Did we lose a Discourse theme?

Well dayum, I liked the new look!

Any way it could be on one of the skins, so them that wants it could choose it?

Okay, so as far as I can tell, the problems with the themes were due to the the upgrade to a new version of Discourse, as I said in the first place.

Probably something to do with Automatic Dark Mode color scheme switching and custom themes.

It looks like it’s now been quietly fixed (but not acknowledged).

When Discourse-Classic changed for me, it looked a lot like Straight Dope Light. Maybe that one will look better to you?

All of that is the same under Discourse-Classic except it’s on a white background now.

Back to the OP, things are back to how they were. I didn’t realize how it looked before. There’s a lot more white background with Discourse - Classic.

Oh good. Apologies!

We still have theme tweaks on deck, as my :gift: to everyone for being so patient with the software transition. So feel free to gather that feedback in the relevant theme topics, and please – screenshot if you can, it’s much easier to process theme feedback visually, rather than with words:

Thanks for the suggestion - I hadn’t looked at the other skins since last summer; practically forgotten they existed tbh. I’ve taken your advice and changed to Straight Dope Light.

Ooh, me too!

Yay, everything’s back to normal, it seems!

Ermmm, except… is it just me or have previews-on-mouseover (where you hover over a thread title) gone missing?

I’m still seeing them (using Firefox on a Mac).

I’ve apparently been using Discourse classic. The thing I like about this theme is that it’s easy to distinguish between the beginning and end of anyone’s post because the post has a white background but the rest of the page is a light grey. Text is black. For me, it’s easier to read. And the banner is white with just the SD logo in gold on blue, with the thread title as black on white.
