Changes to the Satellite Guys Default theme?

Advertisements
My one issue is that there's not parity between design motifs. I'll explain. here, the forum list uses a simple alternating color table with bold titles. Neither have anything to do with read/unread forums

Here, unread threads have a color applied to it. Given that both unread and read threads now use the same bold title font, it's hard to immediately translate that this is an unread thread because the previous page the table shading has nothing to do with read/unread.

My suggestion is to get rid of the alternating row color tables on the homepage and then revert back to the titles being unbolded for read threads.

Other than that, I dig the new design a lot.

Using the Default Style, things look much better! No side-to-side issues, and now the new color for the header and bars is consistent. No flashing when reloading/refreshing the page!🥳

I do agree as the post by Jamie shown above is not Bold and is an old message. But its hard to tell its not bold.

I am looking into it.

But its still east to tell whats new as it has the big NEW graphic next to it. :)

But I am trying to find a way to make it clearer.

In reality the real changes were a new modern looking header. Colors updated to match the header. I removed all the font changes which I didn't like either.

So on a computer the site is exactly the same just with those changes.

However on mobile devices there were a lot of changes there to make the site more mobile friendly. On mobile devices it is much more streamlined, showing more content on one screen and faster as a lot of unneeded stuff was removed.

Still a few tweeks to do but I am 97% happy with it now. And I am not into Dark styles, but I think the new Dark looks amazing. :D
 
Here's an update on the Mobile WebApp version using Safari on my iPhone 17 running iOS 26.6.1 - When I go to refresh the page by pulling down from the top of the page, it uses the "old" Default color, not the new Default color.

Also, there still appear to be some elements that are slightly wider than others, which allows the page to pan side to side after loading. If I pinch together with two fingers to zoom out, it fixes the width problem and there is no panning after that.

Scott, this appears to be working now. It might have been an old cached style page which is now fixed.

edit: and, having said that, it just happened again.🙄 After it zooms out, I attempt to pan left & right and nothing happens:

Give this a shot again.

On chrome... should make no difference, but when I mark all Forums Read, now all forums and posts are now UNREAD. :eek
I am not seeing this one... if you mean the look bold still, that is something I am working on.

But the new posts say NEW to the right of them.

Hopefully I have this one scratched off the list next. :D
