Resetera Unofficial Dark Theme
- Thread starter A Strong Latte
- Start date
I hate doing CSS stuff, but I wanted to practice a little CSS. I don't know how much I'm going to finish working on this, but based on the dark theme in the OP I started working on a little something I'd like to call Soft Reset:
For those who don't quite want to let go, lol.
If there's any interest I may continue working on it. (Or even better, if someone else could work on something like this. :p)
This right here. This is why I clicked on this thread, I knew someone would make this. I'd never use a dark theme, but I just haven't gotten used to the design here, it's a bit too bright. I don't mind the purple but I was hoping someone did this or just alternate light themes. I love the idea of having various themes for the site. Please make this.
Where do i find Iso's download for the custom theme? Searching the thread but cant find it :(
While I'm constantly tweaking this monstrosity of a custom dark theme.... I'm pretty happy with the header area/breadcrumbs. Tried to find a way to consolidate a lot of that stuff while looking somewhat clean.
Iso can you see about fixing the tags for verified members? Here's what it looks like normally and what it looks like with your theme.

Any updates on this?
I definitely plan on working on it just because so many did express interest, lol. But I haven't gotten around to it yet because I've been rather busy with work and life, and I don't know how long it'll take (since I am sort of a CSS noob).
Something is up with the Notification Usernames. Seems ro be a problem with the site tho, not the theme. The usernames show up twice, once unbolded then bolded.
Edit* Never mind! It's just people without an avatar that their name displays there instead of being blank. Kinda makes sense but it looks strange as hell lol

Theme updated to fix a couple things with the new 'Top Posters' feature. The number of posts listed in this however, is on the very far right edge and incredibly hard to see right now... This is a site issue so I am going to leave it in hopes that a fix is put in place on the site's end.
Thanks! I'm glad that this update left DarkERA untouched, less work for me on that front. I am going to start converting my theme to NightERA, however. I'll upload it as a completely separate theme for those who want to continue using the old style. Not sure how long it will take to get a NightERA theme going, it looks like a ton of stuff is busted right now with a straight port of my theme. I'll post an update when I am further along.
NightERA's purples are too strident. Also, the text boxes are too narrow. I took a look, then switched back to DarkERA after a few seconds.
Looking forward to your new one when you get around to it. Someone posted a new one in the Version 1.4 thread.

Agree. Dark >>> Night. I tried it. Didn't like it.

First iteration uploaded. Lots broken. Still working on it :)
Biggest thing is the forum sections scrolling. I haven't fixed the background color on it yet, or added the ability to keep it at the top of the page, so it doesn't scroll with you.
Off to work now, but it should be quiet so I will hopefully get a lot done on this today!

This still has the issue with a lot of wasted space to the sides.
EDIT: NVM I didn't put the width ratio.
Alright I'm pretty happy with how the new theme looks. The profile page needs work still but for basic thread browsing/posting it should be pretty close to finalized. Question for people though: on the old dark theme, you could tell when a thread had unread posts based on the resetera icon's color, to the left of the thread title. With the new theme, it displays unread/threads with new posts as having their thread title bolded in the list of threads. I hate this, and have opted to remove the bolding completely. Anyone have suggestions on how to display unread threads now?
If anyone uses my new theme please let me know if you notice any weird things going on. One thing I've noticed is if you click the 'permalink' for a post (the post number) to automatically scroll to that post, with my theme it causes a weird refresh. Not sure how to get around that and I'm not sure why it's happening =/

Hmm I set the theme to NightEra on my phone and it worked for a sec but now everything is blank. I logged in here on my desktop and set it back to DarkEra and it works, but my phone is still just a blank black screen when I goto resetera.com
I cleared everything from my phone in terms of cache/etc. Android FF, no addons.
Anyone getting the same?
Edit: Nevermind, restarted my phone and it went back to default.

It's looking good. A few suggestions/ideas, some which you're already aware of (like the read/unread icon)
- Option to re-add the Read/Unread icons to the left of threads.
- Option to re-add the "Watched Threads" link at the top userbar.
- Option to have Pagination numbers always appear instead of only on hover.
- Set Font (the new theme's font seems thinner and harder to read, might just be me) and Font size.
Alright I feel like I'm very close to being done. Let me know if anyone see's anything way off the mark. I know a few things are messed up still (previously mentioned weird refreshing when click a post number in a thread & 2-factor login screen is a bit messed up atm), but otherwise am pretty content right now.
I'm still trying to determine if I can re-add the read/unread icons to the left, or at least figure out a different way of showing unread threads other than bolding the title. As for the Watched Threads link, I'm not even sure if I can re-add that with just CSS. Either way, I feel like enough people will complain that it will be re-added eventually so I just might wait for the admins to do it ^^.
I might try and resize the page numbers when in a thread-- they're ridiculously big for non-mobile devices.

I don't mind NightEra's UI at all, especially on mobile. Just swap out the purples from DarkEra and Im good. NightEra's purple is interesting...I like the matted purple more!
Turns out the weird refreshing when clicking these permalinks happens on default NightEra. Glad it's not something I can fix on my end :D
Also at some point today or over the next day or 2 I am going to remove the color choice between purple and orange and just leave purple for NightEra. Too much of a pain in the ass at this point. Orange is probably completely butchered still, haven't looked at it at all.

Thanks for all of your hard work Iso.
Your layouts make me browse this site way more than I would have otherwise.
The standard styles have never cut it for me. lol

Tried Night Era but gonna go back to Dark Era. I prefer the wider text boxes.
Also my #1 request is still not here: a soft refresh button on mobile. A godsend for data management where the site will only show you whatever new posts happened after you loaded the page for the first time. It also helps a lot when following a fast moving thread too. The one thing the old place had that I miss.

How do you make the text boxes wider? Is it somwsomet that can be done in our settings? Or does it require some plug in? Asking specifically for my tablet.
Any way to add back in the eye Icon next to threads that are watched, NightEra doesn't have them any more
Visually speaking I think this is the best them I've seen:

I honestly think it was a bad call to go with purple as the site's main color, it's a pretty hard color to implement without it coming off looking bad. The best thing that skin does it change the color scheme to a nice light blue.

Yeah, if you took this NightEra's UI with DarkEra's colors, it would be an excellent improvement.
