the problem i have with the new themes.. is the link colours.

In the default theme, the text is black, but links are blue (Y)

im using the midnight theme.. so the text is black, so are the links! i can't tell what is a link and what isn't unless i hover over. it's annoying if someone adds secret links inside a post.

an "I" shape over words means it is text ... and hand pointing means it is a link *LOL*... sorry couldn't resist.

Midnight!!!! (And silver sometime)

Btw, isn't a way to get a Graphite theme to go with the front page?

We don't have forum themes to match the front page yet. To this point we were still working on getting the old 3.9 Swift forum themes working with IPB 2.2

We had to redo them from scratch because with every upgrade they were getting more and more inefficient.

And when I say "we", I mean people other than me.

Actually, swift works all over the site, the main page themes work now (aswell as their color schemes) just as they do on the forum.

Shift on the other hand, will most likely not see the light of day on IPB2.2. We're working on something else.

You guys have it wrong, lite isn't supposed to be a 56k friendly version. Its more like a flat style. Something that looks more minimal. And do make sure you clear your cache.

Reason lite won't be that much smaller in file size (least at this time), is cause of all the bloated JS stuff they added in IPB. We could disable that, but I'm sure functionality would be broken all over.

But Lite was *formerly* the mostly-text version. Why can't it be again? An image-free (excepting the logo) but still aesthetically pleasing forum would be awesome...

Black theme still doesn't have the rating stars in place.
It seems that the Lite theme doesn't have them, either.
Neither does midnight.

I think we need everyone to confirm every colour. I'm still waiting for 6 more replies :/

None of the new ones do. Only the original swift refresh has the stars. It will be fixed as soon as the devs can do it.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
