Scratch

Thanks, I'll read over and update it when I can. As for the centring, I tried uncommenting but it still displays to the left for me)

You forgot to get rid of the "margin-left:2px" underneath, that's why 

What are we doing with skins now? The skins idea was originally part of the image-controlling plan to make sure images were safe when used.

I am officially not editing any part of the site anymore. Have fun!

I am gobsmacked that you did that much on it today! It looks brilliant!

How do you mean "fixed" on the edit page?

I mean literally redo... the /edit page is terrible right now!

Wow, looks awesome! (I have internet @ vacation!)

Love the new updates! Good job!

Have a look at /testedit for a failed HTML5 version of the GUI.

I'm completely lost and don't know where to start. This dragging and elements thing is rocket science

We could always default back to the original idea where we have a textbox for the x and y coordinates of each element...

True, but if draggable elements have been done before, why not have them ourselves too?

I will continue to think of ways to make them work with the tools we have right now.
I suggest that we don't use HTML5 canvases, what do you think?

Done. Do you like them?

I was more thinking of the buttons on ifttt.com when I posted that, but yours are cool too. If it were me, however, I'd match the color in the center of the gradient to your header, as well as get rid of the box-shadow on the bottom of the button. But that's just my opinion, no pressure. 

Oh, lol....
There's no gradient on the buttons, and the whole thing does already match the header.
Are you sure you're viewing the same buttons as these in your browser?

I personally quite like the box shadow. I'll experiment with different border radii to match the style of the site you linked me to, but I give no guarantees as to my liking it 

Hmm... It appears that the buttons look different on your browser. I'm using Chrome for iOS, and I see round buttons with a gradient that is a completely different color than the header, with a ton of box-shadow.   

BTW, I can't drag and drop anything on my iOS device ATM.

Are we using Jquery in conjunction with HTML5? It would help a whole lot for draggable elements.

Nobody can. It's not actually functional.

Well, if you know how to do it, I cannot wait to see it actually work!
I have no experience whatsoever with jQuery so I would kind of have to help halfway there.

I'll give it a shot when I get back to a fully functional workspace. 

I believe Quexar (my old [scratch] company) made a VB program similar to this, for a GUI editor of a graphics library... Maybe it's time to assemble the team again 

But seriously, I'll try to figure it out.    In the mean time, perhaps work out the skins interface.

... What kind of cake?

And yeah, browser compatibility is the web developer's nightmare :S

I've never looked into Jquery before so lets talk PHP.

I'm assuming we're using the Jquery GUI to layout the design, then pass the information via the database across to a PHP script to draw the image?

Ah, VB is a lot easier. At least it's standard and consistent across all Windows platforms!!
I've made draggable wonders in VB before; for example, my shell Firedust (you probably heard of it, I think you posted on its thread too) has awesome draggable windows as well as integrated drag&drop. It actually even has a block-based IDE 

The problems that Javascript is giving me in this sector are due to
a) the fact that not all browsers treat my code in the same way; and
b) that javascript structure doesn't really follow programming standards- getting to declare an object type using a single function (with embedded functions in it, too!) is just mindblowing for me!

So if jQuery makes it easy for you, I can't wait till you do get back to your workspace    Meanwhile I'll go check if my cake has baked.

I think we should just drop support for IE, and focus on Firefox and Chrome. We can have a message that says for us to recommend Chrome. Yea, Javascript is a little different, but hey, you haven't really got into Python yet.    It uses tabs to define lines of code instead of semicolons.

Yup. And what's the talk about cake.

Precisely.

The cake's a classic italian 'crostata', excellent if you ask me. 

I was already looking into starting the renderer but realised we didn't really have a complete list of possible items. Would you like to prepare the database for the code while I go on my holiday reprise for these two weeks?

Additionally, this is a very small thing, but I noticed not everyone decided to link their Scratch account. Of course this was expected, but this same person decided to link it on Mod Share, which makes me think maybe we should have the "I want to link this account with Scratch!" checkbox automatically checked on register. A sort of opt-out instead of opt-in!

Alright. Sounds good. 

We need to write a documentation of a sort for users and for us to keep track of stuff.
