I've started investigating how the Site Styles work, and I'm currently open to suggestions on how to modify the preexisting theme. I have come up with a really basic modification of the preexisting theme's palette, now choosable from the style selector on the bottom left corner of any page on the site. If you have any suggestions for how it should look, or perhaps other palette swaps, please share your thoughts here. Attached is how my interface looks for screwing with the palette. Each colour can be opened up and custom picked - ideally by using hex codes rather than screwing around with the colour picker. I'm not going to dive into how the templates can be modified just yet since that sounds a lot more nebulous.
A dark palette would be nice so that the site no longer induces eye bleed. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any groupings of black and dark grey, or blues that come with hex codes so it might take a while...
When I get up in the morning I'll try my best to put together a dark theme since inverting the current theme to dark looks ugly.
I enjoy the current green and black theme, but I'll admit that I'm biased because green is my favorite color.
Could we maybe get the text colour/white on Pinched NERV to be something like #5a5a5a? Or maybe #9699a7... Perhaps as dark as #3d3f47... Just presently the text is a lot brighter than the rest. And I think that muted darker tones with less contrast would be better. Just muh 2 cents
Just an update: I've switched from pinched NERV to the Wandering Modified theme because Pinched has too much contrast between it's really bright bits and it's dark background, which is a shame because I like the blues and the black.
I'll take a crack at a dark theme when I get back. What's the preferred one at the moment? Pinched or modified?
I would want to use Pinched if the contrast wasn't so high, all of the bright colours need to be darkened a lot.
the default theme is pretty excellent. One minor problem though (can't blame you, I know XF is a pain for colors) but when you login OR fill in your registration, the font colors are the same as the background. For example, the email field text is black when selected so you can't see what you type until after you have clicked out. The same goes for the Registration form. EDIT: same for thread title
I like the overall layout - my only complaint is that you cannot see the text in the login box for when you are using the initial in-page login method, as it reverts to black text on a black background when you are typing in the box. A minor peeve, but I thought it worth mentioning.
