Theme is alright but square avatars would be nice

I like. Looks nice. 

one thing is bugging me - when you enter a thread, it doesn't take you to the unread reply line, you have to scroll down yourself.

I actually like this. I'll probably keep it. 

profile pics need fixin' though as osc said.

I like the new theme.

You need to know that dark themes are in general better for your eyes health than white ones. Software developers learnt this years ago, when you're reading code for a long time it produces less eye strain, at least for me.

I also code with dark backgrounds, but it's more like dark gray and then some darkish colors for text and formatting. The current theme here is very dark background and then bright white components on top of that so they distract and seem to burn into my vision. If I close my eyes after watching this for a while I can still see the damn thing burned into my retinas.

Also the whole page looks very busy with dozens of clickable components in bright white or light colors all over the place.

Looks good but I hate the wasted space on the right hand side of the screen.

its not better for your 'eye health'. thats just a thing people say for some reason.

its also a pain in the ass to read if you have an astigmatism.

This too. The colour scheme overall is good but the wasted space + circle avs should be fixed

Is anyone else stuck on dark mode? I can't seem to switch it off, which kind of makes feel a little bit roguish I guess, but it it's also slightly unnerving.

You can switch themes at the bottom of the page, and Tomorrow's Harvest now has a light/dark toggle. I may turn on the IPS default theme (which is REALLY bright), but hopefully I can get WATMM Classic's colours restored (it's not BAD, but it's a bit flatter than before).

That's a good point and I am starting to think that as well - there might be a toggle for this, and I know on smaller screens that should collapse responsively.

but for real - is there a setting where i can pick my own theme? i can barely read the site now.

You can change themes at the bottom of the screen

Toggle doesn't appear to work.  When I select the toggle or the 'light theme' button, it just switches the theme from TH to Dark.  So, I'm still in the dark.....

Great. Now it's back to stupid circular profile pictures.

Turned that off (again)

Yeah, I just noticed this too - it shouldn't be switching themes... still stuff to iron out!

I think the circular avatars are the one thing I like best about the new theme, but I can completely understand how it might not work if you''re square by nature.....

To be fair, it isn't a new theme per se - we've had it for some time. Most people's avatars work better as squares since that's what we've always had. This forum software's default is rounded.

i cant stand any of these dark or overly stylized themes.  i await the classic / most basic theme to come back since that was perfect as it was

Avatars were created to match the format, no argument there.  Had the avatar profile shape been an elongated ellipsoid with a swirly extension on one side, avatars would have been created to match.

I've sorted out the major issues with WATMM Classic (that I have found) so far, and I have turned the theme back on - if you preferred the dark theme or wish to try out the other themes, there is a link at the bottom of every page to do so.

I'll be making tweaks to WATMM Classic to improve it and get it back to where it was prior to the upgrade, so stay tuned!

You have ideas? Please share!

Congrats Joyrex, I switched to Tomorrow's Harvest theme and is so cool.

Thanks; but everything is still much bigger than before..  The text and buttons look giant and there is lots of dead space all over the page that wasn't there before.  Maybe I wasnt using classic.. or that is what is still left to work on?
