Do you like /x/'s current look? Do you wish it was different, perhaps darker? Let me know in this thread.

Edit: Oh wait, I'm an idiot. I forgot that 8chan already has two dark themes, "Dark" and "Tomorrow", that users can choose from the Options -> Theme menu. "Tomorrow" is actually quite nice.

it's quite spoopy tbh

I like the standard board look, maybe a darker blue, but don't go mental like /fringe/, that shit looks like arse.

Mr. Anderson 02/16/17 (Thu) 09:40:21 No.29557

it looks the same as all the other boards. unless there's some option i've ticked that i've forgotten about to disable chan css or something. but a nice night-mode grey palette would be appealing.

I don't wana' be the 'muh culture' guy but I prefer the current default theme because it isn't as over the top school project tier CSS as some boards that do that kind of thing. It could still be a nice touch as long as you keep it subtle and don't fuck up the layout.

For now I've decided to leave the current theme as it is. Most people seem to like it and I would probably ruin it if I tried to improve it. Also because dark themes are available from the Options menu for those who want them.

I think having a board specific theme fosters a better sense of community. It doesn't have to be major, but something subtle could be nice.

Isn't that what banners are for?

Mr. Anderson 02/20/17 (Mon) 04:56:14 No.29649

Don't fuck up the board with excessive custom css.

This. Don't pull a /wx/ and cuck the board up like Lem did.

Definitely need better css fam. I'd suggest a greyish ATS look

X files even

it's too dark to the point of being uncomfortable. like uncomfortable to read.

You mean there's not enough contrast between text and background?

Mr. Anderson 03/10/17 (Fri) 01:29:17 No.30838

Not that anon, but yes. If you want dark, it's better to have black or much darker background with grey writing. Grey on slightly different shade of grey is hard to read. White text on black background is apparently straining on the eyes according to design psychologists. So keep the grey text, just make background darker..

>make the backround even darker

fuck you and your mega stupid way of thinking. I'm sorry, but you just made me so mad by suggesting that. peace and love.

I like the old /x/. just normal text on that blue backround. the threads and discussion make the board not some headache inducing layout.

Mr. Anderson 03/10/17 (Fri) 16:18:50 No.30844

You guys are aware that you can select your favourite style for each board, right?

Mr. Anderson ## Board Owner 03/15/17 (Wed) 18:21:12 No.30946

Okay, I've changed the background of the reply post to a darker grey, I hope the text is readable for everyone now. I've also changed the colour of greentext for the same reason.

Mr. Anderson 03/15/17 (Wed) 20:33:47 No.30947

It doesn't really matter

It's all the same

honestly i like the old design better but this one is objectively ok.
