Such things are subjective, but PLEASE LORD, PLEASE. This is temporary, yes? Can we have a more neutral theme? Black or white or grey... maybe with some orange text or whatever, but not a cream orange everywhere.

aggiejy · « **Reply #1 on:** Wed, 18 July 2012, 22:30:37 »

What about starting with one of these and modify accordingly?

Micolo looks like a good one to start.

I'd be happy to pick up the tab and perform basic modifications.

You can change it. There are a few options available. They're also all temporary afaik.

we're very accepting of new themes but have our hands full at the moment

rknize · « **Reply #4 on:** Wed, 18 July 2012, 23:53:26 »

I just uploaded a previous incarnation of the default theme, Thoriated. It's much more tame than Oranje (which looked fine to me though blood-shot eyes at 3am this morning).

rknize · « **Reply #5 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 00:09:02 »

Everyone should be on the new theme now. The simple (white) theme is still there, as well as Oranje if you love it as much as I apparently did.

This new default is much better for a default (for now at least). Thanks!!!

I like the "Oranje" theme, but the salmon color is not exactly what I was hoping for. It's still my theme of choice though

Is someone playing with the themes? Everything seems to be smaller and smaller suddenly

alaricljs · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 10:49:44 »

Don't you have a knob on your monitor for that?

I was going to say the same thing! Everything just got tiny!

Hahaha yeah, I refreshed and all the text changed. Well it is better, and I appreciate the continued work.

mm87 · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 11:17:06 »

Back to normal

rknize · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 11:18:34 »

It was all a figment of your imagination.

Striketh · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 15:50:01 »

Personally, I think we should have two main GH themes once things get up to that point - one dark and one white. This way people can change between them according to their preference.

I'd go with a dark theme for the default again, myself. I find white themes to be quite hard on my eyes.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 16:03:54 »

I'm content with what we have right now, but would love to see a "Classic" GH theme developed.

longweight · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 16:14:24 »

I love the new theme! I hated how dark the old one was, made it hard to read!

mkawa · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 19 July 2012, 16:32:30 »

now that we have a brief respite i'm going to work on refining this theme to form a unified UI for the forum. we'll then offer that UI with a number of different color and banner options

That's great. Give me a black and orange version and I'm happy as a lark.

Pining for the look and feel of the Geekhack of old? Give the "Nostalgic" theme a try!

WRXChris · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 00:35:46 »

awesome! Looks great!

csm725 · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 06:01:59 »

Where do we change theme?

rknize · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 09:47:57 »

Profile->Account Settings->Modify Profile->Look and Layout.

reaper · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 10:18:32 »

New theme looks great! Thank you Russ.

agor · « **Reply #25 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 10:30:31 »

Is it possible to see in which topics new posts are? And a link to the last unread post? Or am I unable to see it?

Really liking the GH Lite theme

rknize · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 10:39:50 »

If you click on the "New" icon, it will take you to the latest unread post.

Oh, it's on the far far right. I see it now (so far away on my 27 incher).
How can I determine that there is a new post? Left Icons do not seem to change?

e: Got it now, there's a "New" Text behind the topic name

Bim Gao · « **Reply #28 on:** Fri, 20 July 2012, 12:47:52 »

I love this colors theme. Should make a keyset with these color ( Cream/Orange) ?

Simple is good. HEadings have a white highlight shadow though.
