SITE WIDE UPDATE: New Default Style 7/20/20 10:20PM EST

[LightWingStudios]

I like the orange myself. It's one of my favorite colors and much easier to read than the old AGF theme with red text or whatever it was.

Me, too. I have zero issues with this theme.

I actually went thru the 16 late yesterday but was tired after a long day...don't ask. I opted for the "Orange" one mainly for readability of ALL the different board sections. So I decided to let it go for the night and go thru them again after getting some sleep and clearing my feeble brain out with 2 cups of coffee in the AM. LOL!

5) This new "Style" has SIXTEEN DIFFERENT Color Schemes too so I may be rotating them in and out until I settle on one in particular so don't get your panties up in a bunch.

6) Once one of the sixteen is selected as the new Default Style, I will re-enable the original "Pro-Silver" Style and you can opt to select that as YOUR DEFAULT in your User Control Panel if you don't like the new Default Style.

Let us know what you think.

Well in all fairness if this is directed at me this original post has been updated with the info above in the time since my response, it didn't initially mention any different color schemes available but simply said this is the new look and asked for us to provide feedback so that's what I did.

And thank you for taking my suggestion on the logo change, even though it's wronghanded . Love the look of this one a lot, and as a fellow Agile AS-1000 owner (hi @mickey !) this is really awesome to see. Always neat to pay tribute to your roots. Thanks again for all the work you're putting into this, super psyched to see this all coming together!

Not at you by any means. Yeah I did an update before the 2nd cup of coffee kicked in and my wife threw her $.02 in.

THE LOGO MAY INDEED CHANGE.

The AGF logo takes up half the page, it should be a lot shorter.

I like orange but the intensity in this situation hit me like a load of bricks yesterday.

Today it doesn't seem so in-my-face. Have you toned it down or am I starting to get used to it?

In any case, in my opinion you are definitely going in the right direction style wise.

I'm now finding the message text a little hard to read, though.

And it looked a lot better with a lefty AS-1000 gold top!

Bear with us, it's definitely a work in progress, and once I find the right code I can lighten the message text, which I think should help

Patrick is the psychedelic king it seems, so I'll leave the bold stuff to him!

Text color change in the CSS?

It IS different for sure but a pretty cool compromise in functionality and readability.

Dare I say it?

WE'RE LIVIN' ON THE EDGE OF WETNESS!!!

I'm trying to find a way to have no logo on mobiles to help, but this theme is fully responsive, so designed to resize for any device.

You're getting used to it. We're looking into "tweeks" like making the message text WHITE instead of light grey...bear with us.

Nice work. It feels a bit more homey. I'd say this is a bit less readable but as I'm typing this white lettering on the charcoal background is very nice. Maybe the background with the lighter font ? Thanks for all the good work.

I am definitely liking the gray background with reddish headers/URL's and gray text on the full screen PC. The header is a bit large on both platforms, but i can live with that. Did you say we'll have the ability to change themes on our own eventually too?

Yes you can. I UPDATED the original post so go back to that on Page One and there is a procedure.

Looks good. Thanks again for the work...

I'm getting dumped back to the regular blue/white theme on the homepage and the new theme when I go into a post. Even cleared my cache and still doing it.

[UrenragK]

I've modified the gray post text to a lighter style now, hopefully that has solved the readability issues.

Please feed back, so we know we are headed the right way

I like the dark. Looks awesome.

Go to your User Control Panel, Board Preferences, select "Milk v2" from the "My board style" drop down menu and click "Submit". Page should refresh in a few seconds.

Let me know if that takes care of it.

I'm not seeing a difference. Do I need to do a clear-cache routine?

The contrast while posting is great, the contrast while browsing could still be improved, to my eyes.

Take these comments with a grain of salt, my eyes may have contrast sensitivity issues.

[UrenragK]

Yes, if you're not seeing the change, clear cache and reload the site

[Houblues]

There we go...

All in all, I'm really liking this.

That seems to have fixed it. Thank you! Keep up the great work!
