I updated the forum today, but some of the updates feel a bit uncomfortable for me. Previously, the posts I had clicked on would appear in gray, indicating that I had already viewed them. Now, all the posts seem to have a strange color, leaning towards purple. If possible, I would like it to rever…

I think this is a theme issue, as my forum is on the latest release and isn’t these colours.

I tried comparing multiple devices. So far, I found that likes are displayed in blue on the iPad Air 6, while on the Samsung S23 Ultra, they are displayed in red.

Do you have some colour filter on your device or browser?

I don’t rule out the possibility that there might be some settings on my computer causing the display color to turn blue. However, what I can confirm is that the color changed to blue after I completed the update this morning. At the same time, my iPad, which is rarely used and hasn’t been configur…

I had my friend test it, and the results showed that likes on his computer also appear blue, while on his phone, they appear red. Therefore, I’m confident that it’s not an issue with local settings. It’s most likely related to the internal settings of the forum system.

Previewing it on Theme Creator also shows the blue hearts and purple links. I think the purple links are supposed to mimic the default HTML visited link colour, and blue when not yet visited. I would say that this is intentional, but I cannot be sure. are the colours supposed to be like this?

I think it’s the result of changes to that theme about a month ago: DEV: refactor to remove template overrides, add fixes by awesomerobot · Pull Request #23 · discourse/discourse-simple-theme · GitHub

I guess the color is still red, also you can edit CSS to get your desired color.
