El Presidente Roland Posted February 6, 2020 El Presidente Share Posted February 6, 2020 I have added a light theme to the website. It is light in two meanings - first and most obvious one is that it uses light colors instead of dark, for better readability. Second, it is light in terms of features and resources - it does not display backgrounds, avatars, signatures, titles, various media Premium perks and things like that. This is ideal if you have limited bandwidth for example. This results in a faster, more compact and cleaner experience of the forums, if you prefer that. And it's great for browsing the forums at work Benchmarks, opening main forum page, no browser cache: Default: 94 requests, 7.8MB transferred, 9.2MB resources, finish 1.81s Light: 76 requests, 583kB transferred, 2.0MB resources, finish 1.55s Some pages won't look good using the light theme, and that's OK. It's primarily aimed to be used for forum browsing and reading. Themes can be switched at the bottom of the page. 2 Link to comment
Media Team Nozzy Posted February 6, 2020 Media Team Share Posted February 6, 2020 What's wrong with the dark theme? JK but on phones i bet the light theme is better for loading and browsing the website. So people who use the website on their phone will have a much easier time doing stuff Good update I say Link to comment
Diamond ImAtrix Posted February 6, 2020 Diamond Share Posted February 6, 2020 Nice addition. A bit bright on my 2010 monitor but that's all good. Link to comment
MVP Ducky Posted February 6, 2020 MVP Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thanks, I hate it. On a more serious note, its cool for those who genuinely need it, as for me, my eyes are currently watering from the sheer god rays that were just injected into my eyes. 1 Link to comment
Rutkiy Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 My eyes now hate me. But if it helps in speeding up the loading times for some and the overall experience, good addition. Link to comment
MVP Eddie Posted February 6, 2020 MVP Share Posted February 6, 2020 Nice, it should help people that need it, like Ducky said I too am blinded, now when I look away from my PC I see a white blur . Link to comment
Diamond neom Posted February 6, 2020 Diamond Share Posted February 6, 2020 Custom theme's soon ? Link to comment
Diamond Kermit Posted February 6, 2020 Diamond Share Posted February 6, 2020 But what about my broken title? Now some people won't even know it is there anymore... If you can read this you are probably using light theme. Link to comment
Tomu Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 My eyes, have been broken. But its defiantly good for people who use it. 13 minutes ago, neom said: Custom theme's soon ? In response to this, there is chrome extensions that allow you to add custom css to sites so you could use that to make a custom css. 1 Link to comment
Jim Smokes Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Thank god. Some people look over when im on the forums on campus and they think I'm on some kink fetish website from it being so dark and red and all. Which is just disgusting if you ask me. Like who would think that? And then I switch over to some kink fetish website. /s Looking forward to trying out the lighter theme! Edited February 6, 2020 by Jim Smokes Link to comment
RUFUS Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Whew very bright. Going to try on my phone though. Looks good! Link to comment
Legend Brayces Posted February 6, 2020 Legend Share Posted February 6, 2020 In serious though, hopefully some people will wanna use it! And it should be helpful for people with less resources. Sad I had to sacrifice my avatar for this though. 2 Link to comment
Sapphire Trijim Posted February 6, 2020 Sapphire Share Posted February 6, 2020 Its nice that you added light menu, but its way to bright. Would there be a way to turn it down a bit? Link to comment

Turn down the brightness on your screen Good stuff though, will be useful for people browsing from their phone. I know from experience that the pages can take a while to load, especially if you're on a bad connection. 1 Link to comment
El Presidente Roland Posted February 10, 2020 Author El Presidente Share Posted February 10, 2020 I now exclusively use the light theme. It's sooo good when I don't have to see all the... creative avatars of yours 1 Link to comment
Sapphire HDragon Posted February 10, 2020 Sapphire Share Posted February 10, 2020 If I could make it so I can view the forums on my phone in light theme but come back to my desktop and still be on the default mode. I tried out light mode on my phone, opened the forums on my PC and my eyes melted. Link to comment

Unfortunately that's not possible, theme selection is saved to your account settings and will be the same as long as you are logged in to your account. 32 minutes ago, Ron said: Does that mean I am allowed to use the Butt Pic again?

Legend Peril Posted February 10, 2020 Legend Share Posted February 10, 2020 My dark-mode supremacy wants to hate this, but I guess I'm all for accessibility. Hopefully this is step one to personal website customization? Perhaps a premium perk? Link to comment
Emerald RedSky Posted February 12, 2020 Emerald Share Posted February 12, 2020 I would kill for a low resource dark theme not gonna lie. Link to comment

Diamond RiZ Posted March 3, 2020 Diamond Share Posted March 3, 2020 @Roland seems whatever updates were made to themes has removed the site header for me on the default DayZRP theme. Link to comment

Same for me on my OnePlus7, but when I test using Chrome dev tools to simulate a mobile phone, it doesn't show I'm looking into it Link to comment
