New forum theme - Shades of Blue

[Jon]

Before we had the light theme, called default. I added Shades of Grey. Now we also have Shades of Blue. So take your pick!

 

[Jon]

Yes, I agree. I liked Shades of Grey, but the blue adds a bit of colour! The forums keep getting better and better!

 

[Gasman]

I wasn't a fan of Grey, now Blue on the other hand?

 

[isladogs]

I agree. I couldn't use the original dark theme as I found it added to my eye strain.
I'm trialling the new blue shades and so far I like it.

 

[Gasman]

I might swap back to Default during the day and Blue for evening/nights

In the old days I used to have my command window, yellow on blue.

 

[Jon]

The thing I have found is that I never realised how much eye strain I had with the bright colours of the default. When you start to get used to the dark themes, there is far less squinting at the screen, for me at least. I have green eyes and apparently they let in a lot of light. I always need sunglasses when its bright outside.

Try switching back to the default theme after using one of the dark themes for a while. You will soon see what I mean.

 

[Gasman]

I have green eyes also and I use Flux on my laptop to lessen the strain on my eyes.

On thing about this Blue, the word Flux is a link, but does not appear as one.?

Ah OK, not obvious until Save.

 

[Jon]

Yeah, I got Flux too.

 

[isladogs]

Isn't the use of flux now redundant with the advent of the Night Light feature in Windows 10

 

[Jon]

I am using a Mac most of the time.

No idea TBH. I've just had it on my computer since Vista.

 

[AccessBlaster]

I have the Flux Capacitor is that the same..

 

[AccessBlaster]

Still have to watch parts of that movie every time it's on!

 

[arnelgp]

when you Press New post, the reminder (bell) blink red (for number of unread msg).
there is no issue like this before.

 

[Jon]

When I click New post, nothing like that happens. Have you cleared your browser cache?

 

[Isaac]

for me every time I load the page - or do anything whatsoever that refreshes the page/notification, the red notification number will blink somethin random, like "7", or "15", just for a second, then disappear.

i did go to my chrome settings and under the timeframe "All Time", I cleared the option for cookies/data cache as well as cache images/files
no change to the flashing, except now it lingers for an extra half second or so.

 

[Jon]

I cannot replicate that error. Can you do a little video for me so I can see what you mean?

 

[Isaac]

I will grab a little screen recording tonight after work. Not sure how angry the corporate A.V. gods would be at me if I tried to use a screen recorder at work. Ha. One time I tried to upload a .vbs file, inside a zip file, to AWF, and me + my manager got an automated email from I.T. within 30 seconds.
Dang! Harsh.

 

[Jon]

Seems like the corporations tie everything down to stop an unruly staff.

 

[Isaac]

I'd like to think their schemes tend to catch some ruly ones, too - but yes
