tempStyle 3 Q&A

Can I continue to use the old styles?
Change can be difficult but we suggest you try using tempStyle 3 for a while to feel the benefits. Unfortunately we are retiring the old styles and starting today they will no longer be available for use.

Why is the page so narrow?
Click this icon

in the bottom left of any page.

But what about the dark and black themes?
tempStyle 3 was delayed while work on the dark and black themes was completed. You can find more information on how to select them above.

I prefer right handed navigation on mobile?
You can enable right handed navigation in your User Prefs > Mobile display settings > Right handed navigation menu.

I cleared my cache and now my custom style is gone! How do I get it back?
Unfortunately, this is not currently an option but we are looking into it.

I made a cool custom style! How can I submit it as an official preset style?

I have a suggestion to improve the new style!
Please let us know in the dedicated thread by clicking here.

I found something that doesn't look quite right!?
We are still working on the new skin and bugs and some sections of the site may have been overlooked when designing it. Especially if using a non-default style. If you find a bug or something that looks unpolished or in need of updating please let us know in the dedicated thread by clicking here.[/INFORMATION]

the profile picture dropdown list is too big on my laptop's screen (1366x768), nearly 1/3 of it is hidden off screen

and i can't find the menu to switch back to the dark theme

Custom colors from the old design -

Still not optimal, since some menu Items get stuck with white text on light colors, will tweak tomorrow.

But its a start.

First row of colors, from left to right:

f2f2f2 e6e7eb 798ea8 fdfdfd f5f6f7

Last color is slightly darker than second to last, because the new design kind of demands a separation there.

Second row of colors, from left to right:

2e5078 2e5078 94a6bb

Third color unchanged

I really like the new design, but I miss the little member badges already Also, some categories like admin do have special icons, while others like devs do not. I'd suggest to reimplement badges and icons (I mean its quicker for the eye than blank blue bars with text in it).

I'm trying to not complain like I always do there is a new theme, but this one seems to be an oversight:

On mobile now it's even more impossible to give someone a thumbs-up, to the point where I have to tap many times to either nothing to happen, misclick, or actually give someone a thumbs-up.

Please add a wider transparent border to all icons (the easiest solution I know as a webdev) so it'll be easier to tap them without misclicking!

First try at a reskin using most of the colors of the old theme:

First row of colors, from left to right:

f2f2f2 a3a9c2 798ea8 fdfdfd f5f6f7

Second row of colors, from left to right:

2e5078 2e5078 94a6bb

edit:

Quote box for color checking reference

This is a quote box.

Biggest problem still is performance on complex pages (f.e. https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-macos-linux-scripts-to-interface-with-android.531237/ ) stuttering on a netbook increased manyfold.

On Mobile, when you get new alerts, clicking on the alerts icon doesn't take you right into the alerts page or show you a pop up with the alerts. You have to select alerts on the sidebar.

Too compact... people have wide screens nowadays.

 

[smileyhead]

The ‘Books, Music, TV & Movies’ subforum's icon should be lighter to improve contrast on dark theme.

 

[Arcanuskun]

I really like the new UI. It is sleek. Good job gbatemp.

 

[PrincessLillie]

Report dialogue doesn't get styled right

 

[smileyhead]

New notifications don't get highlighted.

On Safari (13.0.4) the customization doesn't seem to work at all, its just stuck on "Custom" for me and I can't edit any of the options.

Other than that I really like the new design

Yeah there are multiple issues with Safari that we need to address.

 

[pLaYeR^^]

Yeah, many issues with Safari sadly. Also when you choose Darkmode, it first loads the normal design and afterwards the dark version.

Does this happen on every page load? What are your specs?

Yes, it happens on every load. I use a MacBook Pro 2016 i7, 16GB RAM and Safari 13.0.4.

I'm getting that on my iPhone 4S (Safari, iOS 6.1.3) too, but to be fair its rather impressive that the site loads at all on it

I don't get that on Firefox on my MacBook, not sure if it'd happen on Safari since it can't change theme...

I've made a minor change, can you tell me if it has made a difference?

I have cleared my website data for gbatemp and now it works fine.
But I still can't change the design because it doesn't open the drop down menu. I always have to clear the website data before changing the design.

Hmm ok. Unfortunately the change I made can't be fully applied at the moment so I'll have to revert the setting back but I'll work on improving it later.
