ZombieHunter Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I really like the design but can we change the text from Grey to White? Or something with higher contrast. It really difficult to read in higher resolution screens due to lack of contrast between the two colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikiDikiRUS Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I don't really like the design. IMHO It looks very futuristic which is not my type. I really liked the old one. Simple and cozy. Anyway, I agree with you about the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLostBigBoss Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Either make the black on the text field lighter and more of a dark grey, or make the text more lighter. As it stands I'm straining to read text due to the lack of contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_Cats Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I really like the new look, other than the need to make the base text white or something to better contrast. I think forums look 10x better when they actually have their own unique theme, even it's only a little thing here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sick Boy Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 "Night Mode" forums look okay, but the grey text is definitely needing remedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirrus Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 @nasKo You can change back themes by selecting "Default IPS" from the theme list at the bottom. Haze is broken though, didn't survive upgrade, and dark theme is nice change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikecaterpillars Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I'm also not seeing the option. Is it an option that only shows up for mods/devs? xXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laird Thaddeus Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 the overall new look is nice. i dont mind the text. my issue is the little dot/star next to topics that show if you have read them or if there is new content it blends into the background color and is hard to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DresdenBBQ Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Honestly the color seems good where it's at. Any brighter and the it threatens to scooch into "Lord Jesus please spare my eyes!" territory. The change in style is, well, it's sure different than what it used to be. The old style has me nostalgic just cause, I have so many memories over the years of hoppin' on the forums during my free period at school and browsing the topics and always lookin' forward to the Mondoids. It'll take time to get acclimated to the new look and I'm sure it looks slick and professional to folks who are layin' their eyes on the forums for the first time.

Also made them a bit brighter, does that work better for you? That's much better. It's definitely more readable. I think one of the Thursdoid posts looked very dark before, but I can read it perfectly again now. 👍🏻 xXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLostBigBoss Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Text is better, but I think the color pattern should be inverted. The background should be darker, more black and each persons post should be the lighter grey. As it stands now, the background of the posts are lighter grey, the posts are dark/black and the white text, while more readable, is a bit jarring. The post blocks also look kinda "meh" and don't have clear distinctions between the text zone, where the bottom section starts or other section distinctions, it's just too dark to see the small thin bars that are there to show the section. That's not a big deal for usage, but in terms of "looks", it looks like it's not formatted and like every post is just a block. TLDR: Background should be darker than the posts foreground. Pattern overlay should go from Dark -> Light. Overall dark theme is too black and should use more shades of "grey", especially for poster text blocks.

Don't think I'm going to modify the theme that much. That's going into "buying a different theme" territory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikecaterpillars Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Is there any way of changing the colour of some of the moderators names, or is do they pick the colours themselves? The blue is quite hard to read on the dark background and could do with brightening up a touch. xXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
