Today we are announcing the public beta of the new "2013" theme for the XDA forums. This theme is in active development, though for the most part it should be suitable for daily use. You can access it via the "Style Chooser" in the bottom left corner of most pages.
Please note: this theme is not bug free. It's possible that you will notice some funky behavior while using it.
Some of the primary benefits/features:
When we finish optimizing, it will be significantly faster than the existing "XDA 2010" theme.
Optimized for displays 1280 width screen resolution
We've added a sidebar to update you on PMs and subscribed threads/forums. This is collapsible for users when reading threads.
Tabbed home page which will default to showing your subscriptions to give you easy-access to the forums you care about most.
Enhanced device information pages (for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1533) that will show specs and root instructions for some devices.
Plus many other little additions and improvements.
Most of the user-facing changes are cosmetic. We created XDA 2013 as a platform for much more significant enhancements to the site, which will be rolling out over the next few months.
Please use this thread to report on bugs. If you have general thoughts/comments/suggestions, please post your thoughts in this thread.
Thank you for your help!
The Samsung Galaxy 3 is on the Newest Devices list.
I was announced in 2010.

Thanks for the report SmXtrem - what is your resolution? We have it designed for minimum of 1280px.

It looks to be 1280x800
This happened today while i was viewing a thread
I don't believe the 2013 Beta theme shows how many pages the thread is from within the thread.

Nice theme!! I've noticed a bug. The text behind the links with picture, like index and advance search, is visible.

I cannot reproduce this on Chrome 19. Looks like a mobile browser issue.
Guys, remember to post which browser and version your using if you report a bug
Not really a bug, but unlike the 2010 version, big images expand the width of the page instead of adding a horizontal scroll to the image, as an example the image posted by m1l4droid @ page 1 post #9 in this thread.
Browser: Opera 11.64 & Chrome 19.0.1084.56 m
OS: Win 7
Fixed - bitpushr
I'm not sure this is a bug or part of the feature set of the new theme, but mod/admin user names don't appear in red as they did in the 2010 theme. Happening for me on SRWare Iron 19 and XP SP3.
New Bug : When i click on The XDA-Logo AT THE BOTTOM , it navigates me to xdadevelopers.com which is an empty site ,, it should be xda-developers.com ,
Please click thanks , i have few thanks
Admin EDIT -- Fixed. Thanks. Good catch.
Sent this in a PM to bitpushr -
When searching for the threads I made, it does not show which forum it is in. - FIXED
In the "Find you Device..." tab, you can't use the arrows on the keyboard to scroll down to your device, you must manually click it.
This is not a bug, just a request - Don't make the arrow of all the people who thanked a post way to the right. I'd prefer it to be right next to the words "The following *number here* users thanks *username here* for this post".

Not sure if any of these are fixed, but will still report.
This user's country flag is to the right and not below the info (join date n stuff) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27598726&postcount=3753
I tried leaving out my city and provider info and mine still stayed below.
Admin Edit: Thanks - fixed this.
Alright,i posted a bug report here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27609613&postcount=7 But i didnt specify which browser i was using,so here goes: I am using Chrome Plus which is based on Chromium and other open-source prjects,version,1.6.4.30

From portal
for some reason this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719953) is too wide for my 1280x800 screen (zoom is set to actual size) however when i go to page 2 it all fits. Using chrome 19.0.1084.56 on OSX 10.7.4
[EDIT] Also, just as a suggestion, I think the portal widget thingy that is now on the right of the forums squishes everything up, but thats just my opinion

Same here, but i think it happens to everyone..it's because of the huge image in post #9, if the sidebar is hidden then it's fine. But the sidebar is useful.
Sorry but I can't seem to find Legacy Devices Forums?
This was on the news on XDA this afternoon and I figured I'd link to it because it's a very good thread. We have a huge screen, so this particular tutorial is useful for us. (This was not done by me, please don't thank me for it.)
Chrome Desktop User-Agent Mod (Flashable)
I'm on the XDA app and I'm having a hard time finding a "site suggestions" subforum if it exists, so I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong area.
Anyways, I cannot use the site on my phone at all since the introduction of the floating "menu" that lists most-thanked users and related threads, as it covers thread text almost completely. I'm attaching screenshots in both orientations. I'm using the stock AOSP gingerbread browser on Decks Reloaded ROM for the EVO 4g.
Is there any way to disable this, or a place I can request this feature be removed other than this thread?

You have to contact the site admin or developer!
I just shot them a message now. I don't know why I didn't think of doing this last night!
Just sent a direct email, but thought I would follow up with you. I've been testing this on mobile browsers (different ones) and have identified some issues - I'll work on a fix and we'll check to see if this fixes your issue.
I've added some detection for disabling the sticky sidebar when on mobile. It's too funky due to the resizing/zooming that you do on mobile.
If you are on mobile I highly recommend our app, it works much better than the site - also we are working on a mobile theme for the site.
Also check [USERSTYLE/THEME] Dark XDA + (Universal) Mods/Tweaks!

