ANNOUNCEMENT Welcome to the new forums!

It's very jarring for my eyes hopping back and forth between the dark ED forum and light off topic forum.
Didn't notice until using the forums for a couple hours.
 
This is a limit of the Xenforo forum software, so this isn't something we're able to change I'm afraid.

You mean XenForo has a style changer with a selection popup menu listing all the themes available but in fact that's just a Potemkin button for presales purposes or whatever? Then, XenForo is broken!

I like the Mobile view in particular btw. For the first time, you can read the fora on a mobile phone without pinch-zooming all the time (forget about the old mobile theme). And once you tone down the alert frequency and disable the push notifications, it's much better than the old version, in most aspects at least. Good job (y)

O7,

I agree, in general the change is a big improvement. However, if this white on black scheme can't be fixed, my days are numbered on here and maybe that's a good thing...
 
I still don't know how I logged in to the forums using the old forum's password that's different from my Frontier account but alas it worked.

It's getting used to this white on black but I don't have any problems with it.
It looks pretty slick though and works perfect on my tablet.
 
Worse than the dark theme is the way it switches between themes based on the subforum the post is in. If it flashed any more it'd need <blink> tags.
 
Hey CMDR, there isn't a way to change the game specific themes I'm afraid. You may be able to use something like the Stylish browser add-on to change things if you'd like. I'll feed it back all the same! :)

Hey Paige,

unfortunately, Stylish is only for the brave or careless, it seems. It has a history of sorts.


But there might be alternatives.

Ouf ! Finally in !

I was starting to lack of oxygen here !
Welcome back everyone !

Really liking the new arrangement ! Tho I would have loved to have more options for the wallpaper

If you can put up with the dark theme the majority of the time you can override the theme used for non-ED areas in your settings. Unfortunately if you open a link to a thread from an email it disregards this and uses the default Frontier theme anyway (hopefully this is something that will be addressed in due course).
 
Well done FD; you've managed to turn off yet another forum user by forcing white-text on a dark background.

A quick scan through posts (I simply can't stand more than a quick scan as it is [genuinely] hurting my eyes to read in this theme]) indicates I'm just one of many.

Have you never heard of USER Acceptance Testing.

And before you (or a well-meaning Cmdr) suggest I install an add-in/extension, please don't be so ridiculous, I shouldn't have to install additional software to make up for such an obvious issue.
