The last time I earned a hidden layout achievement was years ago for the Morostide layout. I would love the chance to earn a Cherry Blossom layout achievement. Cherry Blossoms are just so beautiful and I think having a themed layout would but stunning! Please tell me your thoughts on this idea. The way in which we could earn this can be suggested in many ways. Perhaps through the Tea House concept that is currently being worked on? Or even through some kind of event from Shengui Guo?

I don't know if there may be some sort of coding issue invovled in this. The other layouts still seem to work well, and even the current Morostide one I use still looks fine. No coding issues from what I can tell.

I desperately want to see this happen! Of the Subeta layouts I currently have, I've been using the same Morostide one all this time. Lol I want to change it but whenever I do, I'm just not happy with the other color schemes and themes I have.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope others feel the same way as me.

pinging some friends, what do you think about this?

Ikr? I think it would be so amazing. I'd leave as my layout for years like I have so far with my Morostide lol.

I see lots of cherry blossom ideas irl and hopefully people aren't sick of them or anything. xD I'm adding more to the cherry blossom craze.

I've only recently began to truly appreciate them. I know I sound so terrible. I've heard about festivals in Japan and Washington D.C. I hope to visit those places some day. For now I think a layout would be lovely, just like you said.

Maybe we can make this happen. Layouts are just so neglected around here. I am terrible with coding anything so I've never tried to personalize my layout, especially since there is a chance that it would interfere with the coding on site already.

Once the new Subeta layout goes live some time in the future, a Shengui Guo cherry blossom themed layout would be a really nice addition to the ones we have!

For the moment though, I think you can probably commission someone to code one for you? I'm not familiar with that market so I can't tell you how much it would cost, but I have seen people getting custom layouts made every now and then. Subeta Graphics also has a free customizable custom CSS, but that one might need some tweaking to get it just the way you want it.

[edit]I'm suggesting commissions or a DIY because it's super unlikely that new themes will be added to the current layout when there's a new layout in the works.

Oh a new layout set up is coming? I must have forgotten about that. I see where you're going with the DIY / commission idea. I just also feel that layouts made by staff here are a neglected area. I'm not saying a whole lot of focus should be placed here, it's not exactly an important part of the site. Variety though around here is appreciated, that's all. c:

Thank you so much for the link and for your input. <3

Sounds like a great idea to me!

Hi! I know you must be super busy, but I have a suggestion for a new achievement, it would earn users a new hidden layout. It can be considered a Shengui Guo achievement, or for anything else possibly. Cherry Blossoms are just so absolutely gorgeous and I would love to have a Subeta layout dedicated to them. Another users above me mentioned that a new layout coding might be in the works? If that's an issue right now, then I totally understand.

I'm afraid that is correct; we have been working on a major overhaul of the entire site layout, and we are unlikely to release new site themes before that point. We have limited time and resources, and we'd rather not work on features that will get thrown away once the new layout comes out. (After that point though... well, we'll have to wait and see!)

I know several parts of the current layout seem to have been neglected (for instance, sidebar widgets are another area we no longer update for the most part) but it's largely because we are actively working on their replacements behind-the-scenes. We would rather devote our resources to making sure the replacement is as well-done as possible when it is released.

(Finally just a quick note- I appreciate the ping but I'm just a coder here. I think a site theme would actually require more art than coding, and typically is the one you would want to ping about achievements, since she's usually the one who makes them up. Though in this case, since you were asking about the new layout I was able to be helpful I hope! :) )

Thanks! ^_^

Thank you so much for responding! I'll be sure to ping Amber here and hope that she can keep this idea stored away somewhere either in a file of ideas or in the back of her mind for the future haha.

For now I'll attempt to keep this idea going in Hope's that more users support it.

I had a feeling that something like a layout wasn't necessarily important right now given everything else that goes into making this site what it is. It's just an idea that I would love to see eventually happen. ^_^

Thanks for the info regarding the new layout formatting. I wasn't sure if I had forgotten or missed it in one of your announcements/weekly sprint posts.

Hi! I know there may be a new layout format coming soon but I have an idea for a hidden layout achievement. I think it could go perfectly with Shengui Guo or the new Tea House concept that's coming.

It's been so long since I've seen any new layouts, so perhaps you might keep this idea in a file folder or just in the back of your mind for now. My suggestion is in my OP. It's all about Cherry Blossoms, I hope you like it!

I got all excited because I thought you were pinging me to tell me that there was a hidden layout I didn't know about :O :O I would totally be down for this! But I didn't realize they were working on redoing the site layout though :O

Eep! I'm so sorry! I had a feeling that it might be mistaken for an announcement. I wish it were true too! Same here I hadn't realized there was a big change coming. Maybe after the change we could get this!

I decked out my MacBook with Cherry Blossoms. My Google homepage and my desktop background lol!

I’m glad you’re mentioning the layout achievement idea! We really do need some new ones. I’m kinda tired of using the same ones over and over. We need something fresh! I hope what they are working on isn’t too big of a change - I really love the way it works now. I’m so terrible when it comes to change XD

Now I want to deck my laptop out in cherry blossoms too!!! XD

The current special layouts are all more or less slightly broken in their own special ways even compared to the regular themes, so I'd really advise you to hold your horses haha

There should be wayy more support for adding new themes once the semi-mythical layout update hits (would be nice to know what is the eta on that, mind you, I'm not holding my breath for another year or two lmao), so they will likely get on with it when the time comes :D

I'm like a cat when it comes to change. I approach with caution. o.o

Haha semi-mythical, I like the way you think. ; ) Yeah of course I'm not holding my breath about it, but I was at least hoping that Amber might stop and do what I mentioned earlier. Either save the idea away or just at least acknowledge that the idea exists. For now I'll just sit around and see what happens. Wishing for this layout is not the only thing on my mind. I'm keeping busy with other Subeta related things. Thanks for stopping by!
