Hello everyone, We wanted to push some changes to the forum in anticipation of expanding our community with new Tempest backers and customers alike. We’ll begin to roll-out these changes this weekend. They are mostly aesthetic and organizational updates. Special thanks to @eric for making this happen among others 😉 We hope everyone continues to enjoy the community as it grows and flourishes. Thank you all for being a part of this! ---

As mentioned by Tim I’m starting the changes, some are visible, some not but it will take a few hours to complete and meanwhile a white page can happen. Just reload … ---

Where is the setting door dark mode? ---
**Author:** ![eric](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/user_avatar/community.tempest.earth/eric/32/13553_2.png) [@eric](https://community.tempest.earth/u/eric)\ **Post date:** [May 9, 2020, 2:00pm UTC](https://community.tempest.earth/t/heads-up-forum-updates/5849/8 "2020-05-09T14:00:04Z")
I disabled dark mode for now. The changes just don"t work on dark mode, especially for colour blind people. Colour and contrast just fade to almost unreadable. And I need to tweak that theme completely to make it match the light one. Below side by side normal and a colour blind version, see how icons and colors just disappear ? I’d need to make a complete other colour pallet Last is colour blind on light theme (stays readable) I can do the quick swap on themes but honestly, won’t be nice ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/9/9684d16e01f6d7205b5c4fb2cf39a1423db60b03.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/8/81abec083286662d50854f36e42c249927702579.png) ![Screenshot 2020-05-09 at 15.57.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/2/2cff81824c363ac6e2ad32041be34adfb15c7d4f.png) ---

yeeeeecccccchhhhh - very harsh looking. Can we have the old colors back as a selectable theme please ? ---

I’m afraid not. The category colours are not in the theme and you can’t set several neither. I’ll dig more into Discourse but out of the box i can’t do what you ask. ---

I don’t think that the dark mode looks too bad on my new 16" Macbook Pro screen… 🌛 ---

More like 24 months of no interest financing from a local authorized dealer, plus a $200 off sale below even the educational pricing. My two-year-old 13" Macbook Pro started having the notorious keyboard bounce problem just as we started working from home, and I couldn’t afford a week’s down time to ship it out for warranty repair. After factoring in Uncle Sam’s $1200 gift and the resale/trade-in value of the 13" computer, I’m only about $500 out-of-pocket for a better keyboard, larger screen, and 8 cores of Intel i9 CPU goodness… ---

And it looks fine on my $500 Chromebook. Better yet, I didn’t have to finance it. 😉 ---
