Board Theme

Xanthe · 11-09-2013, 06:21 PM

Is there any way to change the color theme of this forum?

I tried the "Forum Default", "Fixed", and "Liquid" options in the user control panel and they all a) seemed to look exactly the same, and b) are all in a blue color.

I'm so tired of the color blue on forums at the moment. Is there any way to adjust that? Am I missing something?

I don't think so... unless you override the styles with your browser.

"Forum Default" is probably either "Fixed" or "Liquid", and I think the difference is more in the layout (fixed-width or reflowable columns).

You can modify the style of your personal profile page, but that doesn't help you now. We are in the process of updating the forum software (no date for that yet), and maybe then we will have more themes to choose from (or more customization).

Thanks for responding. It's not that I'm looking for any kind of extreme theme - you know, like neon green on black for example

- and I do like the layout as it currently is because it seems to work very well.

Just the option to switch the main color for a change of pace every now and then.

I just the hope the new software maintains the Liquid format. The difference between Fixed and Liquid is if you increase the font size in your browser by ctrl + the Fixed will run off of the side of the screen (breaking the page) where the Liquid theme will word wrap everything and keep it on the screen. The Liquid theme is essentially an accessibility mode that allow folks to increase the font size (and leave the reading glasses in their case) without breaking the web page.

Liquid is an important feature. I use the mobile version of one site that I use specifically for that reason. The mobile site will reflow while the supposed better tool won't. I hate it when someone else determines the size of the window that is best for me to use.

I run into the same thing on another forum too and have to resort to their mobile theme.
