Default forum theme is difficult to read

Post by Skandragon »

Black text on a dark background makes it difficult to read. I know one can change the theme, but non-logged in users will get a hard to read page.

I agree, I never used the default theme because of that.

Is that the default theme? I don't see much black on grey, except the Postcount etc.. As far as i'm aware i don't have an addon/plugin that changes colors installed.

While typing a reply, it is black on grey.

While viewing, it is a light grey on a slightly darker grey. Either option makes reading the forums hard. mods.factorio.com is even worse -- much of the text about specific mods is the same as entering a reply here: black on grey.

I never liked the default theme because it's dull and everything blends together. The blue theme is so much easier to read.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

And I love the default Factorio theme, because well ... il feels coherent with the Factorio feeling :)

Actually I like the Factorio Theme, because I like "dark" themes much more, they are (newest science researches) better for the eyes. But I admit, it could be improved a lot. And there could be an alternative LIGHT Factorio theme.


And if you search about "tapatalk" to find "problems" or "alternatives" you find too much for my taste. I would not say "bullshit", but I think the whole idea of tapatalk is not thought throught (I would never use it) and I think it would be much better to make phpbb able for mobile instead.

(searcn for phpbb mobile).
