Suggestion: Online icon or not at all

    I recently changed my settings so the on/offline symbol will show
    But now, getting to see them all, I released that they are very similar. I am actually colour blind so it is hard for me to see the difference between the different colour.
    Now my suggestion is, we have the green circle for online, then for offline we just have no circle. Sorry if this is just an inconvenience, it really won't affect that many people so i understand if this doesn't happen.
    Thanks in advance ^_^
     
    I'm pretty sure that all the themes have a feature where if you hover over the online icon, something like "Alli is offline" or "Alli is online" will pop up. If that's not a feature on all themes, then perhaps we can get that put in. I don't think they're going to want to code them out though. Does that feature work on the theme you're using though? I never change mine so I'm not sure how it is on others, but I know it does work on Dimensional Rift.
     
    Ah the problem is I primarily use mobile to view the fourm, and I use sky high
     
    I think this makes sense for the mobile format. I have that issue, too, when I browse on my mobile.

    I'm not colour blind even and I can't tell the difference between the online and offline symbol for Sky High. The grey looks too similar to the greyish tinge the theme uses #confuzzled
     
    I'm perhaps in agreement with the fact that the symbols in Sky High that indicate online/offline status are perhaps a little too similar to one another, but I'd say that for now just use a different style. I use Infernal Smash (fixed width), and the online status icons in that style have a clear distinction between each other.

    If you can bring yourself to use a different style than your favorite, another idea is to pick one where the online symbols animate and the offline ones don't! There are some skins with tiny pokemon icons filling this role. I don't know them all off the top of my head, but (the very pink) Blossom Shower does this, as well as Ampharos Starry Night, Pawlicious (a smooth skin you might like) and sloooowpoooooke to name a few.
