🎨Theme Colors Feel More Like Home! Kumos Visual Update

Worked on pulling in more legacy-like colors for each Kumos theme - the navigation bar and dropdown menus should now feel more familiar and cohesive with each theme's color palette. I'm still actively working on the Kumos layout and taking feedback all the time, so keep it coming!

The logo is rendering as a kind of weird color on each theme right now, that should be resolved soon.

@Keith I said this is the shoutbox already before realzing I should probably post it here instead so sorry for tagging you twice lol. ^.^;

The themes are looking really great! But I ende up deciding to switch to the Shadowglen theme for now (I was originally using the Morostide theme). When I got on today and went to the main quests screen, all of the quests boxes were really bright white. It means I was able to read them well, but the bright white of those boxes was just such a stark contrast to the rest of the dark colors that it was really bothering my eyes. I always have to have sites on 'dark mode' for that very reason lol.
The Shadowglen theme doesn't have the same problem though, so maybe if a change was implemented to make those boxes colored similarly instead? I don't mind there being some white, just so long as there's not an over abundance. On a similar note though, the 'Start' button for the quests is bright white on Shadowglen too, and the text is barely legible since it's such a light gray. Same with the 'Send Message' button in the shoutbox and now that I'm on the forum I can't actually see where my mouse is when I'm typing. I think it's just blending into the background or something?

thanks for all the work you've been doing, the changes are really good

@Syfyri It really helped a lot as a guide! Obviously some (very) rough edges right now, but I think it did help a lot!

next changes are likely to make the main content center have a white or dark bg (depending on the theme) so that the items/content are a little less in conflict

Thank you so much for taking my feedback into account! This was such an exciting change to wake up to - the site feels so much better and more comfortable to use! I will undoubtedly be leaving some more feedback to hopefully help out even more, but this is absolutely a humongous step in the right direction. Thank you again! :)

ooooh... it's a small change, but I think this so much better. thank you so much!

I miss the regular white coloring when doing quests found on legacy Subeta rather than the yellowish and green coloring found here. In my opinion, this currently really does not feel like home at all. One thing I do like on Kumos is the recent change to have the button to "start" a quest (on the main quest page where they are all listed) bright white now. That really pops off the screen and looks nice.

Oh thank you so very much @Sheap !!
the visual contrast while doing quests hurt my eyes!

@Kat77 Go up to the header and click your a avatar (is in a circle form) then click on "settings" and then in "change theme" there you go :)

@Keith - thanks for the update, but it changed my theme! I had it matching to "winter" type colors as I have legacy set for arctic frost right now, and now kumos is all green again.
How do I change it back?
Thanks

I noticed when I did my quests today! Havent check them all but the default ine with the pale grenellow is warm and feels cozy, I like it!

How can I change my theme? I actually like this color less now!

Sadly it's still mostly white for me, though I do have a little strip of green behind the navigation/logo bar now, so that's something haha.

This is definitely an improvement! It's amazing how much some color changes to make it more similar to the older/legacy version actually does make the Kumos version feel a bit better.

One thing I would maybe like to see as well though, instead of having certain themes be a light or dark background color, it might be nice to have like a light mode and dark mode version of each so we could choose a theme and then light or dark version of it. Specifically because with the Morostide theme, I really like the top banner and all during that time of year but the current black and red everything else is a bit hard on my eyes (Idk if this is part of the colors that need to be fixed that was mentioned).

Will my theme keep resetting still? I currently have the masq theme (set today) I find my theme settings and widgets always reset to default.
