ucjohn Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Seeing what type of theme you would like to see the forums. I know some people saying they like the default Invision Theme or this white one, but I want to hear the community opinion and poll. Dark/Grey Light/Blue I want this to be something the community will enjoy for a long period of time, lets make this the best TCAdmin Forums possible!

Dennis Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The default theme is the best of the two currently available. There are too many design flaws with the 'TCadmin_2020' theme. The obvious answer for this poll is both - there's really no reason to just go with one if it's possible to get both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeteCT0R Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) There is a "default" dark theme. https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9377-dark-theme/ https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9383-night-mode-theme/ Both free.

Without navigating away from this page, I see 3 different shades of green and 4 shades of blue. Adding to that, some text are hard to read. Either dark text on dark background or light text on a light background. The author pane color doesn't match anything on the website Text in the menu shouldn't be green - would look best as white Overuse of box-shadow Mostly, it all comes down to colors - they're really poor and makes the theme look bad. Having different colors for everything is just a very bad idea for design. It also seems like the default theme has seen some changes, unfortunately. It looked better when it was 100% default.

I'm working on a custom theme, so I appreciate the feedback, I've changed some settings to reduce the color palette as the theme TCADMIN 2020 isn't my theme it's a paid theme I'm constantly trying to adjust it. I've enabled the dark mode which doesn't have any changes made to it refresh top corner you'll see a moon that'll toggle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucjohn Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 I've revised the theme now. Removed the shadow boxes Put a 1px border and removed some of the rounding. Fixed the blue to match across the entire theme. Fixed the footer colors. Fixed Poll colors. Adjusted a few other elements to make it a better viewing experience. Only for Day Version of theme.

Adam Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Changes to the dark theme for the header i think this looks better https://gyazo.com/e4fcbfb500a65bc6209b5ef911170156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucjohn Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Unfortunately I'd have to recode the entire header so that the dark logo is used in dark mode. It's not a huge deal the current way, until I get time to recode it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 @ucjohnit only requires very little CSS. .ipsaXenTheme_Dark #ipsLayout_header > header { background: #0c0c0c !important; } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubka3 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Looks like the default theme has been disabled. How disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have cleaned up the theme alot and I can enable default theme. I'm curious for input, what makes the default theme better than the TCADMIN theme? As they both are equivalent and both clean looking.

Dennis Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 In my opinion, the default theme is just more clean. The only thing the two themes share is that they're both light themes - but the default is just so pleasing to the eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
