    Hi Ethan,

    I love the plugin so far. There are a few things I think could help make it an even better one.

    1) Ability to set the Font Color.
    Since we can set the Custom Tile Color, it would be great to also be able to set the font color. My reasoning is that not everyone will choose a a dark color for the tile background which makes the default white font an issue.

    2) Ability to set transparency on the Tile.
    This is particularly useful when combined with the “Use Featured Images For Tiles” feature as one could show the overlay text box with some transparency to still reveal the image.

    With an implementation like “ul#post-tiles li a {background-color: rgba(200, 200, 200, 0.5);}” you could also start considering having the featured images together with the text but with the jQuery features turned off (leaving the text visibly in place of course). I believe this would resolve some issues that people have been talking about here before.

    3) Ability to say whether tiles should be left, center, or right alined within the post-tiles-container.

    4) Ability to influence the “Make Post Tiles Responsive” feature.
    For instance, it would be nice if you could define some settings like big screen has icons size X, medium sceen has size Y etc. Then one can let the rest sort itself out. At the moment it’s quite odd that on a big screen the icons would be smaller than on a smaller screen for instance.

    5) Ability to add Custom CSS rules.
    This would help tweak some of the tiles.

    Hopefully this feeback is helpful.

    Best Regards,
    Alfred.

    These are great ideas.

    I think many of these requests could be achieved by adding CSS with !important to override the plugin css. Though doing it through the admin would be far easier especially for those that aren’t familiar with CSS.

    Recently I had the idea to add transparency and skins to Post Tiles and as I developed Post Tiles 2.0 it got crazy and turned into a very different plugin – Post Slides (www.postslides.com). I’ll probably go back and rework Post Tiles now that I’ve worked out some of the skin bugs.

    Hi Ethan,

    Check my fork on GitHub.
    At this stage this implements the first request: Ability to set the Font Color.

    Implemented my own second request as well… ??
    Set Tile Transparency is now in GitHub on my NewFeatures branch.

    Awesome thank you. I reviewed the PR and just modified the default text color to white and opacity to 100 since that is the closest to what they already had. But other than that everything looks great and I really appreciate your taking the time to contribute.

    You’re most welcome. ??

    I’ve implemented one last feature. It’s a bit of an odd one and may warrant a little polishing up of the admin GUI side.

    Enjoy.

    PS: Sorry about making the commit so hard to understand, I replaced all the indents by mistake.
