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 would choose violet may be or blue, but the color now is good enough, i like it tbh

[hayesh]

Probably the AltPump color scheme lool

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?

[DemonAsylum]

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.
