I apologize if my posts are sometimes hard to read. I am now using darkgreen as my color. I used to use springgreen as my color, but you can see that it shows up as hard to read on this light color scheme. However, when I use this color on the darker color scheme, it becomes harder to read. Oh well... I guess once the darker color scheme is back, I'll be able to use springgreen again.
Some of us are using a dark color scheme (those of us using the Lightning theme) and the text is hard to read in darkgreen:

It still amazes me that you can make these changes without taking it offline, at least for a few minutes!!
There's really no need to take the forum offline. Changing the default theme is just a matter of going into the forum's Admin Center and changing the default theme setting from one theme to another. Then once anyone using the default theme switches pages, everything changes for them. Everything needed (scripts, icons, etc.) for each installed theme is all stored in its own separate directory in the forum's Web space.
History is always being rewritten. Barnabas told me so. We must I Ching ourselves silly, into our former selves from a few days ago, to save this Mystic Night thing from extinction.
But Mystic Night isn't quite extinct - at least not yet. The error is actually a simple one:
Use of undefined constant calendar24 - assumed 'calendar24'
Meaning that in at least one place in one script, akabugeyes forgot to put the calendar24 constant between single quotes. It can easily be done - but it can also be a bitch to track down in which script it occurs. And then there's also the possibility that he did it with another constant and the system is simply finding that example first and tossing that error out. So, that means every one of his scripts has to gone over line by line - and we're talking hundreds of lines of code. Fun, fun! ... Not! But I will track everything down once I get a chance (I was so not in the mood last night) and Mystic Night will return...
But in the meantime, I'm going to see if adjusting any of the CSS style settings for the SMF default theme can make that theme darker
and still usable...
