ozgeek Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Whoa!!! What a lovely and simple theme. It actually reminds me of the older Shift theme (it loads fast and looks very simple. So simple that dialup users wouldn't have problems viewing it (I'm actually on ADSL2+. I'm just saying that it loads so fast :) ). Well done. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted July 31, 2011 Reporter Share Posted July 31, 2011 A forum theme will come with IPB 3.2 theres no point in investing time, cost and effort for this version which will be going shortly! Good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted July 31, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted July 31, 2011 I liked Pegasus 1.0 as well. Alas, good to see staff reacting to user requests so quickly. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted July 31, 2011 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2011 Did that - still nowt happening. Got me knackered and I have to crash for an early start tomorrow so I'll leave it for now. Neowin now uses a "cookieless" domain to load content such as images and CSS from static.neow.in and in *some* cases this change hasn't taken too quickly, for example in Firefox 6 a lot of the content was missing for me.To fix it I flushed my DNS (which forces an update) by opening a command prompt (as administrator on Windows) and typing ipconfig /flushdns and then hitting enter. So if you are seeing this problem, you can give that a try and it should fix it. Posted yesterday :p Might help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLegendOfMart Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Oh shi-, whats Elessar going to whinge about now youve given him the option to go back to the old theme. Tile 8 is purty, love the watercolor-ishness of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted July 31, 2011 Reporter Share Posted July 31, 2011 A quick question here, why do the fonts Cabin, Lato and PT Sans appear the same when selected? Plus they render awfully on Windows without DirectWrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanctified Veteran Posted July 31, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2011 Two suggestions: Can you move the neowin logo into the sections bar next to the sections? and Can we change the capital N into n? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAZMINATOR Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I was hoping that Legacy would be matched to 'Midnight' color... but it isn't.. I like Midnight theme much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperAFK Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Can you fix the painfully choppy scrolling in Google Chrome? this is the only site i have the scrolling issue with and it was fine on Atlas.

Chrome is not alone with that. I was testing it with firefox. It's a little better, but also... ugly. It seems the IE9 has no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaAddict Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Nice improvements...but can you consider reducing the size of the article thumbnail images? They are just way too big and distracting to the point it's a struggle just to focus on the actual text. Also, try to increase the contrast (e.g. use lighter color fonts) for the darkside theme. Kudos to the extended width featured too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my computer is absolute alright for internet and more. So I can exclude a hardware problem. Update: Now I was also testing it with Opera. No Problems with Opera. Just with Chrome and Firefox. In Chrome is really awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Ahhh, finally, many great improvements? so far. Legacy Theme is definitely the best. IMO it should be the default theme. It fixes the capital N on the logo, the lack of contrast, the square-ish corners, and gives us the usual color scheme that we?re now used to. Here?s a few suggestions in order of importance : Inspire yourself from the old comments section from Atlas, it was so much better. It is my biggest "turn-off" on the new theme at the moment. Definitely remove the "About this author" square by default. Hovering on his name or clicking on it makes more sense Switch the thumbnail for each article on the right Make the comments button next to each article a little darker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
