If you come across any bugs, report them below and I will address them!
_PS: Your custom uploaded logo will remain intact. If you aren’t using a custom logo, your site title will appear with the styled text like the screenshot shows._

@sam creator of the theme is still old version?

I can work on more color support for the theme, but because it uses brighter colors in a lot of places, not all colors will look good. Will post an update regarding color support this weekend.

I’ve noticed when I preview Hibiscus in theme creator, it dims topics with no new messages, however on our board it does not - read and unread topics are uniformly black text.
What CSS setting could I look for to see what might be overriding this?

@Hanon_Ondricek can you post a screenshot please?
I pushed an update that should make this easier by editing the primary color in the color schemes.

@Eduardo_Braga I just pushed an update that allows you to edit more of the colors like the background color, the header color, etc.

Here is our default theme. Notice the topic “No TADS in IFComp 2018” is grey, meaning it has no new content. In the second one, this is not distinguishable. When previewing the theme in preview from here, it does have greyed-out topics.

Love the theme, great work!
However, I have to report a styling bug.
Small profile icon should be next to the profile pic.
It somehow goes like this:
If someone could provide a quick fix I would much appreciate it.

I fixed these issues and some other I discovered along the way, you’ll just need to update the theme. Thanks for making an account and reporting these issues!
