Changes to the Satellite Guys Default theme?

[Foxbat]

OK hows this? Can you tell the difference now?

I refreshed and I'm seeing it in the SatelliteGuys Default Mobile Style.

 

[telstar_1]

Which style are you using Default (light) or Dark?

It's fixed. On default afaik. Top banner is dark.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Only in the picture you posted but not in the actual threads.

I am guessing you are on Dark. I am working on that one now.

Not fixed on desktop PC, Firefox.

Nope Default

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

There we go on dark.

Default now please...

If you look at the Forum Home Page, all the Forum Titles are Bold. The Conversation Icon is different between Unread and Read. That I can live with, even if it is a change in appearance from before.

Ran that one through AI and here is what it says...

Yes, I can view it, and the video is useful.

The main mobile problems I can see are:

• The forum-view controls are too crowded on mobile: "50 threads per page / Mark read / Ignore / Watch" are squeezed into one line and look tiny.
• The thread list rows still feel desktop-like, with too many little controls/page-number chips competing for space.
• In thread view, the post action row is very cramped on mobile.
• The mobile post cards are too tall in places because author badges/user info and quoted content stack aggressively.
• The sticky/mobile header width and top spacing look better than before, but there is still some inconsistent vertical spacing when moving between forum view and thread view.
• The blue "Users Who Are Viewing This Forum/Thread" bar takes up a lot of valuable mobile space and could probably be hidden on phones.
• The pagination/action controls around posts are too compressed and visually noisy.

So yes, there are definitely real mobile issues in that recording—not just user perception.

The good news is that most of this is CSS cleanup rather than anything structural in XenForo. I'd tackle the mobile forum view and thread view together and make them intentionally mobile-first rather than just compressed desktop layouts.

So we are working on it... Lol.

Not viewing on mobile device, never do. Firefox on desktop PC here.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok mobile changes made.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Not fixed on desktop PC, Firefox.

Please send me a screenshot of what your seeing, I think we are looking at two different things.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Since this is 100% CSS changes... I have made a SatelliteGuys Classic theme, which is the old theme without CSS changes.

Even when I view a thread and know all posts have been read within it if I go back to the Latest posts list everything is still bold as shown below.

Also, clicking on Unread posts does nothing, just takes me back to Latest posts.

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.

You are correct. Still bold after marking read.

Thanks for everything you do!!!

Both are working for me, no actual operating code has been changed here. Only thing changed was the CSS which is basically putting lipstick on the pig (lol) it just changes they way things look. Not the way they work.

Try switching to the SatelliteGuys Classic and see if your still having issues.

Thanks for making the classic theme. The combination of my browser's dark extension and the classic theme, makes it much easier on the eyes.

When I click on the What's New tab it does not change the tab color to the brighter blue. No matter which tab you click on the Forums tab always is the bright blue tab. The tabs should change to bright blue when you click on them. Also when clicking on the "What's New" tab the "Mark as Read" button to the right of the topic titles is no longer there. That was handy to mark it as read if it doesn't interest you. Dark theme on Safari on iPad and Firefox on macOS Tahoe.

Edit: clicking on the "SOCIAL FEED" it does turn blue but none of the other tabs changes to blue.

Upon switching from Default to Classic theme the already read threads now display correctly as not bold, unread ones are bold as expected. So the Classic theme is what I will use. Not sure what is going on with Default theme but that pig is pulling a fast one.

I removed the mark as read from each post on the dark style, as it was never supposed to be there and does not match the other style. We have the different mark read available.

THe other things you pointed out "should" be working now. I say should as I can't check it as I am on a conference call on my cell phone currently. (yeah I am multitasking)
