The Light Theme is what has existed on the Stonehearth Discourse for the last few years. The Dark Theme changes the interface color, providing a black background as opposed to white. The Floating Buttons themes add a floating new topic button that moves as you scroll. If you find yourself scrolling up to create a new topic often, then these themes are for you.
To change your theme, visit the interface section of user preferences, https://discourse.stonehearth.net/my/preferences/interface. From there select the theme you wish to use. Themes can be applied globally (to all locations where you are signed in), or applied per-device (ie. dark on the phone, light on the computer).
If you encounter any difficulties selecting a theme or have any feedback on the new themes, let us know here!
They sure do appear to be. That should be a quick adjustment.
I’ve already alerted the team for this one. I’m not sure how they want to handle having black logo text on black.
Ooh, good catch. I’ll see if it’s possible to change the color of a category “per theme”. If not, it will likely stay black, no good way around that, and I don’t want to confuse everyone who has used the light theme and doesn’t plan to change.
Is there any chance with the dark theme that the viewed vs non-viewed could be made more apparent? Like make the non-viewed brighter or the viewed darker? You can see there’s a difference, but they’re so close that you can’t tell at a glance.
Chance, absolutely. Quickly, not so much. At the moment the dark theme just changes the color scheme, and everything adjusts from there. To change the brightness/darkness of viewed topics I’ll need to add some CSS. Not hard, just need time to do it carefully as to not break anything else.
Edit: @SirAstrix just tried a “quick fix” of adjusting the non-viewed topic color. This should affect the viewed color too. Is it any better, or do I need to darken the viewed topics too?
Dark Theme is a blessing on the eyes - but, this very issue your pointing out here will be the reason I will remain with Light Theme for a while longer
