Missing actor image placeholders

[arrbee99 1712]

Doubt if many people care about this, but think it would be preferable if missing actors were represented by say a black silhouette on a dark grey background instead of the brightly coloured rectangles - they just stick out so much, especially in tv series guest actors -

 

 

If not, maybe Scenes and Cast & Crew could be swapped.

Black or dark would be great, but I would also like an option to upload a default image of my choice. I was thinking of using a default portrait 'burred' out to help it blend in better with those actors with images present. Give it a more consistent feel.

 

As I mentioned in another thread, it would also be awesome to be able to hide these completely as an alternative implementation (although I appreciate some may not want this if it was the default/enforced).

[arrbee99 1712]

Adding your own default missing actor would be a great option. Not sure about actually hiding them, but again, options are always good

Custom CSS and choose your color

#castContent .defaultCardColor1,
#castContent .defaultCardColor2,
#castContent .defaultCardColor3,
#castContent .defaultCardColor4,
#castContent .defaultCardColor5
 {background-color: black;}

#castContent .defaultCardColor1,
#castContent .defaultCardColor2,
#castContent .defaultCardColor3,
#castContent .defaultCardColor4,
#castContent .defaultCardColor5
 {background-color: black;}

 

Cool. Thanks. That worked well.

Sorry after re reading post, here is the silhouette and of course choose your color

#castContent .cardImageIcon 
{color: black;}

As you can see this code is targeted to only the #castContent section

[arrbee99 1712]

So that one replaces the previous version presumably (its not in addition too) ?

 

The first version gives black and white, the second gives black with coloured background (probably go with the first for now).

All depends on the color you want for background and silhouette.

 

You need both to set the backgroud color to your choosing and set silhouette color to another.

Ah ok, I shall get experimenting then 

[arrbee99 1712]

Sorry to trouble, but with this -

 

#castContent .defaultCardColor1,

#castContent .defaultCardColor2,

#castContent .defaultCardColor3,

#castContent .defaultCardColor4,

#castContent .defaultCardColor5

 {background-color: white;}

 

#castContent .cardImageIcon 

{color: blue;}

 

The background colour bit seemed to stop working when beta 70.1 came out. Any chance of a possible fix please if you have the time ?

Minor changes and not sure why but the silhouette has to be first.

#castContent .cardImageIcon {color: blue;}

#castContent .defaultCardBackground1,
#castContent .defaultCardBackground2,
#castContent .defaultCardBackground3,
#castContent .defaultCardBackground4,
#castContent .defaultCardBackground5
 {background-color: white;}

[arrbee99 1712]

Thanks very much. Works well.

[arrbee99 1712]

 btw, would there happen to be an easy way to make them transparent ?

[arrbee99 1712]

This seemed to work

 

#castContent .cardImageIcon {color: gainsboro;}

 

#castContent .defaultCardBackground1,

#castContent .defaultCardBackground2,

#castContent .defaultCardBackground3,

#castContent .defaultCardBackground4,

#castContent .defaultCardBackground5

 {background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, .5);}

 

 

not sure if I actually like it, but its something...

Sure just use transparent for color.

#castContent .cardImageIcon {color: transparent;}

#castContent .defaultCardBackground1,
#castContent .defaultCardBackground2,
#castContent .defaultCardBackground3,
#castContent .defaultCardBackground4,
#castContent .defaultCardBackground5
 {background-color: transparent;}

Good point 

[suprasaiyan123 3]

Thanks for the awesome customization. Any way to make them slightly smaller? maybe half the size they are currently, just so they don't look so gaudy

4.3.1.0

#castContent div.personCard {
    width: 5.5%;
}

4.4.0.x

div.peopleSection div.personCard {
    width: 5.5%;
}

All the random colored images also annoy me a little bit. And I'm meaning all random colored images not just the cast photos. This CSS trick does the charm for web so I guess I'm content for now but I would love to see a more neutral image used as default in all apps soon.
