New XKit

In case you were unaware, The XKit Guy left Tumblr and that’s why the extension that has made tumbr more accessible to many of us has gone un-updated.

In his absence, a new fork of XKit has popped up ( Chrome || Firefox || their blog )

What does this mean? It’s a new version of XKit, using the same base code as the original XKit (meaning all of your favorite extensions are still there and are actually being updated (I believe XCloud is the only one that’s going un-updated because of the amount of work that it’ll take to replicate the XCloud server.).

I’ve made the switch to New XKit on my blogs and so far I’ve not had any problems. They’ve updated any glitches and have also made several tweaks to address recent tumblr tweaks (like the randomly bolded url and the reblogging issue). In other words, this is an actively updating version of XKit.

They encourage questions, comments, concerns, additional help with the coding as well as submissions of what your problems are so they can accurately adjust the code of the extensions to ensure they work properly.

If you’ve enjoyed having XKit, give this new fork a chance (and maybe pop over to new-xkit-extension and tell the amazing people who’ve taken up the challenge of making up for the shortcomings of tumblr that they’re doing a great job).

#firefox users retain all their old xkit settings

So if I update to the new one, it’ll keep all my blocked posts from postblock?

Yes, I got this last week and it’s wonderful to have a functioning XKit again.

Thank you.

For those who would ever need it. -C

reblogging here because i can see this being relevant to anyone who’s ever tried to get out of an abusive relationship

Reblogging because that last comment made me reread the whole thing in a new light and realize this could be vital information. So, putting it out there for everyone, and hoping no one ever really needs it.

uuu thank u anon!! i hope this can explain it :^o

i use overlay all the time to make colours more vibrant and to make areas warmer or cooler. good for colourful ambient light (like glowy magic stuff).

multiply is really good for establishing a light source very quickly!! play around with the hue to get shadows with cool colours. for more detailed work you can use two or three tones on a multiply layer for more dimension.

screen is something i only recently started using regularly! it’s really great if you have a very bright light source. you can also use screen and paint on the edges of a backlit character to make the lighting more intense. a good thing to know about screen layers is that the darker the colour you use, the less it lightens; using black on a screen layer leaves no effect on the colours underneath (the opposite is true for multiply layers!).

and you can also use these layers for an entire painting instead of just on a character! i don’t have a visual example on hand, but stuff like making the area around a warm light source warmer, making a light source brighter and more vibrant, or using gradients set on multiply or screen are just some of the ways you can apply these to a full painting 🙂
