Postmortem Blinded by the Light

I'm not sure how I feel about the mobile menu being the accent color. It takes up a large portion of the screen, so the contrast ends up hurting my eyeballs in a weird way. I suppose it's because the site predominantly uses blacks and greys, so when I opened the menu, I expected similar, but I was instead hit with a jumpscare.

Logged in today to find this with much better color. Beautiful. Perfect. Thank you, Jersh.

In the Light Stealth theme, the "Collaborative Data Services" text blends in with the background

I'm seeing this as a Guest. The updated Stealth looks great and has been one of the most underused themes due to the TLC it deserves. If possible, it would be nice to see a change in the KiwiFarms tab title

<title>Collaborative Data Services</title>

maybe it's just me but I don't like the color when active here

Call me stupid but why can't you just query the old ones and update only the themes that got lost?

I have conducted routine maintenance. It went pretty well, all things considered, until I accidentally deleted the Dark Theme. So now I have to redo the themes. A good excuse as any to freshen things up a bit, it's been like 4 years since the last time i updated the theme.

If anything is BROKEN (as in, does not work) please let me know. If things are so ugly it's literally unusuable, also let me know. If things are just ugly -- trust me, I know.

P.S. You now see DMs in people's profiles. These DMs are DMs you can see. This is not leaking to the public.

P.P.S. XenForo stores themes in the database without version control. It is not possible to Git themes. It is not possible to restore them. Only a database rollback was an option and I'd rather just fix it.


Please DO NOT make a post about an issue until it exists for 5 minutes.

Most of the existing theme color alternatives are now available in the style chooser. They now all also support light and dark variations, including Stealth. I have added a High Contrast theme which is pure black.

My very autistic that comes from bottom my heart, it glows and it's melon green, I like both.

It looks juicier and it's easy to read, I like it.

Not sure if this is new, but the current page highlighting doesn't have good contrast on Dark Mode. I'm having to squint a bit to keep track.

I see this changed, thanks.

Was it an intentional decision to make multiple span highlights the same color, yet a different color from the text? The brighter green is glaring, especially in larger highlighted areas. The darker green of the text is comfier, and may work better for the highlight shade.

Having T&H, the Messages banner, and the page highlight all the same color harmonizes it, but it looks kind of flat. The outline on T&H and the dark gray page highlight (instead of colored) broke up those sections more.

By the way, can we get rid of the comic book background and go back to just a flat color? No offense meant to the artists, but I'm a bit tired of "FAT CUNT" permanently affixed to the background.

You can just block it with uBlock Origin or any element blocking tool.

I'm glad that photo negative effect on some stickers and thumbnail images is gone.
 
Any chance of adding random.txt to the stealth theme (thanks for the dark version, btw)? I love being greeted by retardation in all caps.
 
make a hot pink theme. Should be a decent improvement over the light theme. Has high contrast enabled by default to aid icon visibility
