New Themes

Do yall like thelight gold link/accent color, or would the light blue from before be better?

The new use of black is rather jarring compared to the old but I'll probably get used to it. Maybe making a bit lighter would help. Also, my avatar lost its transparency which makes me sad.

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but when looking at the todays posts search results using the new theme, the links to specific pages of the thread are spread really far apart, looks very odd. I do like the colours though.

In quick reply, the cursor is white, matching the text and providing good contrast against the dark green background, but in the full New Reply interface, the cursor is black.

It's nice to see nitpicks addressed near-instantly--I'm assuming the interface makes small changes like that easy? Though there is one thing I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet: where is the Quote of the Moment going to go?

The style for unread posts in a subforum is weird: it has a white dot for no new posts and a dark dot for unread posts, and it feels like they should be the opposite (especially since the main forums still use the light=unread, dark=read--maybe you just accidentally swapped a couple files?).  It also took a bit to find the "Mark Forum as Read" icon now that it's a tiny checkmark rather than words, but that's something minor (though a tweak to make those buttons like the reply/quote/etc buttons on posts might be better, to increase the amount of horizontal space for the button).

Ditto what CH said.  The dot color indicating a subforum has new posts is especially odd, as the opposite color scheme is used to denote individual threads with new content.

Dot color is fixed. Will cause problems for white theme, but will cover that when I get there.

Fixed

Yeah, the theme I'm building this off of is very open for modification, I'm basically just making one custom css file and making a few html template changes. 

uh QotM........ I hadn't thought of that.   I'll get back to you on that.

I'd like to change those to some of the dark grey instead of black, it'd be smoother and match old style better. That's not a quick change though, lots of elements, maybe on my lunch break. 

Removed the background/border for avatars so transparency should be restored now.

Fixed, downsized the padding there.

So that little heart for "hot thread" is aggressively twee. If you're going to for for hot thread marking (Dr. Tran meme barely avoided), it is imperative you use a tamale.

I'm using the white theme (always have). Not sure if you're giving any attention to that yet. It's got a problem with the colors of the reply box. The quick reply has white text on black background, which is functional, but inverted from the rest of the page. The full reply has black text on black background, which obviously doesn't work.

The culprit is these rules on textarea in global.css, which shouldn't really be global, or at least need to be overridden by the white theme:

background: #181818;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1000px #181818 inset !important;
color: #FFFFFF;

Somehow the box-shadow covers the entire area on the full-reply page. Goes away if I disable that rule in browser developer tools.

Heart is thread you've posted in, to be correct. I'm up for changing the icons, just go to this page and find icons for both 'thread I've posted in with unread posts' and 'thread I've posted in with all posts read'; preferably, it's the same icon for both, just one filled in and one hollow.

So you're the one using it.   That theme is hidden to all non-admins for now because it's still very much a work in progress and not ready. 

Thanks for identifying those rules by the way, those are what I've been hunting for for the changes I've been making. If you inspect some of the white elements you'll see rules in a color_white.css file that I've been working in. 

Hopefully I'll be able to build out the white theme enough to make it public in the next week or less.
