[Resolved] Customise Display Settings?

[Cinnder]

Is there a way to customise the display settings per account?  I looked but couldn't find anything.

 

I find the new forum very hard on my eyes.  If I could change the text and/or background colours or possibly change the font, that would help.

We only have this one display theme currently.  If/when more themes with different color schemes become available we'll let the community know.

As a forum admin for many years, I found it beneficial to my users to have both a "dark" skin and a "light" skin. At least for the sake of accessibility for those that might have visual impairments, it's good to have at least those two options, I've found.

The current plan's to get all the little tweaks to the dark theme squared away first, then use that to develop alternate versions of that theme so that they're all consistent with each other and we don't have to worry about content displaying differently for different sets of users.

At the very bottom of the page you should now be able to select 'Temporary Light Theme'. We'll work on something more permanent in the future 🙂

Yay!

On a secondary note, we need a red Villain theme now.  Maybe a yellow Rogue theme, for those weirdos who like Praetoria.

I believe there are plans for red and goldside themes, we just want to get the blueside theme in a state everyone is more-or-less happy with first.

HEY! I resemble that remark!

Many forums offer users display options where you can change colors, enable/disable avatars, etc. If it's possible to turn that on it would help 😉

[GM Capocollo]

I don't believe that that's an option here.

[Oubliette_Red]

The old forums colour scheme added to the toggle would be nice. Although I realize you are working on more important things at the moment. 🙂

A “minimal” theme without avatars, signatures and more space pulled out would be lovely

Gah!  Bright Theme TOO BRIGHT!!!

The current Temporary light theme is a just the default theme packaged with the software.  As soon as the team gets all the back end flips and switches set how they want, it will be easier for them to make adjust themes. It's only been a couple of days and there are an obscene amount of flips and switches on admin side of the Invision software.

For all the dark and light lovers, you may want think about exactly how all those colorful Pine's builds posts will look on the different backgrounds. 😉

Thanks so much!  While it's not ideal, it's better for my eyes than the default display.  And I understand this isn't the highest priority issue, so I appreciate that it's on the When We Have More Time list at all.

I just wanted to say, I really like the 1a293b background color. It makes it much easier to post Mids Builds in a legible manner.
