Christmas theme
Apologies for the delay this year - the Christmas theme is now up. If you've got your profile set to the standard Transport Tycoon Forums theme, then you should see our nice winter theme now. You may need to press CTRL-F5 (or equivalent in your browser) to force the graphics to refresh, though.
I know there are a few things that are broken or wonky in the theme following the phpBB 3.1 upgrade (e.g., the "last visit" text at the top of each page; the 'key' at the bottom of the main page). I'll try to fix these tomorrow. If you spot anything else that's wrong, please let me know by posting in this topic.
If you don't want to use the Christmas theme, you can change the theme in your User Control Panel to the "Transport Tycoon (temperate)" theme. This is available year-round.
Enjoy the theme!

\o/ Snow!

Re: Christmas theme
I can barely see green text on green grass.

Which theme are you trying to use? You might need to do a hard refresh (Ctrl-F5 or similar)McZapkie wrote:I can barely see green text on green grass.

Re: Christmas theme
Looks much better after browser refresh. It is now even more readable and eye-neutral than temperate theme.
Re: Christmas theme
Yes, I'm quite fond of the snow theme. It's more neutral and more in line with other websites. Bright backgrounds are better than green!!
My Scenarios:
Archipiélago Hermoso (Latest Release: Version 3.2)
Turnpike Falls (Latest Release: Version 0.91)
Re: Christmas theme
After the refresh, I can hardly see the white texts against the snowy background which are less important of the two, as green texts are the links I need to use.McZapkie wrote:Looks much better after browser refresh. It is now even more readable and eye-neutral than temperate theme.
Re: Christmas theme
I've changed to the "Transport Tycoon (temperate)" theme, and the look has changed, but the "theme" field is back to the "Transport Tycoon". Does this mean it wont remember my choice the next time?

Re: Christmas theme
The next day - and the white background is back. Quite an annoying bug.bjgttd wrote:I've changed to the "Transport Tycoon (temperate)" theme, and the look has changed, but the "theme" field is back to the "Transport Tycoon". Does this mean it wont remember my choice the next time?
Re: Christmas theme
Try clearing your cache, restarting your browser and changing the setting. I remember having this issue several years ago myself. Once I did that I never had to be blinded by the snow again.

Re: Christmas theme
Sorry about the delay - the white text on the snow should be fixed now. If you spot any more let me know.
That's possibly a bug as a result of a customisation I made to phpBB some years ago - if you look at the page URL, does it have "?style=1" (or something like that) at the end of the address? It should remember the style you select the first time you go into the preferences, but if it's then putting a style into the page URL, that's definitely a bug.bjgttd wrote:I've changed to the "Transport Tycoon (temperate)" theme, and the look has changed, but the "theme" field is back to the "Transport Tycoon".

Re: Christmas theme
There is "?style=5" right after I change the theme, but it's gone on the next visit (and everything is snowy again).orudge wrote:That's possibly a bug as a result of a customisation I made to phpBB some years ago - if you look at the page URL, does it have "?style=1" (or something like that) at the end of the address?

Re: Christmas theme
OK, I should be able to fix that - will try to look at it tomorrow.
Re: Christmas theme
At the bottom left of this thread there is a "Go" button with white text in front.orudge wrote:Sorry about the delay - the white text on the snow should be fixed now. If you spot any more let me know.
At some pages, eg http://www.tt-forums.net/viewforum.php?f=49 at the bottom there is an explanation of the thread icons in white text too. At the right, there is white text explaining what I can or cannot do ("make a post", "make a topic", etc)
EDIT: Unclicked links are white (not sure this is a problem, as background is black, buit it's different from "normal" and I find it confusing.
