Forum Theme Updated
-
@King-Noel We all have our preferences, but the goal here is to please the majority, since we can't please all. I also liked the blue one more than this one (maybe because we're used to OSM background)... but the one I would love to have is a dark one... full black background.... Oh well, we just need to adapt to the limitations we've!

Multiple skins isn't an option?

@SpecialOne said in Forum Theme Updated:That's not the idea we wanted to implement, but due to limitations it's the only way possible now. We wanted to keep our original theme and add a couple skins, so users can select the one they like the most. Unfortunately the skins provided by the company that owns the forum software only work with their own original theme. It doesn't work with customized themes :(. This is why we had to chose for a different theme!

@King-Noel Since you quoted me I must answer you Noel .
No, I'm sure you're not the only one that prefered the old blue background and I bet others will share your opinion about this update.
But I gotta say it , Albino was so right mate: It's obvious that the game devvers can never please 100% of the managers with any change or update that is happening on the game site and he also admited that he liked the blue one too, as you surely have read , or even that he'd love a black background. I for once could never choose such a dark enviroment.
We've got loads of users and tonnes of different opinions and that's well understood and respected.

Sam, I think if you take a careful look at Albino's opening post you will find the answer to your question buddy.

Indeed.

@SpecialOne Does Majority vote for this? Anyway full dark background would be great. It's better than this which is pretty bright.

@MenagerBL said in Forum Theme Updated:
And for me the old theme was better.
If ask me I don't see a gray colour here, everything is white, ''too white'' or too bright.
Everything should be much darker.Couldn't agree more. Yeah, I see it as really bright too.
@SUPERNOVA-8 said in Forum Theme Updated:
@SpecialOne Thank you for this update. I couldn't believe my eyes. Finally a bright cheerful background.
Sam is right about the too bright or too white , but I just use my laptops keyboard to lower my screen's light.
I'm more than happy with these changes! :thumbsup_tone2:I use forums while watching some videos in my other half of screen, so lowering brightness would not help. But I guess everyone has their own opinion.

@SpecialOne Why did you choose these forum providers in the knowledge that they would only allow you to select skins if you used THEIR theme? If you didn't know, couldn't you have just wired them an email asking about it before these forums were set up?
-
Way too white
-
In my opinion, grey background is "better" for majority of users than blue background. Actual background color is #eee and yes, maybe if background colour was #ddd or #ccc we can see the white area better yes but... Never 100% of OSM users will be agree in something, think about it and be more optimistic about changes!

Link to OSM profile is also added to every user profile.
Thank you!! This a big help
But this white theme is tooooo bright. My eyes are bleeding after few minutes of watching at screen.
Previous theme was much better then this. It's too bad that there is no possibilty to add a couple skins -
In my opinion It's better like that
-
@Michal_ACM Yeah agreed, I will probably need glasses soon with this being the background. haha Too bright indeed.

Personally, I think that with these themes, dark is good. Having a dark theme looks good, but is also more eco-friendly. Less battery power will be used by your device to create the dark bits, so less energy is needed.

@Octi Bro, I don't think lowering brightness just for forums will be good. I use my PC for other works, so I put my screen on exact brightness and it's harder to keep changing it. Also like I said before, I use forums while watching videos on other half of the screen, so changing brightness wont work.
