This theme is really nicely follow the Discourse design. Great work as always
This is really cool!!
Is there a way for us to use the 4 buttons as a component? Not sure if it already exist
This seems to be a popular ask.
I think Jordan gave some guidance of how to create one in:
But I donāt think thereās an existing component for them yet.
The new theme is great! really like it.
My only qualm is the chat window overlapping the topics list even though there is more than enough space in a normal desktop screen to accommodate a chat sidebar
What do you define as a ānormal desktop screenā? I usually find myself zooming out discourse forums to 80% zoom for more space.
I think the most common desktop display today is 1920x1080 or more generally a 16:9 ratio
I think itās not a bad idea to assume most people use this ratio.
If you grab the top left corner and drag, you should be able to resize it to however big/small you like.
Sure, you can resize the chat and thatās great. But Iām speaking as an admin of a community, not as a user. Iād like to encourage people to use the chat by having it open by default in a righthand sidebar. I understand that not a lot of people share my views on the chat and thatās fine of course.
Given the current situation, I think it would at least not discourage people from having the chat bubble open, if it didnāt cover other elements on the screen.
Ah, no worries. I donāt think thatās specific to this theme on meta though, is it?
Sorry, but IMO this new themeās background is quite unattractive. The way it scrolls in a narrow band around the main topic area is very distracting. If the topic area was partially transparent so that the background showed through it would make more sense (but that might not have enough contrast for accessibility.)
But the background showing up in the search results was the last straw. Iāve switched back to the Default theme.
I donāt know anything but is out there really people who are using 44 inch screens at full screen when browsing web? Sites should scale, though.
Has the theme been reverted to the old one (potentially only for some users)? For some reason I donāt see the background elements anymore (and there are no errors in the browser console).
