daker Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hello, During the last two days, i have been working on a new theme for https://trac.wildfiregames.com/, it's mainly based on the one used by the Django project, what do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leper Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Looks ugly just like the forums. What's the point of having washed out colours and low contrast text on something that is mainly about content only, and not about looking fancy? If we are going to change the theme for just one thing I'd vote for the forums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daker Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) @leper Thanks for the constructive feedback, i'll revoke my proposal and give a chance to someone else to do some fancy looking stuff.

Don't get ofende, the trac need be stay simple and primitive. Your design is good but no for a trac.mostly of users aren't artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunChleoc Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It would be great if you could help fixing the low-contrast text problem in the forums instead - I have posted some screenshots with the problematic areas underlined: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 There hasn't been really any complaints about the lack of color contrasts until it was put in. To be honest, that is the first time I have trouble accepting a modern, minimalistic design principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itms Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think the ugliness of the theme (the current one or the proposed one) is subjective and a bit irrelevant. The lack of contrast on the forums is a real problem because it can prevent people from participating at all. On the other hand I don't think we should care about people who think "oh this website is ugly I don't want to participate because it doesn't look modern". Those people are not motivated enough @daker Thanks for looking into updating the theme though. What we could maybe do is installing that theme without making it the default? That way it is available to the people who'd enjoy it. I can look into that when I upgrade Trac to the latest version, if that sounds good to you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest to use the Stylus add-on (do not use Stylish, it sends your personal statistics usage by default, while the Stylus fork doesn't) to test new (trac and/or forum) themes. One can also upload themes on https://userstyles.org/ @daker I prefer dark themes, have you ever thought of creating one? (for trac and the forum) ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not really sure you can install multiple themes, if it can be done i can provide the CSS and the site.html On 02/09/2017 at 4:39 PM, xanax said: @daker I prefer dark themes, have you ever thought of creating one?

Stan` Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Well you could use your browsers editor to edit it in real time if that helps. Else you could ask for access. @Itms @implodedok @feneur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
