proSilver dark edition is nice but the font height is still way too small for me - the forum pages are not affected by the Browser font height setting unfortunately.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

For the moment, I increase the font size slightly with this user script, of course you can edit this size:

Code: Select all

const sheet = new CSSStyleSheet();
sheet.replaceSync('.postbody .content {font-size: 14px !important;}');
document.adoptedStyleSheets = [sheet];

Hi, is there any way to get the old forum styles back? None of these new ones "do it" for me, and I can't really be bothered signing in anymore because it's so different. I especially don't like how code snippets aren't shown in full anymore.

I agree with BarryG.
This is a coding forum and code of a certain length should not require scrolling.
Make it 60 lines or something user selectable.
I also had to drop the Dark theme since it is a near miss with fonts and icons.
Yes, I can run JS but that requires browser mods for all locations and browser app's.
With so many themes, we should have consensus implemented in a light and dark theme.
The nice thing about standards is there are so many to choose from. ~ Andrew Tanenbaum

The old style you mean is subsilver ? If yes, it's a PhpBB 3.0.x only style and unfortunately I didn't found the theme for PhpBB 3.3.x.

In the meantime I changed the code box for prolight to have to to 400px height and another background color.

I still have this problem in thunderbird:
#NULL wrote: Thu Apr 15, 2021 3:21 pm the position:fixed header of the default theme (without login) does not work well with anchors like links to specific posts. The header will cover the actual anchored posts so I have to scroll up every time. This is especially annoying when reading via the feed, because you have to scroll for every post to read it.

Sticky header, can be switched on/off
Do you understand what i mean? Could you disable this?
Unfortunately in Thunderbird I can't (don't know how) use custom css/script like I could in a browser to reformat messages.

2 remarks :

I have a doubts about that small thing, "copy all" may not work in every browser, If I'm not wrong.
So should be better to add it separately/optionally (or combine), not to replace.

I have to agree with Barry.. I'm also used the same form style that you did. I hope some additional styles will be added by Fred.
The best, so far, is: Pro Silver Special Edition.. but I'm not crazy about it.
You're right... if the style is awkward.. a person won't use the forum as much.

Thank you, works great now. Maybe you could do the same for the german forum?
