Forgot to mention that I also reduced the intensity of the default font from 400 to 300

good job my friends

Where did the swatch dropdown go?

Glad you noticed It’s gone, but not forgotten. It’s been replaced by a single icon you can cycle to get the theme you want (based on Luminate, Dusk, and Tenebrous, or Light, Dusk, and Dark for the uninitiated). On both desktop and mobile, you can find it at the top where the “Swatch” dropdown used to live.

.

Note that when you access the site for the first time, things might look a bit odd. Just tap and cycle the theme icon and you’ll get to where you want.

Awesome job with this site. Thank you for creating it and having a presence on here as well.

Personally I have a lot of themes, you know that.

LOL

Even if overall I have very few changes to make, your idea is still very interesting and I ask myself questions.

Do you think you’ll share the code for this new theme selector so we can test it ? or are you keeping it as your own code?

In any case, the idea seems very good to me because having just icons is I find less invasive than a selector with menu

No, the intention is to share it once I have it stable. There’s a couple of bugs I need to fix before release.

Hi all. Hope you’re enjoying the changes being made to the platform in terms of overall layout and themes.

If things look a bit odd, reload your browser and select from one of the three themes available.

This, from my perspective is the best Sudonix has looked since it’s inception. I’m still making changes here and there and you’ll see plenty more of these materialising over time.

Several of these changes require new code to be applied in order to generate the best possible experience.

At this point I’m looking for feedback to ensure the changes are received positively.

[Madchatthew]

I think your site looks great! You have been doing an amazing job with the changes and I really like the looks and feel of Sudonix.org.

@DownPW here’s v3 of the theme switcher code. Note the category badge changes… This specific version has been codenamed “Peperami” - because it is a bit of an animal in terms of structure, and needs simplifying and cleanup.

But, it’s working…

[DownPW]

peperonni or Pepperoni lol

@DownPW Pepperami

Your site is looking great! Every time I log in it looks better and better when I didn’t think it was possible.

Couldn’t agree more, very impressive. I think I read on the NodeBB forum a few weeks ago that this forum is a fantastic example of customisation, you can see why .

CSS changes are also good for SEO right!? .

Yes, I read the same. Felt quite honoured and flattered at the same time.

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

@phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic.

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.
