New OCUK Dark theme out now, get it while it's hot!

Judgeneo · 26 Mar 2011 at 12:00

Pretty cool

My first time using stylish as well.

Only complaint I have is that the font adjustment symbols (bold, italic etc..) look a bit pixelated on the grey background

To install it in opera you need to go into the preferences and attach the .css. Can't remember exact details

For Oera users, you can still use it, check out this guide here: http://www.pallab.net/2009/07/20/stylish-for-opera-and-firefox/

Prety sure it's still similar in Opera 11 but i haven't used Opera for a while.

Once you have installed stylish, refresh the userstyles page and there should be an install button.

Thanks, sorted it now

Looks good.

I like it except for the thread icons (envelopes), I'll have to use the old ones, you can't tell which threads have new posts in them very clearly from the colour of the envelope any more. Where as before it was a distinct grey/red/yellow.

How do you remove it?

Cosimo · 26 Mar 2011 at 12:04

Too dark for me.

I mainly look at the little orange arrow for new replies

You can't! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA

OK, you can, go into the stylish extension and remove it.

Ahh thanks! Had the red one on, doing my head in

Hmm how trusted is this Stylish malarky?

Just a bit weary of anything that says it can access all my data and browsing activity...

Hate it, sorry.
It annoys me when tech sites associate tech with the colour black and then choose to have a black forum. It's just style over utility and I find a black background unreadable.

Blue is associated with this forum, messing about with childish themes just spoils the image you've built up over many years. I'm not a kid and I don't want a choice of rainbows, I want solid professional branding.

Sorry to appear negative, but I don't see the point in messing with a brand for no good reason. Marketing 101.

Edit. Is this some official thing or just an addon?

Good thing it's a community made modification for the stylish plugin and entirely optional even amongst stylish users.

Would you like your dummy back?

LOL!!!

No, its not official. Does it state that SkyFall works at OCUK HQ? No. A member has tinkered around and developed something for people who prefer a black theme.

Sir, I think you just made a fool of yourself

Well I did say sorry for not liking it

It's more a comment on those forums that go with a default black theme because it's spacey or dark, when I'm happy with just plain old readable

A daily occurrence I fear

I'm sure skyfall doesn't mind, black themes are universally popular

Ace Modder · 26 Mar 2011 at 12:33

Can you redo this with the right side banner being enabled?

The **** is your problem? You don't have to use the ****ing thing. It's called choice.

Yes I am annoyed at my lack of Euromillions winning, looks like I'll have to face the music with my degree now.

Tefal · 26 Mar 2011 at 12:35

any chance of a before an after sky?

still on some old mod version of the old one (although i have all the images blocked via ad block so no banner or even "overclockers" at the top of the page

)

G18241 · 26 Mar 2011 at 12:35

Have been using the black theme for a while now so just updated it...am using the older icons as i find them easier to see but otherwise its looking very smooth

Much prefer the darker theme to the blue

white on blue is horrific to read (heck black on white is irritating enough, cause you're basically looking into a massive light bulb with a mostly white screen), nice light grey on dark grey is much much more comfortable to read.

No it's official and compulsory! if you don't install it within the hour your computer will explode into 14,268 pieces, give or take a few. Hurry man! you don't have much time left!
