User style: 1973 prism, the Dark Side of Stylus

Topics:

After the previous dark theme for Stylus was published, I was left feeling a little unsatisfied with the result. I thought I could do better, but didn't have the inspiration. That inspiration came to me as I listened to the 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, while checking out how to use PrismJS to display code on Blogger. It suddenly hit me: 1973 prism, the Dark Side of Stylus was born...

Features

This new Stylus theme is dark, but more elegant than the previous theme for Stylus that I did, and shows colourful accents in both the edit style page and the styles management page. It is also more complete in that settings, options, export and information screens have been darkened as well. So no more sudden painful experiences for your eyes when opening a bright submenu or a popup screen in the middle of the night!
The theme displays a clear visual identifier on top of a code block to indicate that code has been modified.

Furthermore, it introduces my first theme for the code editor (CodeMirror), which is based on the okaidia theme for PrismJS by @ocodia, which in turn was loosely based on the Monokai textmate theme by @monokai.

...hear the softly spoken magic spell...

To activate the 1973 prism theme for CodeMirror, just select the Default theme in the Stylus settings. You may have to press F5 to refresh once or twice if the editor still shows black on white after activating the default theme.

Blogger Tutorial: the best SEO title tag, Addendum

SEO and XML go hand in hand on the Blogger platform. So do XML and learning, for me at least. After my first post on Blogger and search engine optimization, Blogger Tutorial: the best SEO title tag , I wasn't quite satisfied with the results. On search results, label pages and archive pages, the title still showed ' O'Cor | O'Cor '. I realized that these have their own objects that could be used to display a relevant title. Now, I know that these kinds of pages are not indexed by search robots, so why bother? Well, first I like to challenge myself and to learn new things. Second, it felt like there were some loose ends to tie. I don't like loose ends. Third, I don't really need a reason: it's my personal blog and I can do as I like (and it feels GOOD!). So, I set about learning on how to optimize the title tag even more. After a sleep deprived night (almost), I think I came up with a satisfying result. If you wish to jump to the code and don't...

Best music software you (n)ever knew

Ultimately, it's not money that makes the world go 'round. It's music! From the first music I ever bought (a greatest hits album by Golden Earring on ... wait for it: cassette tape!) to hard-rock, disco, classical music, funk, soul, latin, jazz, blues and so much more, I have always enjoyed music. I have some 500 albums on vinyl and some 700 on cd. I know it's not the largest collection of music by far, but it's dear to me and holds many memories. Whether precious or painful, they're part of my life and always will be. Last year I started considering the possibility to digitize my music collection. Even with 'only' 1200 albums it looked like a daunting task. With most cd's it was easy enough to do. Some cd's had copy protection though. Also, I don't own a USB record player, so digitizing my vinyl albums was going to be a challenge. In this post I will share with you the seven software applications I used to make the process a little les...

10 Podcast Favourites

I have a new hobby: listening to podcasts. It's a wonderful experience to ride your bike on the way to work or home or while doing your grocery shopping and to have someone riding along and telling you a story in the privacy of your ears. Some stories are so wonderfully and intimately told that it's easy to think they were made just for you. I bought a pair of JBL earphones just for the experience of getting immersed in a different world. It's one of the best buys I made this year. Get immersed in an alternate world Listening to podcasts this way brings me back to my childhood when my parents or grandparents told stories just for me. I can almost hear my grandmother's voice again reading me an exciting new tale from one of my favourite children's books while I cuddle up to her. Listen to Ocor's Ten Podcast Favourites That is the kind of experience you can have while listening to a professional podcast. And ther...
