Hello all, as most of you will agree this new theme isn't good the way it is. It needs a lot of changes to become close to the good old dark theme. Instead of asking for the old one back, which is unlikely since its made for a different base system (stock xenforo instead of XenBase idk the technical details), we can change this one to be more like it.

Please leave your suggestions on parts of the theme (fonts, color, text color, text size, etc) to be changed. Don't bother with "bring the old theme back" there's already suggestions for that, please post there instead.

I will start.

  • Reduce brightness of thread titles and make them blueish again
  • Increase brightness of thread text, including in the text box when typing
  • make it so the entire user card is 1 color, not 2 (there's a darker box around the username, ranks and rep).
  • reduce brightness of the scrollbars, they should not attract attention the way they do now, especially near SB.
  • the grey boxes around the timestamps in SB are not needed, or at least should not be that bright, it looks ugly. Maybe make it just a tad lighter or darker than SB background, but only so you really need to look for it.
  • The dropdown arrows next to people's names in the SB user list is nearly impossible to see, so much so that people thought it wasn't there.
  • make the changeable color changeable only for the bars, or make the section titles so that they'll always remain readably bright but adapt their hue.\
  • Thread meta tags put in by the thread creator should not be publicly displayed at the top of the thread.
  • The white stroke on shoutbox user profiles should be a different color and thinner
  • Links in shoutbox should go back to light blue instead of white to stand out as links
  • Banned users' messages now have gray filters over the entire message, making it almost impossible to read scam reports and any messages by banned members. This should be removed, or at least changed so that it is once again properly legible
  • Desaturate/darken the white bars in the "reactions given/received" tab on user profile
Further (serious) suggestions will be listed

I think it would be great if the colour of the titles would change to Blue instead of the white colour in the new Dark theme. The white does not look too good and I feel like Blue would make the theme more MC-Market-like with the blue logo and the blue section titles.

(was told to cp my suggestion here)

The logo is too small.

Please disable Onyx. This new theme was not made with Onyx in mind so it won't look very good when you have it enabled.

On dark theme: Change all of the white bars to a light gray, or maybe dark gray. It looks so bad on the shoutbox and also on the example above.[DOUBLEPOST=1501848115][/DOUBLEPOST]On dark theme: Change all of the white bars to a light gray, or maybe dark gray.
