darkpixlz’s Modern Theme

This is a theme with rounded corners, a lot of blur, a consistent look, and it’s very custom to fit with your forum.

!!WARNING: Some screenshots may be out of date, if they are, then this post is a wiki, feel free to edit!

This theme is made for dark schemes. It supports light ones, but some things may be broken.
Screenshots:

There’s also a tile version, but I couldn’t find a good use of it for this post.

I’m editing this topic but I have to reply and Discourse wont let me save the draft - this will be edited with more screenshots soon.

This theme supports most major plugins.

It also will not come with a different color pallet for now, look out for that in the future.

Have any ideas? Let me know on here!

Plugins + components known to cause issues

• Full Width Component
• (possibly) All Ad Plugins

Other notices

• I don’t recommend adding custom backgrounds to things that aren’t settings (like tags), as it will cause incompatibilities or bugs.
• Chrome and iOS are known to have issues with background blur in some places
• “Latest” and “Top” pages have known issues on mobile
• Theme Creator Preview does not work correctly due to colors
• While light schemes are possible, it might break some things and make them hard to read.

[Alexander (Alexander Barrios)]

Reminds me a lot of Fluent (Windows 10), I love it

[darkpixlz]

Hello everybody!

I noticed that there were some missing corners that were promised, I committed those just now
Enjoy!

[darkpixlz]

Hey everyone!

Another update today, I changed the way that things blur, and added support for Discourse Chat.
Enjoy

I wasn’t so sure on the flag one - any feedback is welcome!

[Shira_Richter]

Hey
I’m new here, and I was wondering can I use this theme in my discourse?

[JammyDodger]

All of the themes here in theme are usable for everyone (and the components in theme-component too). This particular one is a community contribution by @darkpixlz, but there are also some official ones as well - all open-source and free to use.

[darkpixlz]

Yes, as @JammyDodger said you can use any theme in theme, just click Customize, then Add theme, then From a git repository, then the repository link and it will add. Thanks

[Shira_Richter]

awesome! works great
Can you help me with one thing?
How can I change the header? the gradient color to my colors… I can’t find it

attache a photo:

[darkpixlz]

I dont understand fully.

I will write you a custom theme that’s the exact theme but is missing the gradient though. Give me 10 minutes and delete that theme from your site.

[darkpixlz]

Hey! Sorry for the delay, here is the repository:

GitHub - darkpixlz/DarkPixlz-s-theme-with-no-gradient

[Shira_Richter]

Oh thank you very much, sorry my question was not clear
is how you can change the color - instead of green to light blue - for example, pink to dark blue

[darkpixlz]

Ohhh, I get it now.

Sure, I can change that for you. It’s an image lol, should probably make it a real gradient.

[Shira_Richter]

hoo amazing… i thought it’s in the code or something… if it’s an image where is it so i can replace it on my version?

[Shira_Richter]

Also, since you are so nice!!!
where can i add the image in the background like you have here? the icons

[darkpixlz]

Ok, SO

Delete that theme and then get the default repository again.
Update it

Make a new component, and make the CSS this:

.d-header {
  background-image: url("https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/597146309908103178/1001925437632565308/Untitled2.jpg?size=4096") !important;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  border-radius: 0px 0px 8px 8px;
}

Then save it, and apply it to my theme, Should work.
The icons are fixed in the latest update, just click “Update to latest”
Latest version:

[Shira_Richter]

Thanks so much!
really nice of you to help so much!!!

I hope i understand everything

[darkpixlz]

Hey everybody!

I forgot to mention earlier but thanks to @Don, the theme now fully supports firefox and mobile browsers!

I also have some pretty exciting plans and changed stored for the future, look our for a large commit in the future!

Speaking of that would you like cards like this?

I would like it, but I Would not like to figure out the SCSS

Actually, I was able to half get it!

Again, let me know if it’s something worth keeping

[ANormalUser (LOL)]

I’m in the picture!

[albert_vu (Albert Vũ)]

It’s giving Windows 11 & MacOS mashup with a sprinkle of Material Design here and there, love it

[Kuro22]

Are you trying transforming topic list items into these cards? It looks beautiful, I like those round corners . And I think that the blank space below tags is reserved for topic excerpts, isn’t it? This is an interesting idea. I would say please keep going.

But what those figures (like 120, 83, 16) stand for is not very clear, at least to me, maybe you could make some improvements on it.
