I did write a long post of why I did it, yada yada, deleted it all, and here a short post of what I made.

These are userscripts(client modification), so it does not interfere with the forum's engine, nor it hides ads, etc. It's purely client-based.

I'm no designer, so I welcome you to fork my codepen and roll your own changes or suggest them here in the thread.

Main highlights,

1. Improved readability, fixed colors
2. Removed unnecessary design
3. Old yellow color for main
4. Greyen down some colors to make it easier for the eyes

Todo:
1. bring back reactions
2. improve userExtras section
3. fix colors there and here


Currently, I do not have much time as I'm behind with work on my project but I had to fix this because I use BHW to wind down while working.

Some people watch TV shows on a second monitor, I do read, a lot. And one of the resources is BHW, so this was crucial for me.


Setup instructions,

1. Install chromes extension

2. Open extension settings

3. For CSS post: https://codepen.io/lucky-sparks/pen/vYwBejq


Please note, that my color selection highly depends on my screen's ability to process colors, color saturation, brightness, and many more factors.

This is far from perfect, "pull requests" are welcome.

I will work on this more when I have more time.

Cheers.

You got way to much time my friend, lol
 
I had the same idea of creating and sharing a new custom theme, but got told by Damien himself that, that imposes a security risk (??) and is not permitted.
This isn't a theme but a client-side modification, I should be allowed to modify how my client(browser) interprets colors, etc.

It doesn't interfere with anything else than my own screen, no one else will have this effect but me or people using this.

It's like changing brightness/saturation in your monitor but only for certain sites.

I'm just sharing my settings here so to speak.

I'm just as confused as you are.

I tried reasoning by telling that all the modifications happen locally on the local cached .html file.

I have no idea.
 
Hah, he's been faster than me.

Now I'm gonna pop another benzo pill as the work is already done.

Joke.

I'm still doin' my themes but for myself for my code editor. Light theme new BHW inspired.

To do:

1. bring back reactions
2. improve userExtras section
3. fix colors there and here
Getting our reactions and home page link to show on posts is very important and I hope this does not get closed like my poll thread!
 
At least he was able to finish the project!

Unlike in other cases!

You think? ;)))) -->

I will work on this more when I have more time.

Low chance I will continue.

Although need to fix post textarea, it's annoying too.

And want to center signatures back to left because I use 49" screen and have to turn head to sometimes read them.

And the notification box needs a gentle touch.

And probably that shitty brown color needs to find alternative for the header part to something more classic but what would fit the new layout.

Overall update is GOOD, forum is faster, snappier, I like it. It's practically only the colors, user info, links and spacing that needs adjustments.

Thanks you are saving my eyes

For main post text color there are two variables available, try both, for me better is current one but perhaps old color will be more gentle.
 
That's odd.

Damien told me that, that custom CSS and JavaScript are no-no.
What he said was that they had complete rewrite of backend meanwhile I checked and it was quite "not complete". So...

not my problem

This thread is only going to get it back for anyone that uses this. Everyone else will not see it, it is a shameful removing of active paying customers perks. So yes, hope they change their minds and give it back.

All this effort to get 50k reactions gone... like proxy.

I think this is done, so you start posting outside the lounge.

Now you gotta become money making guru in money making section.
