And, to everyone else's benefit, you probably never will be able to. This has been discussed enough. If you want to post threads, code it yourself and submit a pull request. The current developers have no interest in adding that functionality and have stated why.

Did you get angry at the MD update of the Google Apps?

Also you're not forced to update in any way of course :)

Not sure what the MD update was, I updated for the forums CSS overhaul, and once the app got stable again, disabled auto-updates. I got a new phone in November which downloaded the latest version, at which point I disabled auto-updates again. The app is really good as far as I'm concerned, no need to update it :)

I would probably update for a true OLED theme for my Moto X 2013, as hooah suggested. I'm sure all the Samsung owners would appreciate one, too.

Hey, thanks for posting this theme! I'm definitely preferring the black.

Couple questions though, as I'm not a programmer or anything:
1. Is "section.postinfo" where I change the background color for the box containing poster's name, avatar, post date, etc.? I'd like to change it to the "Dark" theme's grey.
2. Does "article.op" change the color of all the op's posts in a thread, or is it used for literally just the original post? I'd like to change it to "Dark" theme's yellow.
3. Where do I change the background for posts I make? The green could use some brightening on my screen.

Maybe Sereri can help with that.

Speaking of which, using v3.1.2b, after I switched themes now every once in a while a page will load blank. Like, there will be bounding boxes where the posts are (and will even have the different coloring for op/personal posts) but they are completely empty. It can take one to three trys reloading the page to fix. And yes, I did try going back to the other theme and it didn't help.

I dunno if this has been fixed already in later betas, but it's a bug so I'm reporting it :/

1. yes postinfo is the exactly that
2. OP being the poster in this case, it colors all the posts of the OP
3. You can color your own posts via "article.self"

Cool, thanks for getting back on this. Would you mind giving me the values your grey, yellow, and green from those sections in the Dark.css? I think they're pretty perfect in terms of being just the right amount of brightness.

Alternatively, is there a way to look at the css file myself, and I can find them on my own? (e:nm found it on github, dunno if is current. We'll find out.)

E: and about the bug, yeah I'll do that, although it seems to have stopped now.

E2: figured it would just be easier to copy dark.css and modify the background color to black, which works for the actual posts, but it also ends up turning the swipe-in forums listing panels white. Still messing with it...

Make sure your file name is XXX.dark.css in order to make it default to black backgrounds.

Yeah I've been getting those myself. For whatever reason Awful will sometimes send its requests without the login stuff. The forums will react with a "You are logged out" page and the app thinks "oh apparently we are logged out for some reason, better throw away the login cookies". And at that point you are irreversibly logged out anyway.
I'm not quite sure where it's coming from, possibly a newish bug in the networking library.

Clearing the app data helps for a bit but is not a long-term solution.

Is it practical at all to get a per-link-type handling of Open URL/Show Inline/Copy URL?

e: It seems like it might be a pretty base functionality to recognize market links, youtube links, etc, and direct you to the correct app, but I don't know if you can slot that in at all.

Glad you like them. Not sure about the background. Can you post a screenshot? Maybe the html was changed at some point and your css has not been updated to match it yet.

I'm guessing you're all on 3.1.2b? If it's the webview there's not much we can do.

:siren::frogsiren::siren:

Concerning the current beta: I'm still not entirely happy with the icon for changing the PM view to the "sent items" folder. At the moment it's just an arrow to the right but I'd like to find a better, more obvious icon. Google has a preview version with all icons here, though it's slightly outdated ( here is the current 50Mb zip file with an updated preview). I'd love your input.

And there's 2 more things:

After 3 and a half years with our trusty frog I feel it needs a update to a more material design version. I can't reach Spanky directly since he has disabled receiving PMs so I open this up to everyone. Please adhere to the MD Guidelines.

I also noticed we don't have a product video on the play store and I think we definitely need to fix that. Just a quick video that shows off the main functions would be great. If you manage to wrap it in a continuous story, even better. No :nws: should be obvious.

As for both, be aware that while you might put work into it, we could end up not picking your entry, maybe none at all. Be also aware that the only payment will be that your icon will be in the app / video will be in the play store listing.
Unless of course someone wants to add an incentive with some forum upgrades (feel free to do so).
