Homebrew The All New 3DSThemes.com Huge Site Update! ツ

[omegazeroINFI]

just a question because this has been bothering me about the site.

do all the downloads have the be Theme.zip? that pretty much forces you to download 1 at a time rather than bulk downloading all the ones you want to avoid losing track of what was what.

They are planning on changing that so that the zip is named after the theme.

Hey, I think a good feature to add would be the ability to change your theme description, title, and files so if you update your theme you won't have to upload the theme over and over.

I wish the banner actually clicks to themes. Also, with all these preview ideas, maybe have videos in show more?


Also, will there be a sort by downloads for all? Why stop at 9?

We need a CS:GO theme...

 

[SomeGamer]

Oh, RSS feed for themes, please!

The website can be responsive but all is broken because into baseview.css there is a lot of "min-width: 960px" "width: 960px" on .container and custom #...wrap... I know BS3 grid can be difficult to use but if you can simplify your template with only BS3 grid system. That will be awesome!

On mobile the scrolling header made my phone (OnePlus One..) crazy!
- Maybe we can hide it on mobile device ? (class hidden-sm hidden-xs ... http://getbootstrap.com/css/#responsive-utilities)
- And not start scrolling js ? (By example with https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js)

This would be great. Probably a future feature.

We were considering this with the banner, and have it in plans to eventually do that.
We will eventually list all themes by downloads, but for now until we configure paging to work /correctly/ on search results for that, we are limiting it to 9.
Please understand

Hey, just here to make a feedback of a bug i've came across on the site.

So i run this account with my friend called "Fivda&Yanis", and whenever you click on our username it redirects on a failed research, as seen here. This might be due because of the "&" symbol in our username, since it doesn't seem to accept it in the research.

Oh wow, great find, this should be an easy fix, thanks for letting us know!

Working on this now. Will post results.

Maybe there should be a "Most downloaded Themes" in the navbar? It would be great in my opinion

Edit: there should also be a search bar, and when you upload a theme you can add a tag, like #Pokemon, #Zelda or anything.

These are already features on our site, they just work a bit different. for top downloaded, you could type "sort:downloads" in our search bar. Otherwise just searching something like for example "Kirby" yields results like your asking for. As for the tags, we do have something like that planned to come on another site update, so do stay tuned for that.

When filtering by people, a username with a space in it isn't detected.
Instead it searches a part of the username (before the space)
for example http://3dsthemes.com/search/Sort:User Final Force searches for the user Final

Yea, this is a known issue, it also applies to usernames with the & sign. A fix will be pushed shortly! Sorry for any inconvenience!

Imagine if there were a 3DS client for this site...

Hopefully you shouldn't have to imagine for much longer

I like the site, but that scrolling banner at the top is a monstrosity! Ironically named "slider_small", the image has a size of 15707x285 and takes several seconds to completely load. As a web developer, I tend to use a local proxy with caching disabled, so it takes this long every time I load a new page on the site. What's more, Chrome's CPU usage spikes when the animation starts because it's having to render that huge image every single frame. 99% of the time I spend browsing pages on the web, I never hear my MacBook Pro's fan. When I'm on your site I hear it constantly.

Break up the image: chop up the waves into a small repeating background and have separate images for each of the "featured" themes. You can even lazy-load the images as they near the proximity of the viewport and couple this with pausing the animation when the banner is scrolled out of view, saving large amounts of bandwidth.

Yea, the image is pretty bad. We are remaking it, with much much smaller images, sorry about that. A new version of it may be out as early as some time in later in the day (US Central Time) if everything goes to plan. Just bare with us a little longer.

Yeah, it's doable, but pretty rough on my mobile devices. That said, I still want to browse the site as it is. I don't want a mobile version that looks completely different.

We actually just pushed a better mobile version, it acts the same, and its not some crippled version of the site. This is one of the great perks of bootstrap!
