How to change Forum Theme

[Colif]

As you probably already noticed, the default theme for Tom's has changed.
There is also a dark theme
To access it,
1. go to the Settings screen

2. Click on the Styles Box & CLick the Toms Dark

3. And then click save
Forums will swap to Dark theme.
To swap back, just repeat step 1 and choose Toms Hardware

There were several forum styles other than the "Tom's Hardware" ones available, can't remember exactly what they were called. The recent update which added the dark theme seems to have removed these other themes. Was this on purpose, and if so, why?

Edit: I think the themes I'm referring to may have been called "Modern UI".

yeah, just noticed, my favorite ones too. not tom's, don't like them, now i am forced to live with their dark theme

 

[Colif]

I don't know a lot but I believe they haven't finished yet

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Everything just looks odd now.

 

[velocityg4]

It seems like the one I was using was more condensed. Don't care for the change.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Agree. This theme makes it harder to tell the difference between a thread with new posts and one without.

 

[Colif]

to be fair, the old theme made it hard to tell which had and hadn't been looked at. The perfect answer would be to have highlighting so the yellow highlighted posts are unread, or something like that.

 

[Colif]

Dark theme + dark reader makes it even blacker

 

[NightHawkRMX]

The black aesthetic isn't bad. In fact I'm using dark mode right now.

Just preferred the old look.

 

[Deleted member 14196]

me too.

 

[Colif]

we shall see, you weren't only ones to ask for old theme back

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

What happened to the Modern Themes , they looked nice.

Look here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/why-were-some-forum-themes-styles-removed.3491109/

you weren't first to ask. Also mentioned in discord.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

THAT'S NOT GOOD...I like the others...

 

[Colif]

you need to talk to @Johnny5 or above as I just making the threads, I wasn't the one who made the theming choices

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I will after my account is FULLY restored. They originally said adding themes , not taking away. I thought the idea was more choices. Oh well. See you when my account is restored.

 

[Colif]

Fully restored and operational Dark Lord... reminds me of Star wars... we may not be prepared for that 😀

I think people were expecting an additional option. Not removal of old themes. In the grande scheme of things it's not a big deal. Just something worth noting.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Change is inevitable.

If i get used to this theme and they add the old theme back I would probably stay with this one so I didnt have to change again.
