Announcement STYLE UPDATE: Dark v2 Beta is now available

[Mook]

I want to stress that this is very much a beta theme. The colors are not at all where I want them to be but the functionality is there. This operates basically the same as Light v2 and you can hit the link below to learn all about it:

Announcement - STYLE UPDATE: Light v2 is now live

I wish I could take credit for this but this is a style created by ThemeHouse and then modified here and there by me. The style is pretty customizable, so if you see something you feel really needs changing, let me know and chances are its just a toggle switch. For the time being, I'm leaving...

This will be a work in progress but its more than usable.

wombat, might use your services once more. luckily, there is nothing that needs to actually be templated out. UI.X has everything built in but I'm getting frustrated trying to get all the colors set how I want

Blue as a secondary color isn't half bad. I'd say this is a nice "inbetween" between the OG dark and burn your eyes white.

 

[Mook]

I keep trying to change the blue header but then it fucks up a ton of other spots where blue is used...which is annoying. I have a fuckton of color selections for that theme, so I basically need to change items one by one. Havent had the motivation yet.

I really like this Mook. But found that when I’m somewhere with a lot of ambient light the text is a little hard to read with the medium (dove) gray background.

I also like that the gray bridges the black/white themes, but could be just a tad darker.

The blue frames and highlights are sweeeeeeet.

Honestly, I havent really touched any of the colors. This is out of the box UI.X dark, just updated to reflect changes needed for our add-ons and functionality. So the above is definite good feedback to have once I actually start customizing it.

Playing with it I did notice that it’s extra taps (mobile) to see notifications. Is that intended?

Edit: meaning the notifications is no longer next to the “latest” in the banner.

That is default UI.X, ya. I haven't figured out how to move alerts out of the side menu. I use this theme on another site and I've gotten used to it...eventually I'll figure out how to have alerts display like our default styles.

O0o0o I just clicked over to v2

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Something else. With v2 the browser window pans left/right (horizontal) when scrolling. Like it’s 105% of size. V1 is “locked” and only goes vertical.

In case you need to know, using iOS Firefox.

wut

Checking on my phone, there is nothing that goes off screen, unless you're viewing a super old thread with an old media embed.

All of Xenforo is mobile responsive, so you should not have to pan off screen to see more.

With V2 (on iOS Firefox) when scrolling vertically the window also pans horizontally a bit. Like it’s not sized correctly. If I knew how to video screen capture I would show ya.

 

[Mook]

Ya that doesn't happen in any testing, on any theme we run. It shouldnt happen at all in Xenforo. I suppose I can download FF and check.

At the very bottom of the screen cap you can see the horizontal scroll bar:

 

[Mook]

Oh....there is a side menu thats not being used....how have I never noticed that before. I can disable.

Edit: Actually, its the side menu add-on that is used on our standard dark style but is broke on dark v2...and I assume light v2. Its never showed up until now. Will fix if I can.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Okay. I just checked with Chrome as well, same thing.

Glad you knew what I meant.

Also, should the formatting frame look like this (circled):

 

[Mook]

Actually, no...that only shows up on the homepage, not in threads...hmm...

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Sticking with dark v1. Need that OLED true black

Yes. For whatever reason, the editor on 2.2 is weird on iOS. I've only seen that on iphones. I cant recreate it on android master race.

So ya, I can't recreate this even using Firefox on my phone.

Where are notifications on v2?

Where are notifications on v2?

Under the menu, top left. The badge will show up when you have one, like now.

 

[Mook]

Like I said, this style needs a ton of work. Its definitely not my daily driver.

Just use the TCG and don't spell it out and toss the notifications next to lightning bolt and search..?
