Is the prime theme meant to be all grey in the background? I'm sure it used to be of that inquisitor with the crow or raven on their shoulder.

This is Prime with a Grey background.

If you want a wallpaper you should pick one from the long list: bsn.boards.net/thread/15071/choose-forum-background-wallpaper

Not all themes will stay as we move to the next version of ProBoards.

Thanks for the help, it's been a long time since I used this forum. However on the blue theme (I think all the themes use the same box?) with the grey text box when in the long reply mode (after quoting) the I of the mouse cursor disappears into it. Makes it a bit hard to select text. The text box needs to be not grey.

I have a request oh dear design elves.

For ages now I've been bugged by a teeny little thing that I keep forgetting to mention. On prime, and perhaps some of the other backgrounds, the colour of the link text is light grey. When someone puts a link behind one word I often miss it as it's so similar to the colour of the regular text, especially on mobile screens.
Can you change it to something colourful?

Yay you're back! Also I agree that more obvious link colors would be helpful.

I fully support this. I can't tell a difference between text and links either.

There's still something off about the theme. Can't quite place it. Went with dark and it's mostly similar but I think something has been lost along the way. I think the parts where I read posts are now grey whereas they used to be black. To me, the black makes for easier reading.

I went with the dark theme and everything went dark, well grey, but still dark. The bit I really liked before was that the 'new' buttons were red. It caught the eye and made the threads with activity stand out. Is there any way to achieve that and still stay with the dark theme?

Optionally, and I'm the only one who might go for it. Is there a theme with soft colours? I like blue, but pastels or jewel tones might be a good option.

Thank you.

It depends upon how it's implemented.

Of course the main concern should be legibility but alternatives are always nice.

Try the "Legacy" theme instead of dark - it isn't too dark. Text is white, and links/usernames are orange on a dark background. The "new" icon is black with white text.

Are there any themes that allow for threads to appear on dark backgrounds with white text (as before)? Or do we already have any like that and I have completely missed the bloomin' obvious that's right in front of me (as per usual)? :lol:

(The brightness of the default white background is playing slight havoc with my light sensitivity, 'is all)
