Red or Green board display?

[Pixelpiper]

i hate that if you clean your history it goes back to the red. I am not about to start changing it to green every time i clean it... :/

It's not the history, but the board's cookie file that's storing the theme selection. This only happens if you use the QUICK THEME SELECTOR at the bottom of every page.

If you want to make the change persistent, use the board's database-stored preferences system:

Go to SETTINGS and then GENERAL SETTINGS. Then look at the third option from the bottom for Theme. Set it here and it should survive any privacy settings on your browsers as well as apply to different browsers and computers.

Does it really matter at this point?

Does what matter? That people have a choice?

This thread was going to be more of a heads up so people knew about the new option.
I decided to add a poll to see what people preferred

I switched to old school green. I like that more after looking at it

Are the forum sections not aligned under the pictures when using green skin for everyone or is it just me? It's bugging me.

I don't know but it doesn't bother me

The green theme's header section at the top, showing the board logo and referral squares, is set to a fixed size (1150 pixels). But since the container holding the header and the forum is variable width, this header stays centered in the display.

On the previous theme the header takes up 100% of the width of the container around it, and the container around it is itself a fixed size. The effect is that the whole forum is centered and the header's left and right align with the forum content.

If you are using my overrides, then the forum is also variable, but the logo and referral parts of the header move and grow with the window (because their container doesn't have a set size), so they also remain aligned.


Green theme:

.header-container {
   padding-top: 5px;
   width: 1150px;
   margin: 0 auto;
}

Width could be left out or set to 100% to address this.

Definitely green for me.

Thanks for the option, Dave!

I chose old school green. A bit easier for my eyes.

I've used red and green today. It's good to mix it up.

I don't like either really, I'd love a dark theme but I will be using the green one for now as it doesn't make your eyes bleed...

A nice addition to the green option would be thread titles in the new posts list that aren't blue. Or, paler backgrounds.

Yeah okay the green is easier to digest. Maybe it's because it's warmer and gives the viewer a sense of familiarity.
