Suggestion:
Dark Theme Improvements (2)​

Detailed description:
Hello,

Although I'm very glad the Dark Theme has finally been implemented on the forums and most of its issues have been fixed, I still have some things I would like to have changed, listed below:

1. Make black text (this kind of text) appear as white and not black text because the black text doesn't fit with the dark background of the Dark Theme. Make it a "whiter" version of the normal text.
2. Change the clickable purple color (the one in which links/mentions/thread titles/create form buttons/etc appear) to orange (THIS aka THIS orange) on the entire forums. This includes a lot of things, so if it's not possible to change that color everywhere at once, I can list all the things where it should be changed if necessary.
3. Make it so when we hover over things they appear in the above-mentioned orange and not in black (https://prnt.sc/12pmhba) because it's impossible to see them if they're in the black color. Also, when hovering over the things on my profile (https://prnt.sc/12pmm49) they appear as red, so make it consistent as the other ones and make it also orange.
4. Make the Manager color (https://prnt.sc/12pn26z) a bit lighter.
5. Make the "Update" prefix's text color white instead of black, aka the same as the "Important" prefix (https://prnt.sc/12pmq5x).
6. Make the color of the selected part of the Members page a much lighter purple (https://prnt.sc/12pmuio).
7. Make the color of the Viewing <insert a thing here> (https://prnt.sc/12pnh22) white instead of black.
8. Last but not least, I will ask once again to change the thread titles' color when browsing through the main forums page (https://prnt.sc/12o5o6w).

Credits to @DarkVenom7 for writing the original thread and giving me some inspiration.

Reason(s):
1. Signatures/about pages now look weird because of it and the text itself blends in with the dark background, making it rather ugly.
2. This color is all over the forums and is too dark for the Dark Theme. Making it the above-orange would, in general, improve the forums experience a lot and would look much better.
3. It's almost impossible to see the black color, and the red one is just inconsistent and seems like it came out of nowhere since nothing else on the forums is red. Making it consistent and changing it to orange would bring consistency and would look better.
4. This color is too dark and blends in with the dark background, making it harder on the eye.
5. In the Light Theme, there is no difference between those two prefixes, making it white just looks better and brings consistency between the themes.
6. It would simply look better. Nothing else to say.
7. It looks cleaner and provides more contrast since the background is always a profile banner anyway, so there is no point in changing it from the Light Theme one that looked better.
8. This one is too dark and is hard to read, even when focusing on it, which is just annoying and I believe it should be changed to a lighter version. I often try to read the thread's titles before clicking on them, and this makes that much harder, even though it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Before I finish writing this, I would like to give a huge thank you to @Rodagave for bringing us this Dark Theme and listening to our feedback about it.

That is it for my suggestion, I hope you liked it!​

I like all of the things stated above and highly agree with them. I’ll make sure to change them so they have a better fit on the Dark Theme. We will be able to heavily improve this theme by working together and suggesting improvements, so huge thanks for bringing this up!

I just think that the dark mode right now isn't realy dark but a semi dark mode. The gray-ish color and all that. Also, the yellow color in the dark mode right now seems like a high contrast color. Overall I think it is a semi dark high contrast dark mode. I just like the original dark mode. Everything dark. Some examples are here. Maybe could tweak a thing or two here.1620708531667.png1620708548941.png1620708571583.png1620708616480.png1620708669409.png

Hey Lt_Hammerman,
Thank you for your interest in creating a suggestion for PikaNetwork.​
I am glad to tell you that I've decided to accept your suggestion, and have implemented the following changes:​
  • The clickable links will no longer be purple, they will from now on be yellow.
  • Whenever you hover through something, it will no longer turn black as in the screenshot you've provided, it will now turn yellow.
  • The Update's prefix main color has been changed from black to white.
  • The color of the "current page" from the member's page has been replaced with a brighter purple, though not too bright to prevent from dragging all of the attention towards it.
  • The color of the "Viewing" status will no longer be black, it will now be yellow.
  • The color of the thread titles within the main forums page will now be white, instead of gray: https://prnt.sc/12w75xc
Thank you for submitting all of these suggestions and modifications, if you ever notice any other issue regarding the current theme and/or feel like something could be improved, make sure to submit another suggestion!​
Have a good time on PikaNetwork!​
