Theme changes

Announcements
  • I’ve recently revamped the theme to automatically detect those who prefer dark mode over light. Based on this, anyone viewing this forum - either as a user, or as a guest, and has defined dark mode at operating system level, will receive the dark theme by default - no more having to select this (although the ability to toggle between light and dark still exists) when you first enter the site.

    To me, it makes much more sense to respect the settings visitors prefer rather than force a particular theme on them by default.

    Night owl ? No problem. Light lover ? No problem 👍

  • Added more visual enhancements - see if you can spot them ! 🙂

  • Even more eye candy added 💓

    See if you can spot it (note, you may have to reload your browser window to see it). I’ll give you a hint - most of the changes are visible in dark mode 🙂

  • Plenty more subtle changes, and some “under the hood” stuff to further enhance the experience. Just because you can’t see it, that doesn’t mean it’s not there 👍

  • Frequent visitor here may well have noticed several changes. I’m not going to list them all 😃 but do let me know if you experience any issues.

  • There’s still some very minor bugs in the two themes (light and dark) but these will be resolved in the coming days. Some are specific to firefox, and well require special attention, but will still be resolved nonetheless.

    @phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic.

    Sadly, no. Web crawlers and scrapers are often JS based and read text only, so styles don’t have any bearing.

    I’ve read mixed things about this, but no that does make sense, it was something I read a many years back when using Wordpress.

    I’ve noticed that I’m the only one subscribed to the push notifications on this site. If you were using NTFY previously, and have noticed that you’ve not had any alerts for a while, it’s because this feature has been disabled.

    You’ll now need to use the push notification to replace NTFY as mentioned in the first post.

    @cagatay these changes aren’t published anywhere presently, so nothing for you to do.

    I relented somewhat here and added another swatch - one I missed, which was previous called “blackout”. This specific one has been adapted to work on the new theming engine, but the others have been reclassified, and renamed to suit.

    As a result, the theme you might have had will probably be reflecting something else, so you (might) need to change your themes accordingly. The changes are as follows

    Light -> No Change
    Cloudy -> Is now the old “Dim”
    Dim -> Is now the old “Dark”
    Dark -> Now a new theme based on the revamped “Blackout”

    @phenomlab said in Theming support in Sudonix:

    I thought I’d better come by here with an update so everyone knows that the Swatch project isn’t abandoned, or has simply “gone cold”. In fact, quite the opposite.

    I’ve setup a dev instance on my home network which I’m currently developing against. I’ll put some screenshots up soon, but the Swatch code is currently enjoying a rewrite. The great news is that you’ll get ten times the flexibility you have now meaning greater support for light themes, although the downside is that there isn’t that much backwards compatibility meaning some of my own themes even need to be completely redesigned.

    However, this isn’t the end of the world. Once you’re familiar with the classes, it really doesn’t take long at all to create your own themes.

    More to follow.

    I’ll be putting together a video of what the revamped theme will look like very soon - just got some small issues to iron out, and code cleanup beforehand…

    And it seems to be less conflicting!
