    Hello @Solaire today I was promised a dark theme. I applied the theme and I was over joyed with it.

    Then just like been pistol whipped it was taken away from me and I was left with light in my life.

    Here:

  • @AnthonySmith did you disable the plugin by any chance? :)

  • Nope, 10char

  • That's odd, the previously selected theme doesn't seem to be loaded anymore either so it seems the plugin is either disabled or malfunctioning. Any pointers in the error logs?

  • re-added it, I did f'k up the permissions when I first uploaded it so maybe that was the cause.

  • Ant has fixed it!

    All right, let's keep an eye out. If it happens again it's time to debug.

  • On my iPad I can’t get in my profile. The colour of the icon changes, but nothing happens. As if there’s no action defined.

    Do you have the iOS and browser version for me please? Can't reproduce on Android / Chrome.

  • Guessing this doesn't come up.

  • Oh I just reported the same to Ant on the iPhone.

  • I just purged the cloudflare cache completely, hopefully that will help some people, please do a hard refresh on your device.

    Yup.

  • @AnthonySmith please make the navbar fixed, so by scrolling it will stick.

    Thanks, I'll take a look :). Need to spin up a VM for that so it'll take some time. Meanwhile, please use the following like to get to your profile: https://talk.lowendspirit.com/profile/edit

    No difference.

    @solaire
    On Dark Theme , the page numbers and the 'cells' containing them are both VERY white, thus effectively whitewashing them to be unreadable (test on c'est pit). I guess this is can be fixed by making the text color slightly more grey, if the cells cannot be fixed.

    Also, I don't know how tunable the color attributes are, but the color palette on the dark 'Minimalistic Neutral' theme over at HostBalls is a nice compromise.
    (Light greyed text on Graphite)
    EDIT: turns out I was not using Dark over on HB. It was something called 'Minimalistic Neutral'. I loved it.

    @debaser @Phill Thanks! Looks like Safari 10.0 on OS X is flat out refusing to display anything at all. Seems to be a generic issue with Vanilla 3.x with no reported fixes. More on this later, I don't have the time to look into the Vanilla core at the moment.

    They are quite tunable, but I guess everyone has their own opinion on what color to prefer :) . I'll definitely look into the page number cells. But for now I think we're just going to stick with dark and light, else we'll end up with a different theme for everyone. Appreciate the feedback, though!

  • In chrome mobile the top left drop down menu still appears white:

  • @vimalware @terrorgen Cheers, I've submitted a patch. Whenever Ant has time both issues will get sorted :)

    (…) please do a hard refresh on your device.

    If using Firefox on iOS, this has worked for me to reload theme etc (to get emojis etc to behave after being fixed):

    • Request Desktop mode
    • Switch back to Mobile mode
  • Patching in 2 minutes

  • The dark theme is growing on me.
    A choice is better than no choice.

  • Pagination = Guesstimation

  • patched and cache cleared.

    Please refresh (fully)

    There are a number of issues with compatibility between vanilla core and safari browser, these will not be fixed immediately but will be looked in to for the short-medium term.

    However, a new nitpick arises. @Solaire
    The 'Currently viewing ' page's number is not highlighted in dark mode. (especially painful when visiting the #latest uri of a thread after a long time)

    Finally, dark theme! Dark sites are the best for mobile phones!
    Maybe I should start converting my websites to dark as well..

    I speak fluent sarcasm and broken logic. | I would agree with you, but thæn we’d both be wrong.

    To be honest because I have really never used a mobile device for any significant browsing activity, more emergency access only, looking at some of the stats I am shocked to see that around 40% of all views in the last 48 hours were on a mobile or tablet.

    Normally I get access to a PC only after I leave work (unless I'm using work PC for personal reasons). So most of the time I'm on mobile phone. Once I go get home, I have dinner while catching up on my shows. So not much time to browse forums.

    I browse a lot in my commute or at breaks in work, so have to use my phone, and in bed I browse using a tablet, so that’s like 70-80% of my activity here.
