Mobile device peasantry.That's... incredibly stupid. Why would you force something of such dubious use to always be taking up a chunk of screen space?
I'm not sure what you're trying to show with that.[edit] made a quick and dirty MS Paint example to illustrate my point on the amount of space that could be gained on the screen by simply "tightening" everything up a bit:
That's already in place. Click the "Change width" link that's at the bottom of the page next to the style chooser. It sets the site's content's max width at 1270px.Can we also get a toggle for fixed site width so threads don't expand to be infinitely wide to the borders of my extra wide monitor?
Note this has been fixed. However, the only classes it shows are `style-light` or `style-dark`, no more detail than that.Technical note: The new themes are not updating the class of thehtml
element. They are instead all using the samestyle-light
class as the Light theme. Thestyle-***
class is useful for user CSS that can distinguish between themes.
I'd recommend at least having all the blackened themes use astyle-blackened
class, and maybe also add astyle-blackened-xxx
class for each variant (red, blue, high contrast, etc).
the amount of space freed up is space that'd be used for text, meaning less pointless scrolling up and down. QoL increase at no cost.
I'm happy enough with the new blackened themes. Thank you very much. Adds a lot of color and delineation. It looks much better now. (Though thebtext could still be whiter. It's still light grey on dark grey)As you've no doubt noticed, the new XF2 install has a limited number of styles compared to the old site. We are currently soliciting requests for new styles to add.
We've begun by installing the Blackened Pro theme, which is a straightforward adaptation of the Blackend styles from the old site. However, unfortunately, the other old-site styles mostly do not have such straightforward XF2 successors. Thus, we'll need to find new styles that satisfy the same prerequisites. We welcome posting candidates in this thread.
Note that there are both financial and technical limitations on the number of styles we can add to the site, so we can't simply add every option people suggest. Once there are some candidates, I'll edit this post to include a poll for which ones people prefer. Note that poll results are advisory, and final decisions remain with administration.
Update: We now have various color variations for the Blackened theme.
Update: The sticky navbar can now be disabled under User Preferences.
Yeah, but your image seems to be designed to show a contrast between the left and right halves. However there are no differences in the vertical space used on either side of the image.the amount of space freed up is space that'd be used for text, meaning less pointless scrolling up and down.

Wouldn't mind both in red, either. For the goths and edge lords.
Here to shill for Blackened Orange and Blackened High Contrast Orange.

The entire white space is the space gained, both horizontally by removing the silly borders, and vertically by squishing out the wasted space between forum items.Yeah, but your image seems to be designed to show a contrast between the left and right halves. However there are no differences in the vertical space used on either side of the image.
For everyone complaining about the sticky toolbar at the top, go into your site preferences menu (click your name at the top of the page and click preferences), then look for the "Sticky header navbar" setting (it's below the editor selection). Check the "disable" checkbox.
There is a button at the bottom of every page labeled changed width.Last request, until I think of something else, could we please get the ability to change the screen margins as on SB/SV?
