New theme - Report bugs, discuss

Post by Peter »

So I have replaced the default theme with "GrayStyle". Our fellow (and hard working) administrator Ironcross found it.
First I wanted to place the "modern logo" as the new header, but then we came to the conclusion we should use the official one.

But again, I can change up things anytime.
(Maybe I'll try to work out some "custom schemes" so you will be able to choose a custom variation.)


For the rest: Please report bugs if you find any. And discuss the theme of course.

As a dark theme it's better for the eyes and fits very well with 8 Ultimo theme for Firefox, Super Start (black theme) add-on for Firefox and Adobulated visual style for Windows 7.

(We still miss the icon, on it.)

Okay Chrome got some quirks when it comes to favicon.
Is it working now?
(Uploaded the favicon.ico to theme root folder, to the public_html root, and edited the index.template.php.)

shiki the gray background + the gray letters makes it sometimes hard to read. As im not the only one s4nder said someting about it also. Maybe white letters to make it a bit more clear :)? Not sure how that would look like though.

Edit: What's with the new forum style? It gets harder to read with every update. Now half the posts are hardly distinguishable from the background.

Yeah for some reason every other post gets grey text (on darker grey back), would be better if it was white on grey for each post.

Blame Ironcross.

I'll fix the problem. Remove this alternating color.
Do you want me to switch to the previous theme meanwhile?
(I can fix things in a week or so. Don't have too much time nowadays.)

Update: It will be fixed on this week. I'll try pour in the smaller fixes faster than that.

Restored the "new-one" (which was set for us for a long while) until I fix the dark one.
No worries, I'll be on it.
(Ironcross, you can simply set your theme to the new one.)

I know I know. I could just make them selectable.
But I don't want to ... until I test them out.

Of course, i selected the dark theme again for myself :)
Btw on my display there is no problem with a bit grey font. It can be read as well as the white one.
