Is there a compact skin option?


Recommended Posts

Is there any way to get the forum displaying with a more compact skin? Since the upgrade there is so much wasted white space everywhere. Also a the sidebar with user details in is huge, would like a way to make that smaller.

thanks

If you're stuck in a quote box, press enter twice or roll under it with your mouse till you see a red line and click on that. The giant first post is because these forums and sub forums are in question mode. Pretty useful if you ask me.

This and it's even worse on the forums I run :( lots of irrate users.... too much scrolling

This is Neowin's Windows 8 release - everything is huge and optimized for tocuh. Time to fire Neobond!

Neobond didn't make this forum...   Invision Power Services made this forum...  Neobond's devs modified/tweaked the forum as the way they like.

There will be themes to be added in, I hope. For example, dark theme, mobile, etc.

This forum looks crap on phones because there are many overlapping texts all over place.

Just a quick note to say that I've enjoyed helping the many users on the forum here.  However until this sham of an upgrade is sorted I won't be using the forums any more :(  The timing was awful (Windows 10 release day?!), it's usability is absolutely terrible and it's absolutely chock-full of bugs.  I would honestly accept the slower performance of the older version over this.

no offense but this has probably been one of the smoothest upgrades i've seen from Neowin

 

you've been here since 2010 you should know of some of the catastrophic previous updates Neowin has had

It's doing that on mobile ie as well, and I can't turn that stupid mini spy off .

I wouldn't call 4 days downtime "smooth" personally...

It's not bad on a 1440p monitor, but the space could be tightened up.

"Vote this answer up" for example could be streamlined into an arrow on the actual post or something. Doesn't need a big sidebar.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
