Per-user theme selection

[Daniel_M]

Continuing the discussion from Coming soon to Meta DARKNESS :

@Daniel_M

I made a quick mockup of what a theme selector could look like.
Collapsed:

Expanded (note that it only shows part of the menu, as I only had time to make one part; ignore the font glitches):

Another option would to have boxes next to the name with the colors (like in the category color selection dialog).

@sam

I assume you are talking about an admin selector.

We would like to ship with some sane defaults here:

More than happy to see visual mockups on how to improve this UI.

That said this topic has totally run its course and needs to be split off. Closing it in favor of topics with specific action points and feedback.

No, that was a mockup of a per-user theme selector, located under preferences (in fact, the mockup was based off of a “custom field” on a VM that I installed discourse on a while back). I still think that a built-in per-user theme would be better than installing an extension (+ the user doesn’t have to know how to write CSS).

BTW, when I quoted my post, discourse didn’t automatically copy images.
