I suspect the theme on the news CMS is remembered via cookies, where as the forum colour theme seems to be associated with your account when logged in.

 

In a private browsing window the news CMS defaults to the dark theme even when I log in, when logged in it does seem to randomly revert, where as the forum seems to remember my choice.

 

Personally I dislike the dark theme as the default, I'm probably in the minority however I can't read the site with that theme.

 

The "but its not" in the image below is how the default homepage looks to me:

The Darkside theme is now default when not logged in.

 

I prefer the light theme too that the site has used for around 15 odd years as default since I joined.

That's what I hated, though..

 

Going from a dark themed forum to a white CMS isn't really appealing..

I am logged in though and it keeps switching back

Same here

 

Edit: I just noticed it only switches back to the dark theme when I use the back button and not the Neowin logo at top of page. That was how I did that yesterday also (hitting the back button)

I confirm that your description is spot on. While I normally have everything set to darkside, I switched in order to test this and duplicated your experience. If I didn't want darkside as my theme, I'd find it a bit annoying.

I'm seeing the header covering up the category links.  Looks like the sticky header is stuck.  😛

 

The problem is only in Chrome 92.  It works fine in Edge and Firefox.

 

EDIT:  Problem appears when logged in on any browser.  Looks like the added Darkside icon is pushing the Twitter and Facebook icons down to another line.

Confirmed, I have reported this to the devs.

Sorry guys, the main news site themes were being worked on today, it should now remember which theme you prefer (light or dark) and it is now in the header:

Still switches back to dark theme when using the back button.

 

Edit: Oops! Posted that to quickly. Only switched back to dark theme the 1 time when going back to front page from this story. Just tried using back button from a couple other stories on front page and it didn't revert back to dark theme.

but why is the main page still switching back to dark? clearing all browser data doesn't seem to help

the main page theme relies on a cookie, if you block cookies then the preference isn't saved.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.

    • Anyone Here With Turbo Pascal Experience?

      By Almohandis · Posted

      Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
