Thoughts on the redesign? I'm not sure how I feel about it yet but I didn't particularly like the old design so I don't mind something new. It looks a lot more conventional now, similar to major news outlets like The New York Times, Reuters, Associated Press, etc.
You're viewing a single thread.
I haven't seen any redesign yet - guess I'm not in the 10 percent.
Sorry, I realised after posting that it hasn't rolled out to everyone just yet. I can see it on my desktop PC but not on phone. Here's what it looks like:
Round corners for everyone and everything!
Seems to be a common design trend at the moment.
There isn't enough use of trapezoidal buttons on webpages. What does the internet have against trapezoids?
Ugh. Not sure its their best move ever. Looks a bit like a cheap Guardian knock off page with the round corner blue boxes.
Thanks for sharing that. It doesn’t look terrible, I guess. No sign of a dark mode?
I'm not sure. I use Dark Reader and it displays fine with the new design, so you could try that.
Have Dark Reader fixed the problem of not screwing around with CSS? Last time I tried it, it ignored certain CSS and, among other things, links would be underlined. Looked pretty crap on a website like a news site, where every article headline is a hyperlink.
They introduced Dynamic Theming in 2018 to replace CSS filters and at some point that became the default. I don't recall ever encountering the issue you're describing.
Yep - still looks shit.
Just testing it now, the Filter and Filter+ theme generation modes seem to fix the issue you're having.
Ah, so it does. It's been a long time since I tried Dark Reader. Should've tried all the things they've added since then, for myself. Cheers!
