Edit: Skin Optimization Topic

[SDS]

I'd like to fix any issues that I may have let slide last time I did this. So, if you see something that looks like ass or needs to be adjusted for a good usability reason put that in here.

What I need to know:

1. Mobile, Tablet or Desktop
2. Portrait or Landscape
3. OS is helpful (windows, mac, iOS, Android)
4. What the issue is
5. Screenshots are great here
6. Why you think there is an error (takes too much space, hard to read, colors not consistent, draws too much or not enough attention, etc...)

Thanks.

Upgrade complete. I don't know any more about it than anyone else at the moment. Now, I have to fix the skin.

[LTS]

Thanks for spending your time on this.  I'm sure it's exactly what you had planned for today.

I've had this annoying "upgrade" banner up for a month on every page. Ugh.

I’m just trying to get the logo figured it out in the mobile skin designed with a quick tweak.

shockingly this company has been around for 16 17 18 years, and getting the lower right is the hardest ***** thing on the installation.

[SDS]

Taking a break for dinner. Almost figured out the logo, or better stated, I almost remember what I did last time three years ago. And then there’s a margin error in mobile that’s bothering me. After that it’s a bunch of small stuff but I can do that over time.

Is there a way to get rid of the bar on the side when you're reading a thread? It squishes the posts into a much smaller space, wasting a bunch of screen real estate.

WTF happened to the internet this weekend?! It seems like every device I have that is dependent on it freaked out at some point and everything is different.

Who cares about the election.

I fear The Singularity.

I don't have one of those.

Found it.

Just making you aware (if you aren't already).. the notification pop-up you get when accessing the forum appears to be using black text on a black background.

You see how many notifications you have, but you can;t see the line below it.

And again, thank you for spending your time on this.

That fixed it, thanks.  Is the dark theme coming back?

The 'like' button on mobile is white and ends in with the background, can't even see it. Just a heads up.

Hard to test because I need a notification to see it. I think I fixed, but I'm waiting to see it.

We will see. I'm really going to work on this one, particularly mobile.

Yeah I almost need the night theme to view the site.

Is the confusion about the current skin or the fact that I haven’t looked at the night mode one yet? Because the current one is certainly not worse than the last one (on mobile) and it’s probably even better on a desktop.

Night mode.  I always view in night mode.

Ditto.  Always have dark themes enabled anywhere and everywhere.

I reenabled night mode. It doesn’t look bad actually. I don’t use it, I forgot and it was a quick and dirty solution.

Hey, quick and dirty is all I need, I guess. Thanks!

My eyes thank you

It seems like these colors make for a decent dark mode viewing. At the top color scheme to work with.

[Taro T]

Night mode works.

Thanks.
