Darkside enabled on the forums

I do not know if this is intentional behavior but I cannot change to the Darkside (forum) theme without logging in. It works fine with the News page.

This is by design.

Ignition is made by Neowin just like Atlas. But Atlas on the forums is strict. Why? Because IPB is a server software they use and it is not made by them. If they want to change the work it works, they introduce hacks. More and more hacks will cause Neowin to have trouble during an IPB upgrade. Upgrading IPB last time was very difficult. Now you must log in because it is one of the features of being a member, just like a blog is a feature for a subscriber. So it could be impossible without a hack or it could be they want you to become a member. Either way, Ignition is made by them and so they can make it work the way they want it to without hacks. So it was designed to work without logging in. Take into note, Ignition is designed to change it's look without refreshing the page, you cannot do that on the forums because skins work differently on it. It may look the same but it is functioning completely different from Ignition.

Bout time! :P

Awesome work, been the only thing bugging me since Atlas was released, the lack of consistency and a dark theme on the forums (Atlas Black just wasn't dark enough for me).

EDIT: The blush smilie seems to have been missed (white background).

When posting a reply the emoticons box is not working for whatever reason (not a major problem for me as I virtually never use emoticons past the autoparse ones), worked fine in the other themes (Opera 10.10).

Hi, I made a stylish script for Darkside, so you guys can tweak away at stuff I've already set. It's kinda neither here or there.

I started the script before it was updated, so there may be things in here that don't actually need to be here. Enjoy.

.. Or not.

Where do we go to enable themes?!?! I looked all through my User settings and can't find it!

RottGutt

Top right hand corner of the page there are 3 coloured circles, click those and choose the theme you want.

The only issue I'm seeing is on the Fast Reply box... The emoticon icon has some white pixels around the sides that clash against the dark background.

So what do you get when you actually click that? I get this... same as Avogadro

...empty :( <--as you can see, manually typing the face is no-go either.

I should have mentioned that doesn't work for me, either.

I am guessing they're disabled because of the white halos (an example of which is you're seeing on the toolbar button). Or theres some addon the guys need to install to make it work on a new theme.

*shrug*

    • True they were Inspiron models and Dell's SupportAssist has a long history of security vulnerabilities. I also had problems with Dell System Detect and the Dell Software Update utility program. It was all way too much trouble. So I just removed all of them and manually did updates from their website but that was also a pain. Overall, the Inspiron's were decent enough until one became unusable for Windows after a malware attack. I Installed Ubuntu on it and used it with Ubuntu for several months before giving it away.
    • You can now turn 2D images into 3D objects with Copilot's new feature by Taras Buria Copilot Labs, a section with various experimental features in Microsoft's AI assistant, received a new feature called Copilot 3D. With this feature, Copilot lets you transform 2D images into usable 3D objects. Microsoft wants to simplify the process of creating 3D models, giving users a useful tool that has no steep learning curves and does not require installing complicated software. With Copilot 3D, users can transform images into 3D models for later use in game development, animations, 3D printing, design, AR or VR content, art projects, and more. Additionally, users can browse a library of various 3D objects and scenes for inspiration, which sounds awfully familiar to the now-deceased Paint 3D and its content marketplace. Copilot 3D is a one-click solution. All you need is to upload a picture (PNG or JPG, less than 10MB) and wait for Copilot to do its job. Unfortunately, Copilot cannot generate 3D objects from text prompts, at least for now, as Microsoft says in the announcement article. Copilot 3D is available for free globally to a subset of Copilot users, but you need a Microsoft Account to access it from the browser. Once your object is generated, you can download it in GLB format so that you can later modify it in any compatible 3D viewer, editor, or game engine. Microsoft also adds that all creations are stored for 28 days, and the company does not use the uploaded images for model training or personalization. In case you missed it, Microsoft recently introduced another Copilot Labs feature, which gives the assistant a physical appearance with physical expressions and emotions for a more natural conversation in Voice Mode. Also, Microsoft launched Gaming Copilot in Game Bar so that AI can see what is going on on the screen and give you tips, suggestions, and other useful information.
    • Shou Zi Chew was Xiaomi's CFO for five years and was with them when they were blacklisted by the first Trump administration. Xiaomi was subsequently removed from the blacklist by the Biden administration. Sen. Cotton was also a Senator when Xiaomi was blacklisted though I don't recall if he was influential in bringing about the blacklisting.
