Steven P. Administrators Posted June 4, 2010 Administrators Share Posted June 4, 2010 Today we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Atlas2 forum theme update. Currently the default (blue) and Pro theme are available to select in the theme menu at the top right of the forums (theme selector). To switch back, you will find the standard IPB theme menu on the bottom right of the forums, in the footer. Please note that the theme is as far as we are concerned in final state and ready for primetime, but there may be bugs! Because the update is heavily based on the Atlas theme, it's likely that there will be no issues to report, but as always we are open to feedback and bug reports in the correct forums. This update took into consideration feedback from members and staff after the major update in January. We feel that Atlas is now finally how we intended it, complete. Please also note that we have also updated our logo. For the first time in about 8 years, neowin.net uses the new font type "comfortaa" where we used to use "chlorine". Colors will appear in the theme drop down in the next week or so, so look out for those. The default Atlas theme will be phased out and no longer supported once the update is completed. The main page will also receive an update, that is nearing completion and will be merged live at short notice. Bugs we are aware of: - Community tab does not display feeds (yet) - A few IE issues with the nav menu feeds Enjoy! Atlas2 Blue (default) Atlas2 Pro (inspired by the new "pro" theme for the news page) * Guests cannot select themes, to test drive our new look, please register on Neowin where you can participate and select a host of different colors to suit your taste!

Ambroos Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 On first sight: AWESOME!! I really like the fact that it's just 'slightly' less wide and the refresh in general makes it a lot cleaner! * after a bit of looking around: I'm not a fan of the green on a:hover...

ahmz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I can't notice much of a difference, except for the lack of contrast up the top. But good job as always. Neowin.net, always the best looking site in my browser. The new dropdown menu on my name is pretty nice.

RoomKid Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Basically its a header and footer restructure, at least from what I've noticed. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/907204-introducing-atlas2-forums-beta/#findComment-592705820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Veteran Posted June 4, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2010 Yes, for the forums we've just changed the wrapper. For the main page... it's a bit more of an exciting update :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/907204-introducing-atlas2-forums-beta/#findComment-592705986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 There's a huge amount of "white" (blue) space underneath the footer for me, I did do a hard-refresh. It only appears once the whole page has loaded. Using Chrome 6.0.422.0. Edit: And only in this topic :wacko: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/907204-introducing-atlas2-forums-beta/#findComment-592705996 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 We don't support beta browsers. Im on the same browser and I dont need no white space... looks fine here. It was only happening on the first page. But no problem, I found the culprit. I disabled all my extensions and re-enabled them one by one, it was the SmoothScroll extension causing all the fuss. Sorry, I should have tested everything from my end before mentioning it :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/907204-introducing-atlas2-forums-beta/#findComment-592706068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
