Poll: What theme / style are you using on the OcUK forums?

[Feek]

It became clear at the weekend that many of our members didn't realise that there are multiple different colour themes / styles you can use to browse our mighty fine forums.

There are a couple of ways you can change the theme. Either click on the palette icon at the top right of the screen by your name and it will cycle through them (although I notice that the 'Overclockers Lite - v2' theme isn't included there, you have to use the picker to select it).

Or at the bottom left of your screen, it shows the theme you're using. If you click on that, you can then pick one of the five available.

Which theme / style are you using?

I've used the default classic blue for so long, I don't think I could get used to another.

I thought the same but a few years back I started finding it a bit harsh on the eyes. I now use the green theme and really like it.

Blue, I feel my eyes straining with any other!

Blue, I tried the alternate theme as it's very close to the 'nord' colour theme but I couldn't adjust to the white text on it and it felt too harsh to read.

Classic Blue here, i've tried some others and they just don't feel right.

Alternate Style is the superior style.

Edit: I also block some distracting elements with ublock.

 

[Junglist]

Dark and have done for a number of years. Though, I do quite like the alternate one.
The Classic blue one now annoys me as it makes me realise I have to do 2FA again

So, I guess the only correct way to browse the forums is dark mode + no avatars.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Classic Blue

 

[uvarvu]

Green. Looks great on Apple kit.

 

[Malevolence]

Green, always green.

 

[kindai]

Blue is the only correct answer.

 

[drakulton]

Purple

They're all easy-ish on the eyes (white text on dark-ish shades) so I stick with classic blue. What annoys me are forums/websites with black text on bright backgrounds. Fortunately there are numerous browser extensions to fix such sites if they don't offer a dark mode or similar.

Alternate style

(how long has the lite style been there? )

I think the same about the dark style - retina-burning white text on a black background. I'd take black text on white over that.
This is why Alternate Style is the better dark mode.

 

[JamesH85]

Classic blue. Tried a few of the others, did not like.

 

[SilverTongue]

Alternate here, but until the other day was using Dark.

Switched to Lite to take a look and see if the colours had been fixed, alas not

Green gang reporting in though I read this thread on Light V2 to experience true suffering
