Upcoming new site styling

[furf]

I've been wanting to do some tweaking to the style of this place for a bit, so I handcrafted some new icons that have a nice splash of classic deviantArt to them. I'll be making other changes behind the scenes to other parts of the sites styling to make it a bit more classic and "campy" in a way.

For now here's some early previews!

Key differences are currently just to the icons on various places of the UI, but I intend to further optimize the style to make it both more consistent and run smoother on older hardware.

I've redone the panels, buttons, and textboxes to be slice-scaled images instead of something your browser has to manually create with gradients and duct tape. Allows me a lot more fine control over the style of things, runs faster since it's just images, and fits the bill with the deviantArt-styled icons.

The finalized style will hopefully be added by the end of the month. I may look into having the ability to cycle between background images similar to how Inkbunny allows, as well as color swaps.

Another quick update, testing out different applicable themes using this new method is actually really easy once you setup the variables and make some new images for the panels. Here's an obligatory garish Halloween theme
