Blue Phoenix Ace Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I recently did an upgrade of the forum software and it seems to have made a lot of the themes look crummy. I've done some work to fix a lot of the problems, but I probably missed some things for certain themes. If you think something looks a bit off in some places, please let me know here and I will start fixing them. Thanks!
Arocalypse Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 The info sections on profiles and the status update, member statistics and who's online boxes are all kind of hard to read with the new text blending in. Other than that though things seem to working well Edit: Also the topics section on the board index page has the same issue as the above list
Zema Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 The dark (green) theme (and probably the other dark theme) has an ugly white border around some elements. The ones I found with this issue are the text editor and the sidebar on profiles. Also the bar at the top (the one with the "Forums", "Leaderboard" and "Chatbox" buttons) is a really dark green which doesn't stand out from the dark grey background. This is the case for the main page of the forums too. Also, the heart reaction is blue, which does not fit well with the dark (green) theme. It also has a white border. Also, if possible, could you please fix the low contrast between the quote box and text, and the spoiler box and text in the text editor? (The low contrast only occurs in the text editor NOT once it has been posted. It's really hard to read what you're typing in the spoiler box) That's all the problems I've found so far, but I'll keep you informed if I find anymore. (Also, I'm liking the reactions. Is it possible for you to add more or are they fixed?)
Louis On Air Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 The best looking one now is default blue. But dark blue has white around the text box so maybe invert all that.
Blue Phoenix Ace Posted August 15, 2017 Author Posted August 15, 2017 @Louis Hypo I've fixed the section header font issues. Should be much more readable now. Working on the next one now.

Pain the butt to fix for some reason. I did fix the text to be more legible on the nav bar so that should help. 18 hours ago, Zemaddog said: Also, the heart reaction is blue, which does not fit well with the dark (green) theme. It also has a white border. Unfortunately, the color of the icon is fixed for all themes, so it will just be green everywhere. The white border looks OK to me, so I think I'll just keep it. 18 hours ago, Zemaddog said: Also, if possible, could you please fix the low contrast between the quote box and text, and the spoiler box and text in the text editor? (The low contrast only occurs in the text editor NOT once it has been posted.

It has to do with the editor's code which is out of my hands unfortunately. 18 hours ago, Zemaddog said: (Also, I'm liking the reactions. Is it possible for you to add more or are they fixed?) I can add as many as we'd like. I just need an icon and a name for it. 11 hours ago, Louis Hypo said: But dark blue has white around the text box so maybe invert all that. Fixed!
Zema Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Now none of the buttons at the top of the page work! I can't check my notifications, PMs or go to my profile D: @Blue Phoenix Ace please fix!
Blue Phoenix Ace Posted August 15, 2017 Author Posted August 15, 2017 Hmm, that's bad. 3 minutes ago, Zemaddog said: Now none of the buttons at the top of the page work!

Blue Phoenix Ace Posted August 15, 2017 Author Posted August 15, 2017 LOL, it's really irritating though. Unfortunately there are four separate places where colors are defined and it can be confusing to figure out which one actually matters.
Momo Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Still some weirdness with the titles in a few places

Momo Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 @Blue Phoenix Ace Yeah, that's what I was talking about. Could just be me but the black on the dark green isn't any easier to read. It should be white or near-white in my opinion. There's no contrast at all at the moment which makes it very hard to read.
Star Girl Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 WHY CAN'T I SEE THE RECENT TOPICS PEOPLE HAVE POSTED IN OR STATUS UPDATES?!?!?!!!!! ??? (Sorry for the all caps; I am very distressed. It was working earlier today, although I don't think I was logged in.) (Also I'm on my phone and I've looked with both the light and dark green themes.)
Momo Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 @Star Girl are you on a phone or tablet? @Blue Phoenix Ace looks like the right sidebar is just completely missing if you reduce the width of the site, not just below everything else like it used to be.
Momo Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Also, the notification popup is strange. There's supposed to be text in there about what the notification actually was. It's probably black text on a black background.
Louis On Air Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 So dark blue now looks better; no unnecessary light thankfully. And dark green has improved too. I like how the background's black at the top and it slowly turns dark grey as you go down.
Star Girl Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 @Momo: I am on a phone using Chrome. Edit: Also, using the light green theme, the search magnifying glass and menu button appear white, but the news spot (where I have to go to see what people have recently posted) is dark.

Fixed! Apparently any time I change any colors, this setting gets cleared, which is not very handy... On 8/16/2017 at 4:37 AM, Momo said: Also, the notification popup is strange.

Has anybody seen this with the other themes? I don't know which of the vague 40 or so color settings controls that. I can't reliably reproduce this to fix it either.

Louis On Air Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I've noticed a problem with white appearing over the notifications on dark theme.
Star Girl Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Thank you! When you click on notifications on your phone it is kind of weird... it is supposed to highlight where the text that you clicked (/touched... whatever you call it on a phone) but instead the split highlighted is slightly displaced.

Unfortunately I can't control that. Sorry I still have no fix for the notification color. I will submit a help request to Invision to get an answer for that.

If this is a problem with other themes, let me know the theme name that has the problemo.
