Happy New Year to everybody!!

The new color scheme looks just looks nice :tfw_bella2:. Only thing that the orange theme did better was making emphasis on the topics with new posts (given that it's a very different color to the blue from the topics with no new posts). New posts on the white and blue scheme do stand out, but not as much as they did with orange and blue. The accesibility options are an advantage over the older theme, though!

Edit: Disregard this!! The new theme is completely awesome! :bon2: Now that I got used to it I love it much more than the orange one!! :sasukehearts:

:blue: OH YES

The Contrast options don't do the work that well: Invert Colors inverts all the colors, including images that you wouldn't want inverted, and "Dark Contrast" still leaves some parts on white. A separate Dark mode would be great! :orion3:

Seems like everyone loves the new theme! I don't know if you're accepting constructive criticism on it, but I'm not really a fan.. It's still nice, I just really liked the orange because it stood out more as a contrast to the blue, while everything is now blue. Plus, I associated the orange with gingaboard. but-- there's no reason to change it if it's well loved. And changes are always neat.
Do you think there'd ever be a possibility of adding some theme choices along with 'Dark'? It's not important but the new layout made me wonder.

I can't expect everyone to be pleased with it XD when the board opened, there were some people who didn't like it then as well. For the minority who don't like the new colours, all I ask is you give it some time to get used to it :)

"Regnant can still work on a “Dark mode” version of the board, but for now people who are wanting that please give the widget a try in the meantime - specifically the Contrast ‘Invert Colours’ option and see if it helps!"

What?;; I'm confused, I already mentioned the dark theme in the portion you quoted. I saw that part. I'm asking if there would be others as well eventually.

Oh my bad I misread!!! There are no current plans to add on additional themes besides dark, so we don't have to work on maintaining multiple random themes at the same time. The blue/grey choice was made to match the old board, along with a lot of the colors used by the Silver Fang Network.
