did some tweaks to the about page - truncated the games list and replaced them with general interests and youtube channels i like. i also finally got around to using details tags instead of some janky CSS solution that made no sense.

just got home, going to work on a very brief update reworking my interests page as I'm not content with it

I ended up putting together a really cool effect :) it's a very simple update but I like it a lot

current goal now: theme switcher. intent is to have a default pink theme as well as the autumn goth one and the upcoming festive pack, plus two simplified packs

added freezeframe.js to all the css packs. also need to give myself a reminder to make some larger images for some of the packs because wowza I forgot how small the ace of hearts graphics are

ok so for the iframes: I'm going to have a separate freezeframe session specifically for GIFs under iframes. there'll be stickied on/off buttons. not ideal (i'd prefer to just have the main toggles work...) but on account for my frustration and lack of desire to spend four weeks trying to teach myself javascript that's what I'm settling with for now lmao

ps. the holiday theme is complete and assets are ready to go, just need to test it a little more. I want to add the theme changer (+ add some very basic non-stylized themes) to the site before I roll it out though. + make freezeframe.js work in iframes for the css packs

in that same vein i'd also like to add a darkmode to the style savvy shrine as it is. very very bright :( won't add anything else to it lest i find myself in a rabbit hole again but i do desire a darkmode for it. maybe have an option that uses browser/system settings

fixed freezeframe.js on the about page - for nested pages use visibility: hidden with a width and height of zero instead of display: none. however this is a very hack-y way of executing this. it also reminds me that the navigation in the about page on keyboard still sucks total ass

a discovery: visibility: hidden and visibility: visible allow freezeframe.js to work. BUT it still takes up space on your webpage. still, interesting

this is vs. display: none - in this case the data isn't loaded unless the targetted element is set to display:block or something)

okkkk doing this and setting width/height to zero for hidden and auto for visible SEEMS to be my jank workaround, though now there is the issue of the static gifs just. not appearing for the buttons. it works for girlfield tho

funny thing is, when you hit play - it does actually play the gif animations! but when you hit stop the buttons just. disappear. i think it may have something to do with the canvas

more or less I think I found the issue I'm having: when you have an element that uses the freezeframe class, and this element is hidden on load, if you attempt to show that element, it doesn't show the element in full. it just shows the loading image

the easiest way of resolving this issue is by simply reloading the page on click. issue is... with the about page, everything is on that page and is just hidden/shown based on the section you click on.

what this means is that when I click on an element that has the javascript to execute location.reload() on click, it doesn't load that section and reload the page. it just reloads the page entirely..

there is also having javascript that runs new Freezeframe() on clicking an element. this DOES load the paused gif frame behind the loading animation, but never loads the actual gif
