I tried and it was not for me — matter of taste and no biggie. But I couldn’t switch back to another theme because in my settings was one very important button missing: save

[carson]

Thanks for trying it! Is your save button missing?

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

Yes.

Well, I should try if it was because I changed theme from footer of the sidebar and that option was missing too. Or if it came from some component. But… I’m just now drinking my first coffee of the morning

I’ll dig in further if I’m the only one.

And… beta14, iPad and the Hub.

This is Awesome to have!

If you expedite a basic dark-mode as next iteration that would be extra-awsome.

Then I can stick with this theme 24/7.

The condensed listing is great!

Hey Carson, Thanks for the theme this is cool

@Jagster

But I couldn’t switch back to another theme because in my settings was one very important button missing: save

I can repro this. However the buttons are there only not visible.

It seems the theme button modifications is restricted to the .discourse-no-touch class which only works on non-touchscreen devices.

On touchscreen devices only the .btn custom style active which change the button background to var(--secondary) so the button color and background is same on .btn-primary as the page background and the default .btn-primary button has no border so it won’t be visible. This is happening with all .btn-primary button.

The other button types are same but the default color is different and the icon also visible so those buttons visible.

Do you have the plan to make the marquee a separate theme component? If it could show topics with a specific tag that will be great.

very nice theme how can i do text color edits ?

[Canapin (Coin-coin le Canapin)]

Hey Ahmed26,

There’s no setting for that in the theme, and it doesn’t seem to change much when you change the selected color palette. So, your best way to go would be to create a new component to override the theme’s colors.

There’s a guide about how to do CSS changes here:

Make CSS changes on Your Site

Want to make some CSS changes on your Discourse site but not sure where to start? You’ve come to the right place! You only need to read this topic if you’re very new to CSS. If you already know how to write and add CSS to your Discourse site, then you will most likely not need to read this topic. We’ll cover a few subjects. We’ll start with a brief introduction of what CSS is and some terms that you need to know. We will then move on to how you can add CSS to your Discourse site. Final…

I think this theme is really cool, and I like it a lot. However, there are some minor issues. The login button is missing on the mobile version, and the category icons are not working. I really hope this theme can continue to develop.

Loving this theme.

[denvergeeks]

This is… ohh… sooooo… retroooooo I LOVE IT!!!

[Frankz]

Is there a sidebar for the theme?

[Lilly]

@Frankz There is.
The screenshots in the OP could probably use an update with the navigation sidebar menu.
