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...

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.

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.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. Look it up and keep it. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
