The future of prosilver (phpBB 4)

[Kailey]

I'm kind of being nit-picky here, but many sentences in the OP still call it prosilver 2.

Better?

A fixed sidebar

Not for me, they can be problematic especially in mobile situations, you could always add one via extension.

Better?

You’ve missed some

As Kailey posted below you, most of that is largely out of scope of a new style but considerations will be made when it comes to making the style easily customisable for people wanting stuff like their logo updated.

Do not expect anything new and fancy like a drag and drop page builder; I can say that categorically will not happen with this project.

Ok, I understand. Thank you.

My mistake. I misunderstood that part:

I'd like to invite the community to share your ideas with us on what you may like to see and to also ask questions you might have for us. ...

Thank you for your work.

For this new style, Neptune, plan to include a navigation menu like the one present on this board. This has been a request and the solutions proposed have never matched this menu.

[Kailey]

That would also require phpBB core changes that are not the goal of this style.

Much better, thanks.

I take it this board is heavily MODified still.

I take it this board is heavily MODified still.

The board is still your standard phpBB install with a style (prosilver_se, publicly available) and a logo on the headerbar (plenty of topics in the Styles forums) with a navbar. The navbar is not publicly available, but certainly achievable with an extension if one wishes to create one. I personally wouldn't call that "heavily MODified".

Neptune will have a nice navigation menu (subjectively I guess), but don't assume that you'll be able to edit the menu in the ACP to create a complex mega menu. Again, this is just a style and will not rely on phpBB core changes.

Admittedly people have been trying to achieve the phpBB.com menu for years and have asked countless times for something like it so don't worry... I plan on ensuring plenty of design requests / choices will be considered during the build phase.

Are you looking for look references to consider?

Also - light/dark modes by default please and thank you! And if you need to choose, please dark over light.

[dbrewood]

Light over Dark for me

[Meis2M]

it is my suggestion
if possible pls use bootstrap in new style, and in next step we can use it for new ACP style too.

[GanstaZ]

if possible pls use bootstrap in new style

It was already answered here.

[Kailey]

new ACP style too

What new ACP style? We haven't announced anything relating to a new ACP style. This is purely just the Neptune style.

[Meis2M]

there is an old topic here:
https://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=51261

Marc worked on acp new style using bootstrap. it is my opinion using this framework in both. Neptune and acp, but you make final decision about that.

thank you
