WHOA a new style

WHOA a new style

green on purple...

[Redeye]

Yes, after like a year of nagging, prodding, and et cetera, we FINALLY have a dark theme! Say hello to Ponigala!

I do hope you enjoy it, from what I understand this was a lot of work including a whole new set of customized icons to work on the dark BG, and we should all thank Numsoic a whole hell of a lot for making it.

[Scuderia Ferrarity]

now thou shalt know the True Power of the Princess of the Niiiiiiiight!

And?
... that's it ...

WELCOME TO MOONSIDE!

[Mr. BigGood boy, Perry!]

For what its worth, I set my skin back to the usual (Thank you, User Control Panel!)

[Crow.Why, of course!I'm clearly insane! .]

[naahdudenever ever blinks]

You don't think the colors clash just a teensy bit?

[Grilox]

I switched it back to Ponisilver because it's the Celestia-est theme

[Whitenoise PosterI am going to eat this entire oak tree because I am a powerful wizard!]

I like it. Since it changed in the middle of the night I feel like I accidentally slipped into dark ponygoons and now enemies will take more ammo to kill.

edit Why are my words still in black?

Okay, this is odd. Your latest post made shows up in black text, but as soon as you make another one, it turns to white. And only for your own view!

[Whitenoise PosterI am going to eat this entire oak tree because I am a powerful wizard!]

That is the weirdest glitch. Technology is dumb.

[PingcodePinkie! Stop ringing the @$#! service bell!]

Quite the surprise, ponigala showing up out of nowhere. Swapped it back to ponisilver, though, since it's still daytime and the dark theme is straining.

[All Out Of Nickelshow would one go about putting a bloom on a apple...Its horrendous...]

This Ponygala somehow makes me think this is some shady backally slums of the internet, of course not that it is, but thats what comes to mind.

Looks like some Emotes don't hold up too well in ponygala.
However it does match my Avatar.

[Crow.Why, of course!I'm clearly insane! .]

I changed my setting back to PoniSilver and then to Ponigala (set at the moment) and while my settings say, "Ponigala" it remains displaying ponisilver.


Edit: I went back into the control panel and it showed "ponisilver," I've changed back to ponigala and everything seems to be working again.

Edit2: I'm having the same thing as Whitenoise Poster, this post is showing in black text, and some a few other posts from other posters are showing in black texts.

Edit3: It appears to be the last post in every thread I browse showing up in black text.

Feedback: I like it, it's much easier on the eyes.

[IsaakEquus Ludens :3]

Ooh, stark contrasts.

That was quite the surprise. I dig the Spike look this has, but it does clash with the emoticons and avs people have here.
Maybe a bit less saturation? Tone down the contrasts, dial it towards something darker, lower the amount of colours, make it a bit more... uniform?

It's definitely easier on the eyes, so that's a good thing

e: black text here as well, running Chrome.

[Crow.Why, of course!I'm clearly insane! .]

Check again, is this post in black text (while it's the last post in the thread) or is yours still back text (as it no longer is the last post)?

I should probably mention, I'm also running Chrome.

[IsaakEquus Ludens :3]

Both are white now.

e: this one's black for me

[FrosthawkI don't mind straight people, as long as they act gay in public.]

I really like the idea of a dark skin, it's a more proper reflection of my cold heart.

[IsaakEquus Ludens :3]

The black text bug also rears its antennae dotted head when previewing a post.

[Gruekinda magical]

ponisummer is best theme

[Grimhi]

I like dark themes. They make me feel like a vintage computer hacker.

All I need now are a bunch of beeping/blinking doodads built into my desk and an Atari joystick for maximum digital maneuverability.

[PhoolCatKeep on Trottin']

GAH! Hello, High Contrast #2! *runs back to the comforting arms of ponisilver*

Also anyone who got upset earlier from doing that thing Kefka said not to discuss gets a hug.

