I totally get the reasoning behind the color scheme and I like that unlike the other dark theme this one doesn’t have a light theme menu at the bottom of the page but personally I like the other dark theme more no offense. I have three reasons as to why.
I like that the other one is darker aside from the bottom of every page.
When I load into a thread I have to wait for green fade out of the head post to fade away before I can read it.
I couldn’t tell that the emoji with sunglasses was a reaction to the post. I thought it was an emoji you wrote at the end of your post.
I hope that wasn’t harsh. I sometimes give desgin feedback for work so just wanted to be honest.
No worries, it’s on git for a feedback and I don’t have any personal feelings invested in this. The old dark theme is still available, we can probably tweak that too.
The main tweaks it needs is the highlight colors and the bottom.
I cant really think of anything besides that.
(Yes its missing some of the flashier things like the topbar … guess its ‘minimal-dark’)
Very nice, although I still apply my edits from this topic: Dark Forum theme edits which mostly makes it look a tad better, except for the bottom, because the background on the buildings is not transparant, although the image file is png… So if I change the background color, it goes from black to grey in the footer.
@Chrysostomus If I have sugestions, should I post them on Gitlab (then I have to make an account), or should I post them here?
Edit: Yeah I think I stick with that one for now and tweak it a bit more. Would be nice if it is kept as an option.
i agree - the “old” darktheme with green highlights and a corrected bottom bar would be perfect
The new darktheme is not really bad and visually appealing, but its too “flashy” for my taste, i like it more “out of my way”
Gitlab would be the best. You can also make the edits directly there with a Merge request. If you know css it is very simple to edit. Even I can do it and I don’t actually know css.
Maybe the flash fade out should begin with a darker pallette to be softer to the eyes. Less turquoise (which contains more blue), more green like in the banner.
The chosen font is harder to read than the one from the normal dark theme and some font colors are too dark against the (relativly bright) backround:
Post headings and links for example, even more so when they appear in quoted posts:
