If you had to drastically change HF theme colors, what would you pick? - Hackers - Jan 10, 2024
If you could snap your fingers & create a new HF theme for everyone, what would you make?
If I had to go with a drastic new look, I would take some hybrid of hackernews, reddit, github, and bring in either a Facebook or LinkedIn style newsfeed as a primary page/feature of the new theme.
It would be light or dark theme with a quick toggle in the corner of every page & if I had to choose between Windows vs Mac/iphone vs Android themes I guess I'd go with a MacOS-ish style, a nice small font family/size/weight, and try to implement some sort of nested post UX similar to reddit where you can see replies (quoted posts) directly under the original, and open/collapse diff comment trees.
It would be similar to github because I think it would be cool to have the user profiles show top threads / posts & stats similar to how git profiles show pinned repos.
The hackernews reference would be to trending posts, and again - the nested comments feature. The theme would implement 'full view' (traditional mybb style) but also 'list view' (more like HN / Ycombinator or reddit, or hell - craigslist).
The FB theme style inspiration would be for global site convo bubble / popout chat window, as well as instant msging for users & an online users list like oldschool Facebook before Messenger.
The LinkedIn inspiration stems from the idea of how it brings in events - when someone is promoted or has an event, LinkedIn does a good job of showing it on newsfeeds. The theme's feed would feature users who join groups, upgrade to L33t/ub3r/etc, become Staff, gain Awards, break certain stat records, etc.

I wouldn't change anything. I still use the dark grey and purple theme. Every time they have brought out new themes or color schemes I've gone and forced it back to the old-school. I fear change. I am so used to this color scheme I couldn't imagine blue or something.

Yah same here. I like the color themes at the moment. If they will add some themes, that's no problem with me.

AltPump doesn’t have a dark mode just yet but AltBets does!
Probably dark mode though.

Nice, that's good for AltBets - I love toggling light/dark, but prefer dark mode default. For a while I enjoyed light mode, but I use dark for the ease on my eyes.

Totally agreed! Dark mode is defo overdue on AltPump LOL.
I'm glad I got it done on AltBets so it shouldn't take me tooo long to do the same for AltPump!

I remember HFX had the option to change the logo and theme to whatever you want, but it doesn’t work anymore sadly.

I went to another site today and genuinely missed the HF feel. It was hard to use the other site to be honest... text too small, light background/text hard to read, etc.

Wish I could check that out, but that's a shame.
How many themes did it have?

Eh, probably just sticking with something oldschool for nostalgia sake. I'm sure some great newer and current day themes could be created that I'd be partial to as well though.
