Topic: Minor gripes with the new theme

Posted under General

Hello, I just tried out the new theme and nearly had an aneurysm as my eyes were assaulted with a McDonalds sponsored flash-bang. I firmly believe that this experience accurately simulates how it felt to open the Ark of the Covenant at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Who on the E621 team may I blame for this tragedy and also perhaps target with an eldritch god's curse? Thanks in advance for the help!

Happy April Fool's everyone

Nah mate it's a pretty good theme imma get the world record for keeping it on the longest

I'm petty enough to let it run until they disable it.

How do you enable it? I regret dismissing it so much earlier as I wasn't in the mood, but missed how to turn it on.

Congratulations, this is the worst thing I've ever seen. I immediately started looking for how to change it back. Blessedly, it gave me the option to revert before my eyes melted. Whoever came up with this is probably pretty pleased with themselves.

You should be. That was really funny.

Bravo guys. It actually made my day once I gave my eyes a chance to get the burned image off my retinas.

....yes I was bitter for a bit before I started to find it funny. Don't judge me.

i actually turned it off and a couple of seconds later set it back to hotdog because i do enjoy looking at hot animals
and this surprisingly isn't that bad

Pretty sure "Hotdog" is one of the default themes, and you can select it yourself from "Themes / Gestures" at the bottom of the page.

I will never look at McDonald's the same way again. Is there any way to reactivate the theme cause I wanna grab screenshots lol

New theme is pretty rough my dudes.
Thankfully, over a minute in I still had enough cognitive sense to see that link to the "cute animal video" and realize:
This is a rickroll...
This can ONLY be a rickroll...
There's no way this ISN'T a rickroll!

Happy April Fools XD

I'm not mad, am I? Hotdog has always been a theme option, hasn't it? Everyone's calling it new but I could've sworn it's always been there.

nah it's always been there
the theme suggestion feature however is new!

If you make it till the end, it just restarts, which is a little bit boring. But hey, I don't need laser eye surgery any more.

Jokes aside I dig the hotdog theme, mostly because I like light themes in general. If there were plans to have a semi permanent version, all it would need is to change the colour of the tags to something more readeable and it would be good to go

Hot Dog Stand helps set the mood, I for one think it fits perfectly with the site and should be a permanent, automatic and forced feature from today on.

I wish it would have gone on to count the days, but the counter resets back to 0 after every 24 hours.

I’m actually not bothered by this theme, then again chartreuse is my favorite color so I don’t think my opinion matters.

(Also 9 hours and 42 minutes and counting, not to brag or anything.)

(Edit 2, still have it active!)
