BLF After Dark, CSS theme [not relevant anymore]

That would require SB to add a theme selection system, and then officially support both. It’s extra work for someone who is already backlogged.

Okay, a new version is published to userstyles.org. In no particular order:

  • Re-added explanation about how email notifications work on “my subscriptions” page, but made it smaller.
  • Made text readable in the advanced post editor (and as a side effect, changed the default text color everywhere).
  • Moved “Write new message” link to a nicer spot in private message pages.
  • Made “(new)” marker stand out more, black on red shadow.
  • Fixed weird junk color on form section titles, like on the “my account” edit pages.
  • Re-added the poll widget in left menus.
  • Re-added the “Jump to top” and “Home” links at the bottom of each page.
  • Added styles for input widgets, buttons, text entries, etc.
  • Made a few action links look like form buttons.
  • Removed background colors from links and spans in forum posts. (not sure if this is a good idea, but it makes some posts look better)
  • Made signature text smaller on each post.
  • Hide tables in signatures (should probably not do this, feedback welcome).

Here’s a small preview:

Installed. Thanks for this TK, much better

I didn’t know how much I needed this till I saw this. HUGE improvement!

Many Thanks!

This is awesome, thanks TK for everything (including turning me into a linux convert!)

I did what?




Small update:

  • Minor color changes on quotes.
  • Styled <pre> tags, which were missed before.

Separately-installable style published to limit quote nesting depth.

Also, a couple other separately-installable styles added to get rid of other page elements, but not published on userstyles.org (only on tk.net). They remove stuff which shouldn’t be removed, like the search widget or some other things, so they’re not included by default or as easy to install.

The day that the forum was down we chatted about which linux distro would work on my netbook, got linux mint installed and flashed my first drivers from linux last night…i owe you much gratitude (and drinks!)

perhaps i should try this instead of windows on an old laptop, i was going to start a thread asking if there is a legitimate windows 7 iso since i have the sticker on the bottom with the serial number but no install disk

dual boot would probably be best though

finally i use it.its better i have to say…only one thing i lost,but its after the server upgrade-i lost notifications about my pm and threads….cant found how to change it back…

I was mostly teasing, but I’m glad to hear that it worked and you’re able to flash drivers. :slight_smile:

You might want to check the thread about that… (upgrade-related issues)

Teasing or not, i like it (and XFCE) better than the other flavors of stock ubuntu. But getting back on track, this dark theme is LEGIT!

Thanks, looks great!

hm…iam mad,but i dont know how to get again my email notifications….what i do wrong?

That is completely unrelated to the dark theme and unrelated to anything you did. The problem is that BLF itself got a major back-end upgrade and the email notification feature doesn’t work yet. Subscribe to this thread for updates about that issue:

Another update today…

  • Updated avatar decoration in both forum posts and private messages.
  • Aligned avatars closer to private messages.
  • Tidied up widget showing someone’s profile summary.
  • Fixed missing number bullets on ordered lists.
  • Made “Mark as Spam” look like a button, but still distinct from the other post buttons to avoid hitting it by accident.
  • Moved pager into the same row as the rest of the top bar, when there’s room.

thanks great maybe you can make the search function also usable in this forum the software is really retro

Thanks for the .css file TK. I wouldn’t change the .css to accommodate this list. That sort of list isn’t used that much and most people would only read it once or skip over it anyway.

Is this still the right way to enable toggling this on and off? ’oogled and found a fairly old method:
