Introducing Atlas2 forums (beta)


Recommended Posts

Today we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Atlas2 forum theme update.

Currently the default (blue) and Pro theme are available to select in the theme menu at the top right of the forums (theme selector). To switch back, you will find the standard IPB theme menu on the bottom right of the forums, in the footer. Please note that the theme is as far as we are concerned in final state and ready for primetime, but there may be bugs! Because the update is heavily based on the Atlas theme, it's likely that there will be no issues to report, but as always we are open to feedback and bug reports in the correct forums.

This update took into consideration feedback from members and staff after the major update in January. We feel that Atlas is now finally how we intended it, complete.

Please also note that we have also updated our logo. For the first time in about 8 years, neowin.net uses the new font type "comfortaa" where we used to use "chlorine".

Colors will appear in the theme drop down in the next week or so, so look out for those. The default Atlas theme will be phased out and no longer supported once the update is completed.

The main page will also receive an update, that is nearing completion and will be merged live at short notice.

Bugs we are aware of:

- Community tab does not display feeds (yet)

- A few IE issues with the nav menu feeds

Enjoy!

On first sight: AWESOME!!

I really like the fact that it's just 'slightly' less wide and the refresh in general makes it a lot cleaner!

* after a bit of looking around: I'm not a fan of the green on a:hover...

Looks like you'll be using Midnight when it's done then :p

Please please let there be an option for Darkside on the final Atlas 2!! Darkside is freaking awesome!!:woot:

But otherwise, I tried out Atlas 2, really liked it! But I went back to 1 only for Darkside! :p

There's a huge amount of "white" (blue) space underneath the footer for me, I did do a hard-refresh. It only appears once the whole page has loaded.

Using Chrome 6.0.422.0.

Edit: And only in this topic :wacko:

We don't support beta browsers.

We don't support beta browsers.

Im on the same browser and I dont need no white space...

looks fine here.

It was only happening on the first page. But no problem, I found the culprit.

I disabled all my extensions and re-enabled them one by one, it was the SmoothScroll extension causing all the fuss.

Sorry, I should have tested everything from my end before mentioning it :)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
