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

Thanks wiiija; quick question. Which part of the code would need to be changed to alter the background and font colour in the main post window?

I would love to see you update your "dark/black" theme to work with this forum again skyfall, it was nigh on perfect.

Can't stand the blue and personally I don't like the new grey theme either, it is just too "light" looking for me, everything looks washed out.

I'll get everything finished on my grey theme tomorrow, my mouse just died so I can't do it today now doh! Those who want a darker theme feel free just to take my code and change it at will, mine will be staying the shade that it is

Where in your theme would we edit to make it darker? No chance of you adding options?

Hi,

I'm by no means a CSS guru, but I've made some tweaks to adjust the fonts and spacing to suite me better. I've put the code below if anyone wants to try it out.

Code:

Thanks for that paste, but you seem to have Times New Roman as your font. Is that correct??

The posts seems to have changed to Arial, but nothing else.

Scottland · 14 Feb 2017 at 13:34

Sorry still some errors in there as I'm still faffing with it, this should have been the font set:

Code:

font-family: Roboto, arial, helvetica, sans-serif, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande';

Ha, the forums swear filter is impeding with this font: http://bit.ly/2lcf7cd

Beautiful! Thanks mate.

Scottland · 14 Feb 2017 at 13:42

No worries, I'm far from an expert on this stuff - but happy to faff around with it.

If anyone knows a way to identify posts you've contributed in to highlight - that would be awesome.

dirtychinchilla · 14 Feb 2017 at 13:48

That would be awesome.

I'll probably also have a fiddle - CSS isn't hard.

I think that's a competitor haha!

I must admit, I do like this theme...

Great job on the XEN-WIP style.

wiiija · 14 Feb 2017 at 16:06

Thank you! I've just done a couple of fixes I could manage on my phone but work will continue tomorrow to finish it once my new mouse arrives.

Yup seems all good here!

The image resizing with your theme seems broken at the moment. That would be a fix worth doing.

Edit: What I mean is its not automatically resizing them images at the moment. Changing the ....

Code:

img, img:link {
    max-width:XX00px!important

works though.

Nasher · 14 Feb 2017 at 16:59

This should be the official theme. Not the eye assault that's going on at the moment.

mrk · 14 Feb 2017 at 17:04

Working on mobile too :cool:

BDEE · 14 Feb 2017 at 17:15

Ahh that's much better. Thanks

You definitely win the c00kies today.

For anyone else interested in order to change the main post background colour; alter line 115.

Code:

background-color: Black;

This helps my eyes with the text.

Thanks, Paul.

How do you change the main forum text within threads for example, I find grey on grey hard to read, would prefer off white or white?
