[Userscript] Bitcointalk Modern Theme - Yet another Bitcointalk Skin

[cande86]

I will stick to the current native theme, but you and claude made a good work  Congrats

Thanks for the kind words and the push to make an even better job. My final target is to convince you and other users that using my theme rather than the traditional, classic theme is a compelling necessity!

I have to say that the work that Claude is doing lately is truly noteworthy, i don't know what you use it for but i can assure you that it's not just for coding, in fact i have to say that lately it's evolving a lot and they're dismantling many dogmas, things that we thought could never happen, simply incredible.

New Version!
No new features this time, but a lot of bug fixing.
Just spent a week ironing out all the bugs I found in the use of this last week.

Code:

Version      2.10.39

BUGS:

*OFF mode correctly restores original BBCode/post action buttons.
*Sanitised stored/custom hex colours before inserting them into HTML/CSS.

*Cosmetic adjustment to font style and size 

*Cosmetic adjustments to interface (button sizes, icons, shades) 

*Old-style topic-list and legend icons modernised.

*Default style is now more coherent with classical Bitcointalk style, yet in a modern form 

*Other minor fixes. 

Just let me know if you find something, or if you want a new feature!

If you have already installed the theme, update it.
You can install the script from here: bitcointalk modern theme
You can find the code here

Well done, Fillippone, you’re becoming a real pro at programming!
I’ll add a new flag to your user note now 

I’ll update your theme now and see the new features in action, but I need to tell you something important! Your theme is absolutely brilliant, and the dark version is really nice for giving your eyes a rest at night, so well done again

[SamReomo]

All those themes are amazing fillippone especially that blue one. You're good at using Claude and to be honest you've created a very useful look for Bitcointalk. I'll surely install your theme soon and share my honest feedback about it. Just from the screenshots I can say that it looks perfect.

Here we are with the usual weekly update.
This week I made a considerable change with a new feature: a mobile theme.
You can activate this optionally via a specific yoggle on the settings menu.
The mobile version strips some graphic effects from the theme to reduce the load on the system. If your mobile is powerful enough, you can leave the mobile setting off (any recent iPhone should be in this situation).

Code:

v.3.0.37
FEATURE IMPROVEMENTS:
*Mobile version. Access from a toggle in the settings panel. Allows you to strip some functionality to adapt to less powerful mobile devices. Access is optional to use the full theme on a powerful mobile device (@*Ace*) 


BUGS:

*Increased font in the message compose area
*Private messages font style and size made coherent with post composing 
*Aligns code headers with code blocks (@Niekko)
*Minor changes to make it smoother. 






The to-do list is still very long. But please, as always, help me fix it!

Great work, Fillippone.
The latest updates are really impressive; the mobile mode is absolutely vital. The full theme makes so many CSS changes and overloads mobile browsers that it causes problems if a user has a low-performance device. The blur effects are unfortunately quite resource-intensive, but with the mobile mode, the whole theme works brilliantly.

[fillippone]

with the mobile mode, the whole theme works brilliantly.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I hadn’t any problem running it on my devices, so knowing it works as intended helps me a lot.
I will update the OP to give it a little bit more of coverage, as it might be useful to a lot of users I guess.

Great update, @fillippone...!

Currently, many themes slow down the browser due to heavy graphics when trying to make them mobile responsive.

Your idea of ​​providing this optional toggle button in that place is great.

This gives the user the freedom to customize the theme according to the capabilities of their device.

Removing graphic effects on low-end devices will not only save data, but also increase page loading speed.

This optimization of directly reducing the pressure on the system is truly commendable.

This is my first experience using a user script (userscript) on the Bitcoin Forum, which is normal. The setup process is so simple that a new user can do it without any problems. I had no experience using scripts on the forum before, so this was a great experience for me for the first time.

I especially like its AutoMode feature the most. It reduces eye strain a lot, which is very useful for long hours spent on the forum. The script is very smooth and feels great to use. In short, I am very happy with it.

Hey fillippone

Why don't you adapt your extension to altcoinstalks as well?

I just added these lines to make it work there, but the result wasn't good yet.

Code:

// @match        *://*.bitcointalk.org/*
// @match        *://*.altcoinstalks.com/*

NotATether was asking for a dark theme there, I think it is easy for you to provide the adaptions for it.

dear friend you are really going deep and strong
Now I'm asking you something and you'll surely hate me I hope not, but if you think about it, it's obvious that I'm asking you this.
you made a very very nice theme, I liked it

Would there be any chance of replicating this for altcointalks? non mi odiare

I will update the OP to give it a little bit more of coverage, as it might be useful to a lot of users I guess.

Of course it will be useful for users, especially for those who love using dark mode. I already checked your script and honestly everything is working smoothly and nicely overall. You really made a good script for bitcointalk users. Also, the way you keep updating the thread after creating the script is something truly commendable.

I also made a dark mode script similar to yours for altcointalk. A respected user, NotATether, was looking for something simple to use dark mode easily, so that was actually why I created it. Since bitcointalk already has several dark mode scripts available, I didn’t really share mine here. But from what I tested, the script I made also works very well on bitcointalk too. If you ever come across my script on altcointalk, you can check it yourself, it performs quite nicely. Right now the script is working properly on both bitcointalk and altcointalk without any major issues.

What happens in altcointalk, says in altcoinstalk.
I would rather prefer to speak about what we are doing here.
Maybe, if I have time, I will do something also on the other forum, but bitcointalk is the main part of my time, interest and commitment.
