BTT Theme?

[Peanutswar]

I'm just exploring the profile settings on our forum and then I saw this change theme of the forum and by getting curious I would like to change the theme so it can give a different vibes for me but after clicking the change button it directs and prompt an error of "disabled 45".

So is there are any chance to change/enable it?, and is there any other theme before on our forum?.

It is disabled. I don't know maybe for security purposes. You can try other alternative to change the current color of the SMF

As far as I know, the options for changing the current theme will be available when the new bitcointalk forum has been published. There is also no existing design other than the current theme we're using.

If seems to be disabled deliberately: Change Theme. At least that is what the thread indicated back in 2016, indicating that it had never been enabled (which I’m not sure is true if we go back further in time).

It was something considered is a list of forum specs back in 2011: new forum software specifications

UI

The default theme should be minimalistic like the current theme. Nothing that looks "web 2.0": no speech bubbles, no significant space between posts, no significant hover effects, and few rounded corners. Use even fewer images than the current theme: no image buttons.

The default theme must work well with all functionality and a reasonable page layout on text browsers without JavaScript. It should also work perfectly on browsers with unusually small browser dimensions. It should be at least somewhat usable (though maybe not pretty) on ancient and broken browsers like IE6.

Same color scheme as we have now: light with some blue.

There should be functionality for allowing users to choose from among several UIs. You only need to provide the default one, though.

Admin settings that are not changed very often can be made changeable from files instead of from a web interface, though changing the settings from the files should be easy. The web interface must not allow admins to add/edit UIs, execute arbitrary code/SQL, or tamper with logging.

It seems that there was an alternative theme is 2012 called Blackbox:

I have added the much-requested "watchlist" feature. It's like "show new replies to your posts", but it only shows topics that you've chosen to watch, and you needn't have posted in the topic. I only added it to this forum's default theme, the SMF default theme, and BlackBox.

Meta has some threads on custom solutions to change the theme, such as:

I have been reading about the new Bitcointalk forum software being published in the future, where I can I read more about it? and does anyone knows when will be done?

There’s a childboard on Meta with information on the matter at hand: New forum software.

You can actually test the experience on these sites:

Cryptos-Currencies.Com : First forum using Epochtalk
Coinbistro.com - Epochtalk testing grounds

Bear in mind that they are external sites, not Bitcointalk, so do not provide sensitive information (nor your Bitcointalk credentials).
 
The idea is that it will be ready ... at some point ...

You can also run a test instance of Epochtalk if you wish (warning: rather techy): Epochtalk installation readme.

You can try dark night mode like what I'm using whenever I browse the internet it completely change the color of the site you are visiting into dark mode. You can see the sample below I provided:



At least you changed the theme of the forum from the classic into the dark. I haven't tried any other method cause this one suits me well.

Thanks for the answer right now I'm reading those links and threads you are given, just to have a good theme while using the forum.

I will now lock this thread.
