One more help, please...

My forum is open, but "visitors" do not see this menu on their cell phones. After "entering", it appears.
Could I change this?

Interesting, I've logged the bug and will look into it in the future, thank you for reporting it

Grateful and unhurried...
I'm getting used to it, choosing colors... etc... Lack of custom!

But it's excellent!
I intend to keep it as the main one. I liked it a lot!

Very nice theme.
But for me (SMF2.1 RC3) the "Dark" option is not working.
In a former life it worked and was great,
and the download page displays a dark picture.
What am I doing wrong?

not working how, where are you enabling the dark mode from.

Recursos · October 31, 2020, 07:48:44 AM

From profile Look and Layout

Ed:
I don't know if this is related, but in table smf_themes:

ID member	ID theme	variable	value
0	2	name	potato_0.1.1
etc.
3	1	potato_dark_mode	1

wasn't the ID theme supposed to be 2 instead of 1 in the last line?

looks like an amazing work done

@Recursos go to Admin > Theme Settings and check if "Allow users to change modes" is turned on.

Recursos · October 31, 2020, 03:53:32 PM

That solved it, thanks SychO.
This is #1 theme for mobile view.

So dark mode it possible only for users, not visitors? Maybe incorporate some logic to follow user OS dark mode preference?

Looks like the quick reply section would benefit from some dark css too

I added them myself in Sunrise.

Both should be fairly easy to do, I've created issues about them in the github repo, so that I don't forget about them.

Just installed this theme in 2.1.1 and it seems to work fairly well. I have run into a couple of issues though:
When I first installed it and went to modify the theme settings, I got a blank page and the error log included entries about a couple of constants not being defined. I was able to switch to the theme and modify the settings, but neither of the color options was set (not a big deal - just makes the theme extra dark

).

The other issue is the option to show x recent posts on the board index doesn't seem to do anything - I have it set for 10 (though there's only one post at the moment as this is a brand new forum) and it doesn't show any recent posts other than the one for "latest" in the info center.

Yea I had not tested this in 2.1 golden yet, so I'd expect small hiccups like that, shouldn't be too many though.

Hi!
I liked this theme, but with the upgrade today it gave a lot of warning / errors that it could not update it?
Probably some changes between 2.1 RC3 and 2.1.2 made the problem?

I took the safest route by disabling the theme before I updated... (quick update from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2), but I would like to know if you think it is just to re-apply the theme after the upgrade or something you need to look into first?

Oldiesmann · May 16, 2022, 05:25:59 PM

It's working fine still on my 2.1.2 forum. I haven't looked yet to see what changes are made to index.template.php or whether those changes can be applied to Potato as well.

My favorite feature of this theme is the realtime color changer for the primary color... Not sure I've seen that anywhere else.

Hey Scyho

Thanks for making this. I love it!

We're using it on our new boards. I'm a little worried about spamming up the boards with links (I see noone else here has), but if you're wondering what it looks like at our place, just send me a PM.

Something I am wondering a little bit about is the dark theme. I've kinda tweaked things for the light theme and I like a bit of contrast for easier reading, so the text colours are a little on the darker side. However, this carries over into the dark theme creating a problem of a somewhat dark text against a darker background.

Is it possible to force the dark theme to ignore the color picker and use other values for the two colours? Which variables in the css can I change to achieve this?

I've added an attached picture that shows light and dark themes on our site side by side. The announcements board is just a little low contrast (imo) in the dark theme.

By the way, I wanted to merge two topics today and couldn't find the buttons to do this in the potato theme. The manual states these buttons should be at the bottom of the topic page, so under last post. However, I had to switch to the standard theme to find them.

Am I just being an idiot and missing something obvious?

Edit:

Sorry, just found it underneath the pull-down menu hidden under the Reply-button.

toretorden · June 28, 2023, 02:11:51 PM

Hoping for an update to the latest SMF version

Thanks again for your work making this, @SychO

Diego Andrés · June 28, 2023, 02:14:49 PM

Doesn't look like it's happening any time soon, Oldie is still using this I believe so you might encounter very little issues.
You could post the issues you're having and others could have a look and let you know how to potentially fix it?
