NationStates Dark Theme (Rift)

Ah yes, ghbuttons.css effectively rose in precedence earlier this year due to a performance change.

It appears that - at least on Dark Rift - the background of this nation's flag has changed from #FFFFFF (the original) to #BDBDBD. All other flags also appear to have a darker lilt to them. Is this an update that N-G hasn't told us about, or have I just failed to smell the difference until now?

You failed to smell the difference.

Actually I did it while throwing in some other unrelated hacks, since I vaguely remembered N-G mentioning it as something he wanted to do. I can reverse it if he wants.

Very well then. Could you make that apparent in the update logs next time?

It's not just the flags. The border around some indictators disappeared.

I'd appreciate if you reversed that and the darker flags.

by **[violet]** » Wed Aug 23, 2017 1:48 pm

Reverted changes since they are less unanimously welcomed than I expected.

Whoa, seems like quite a lot went on here while I wasn't checking the forums.

Anyway, I have some updates moving through the pipeline to fix some issues that I have seen with the N-Day² pages and the region tags, so that should be coming out shortly.

Not sure if dark error or admin dispatch making error.

EDIT: and this is a dark thingy - https://i.imgur.com/vyBxSmn.png

A new problem arose recently, probably a conflict with an update of the main rift theme.

Issue journals and stat icons have become unusually bright while the red alert numbers and the three freedom indicators seem half transparent. Quite tough on the eyes.

I tweaked some things. Can you post a screenshot & browser details?

by **Bedetopia** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 3:24 am

It's a bit difficult to notice the faded red number when looking at it like that, but it's definitely different from usual.

Happens on both Firefox v64 and Chrome v71.

Thanks for the screenshot -- that's how it looks to me, too.

For reference, here is how it looked before. I tried to target a few areas of the site that mixed very dark and very bright elements, such as you see here with notification numbers and the hovered newspaper. (Full saturation of the notification number isn't really apparent in the screenshot, but it's far brighter than everything else.)

I can see that the unhovered newspapers might be considered too bright now, though, and can tone those down if you prefer.

That would be much appreciated, along with toning down stat medal brightness.

Done!

Everything mentioned above seems fixed, though banners have now become too dark. I don't think themes should affect banners, especially custom ones.

EDIT: Stat icons were fixed on the nation page, but not on the issue answering page.

I thought I noticed some changes with the dark theme, and I agree with Bede about the previous look about a couple of days ago. It looks great now though! Love the new notification vibrance too, it really pops. Thanks, Violet! <3

Just wanted to kick this thread open, and see if there are any issues/comments with the theme. I plan on releasing an update in the near future to take care of a few issues here and there.

Yeah just a simple issue about the table=plain tag
Can you remove that roundy grey colour in Dark and make it clear just like Light table=plain

Interesting. I wasn't aware such a thing existed. I'll have to poke around with that a little bit to figure out just what is going on.

Edit: This is definitely something that's fixable. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Dark theme isn't working for me. It just gives me the regular rift theme when I turn it on but settings claims it's still dark theme. What is wrong?
