XF 3 General Information & Discussion

[Aivaras]

It supports it now. But claims of “Major browsers supporting it for years” are definitely not entirely the case.

This is a minor thing, not worth a quibble.

I haven’t seen many uses of AVIF in the wild to be honest, but when I have seen them, I have more trouble with them on iOS then I ever do on desktop.

With a modest market share of 0.4 %, the format is still new. It is getting favorable attention; CDNs like Cloudflare are adopting it. I’ve converted a few WordPress sites to AVIF, and they run smoothly on both Windows desktops and iOS devices. We need to give the format a chance before it can take off. Otherwise, it’s a vicious circle.

AVIF is just now getting to the point with browser support that it would be reasonable to use it without fallback formats. Would be cool to see it in XF3 as an option. Pretty trivial to add, so...

Considering the style is the major feature in XF3, is it safe to say it's been designed using a full design system in something like Figma? And therefore this file may be available to us once it's released to more easily design 3rd party styles before committing to changing colours in the ACP?

It would be very nice to have a file like this to see the impact of what variables are used where and on what pages.

We don’t use Figma

 

[RobinHood]

Ahh okay, fair enough. So no design files then? Just all within the code?

 

[Chris D]

Pretty much.

Have you had a look at something like @Russ site https://www.pixelexit.com yet because they take the existing site code and work into something special that fits the current code into it.
Because it might make it easier with the new editor to fit around the existing code.
Some of us already use his site to get styles to make it look cool.

Are we getting closer to showing a little something something?

When will we see XenForo 3? We've been waiting for a long time.
