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...

MeWe v. Facebook: Red Pill or Blue Pill?

I am not an activist, nor one to climb the barricades, but sometimes I get so provoked that I'd almost become one. Facebook's provocations over the years have had me pulling my hair out more than I'm willing to admit. So much so, that I'd almost climb those barricades "armed with clubs, axes, pitchforks, and firearms and carrying icons and banners" * 1 . Pirating Privacy I hope that everyone is aware by now that there is no such thing as Facebook and privacy. In fact, mentioning the two in the same sentence is almost blasphemous. Two of the most recent privacy and security breaches were: March 21, 2019: Facebook made public that millions of user account passwords had been stored in plain text format, which potentially allowed employees to gain access to people's accounts without their knowledge (source: Business Insider * 2 ), April 4, 2019: "half a billion records of Facebook users were found exposed on Amazon cloud servers, containing informat...

It's here, it's great and it's Not Over Yet!

A funky organ, a funky brass section, a steaming rhythm section, easily the best guitar player this part of the western hemisphere (okay, not counting Jan Akkerman) and the most soulful smokey singer you have ever heard. All of that and gorgeously crafted songs, a lot of soul and passion. That's the new album Not Over Yet by fusion veterans Back to Basic. It was released yesterday, June 25th. For me this is no doubt the best album Back to Basic has ever released. And that's saying a lot. I suggest you install Equalizer APO , plug in your earphones and have a listen: The album is available on many music platforms, including YouTube (see above) and Spotify and can be purchased via Amazon , among others. For me this is no doubt the best album Back to Basic has ever released. And that's saying a lot. Review Honestly, what's not to like? Admittedly, to some young folks out there the band's members may look like old rockers. And I guess they are that too...
