Do you use a style other than default Prosilver?

[matt]

I want to get a sense for what people are using here. Early on I made a lot of styles/themes available, but later discovered that not all styles have the same features available. Some look a lot better, but don't have things like changing the subject of reply posts, or some have better usage of icons/colors than others.

We may need to cut down the selection to simplify variables. So I just want to get a sense for what people are using. For example, I much prefer the look of the Breeze style, and I think it makes better use of color highlighting, but it doesn't show changed post subjects.

So. What are you using?

[AlexLachance]

I use Carbon. I like darker shades for browsing, easier on the eye.

[mike miller]

I use Breeze. Carbon isn't bad either.

[Jaylin Hochstetler]

I use Breeze.

[VicFrauenfeld]

I am using Supernova.

[MJuric]

Flat Style blue was the first one I clicked on and it was better than the default so that's what I'm using.

[Merovingien]

Flat style gold

it's better to see read-unread at the front page,
it have some "dark color" to rest my eye,

and url are easier to see in a post.

I'm using plain Flat style. Flat Style Blue is too similar to the 0DSWYM site and I'm angry at them at this moment.

@matt Can we get the cool, retro CAD Forum logo on the other styles as well?

[SPerman]

Carbon Dark.

ok, that should be done now. If you don't see it, blow away your cache for today and F5 (reload).

I'm using dark mode. I prefer dark backgrounds over a face full of bright, always have.

I'd answer but I see no other styles besides "dark mode" and "light mode". Poked around the user control panel and didn't see anything.

- Go to User Control Panels (little arrow next to your user name at the top of the window)
- board preferences
- edit global settings
- My board style.

The actual answer is "Open your eyes, you dummy!"
Thanks!

Ok. After a bunch of checking (wish it auto updated after selecting a style), I settled on Flat Gold - Dark Mode

[SPerman]

I had to switch back to one of the default themes. Some people (@mattpeneguy ) insist on using blue text and it is miserable in either the dark or light version of carbon.

Hey, @matt gave us the sarcasm tag. Not having that was a huge problem for me on the old forum. So, I'm taking advantage of it here!

[Jaylin Hochstetler]

I switched to the Supernova and like it so far.

[dave.laban]

Currently using Breeze as it was the first one I found with a decent font size while the browser was at 100% zoom, some of the others I had to zoom in to be comfortable on the eyes.

Yeah, I agree. I used Breeze for a while, but I've had to switch a few times. I'm using Elegance now.

Here's a chart with which style has what features.

[MaineSpring]

Carbon Dark. I prefer to limit the bright glare of white-based themes.

[SPerman]

I gave Breeze a try, but cannot find the "first unread post" link with that style.
