09:21:51 Have you tried to use HexChat? 09:22:06 nope 09:22:26 hexchat.github.io 09:22:32 also register your nickname: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration 09:23:51 hi 09:24:07 Good morning 09:24:39 Vijay_: And how is your HexChat installation? 09:24:52 Vijay_: because you are still using webchat 09:24:52 i didnt do it yet 09:25:12 Maybe we can help you fix the problems with it :D 09:25:38 its not installing 09:25:46 i cant install anything in my pc 09:26:32 :( 09:26:34 why? 09:26:35 Vijay_: Could you tell us what's the error? someone here might have a solution 09:26:41 yup 09:26:49 First tell us your OS 09:26:56 win10 09:27:00 need to reinstall it 09:27:13 what's so extreme that it warrants a reinstall? 09:27:15 the windows function are not working 09:28:23 `windows function` umm? 09:28:49 hey could u make this a good one 09:29:11 make what? 09:29:35 https://codepen.io//pen/ 09:29:43 this is my friend's pen 09:29:48 could u make it look good 09:30:43 Vijay_: I think if you can execute a browser in your OS, it's already good enough to execute hexchat program 09:31:16 could u make it look good 09:31:17 ??? 09:31:53 "make it look good" is very vague 09:32:09 we can give you suggestions as to make it look better, sure 09:32:16 could u edit it 09:32:23 by forking and give the link to pen 09:33:00 sorry, can't help you with that 09:33:08 anyone ? 09:33:50 Vijay_: why don't you try your hand at it? 09:34:01 i made some edits 09:34:07 which u are seeing right now 09:34:21 i am not much creative 09:34:25 thats why 09:35:33 1) maybe choose a different set of colours. deep blue with gold might look good. 2) use a different font face for the text, probably something that looks calligraphic for their name and a script fontface for the rest of the text. 09:36:00 3) the placeholder for the image (i assume) doesn't look very good with its purple inner border 09:36:21 and i'm not a fan of the rounded corners there either. 09:36:32 :+1: 09:37:38 umm 09:38:15 where to add the gold? 09:38:45 might look good as an accent colour. maybe some subtle lines where they make sense 09:38:52 or in some decorative swishes 09:39:03 try being creative, i'm sure you'll come up with something good 09:39:11 creativity is not innate 09:39:14 now check this 09:39:19 https://codepen.io//pen/ 09:40:24 how about this colour: https://www.colorhexa.com/0a296c 09:41:02 perfect 09:41:06 could u edit it 09:41:15 and maybe this font for things apart from the recipients name: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Great+Vibes 09:42:05 Vijay_: eh, it's customary to not ask people on the internet to do your work for you, but i'll do it this one time :) 09:42:17 thanks 09:42:22 make changes in alignment also 09:42:26 and thanks a lot 09:42:34 will not ask again :joy: 09:43:15 what alignment? 09:43:32 make it look like a certificate 09:43:37 thankskskskskksks 09:43:51 shreyasminocha: You've obviously never heard of nerd sniping 09:44:01 Reedy: lol 09:44:08 i caught that xkcd ref 09:44:25 got* 09:44:29 :) 09:44:58 Vijay_: I think you should remove the shadow from Title saying Certificate of Completion 09:45:07 i second that 09:45:14 in fact, i was going to mention it 09:48:04 Vijay_: i changed the colour and center-aligned the certificate id thing. take it from here. https://codepen.io/shreyasminocha/pen/VVzzzN 09:48:22 lmk once you've incorporated the changes into your version, after which i'll delete my fork 09:50:00 Vijay_: for the name, i think something like https://www.1001fonts.com/canterbury-font.html or another old english font would work well 09:50:09 but i think you should delete the underline underneath it 09:50:22 (unless you plan on printing the template, which i think is unlikely) 09:52:49 change what u think which are not perfect 09:52:50 pls 09:53:49 i really think you should do it yourself, there's a lot of value in learning by trying. 09:53:59 pls last time 09:54:15 my pc gets hanged when i open codepen 09:54:21 we've given the suggestions, if you're unsure about how to implement them you can of course ask us. 09:54:43 Vijay_: you could save them as html, css files and edit them on your system 09:55:03 last time edit pls 09:56:40 sorry man, i'm up to something else right now 09:57:02 pls just 10 mins 09:58:48 eh 09:58:58 You need to do tasks at your own too 10:01:11 not tasks 10:01:21 it is extra work 10:01:26 could u alter it 10:01:48 https://codepen.io//pen/ 10:06:06 ?
