XenForo 2.0 demo!

[Ajdin]

Hi there,

The XenForo team just released a demo version of XenForo 2.0. We will most likely be upgrading once it's released and we get all our addons compatible.

It feels much more modern and looks simple.

Opinions?

Truly, I prefer the bolder nature of the current version.

The current XF 1.x version has a similar layout, see here: https://xenforo.com/community/

Our forum has a more bulky feeling.

It looks very nice, modern look. With a dark theme it would look even better. From mobile perspective it also looks nice. Would love to see it in use when it gets released.

But wouldn't the theme change the entire look anyways?

The themes would need tweaking/redesigning. You can't use default 1.x themes/styles as far as I know.

My plan is to get a bunch of themes made from scratch by a company. Another reason why I didn't accept y0jJJyeDYzRTYomFX's suggestion.

The plan is to get the dark/light theme remade and modernized. They will both be the same style except with a option to display dark if needed.
Next to that, a few other styles like Google's Material design.

Right now, all our themes are based off 1 theme which I want to prevent going forward. Seasonable themes will most likely be completely ditched from 2017 so more resources and time can be invested in permanent ones.

I guess that is simply how I prefer it!

I guess I'm used to the old XenForo, but I have to admit it looks great and modern.

I expected more of it, and the new design is not that good IMO, nonetheless it's better than the old XenForo...

I think it looks a little weird but I assume it'd be tweaked a lot?

As long as there's a dark theme I am happy.

You're just used to our styles. Xenforo 1.0 doesn't look too much different from 2.0.

But I'm getting most styles remade when 2.0 comes out anyways so look forward to that.

IMO I like our current one. I just love the design. I know my opinion won't matter in the end just wanted to say it anyways.
