New theme

I don't like the white outlines at the buttons around the top. Also, the blue on gray on the homescreen is weird, and the names and other info to the left of a post need to be centered.
I think that once I adjust to the new shade of blue it's going to look better, but it's a little strange now :P
 
So I just got the whole new theme. This blue is just disgusting. Is there any way to change it?

Also, were there always weird white borders on the bar at the top? (With the Home, Forum, Wiki etc. buttons)

I seem to recall that an old default years ago on SpeedSolving.com was more this shade of blue than the previous darker one. To me it feels kind of like it went back to the way it was - I find it comfortable, like coming home. :)

I had this exact thought. It was a change at first but it's definitely familiar in a sense.
 
The last time you changed the theme, I easily changed back to the older one by selecting it in a drop-down menu at the very bottom left of the page. Right now I cannot do this since the only options are this current theme or the mobile version.
 
The new theme only just registered for me, and I like it! The new icons are great, but I think the blue makes it slightly harder to see things as it is not a definitive colour in my eyes... Not that that is a real thing.
Anyway, yeah, I like it!

I like blue, but it's just too bright, and honestly hard to read. I'd like a darker shade (or the gray back (or both, as separate themes)).

Can you post a screenshot of what is too bright? I will definitely dim it down.

Yeah, I didn't get the entire new theme until today

The spacing/layout in the user info section seems wrong to me

Can you post a screenshot of what you mean?

What makes it disgusting? Can you recommend a similar, better color? As for the white borders, I'll resolve that now.

Please keep the suggestions/comments coming so we can improve it. Thanks.

It may be just because I'm not used to it, but it feels a bit cramped, and the lack of centering for avatar and username doesn't help.

I played about a bit, centering with some extra spacing seems to look a lot better to me.
 
I think most of the issues mentioned refer to the alignment of this part:

The name, desc, logo are aligned to the left, when it would be probably better to have it aligned centered.

Also please notice the Location is not indenting properly (as it was before) which makes it a bit harder to read.

One other issue I have on Ubuntu (which is probably due to font issues alone, because it shows on both Firefox and Chromium, and not on either of them on Windows, but I decided to share here anyway) is the WCA profile link is not aligning properly:

A very small list of random suggestions:


  • I don't see any blue that I really dislike, but there are MANY different shades. Perhaps cut down the number of blues in the header?
  • Is there a reason the hover state of the "more" button is different than the rest of the navigation?
  • I was never "in love" with the little tab above the "active" button, but I think it looks a little more out of place with the new colors.
