: link

:root {
  --c-bg: #393939;
  --c-syntax: #e0e0e0;
  --c-comment: #999999;
  --c-error: #f2777a;
  --c-value: #f99157;
  --c-symbol: #ffcc66;
  --c-string: #99cc99;
  --c-operator: #66cccc;
  --c-builtin: #70a7df;
  --c-keyword: #cc99cc;
}
 
.terminal, .terminal > .code {
  color: var(--c-syntax);
  background: var(--c-bg);
  border: 0.4rem solid var(--c-comment);
  border-radius: 1rem;
}

Debug mode

Draw lines around anything inside .debug-mode. The colour of the lines is red but defers to CSS variable --debug-colour.

You can also add div.debug-info.over and div.debug-info.under inside an element to annotate the debug boxes — though you'll need to make sure to leave enough vertical space that the annotation doesn't overlap the thing above or below it.

…like this!

.debug-mode, .debug-mode *, .debug-mode *::before, .debug-mode *::after {
  outline: 1px solid var(--debug-colour, red);
  position: relative;
}
.debug-info {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
  font-family: 'Fira Code', monospace;
  font-size: 1rem;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
.debug-info.over { top: -2.5rem; }
.debug-info.under { bottom: -2.5rem; }
.debug-info p { margin: 0; }

Emails regarding a Malphas redesign

From: Gabriel Trąba
To: "Malphas" project manager Sabina Justyś
Topic: Redesign Malphas
Content: Yo, I just wanted to make a few changes to the design. Because all of you work on the photo system based on the user's location and materialization, that I have nothing to do. So I thought about implementing one thing.

Content: What's your idea?

To: "Malphas" project manager Sabina Justyś
Topic: Re:Re:Redesign Malphas
Content: It's about the Malphas design, I don't like it very much. Wings, bird legs, skinny and that bird's head… I have something that would satisfy probably everyone. We will target it to a certain group of people who are able to spend huge amounts of money on stupid drawing. And they will definitely use the app. A mass that is not satisfied in this market and will be very happy to buy our products. So far I have made a simple sketch how it might look like: link

Topic: Re:Re:Re:Redesign Malphas
Content: …I'm not sure about the skull but I'll give it greenlight. We will implement this look in 1.0.0. In the meantime, you can work on the simplified version, some changes to the appearance, paid extra and shit. I trust you with this.

Emails about bugs in the project

From: Andrzej Heptyś
To: "Malphas" project manager Sabina Justyś
Topic: Bugs in Malphas version 0
Content: Hi,
we have a problem with MalVer, namely after the last update 0.0.9 and the transition to 1.0.0 there were massive changes in the behavior of the cloned host and the application stopped showing up in files. I have a whole long list of bugs that have started to show up. We'll have to fix it asap, and it's Thursday already.

From: "Malphas" project manager Sabina Justyś
To: Andrzej Heptyś
Topic: Re:Bugs in Malphas version 0
Content: Yes, I also noticed this problem. Okay, we're staying all night tonight. We fix whatever we can. I'll order a pizza. No one on the team leaves the building today until tomorrow.

To: "Malphas" project manager Sabina Justyś
Topic: Re:Re:Bugs in Malphas version 0
Content: Hi,
So there may be a slight problem with that. Namely, I definitely won't stay overnight. I didn't have it in the contract. You have to deal with the rest of the team, I don't mean to be rude, but a few hours here, night here, you know. I'll take my phone with me and try to fix the tickets on the 1-15 list.

Malphas version 1.0.1 patch notes

Malphas ver1.0.1 — Patch notes

• We have fixed an issue where the application was not showing up in system files.
• We fixed the bug where the app icon was not showing.
• The application now asks for permissions to use: camera, microphone, making and receiving calls, modifying files, calculator, manifesting in real space within a maximum of 50 meters from the user, flashlight, location and managing contacts instead of manually forcing them.
• Fixed an issue where the application functioned despite turning the phone into airplane mode.
• Malphas's gender is no longer randomly assigned from the two options. Upon installation, the user now has a choice of 56 genders with the ability to change preferences later.
• Fixed an issue where Malphas completely blocked the ability to remove the application, which caused significant system glitches on iOS phones, which could even lead to the removal of the system.
• Fixed font errors in the application interface.
• The ability to customize Malphas's voice has been added.
• The appearance of Malphas has been changed to be more user-friendly. It is possible to switch the appearance to "Legacy" in the premium subscription or for a one-time fee of 45 PLN. The customization of Malphas accessories and outfits for premium users has also been significantly expanded.
• Updated localization files.