As does Kefka.
And everyone else

So I saw the Avengers movie the other day.
I think it has the same plot as The Return of Harmony.
Dear Nick Fury...

From the last thread:
Just stay awake. Eyes on me.
No. I'm clocked out here.
Not an option.
It's okay, princess - this was never going to work... if they didn't have something... to...

[The great MPinke Torte das Pony.---]

New theme is great, but I think I'll stick to ponisilver, generic as it looks.

I still want a primarily gray theme, though, like SA has. I like my internet forums gray and boring and depressing .

[numsOic]

I'm really embarrassed about the new theme. It was intended to go into general testing mode, not intended to be forced upon anyone. I didn't actually tell Cosmo this, so I admit full responsibility.* Anyway, yes, as soon as I tried the theme in actual use I saw the glaring color clashes that I could not preview, especially in the icons, and a lot of bugged colors which are merely summer theme colors I didn't catch. I remember ponisummer was almost as incomplete as this upon release, with the excuse that it was made in a hurry and literally changing colors blindly in notepad, but it worked out in the end. For those who enjoy the idea of a dark theme (and I kinda do), fixes will be gradually rolled out. Assuming Cosmo gives me his edited, proper phpBB stylesheets, any further changes should be relatively easy.

[AramekYour MRI results have shown total infection to now be approximately one fifth of the full mass of the tissue."So you're saying..."Your brain is about 20% tumor.]

I use the Ponysilver theme because it is the, uh, least... conspicuous from across the room. I don't need people seein' ponies at my station.

[kefkafloyd]

At some point ponisilver and ponigala should transform into Shine and Play, at least, if I had my way.

[Pink Himalayan Saltsee this watch? i got it by Crying. my car? crying. my beautiful wife? Crying. My perfect teeth? Crying. now get the fuck out of my office]

When you say 'ponigala' I image it as Pony Gala, like a party. You walk in a room and BAM! A party of colorful ponies. You look around in confusion. The exit is no longer there. There is no remnant of your world. Did you really survive that accident...

I think those would be fantastic color schemes for the forum. Someone get on it

Noooo don't take ponisilver away from meeeee

That would be SO un-Celestia.

[Herr GeneralThese chips are more interesting than your posts.]

I want a Rainbow Dash theme.
Scratch that, I want a theme for ALL the ponies.

[nuclearsuplex]

Scratch that, I want a theme for ALL the ponies.

A theme for all the ponies... possibilities:

• Every post gets a random pony color.
• Split the screen into six vertical sections. Text changes from color to color as it enters Pinkie Pie, Rarity, etc.
• Change the entire color palette every 100 ms.

[MordjaLYRA is the cool pony who likes to hang out. You can find most of the cool ponies with her. LYRA can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the LYRA motto, for example, that's how laid back she is.]

Real fans use Jefferson Starship.

[ROBOT B9I am just about to be BRILLIANT!]

I tried Jefferson Starship once and I think my eyes bled. (It was a nice trip down memory lane...)

[Killing Vector]

Then you'd have to make a Strive theme and turn ponisummer into that.

[Redeye]

Then you'd have to make a Strive theme and turn ponisummer into that.

It's more likely that we'd base the theoretical Strive theme off ponisummer. Not that I wouldn't be in support of having options for all the ponies! It might be a bit extraneous but I like the idea.

"If there are just as many men as there are girls who love My Little Pony, doesn't that make My Little Pony just as masculine as it is feminine?"

Oh god dammit

[Ashenai You're dorkin' up the skies, Twilight Sparkle.]

Eh, their heart is in the right place. Most of it was good, and it's certainly a more positive narrative overall than some other news outlets have decided to go with.

Also, they showed a little bit of Polka is Magic

[BartonFink]

I won't touch the masculinity thing in either direction but that crew thoroughly did their homework on that. It dodges a lot of the pitfalls other articles tend to fall into. Nicely done!

Probably the difference of it being an internet based channel, heh.
