Post by: ChadTower on July 31, 2012, 01:27:59 pm: I miss the "new" icon that would appear next to sections with new content. Now it's just on child subforums.

Post by: drventure on July 31, 2012, 03:55:08 pm: Does SMF support user selectable themes?

I've seen a few forum packages that have several themes available under the user configuration. usually a light theme and a dark theme at a minimum.

Post by: 404 on August 02, 2012, 03:57:39 pm: the list of forums sections just under the header is also breaking XHTML compliance. That can be easily re-written more modern techniques.

I've gotten used to it, but yes.... this^^

I think it might be because the font suddenly got smaller. But then again, it was pretty huge before.

Post by: Nephasth on August 15, 2012, 10:15:32 pm: Just when I was getting used to the new one... :soapbox:

Back in black it is, whatever you changed it to was hideous...
Title: Re: Do you like the current theme?
Post by: saint on August 15, 2012, 10:25:48 pm: Heh, what I changed it to is what it was for years... :) However, if you liked the previous orangey theme, you can choose "curve" and that's what it'll be.

Hell yeah. Plus it screwed up the response box at the bottom of the page....

But, as long as we have a selection, I'm good. Love me curves.....

Title: Re: Do you like the current theme?
Post by: stripe4 on August 16, 2012, 07:48:36 am: Well, I find the current default theme too 90iesish for my taste and the default SMF theme isn't perfect either. I'm picky, I know. So being a great guy that I am ;D I went to SMF themes site and found this modern and clean theme:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2631 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2631)

Is there any chance of adding this theme to the selectable themes list?

Will take a look :) I need to minimize the # of themes because each one requires maintenance whenever we do updates/mods, aren't always compatible with updates/mods, etc... However, testing it on the test site now.

not only does it look like ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, it seems less functional. Congrats on taking the forums back to 1997! :cheers:
Title: Re: Do you like the current theme?
Post by: saint on August 16, 2012, 02:46:15 pm: What's missing function wise? Anyway, I knew this theme wasn't everyone's cup of tea, so I left the Curve (default SMF) theme available and also added the back n black theme.

Thanks, liking the black.
Title: Re: Do you like the current theme?
Post by: drventure on August 16, 2012, 09:17:12 pm: I like the yaBB theme.

Not a big fan of the black theme, just because there's no differentiation between posts, so they all run together.
