Updated forum theme
Mumbling:
Good morning :rainbowwave
We admins had been looking for a new theme for a while, especially to accommodate mobile devices (because lets be honest, in our old default theme it was a true challenge to read anything on mobile). We settled on a theme called "Sunrise", and have made it default for all visitors and new members. Zero has tweaked it a while ago to resemble our old theme and I have been using it for a good couple of months now, and some others were using it already as well.
However it seems I triggered something when applying the theme for all visitors/new members, and some of you have now got the new forum theme as well. Now I know as well as anyone that change is not always welcome, so if you do not wish to use the new theme yet, you can change it here (the previous theme is called HaleOn):

Now the new theme is not 100% finished yet. We have some cool ideas in store for it, but are currently waiting on several things before we can apply those ideas. I just wanted to get this post out there in case you do not wish to use the new theme and were accidentally upgraded ;)
Anagnos:
I must say that I quite like this new theme and while it may take a while to get used to, it already feels great. As you said that people will have differing opinions about this change, and myself, I'm not quite yet ready to say goodbye to the previous theme, so I will very likely change it soon. That said, I'm not against the idea of using this in the future. It's just that I'd liked to get used to it before I make the change permanent. I'd love to see the ideas you have in store, Mumbling. Thanks for the heads up! :duckyhappy

I guess it can't hurt making a list already, even though some of these features have yet to be put in!
So in this theme:
- everything looks spiffy on mobile (and on desktop too of course)
- images are automatically resized so they fit on your screen (EDIT: this is now also the case for the HaleOn theme, thanks Stardisk!)
- you can choose between a dark and light mode by clicking the sun/moon at the top of the page (light mode is not yet updated)
- if you get tagged by someone you can clearly see the mention without having to look for it
- we are also planning on getting new backgrounds (gotta have a nice background for the light theme :D )
- there's probably more cool stuff, but I've been using it for so long now I forgot :)
Once it is all finished, we will only be updating that theme. But that's still a while away. Until then I'll be updating both Sunrise and HaleOn with the monthly post icons etc.

I wonder how it will work with images which have parameter width=xxx in their BB-codes.
And to fit attachment images to message borders, you should just add the css property "width: 100%" to <img> which displays full-size attachment

When images have width=xxx or height=xxx, that's the size they will appear :) The rule only applies to pictures that do not have said bb-code and would normally go off-screen.
Are you very familiar with CSS, Stardisk? We are looking for someone who could help us out with updating the light theme and could help us fix issues like that!
