The new style added to the site, UnionVGF and UnionVGF Fluid, enables the ability to customize the colors as you see fit and choose from a few different fonts. There's also a handful of background textures you can choose from to customize the look even further. More textures will be added in time as well as looking into adding background photos to the selection as well.

To customize, just click the "AD Styler" down below and customize away. Click the check mark when done. After each change reload the page so the changes are saved. There's also a few default color options to choose from.

There's also a footer that will be expanded upon over the coming weeks and the header/navigation now follows you for easier navigation around the site.

Also added a universal "Back to Top," button.

I don't see AD Styler anywhere down near the look&feel settings.

Same on Firefox (using vanilla Firefox. no plugins).

Was using Adbloc on Chrome, but switching it off didn't do anything.
 
I like the new look. Still undecided if I want to use that over the Unino VGF Core Fluid that I have been using. I'll take it for a test drive though.

One thing I just noticed is with the new look there's no longer "breadcrumb navigation" at the bottom of pages. Only at the top. That's a tad bit annoying.

Another quick note: Can't make it happen consistently, but it seems with the new UnionVGF Fluid, when clicking on a thread it doesn't always scroll you right to where the latest post is. Seems to always be on the right page, but I've had it not scroll down far enough a couple times now. Always worked perfect on Uninon VGF Core Fluid.

I can add that back but I never used it a single time and figured nobody else ever used it.

It's happened to me a few times but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently.

Well if you think it'll mess with the vibe then don't worry about it, but I did use it.
 
I have made a custom theme, thank you. I would mention though that my colors didn't carry through on every dialog box. For example, my theme is all gray, blue and white. But when I click on "Mark forums read", the dialog box top title bar that appears is a teal color, but the rest of the dialog box matches my theme.

There will be some colors that won't be customizable because they're built into the core of the style.

Ok, I take back my last comment: I need it back. This 2-click process to go back to the forum landing page is getting old quick. 2-click process being 1.) click back to top 2.) click Xbox Discussion, for example.

You don't have to click back twice. The header follows you. It's always at the top of the page. :txbconfused:

The banner, but not the bread crumbs. So if I'm in the OTL, my only choices are Home, Forums, Members, and Help. If I want to just get back to the OTL with a refreshed page I need to either follow my 2-click process, or do the other 2-click process of clicking Forums in the banner and then re-enter the OTL.
 
I loved it! I set the colors of forum similar to Facebook (Light blue and white). :) Yeah I know I'm weird.
 
cusmistable theme is cool. can you go more in-depth with it? the default white for text background is a quite bright