Makes the "XDA 2013 Beta - 1024" XDA theme look more like "XDA 2010". For those who prefer the old fonts and colors, but still want all the new features of the 2013 theme (e.g. DevDB).
Make sure you're using the "XDA 2013 Beta - 1024" theme on XDA to use this userstyle correctly.

Download:
Grab it from userstyles.org:
http://userstyles.org/styles/94422/xda-2013-to-2010?r=1382614350
Installation:
You'll need Stylish (Stylish for Firefox | Stylish for Chrome | Stylish for Opera | Stylish for Safari) or a similar add-on to apply the userstyle.
FAQ:
Q: Does this theme apply to all of XDA?
A: No, it only changes the forums (the Portal, Wiki, etc are untouched).
Q: I found a part that isn't themed!
A: Let me know, post a link to the page and I'll fix it.
Q: 2010 still has different layouts, some items are in different positions, etc. Can you change that?
A: It depends. Basically, I probably won't be able to change any item's position and make it look good using a userstyle.
Q: Are the ads removed?
A: No.
Q: How can I be notified of updates?
A: Stylish should automatically check & download updates (unless you have that option turned off). Otherwise I'll post in this thread whenever I update, so you can also subscribe if you want.
Q: Can I check the source code?
A: It's available on userstyles.org, just click the "Show Code" button.
Q: Are there any risks?
A: Risks are explained here, and you can check the code to make sure it's clean.
Thanks:
@Ghost for early testing;
Thanks for reporting anything I might have missed, and sharing your impressions and suggestions.

Nice job, you even made xda news! Congrats!
It is looking awesome. You did a nice job dear..:good:
One more thing -> You have made XDA reborn. IMHO..
Truly stylin'
Hey @GermainZ
Just wanted to thank you for turning my page dark. At first I tried the Dark XDA "Retro" 2010 look and liked it...until I saw your signature and the fully Dark XDA Theme with the Universal Mods. Love this look! It's so much easier on the eyes too after spending so much time in front of a computer all day.
I try never to skip a day of the News board or XDA on Google+ because I know I'm bound to find something cool to learn or to try. And today, my friend, you made the News thread and XDA site more of a playground than it already was for me. Lol Awesome work, sir!!
Thanks again,
tinydynamite00
Sorry ... accidentially posted in the wrong thread.
There's so much difference between xda 2010 theme and xda 2015 theme! Amazing work :good: :good: :good:
I've been around for so long, and it's only now that i found this...
It's never to late to say thanks, so many, many thanks, i find it way better like this
Also like your dark/blue theme, but the unread threads aren't too easily to find for me.
I don't know if you can understand what i mean, but even if the unread threads are bold, they don't catch my eyes as they do in the 2013 to 2010 theme
@GermainZ I don't know if you'll ever come back here but... here's a little question, would it be possible to move the "subscribe forum" and "mark forum read" buttons as we loose many space because of them ?
i've made a screenshot to make it more clear :
Original announcement: http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/xda-2015-forum/
Please use this thread to report issues with the new 2015 forum template! We'll be working like mad over the coming weeks to make everything just right. :highfive:
If reporting a bug, please tell us your device, screen resolution, browser, and steps to reproduce.
Probably the bug...look at the background of the picture of the phone. It should be dark I guess.

Ah,its back yes
XDA PORTAL POSTS,Trending in themer etc etc
these should not be shown on profile like my profile and signature messes up due to this and becomes scrollable
Also tell us where the option or we can go to use previous theme if some one not comfortable with this one
PS Mini Statistics and friends bar overlap your profile when you see "most thanked" on profile page
Always better :good:
Found a small bug - our "Follow the rules" signature .gifs don't display correctly on the 2015 Dark theme, mainly because their background is transparent.
Maybe someone with a lot of time on their hands could work on making the background of the .gifs a solid color! :good:
:laugh:
2010 theme, opening random forum page -> ~5MB page size
2015 theme, opening random forum page -> ~100MB page size, of trendings and colors and images... and wow... :laugh:

Yup, especially when zooming the important thread column gets worse readable.
Apart from that, good work.
how to surf this forum now if half of the screen is used up by the side panel???
please make it an option to disabled it.
New white 2015 theme is nice... except the constant sidebar. That needs to have an option to turn it off like the 2013 theme does.
Also, is 2013 theme still in beta?
i found a bug i can only replicate on waterfox (64bit version of firefox) google chrome is ok and also ie, if you make a search for threads opened by (user) like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=307447822
when the window is maximized all results goes under the right sidebar but if i take the window and go to a smaller size everything shows screen attached