Conversation about the leak

Malphas Team Chat

We are fucked

Andrzej: Hmm?

Marcin: ?

Gabriel: They are terminating the project?

No, someone leaked the old fucking version

Gabriel: …oh, so they are terminating not the project but us…

I entered random app store and it's there, with a fucking WIP name, for free, with 5k downloads..

Marcin: Bad joke, we just finished our tickets and now suddenly the old version has appeared in the public?

link

I wish this was a fucking joke. Management will tear my head off.

Marcin: God, that's the fucking version 1.0.0
I want to cry as soon as I see her code

Andrzej: I think I know the source…

ANDRZEJ YOU FUCKER!!!!

Meeting on the Malphas project

03.12.2013

[BEGIN LOG]

Adam Hunter: Okay, so let's start at the beginning. It was a project to see if we could transfer humans to electronics, and then transfer them to another body. After one test on the class C demon, we concluded that restoring it to the body outside of electronics was impossible. The previous project and all its documentation were terminated in favor of the new one.

Sabina Justyś: Yes.

Adam Hunter: The purpose of which was to modify the demon code from that test. To make it the perfect assistant, right?

Sabina Justyś: Correct.

Adam Hunter: It was the perfect opportunity to earn money, we managed to find an untouched market that was ready to pay thousands for it.

Sabina Justyś: Yes.

Adam Hunter: And now the free, heavily bugged version is completely free on the internet!?

Sabina Justyś: Unfortunately yes. In addition, as I checked recently, it broke 7k downloads.

Adam Hunter: Please tell me that at least our logo is not there, or anything to indicate that it is ours.

Sabina Justyś: Fortunately not, which saves us from a PR disaster. The application name itself is from a WIP name, not Malphas.

Adam Hunter: …

Sabina Justyś: Umm, Mr. Hunter? Everything's all right?

Adam Hunter:I think what to do… A literally cloned demon in app is now being sent out into the world. In addition, we have none of it… ADDITIONALLY, organisations other than the Foundation can find it, and we don't have a pact with them.

Sabina Justyś: I have an idea…

Adam Hunter: I am listening then.

Sabina Justyś: Maybe let one of our agents … In the Foundation facility "discover" an anomalous application … In version 1.0.0 there is no trace of us creating it. They'll clean up the whole thing for us and no one will notice what happened. While we fix the code, we'll change a few things and release a working version just later.

Adam Hunter: I would have given you a promotion if this shit weren't because of your team.

[END LOG]

Summary: An anonymous Hunter Industries agent at the Foundation was informed of the application. Andrzej Heptyś memories were cleared and then he was fired. The Malphas project continues.

Last image received by SCP-1471-9405 before being rendered inoperative

Item #: SCP-1471

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: All mobile devices that have SCP-1471 installed are to be confiscated and analyzed for any potential leads to other possibly affected devices. Afterwards, affected devices are to have their batteries removed, be assigned a designation (e.g. SCP-1471-#), and be placed in Storage Unit-91 at Research Site-45.

All online application stores for mobile devices are to be monitored to prevent any inadvertent sales of SCP-1471. Suspected devices are to be targeted using self-uploading malware in order to disable the device until it can be seized by field agents.

Description: SCP-1471 is a free 9.8MB application for mobile devices named "MalO ver1.0.0" in online application stores. SCP-1471 has no listed developer and is somehow able to bypass the application approval process to go directly to distribution. SCP-1471 is also able to avoid removal by other program manager applications.

After SCP-1471 is installed, no icons or shortcuts are created for the application. SCP-1471 will then begin to send the individual images through text messaging every 3-6 hours. All images will contain SCP-1471-A either within the background or foreground. SCP-1471-A appears as a large humanoid figure with a canid-like skull and black hair.
