Posted February 1, 20232 yr In case you haven't followed the upgrade/technical issue threads, we have a few 'skin' or 'theme' options for you to play around with. There's a 'generic' theme, which is just plain and... well, generic. There's the usual theme that everyone's used to, then the new 'default' theme which is almost identical to the usual one, with maybe only one difference (the cityscape image used in the board banner area), and the new 'Dark Mode' theme. That's for those that don't want a bright theme, the dark one may be easier on you eyes. Check it out and if you see any issues of things not working right, or not displaying right, please post here and tag me so I can know about it. To get to the themes, scroll to the very bottom of the board, there's a 'Theme' dropdown.
February 2, 20232 yr I like that you can toggle dark mode, but I don't like that the topics are a lavender color when it's in light mode, if that makes sense

February 2, 20232 yr It's brighter on Chrome mobile and desktop. On Desktop it changes the background from Green to white, so it actually makes it brighter

February 3, 20232 yr @VaBeach_Eagle I may stick with dark mode forever. Very cool! Love the look. I have a few suggestions right off the bat. 1. At the bottom of the page, the link tree or whatever you want to call it. "Home > Off Topic> What's Up" are all good. But look at the thread title. The shade of gray there is too dark. Very hard to see. Maybe lighten it up to a lighter shade of gray? 2. The same goes for the arrow in a quote box to jump you back to the quoted post. It does lighten up if you put your mouse there, but hard to see initially. 3. Lastly, the Like button has some white spots around the border. Doesnt look quite right.
February 3, 20232 yr One thing is really an eyesore imo, Some people who have their sigs highlighted... Dont like all of that white at the bottom of their posts. For example:

It's just the font when it's not dark is lighter, like lavenderish. Dark theme Normal theme It's not a big deal, but I like the green font better. I do like this theme though because I can swap it to dark at night. Also, when it is dark it looks good

I still have some suggestions on that though. The like button is not fixed. And the same issue is present around emojis that people post.

Those are image issues, not really skin issues. I can take care of those when I have a chance. Take a look at the overall skin and see if there's any big things that we'd need Mark to code for us.

I looked a little more closely, side by side and I do see the difference, and will have that fixed. I think the skin is nearly 100%. Spoiler
