2021 Theme -

[Null]

As explained in this thread which was featured for weeks, ThemeHouse has banned us without warning or explanation and is too cowardly and inept to even return my emails asking if I have in fact been banned. Their customer service is ordinarily very slow and useless but I'm figuring this is an intentional silence. So, yes, we have to change the theme and I'm working on the replacement.

You can test it now here:.
Dark: https://kiwifarms.net/misc/style?style_id=61
Light: https://kiwifarms.net/misc/style?style_id=54

Be aware,
No, it is not done yet.
Do not post just to say you "don't like it".
No, the feature to choose a font size was a part of ThemeHouse and will not be present in this style.
If you are using the new theme, you should expect the site to glitch out. When I change things, it will recache the CSS.
If the site looks completely broken, wait a few seconds and refresh. If it's still broken after a few minutes, report it.
Other colors are coming soon after the switch.

I am looking for broad complaints and obvious which can be addressed, rather than nitpicks.
"The font is different", "this part of the site is hard to read", "this doesn't work", "this hurts my eyes", etc are what I'm looking for.
"You should add 10px to this margin" is not, because of how much I am changing.

I'm forcing this on everyone on January, so make do.

As indicated on my profile by @Yotsubaaa, pics put into my bio show up massive and full sized in the 2021 theme on A&N ops.

A bit better than the first draft, the grey doesn't blend together as much.

Currently using dark 2021 on mobile. Honestly, it's not too bad! I appreciate the board icons reappearing more than anything, which I'm sure will be modified soon because that was my favorite aesthetic from this site.

Looking pretty good. One minor gripe: the "unread posts" indicator in the watched threads section is easy to miss.

I’m gonna miss kawaii, but this dark theme isn’t so bad.

Post are too narrow and letter spacing make every post somewhat square, so it is harder to read. Also, brightness is higher, so it harder to look at for a long time.

It looks a lot better than when you first rolled it out. It's actually usable right now.

I think the Happenings header needs some significant work though. It's the first thing you see when you load up the site, and right now it has several different font sizes for a small amount of text, and depending on the splash text there is a large amount of unused space for relatively few words (Should it really create an entire new line of empty space just for "Kiwi Farms"?). Plus the general style doesn't transition very well from the header of the site to the forum index.

yes, because you lay fucking faggots never, ever bother to take 3 seconds to thumbnail your image. I'm not porting the fake thumbnail functionality over.

Also, brightness is higher

It is literally the exact same colors.

The first thought I had when I clicked the new dark theme was "2004". And I am not complaining. Sharp edges and gentle color palettes are comfy. We could all use a break from the new sleek white everything has been since the early 2010s

Are the arrows to scroll to the top and bottom of the page fast part of theme house? When I use the new themes only the up arrow occasionally appears. Those where pretty useful and it would kinda of suck not to have them.

 

[Psychic Espeon]

Some constructive criticism: Is it possible that you can shrink the New Theme down just a little bit? or are you limited?

I was honestly expecting much more different results than this. But it works and that's all that matters really.

It looks nice, the only autistic thing I have to say is

The + and - arrorws when selecting a page should match the same as the number for better readability as we're all going to grow old and get poor eyesight eventually.
This is for the dark theme, it's fine for the light one

Maybe it's just the font thickness, idk.
