No reason really, just wanted to know what peoples' druthers were. I'm kinda torn myself, because I can read easier on the lighter theme but I'm not used to have Updated Topics on the right-hand side.

I love it! But I definitely need to get used to it!

Bolsters

I'm already back to Dramatic Turnings. I definitely prefer the light themes, and I am so used to the ADTOE theme now that I will probably use it indefinitely.

"A apple?"

Is this about the new theme, or...?
It is about the new theme! The apple line is an old Honeymooners reference!

I really like the new look!   :tup

I prefer the light theme better, it's kinda too dark for me, even though I frequent another forum that always uses dark colors.  The former light colors here balances it out.

I was really fond of the old dramatic theme, so I kept GREAT light theme. The dark one is amazing too, though, and I might switch to it at night to fit the outer environment!

Good job, Mr. Mod!  :tup

Progmetty

The colors are the same to me as they've been for a couple of years cause I had that theme on but still I really like the new album layout up there.

>:(  XJ, when is the Friday-Theme-Reprise going to be available again?  I think Zook needs a hearty dose of comic sans.

jasc15

Changed back to Core Theme.

And whats "Twelth Space"?

BlobVanDam

The dark theme is beautiful, but dark themes destroy my eyes, so it's light for me.

Great work on the new themes. :tup It just wouldn't be DTF without a fresh set of themes for each new album.

A space themed layout based on the twelfth album taking into account as a physicist I can't f-ing spell "twelfth".

And Comic Sans should be kryptonite to anyone with functional eyes.

It should be possible to alter the post template to filter based on username and override the font in css to comic sans. As a special treat to you and Zook.

No problem to me, as I haven't had Comic Sans on my computer in a decade, so it would just default to Times New Roman. :biggrin: You'd have to stick it on an image for me to see it. Is that really worth it just to spite me?





I really hope not. :lol

Zook

Eh, comic sans never bothered me. And I've said something about the wrong font with the old theme as well. Lazy bastards.

Went immediately back to the BC&SL light theme
