New Assets
Started working on more custom assets and icons for the site.
I want to have two themes that you can change with a button: a dark "cyber" one and a bright pastel Windows/early CGI one. I started with the Windows one. I spent hours making two sets of the icons. However, I couldn't get the chrome material to look right with the cloud reflections that were in my previous logo, and felt it would be too limiting if I decided I wanted to change the background later anyway, so I just made the plain chrome ones for now and am going to work on the dark theme first, since that should be easier.
It took me even longer to figure out how to make them dim and slide up to show the label on hover, while not dimming the label itself, but also maintaining the global dimming effect for the rest of the links. And that effect doesn't even work on phones. I at least fixed their scaling responsiveness on phones; they took up half my phone screen when I first thought I had finally finished them.
My wife and I also adopted a new kitten today. It's another stray. She has the same fur patterns and ear tuffs as Westley, but is orange, and has Princess Buttercup's (PB, my other cat) face shape. The vet thinks she is 3 months old. We're still deciding on a name. Thankfully, no ear mites this time. It took a few weeks to eliminate them with Westley. Poor boy's ears were raw from the scratching. We're excited to have a new addition to our family.
