SDS Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 I've done a better job harmonizing the themes with proper color palettes (new Sabres color scheme) and eliminating errors. With that there is a new Dark Theme, that should be as good as the Light theme. You will need to choose the dark one again, since you were probably booted. You can find the new SS Home Dark Mode at the bottom of the page under Themes. 1 2 Quote
SwampD Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 Whatever this is, it’s not better. Ah, never mind. It’s still here. SS Home is the way to go. Quote

DarthEbriate Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 I should love Dark Mode. It's my side of the Moulson. But @SwampD is right, SS Home One mode is the way to go. Quote

I swear Dark and Light switched Home and Away designations since I last looked. I wonder if I switch?... Nope. All appears to be in order now. Home/Dark; Away/Light, just like jerseys should be. Must have been me misreading it initially. I'll take full responsibility for losing the colors and apologize to Lord @SDS. Quote
Zamboni Posted December 28, 2020 Report Posted December 28, 2020 Trying out dark mode for a bit. So far pretty nice 👍🏼 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 28, 2020 Report Posted December 28, 2020 I like the upcoming events. It has been a long time. Quote

I like the 3 star contributors. I also like My Clubs. The upcoming events are mostly upcoming games, right? So maybe divide that into 2 sections ... one for upcoming Sabre games (called that) and one for non-game events, such as the draft etc. Just now, New Scotland (NS) said: I like the 3 star contributors.

The calendar should have NHL events, sabers schedule, and if I get around to it player birthdays and/or other fun things. Quote

I like the new and fresher look. Not sure if you saw my next post that was merged with this one, but there looks to be two for each of the upcoming events. Quote

carpandean Posted December 28, 2020 Report Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I can't read light text on dark backgrounds for more than a couple of minutes. When I do, I see lines of "ghost text" floating around very quickly. I prefer the light. Of course, that's not the best for the eyes either - too bright. Actually, the light blue inside the quote boxed would be a good choice for that. Edited December 28, 2020 by carpandean 1 Quote

Many people have issues with too much contrast, likewise other people have a big issue with too little. finding that sweet spot on a website with team oriented colors is challenging. Quote
SDS Posted December 29, 2020 Author Report Posted December 29, 2020 @PASabreFan Do you have any suggestions on Sabre/Arena/Hockey -fying the language, colors, etc...? My Clubs -> ??? Home > ??? > The Aud Club etc... 1 Quote
