tempStyle 3 beta open for patreons!

tempStyle 3 (Light mode only)

Perform a cache clear, complete refresh when enabling TS3!

Can you believe it's been nearly 2 and a half years since we introduced GBAtemp v6 alongside tempStyle 2? Well, the time has come for a refresh and for the last couple of months I've been working hard on tempStyle 3! The skin is far from complete and is still in the early stages but it's now in a state where I feel it can be used daily without any major problems.

Testing is now open to our patrons!

As is tradition, only TS3 light is available until all the final touches have been put on. For those who prefer the dark themes I aim to have TS3 dark/black ready for public launch of TS3.

tempStyle 3 has been built upon an entirely new base skin so many features have been recreated from the ground-up. The new style aims for a more cohesive, systematic design that carries across all pages and site features. It also features new animations and options that weren't possible on TS1/TS2 as well as modernised hi-def icons across the board (though emoticons are still old-school ... for now).

Many features will look familiar as I didn't want to stray too far from the recognisable GBAtemp style, however I gave most sections of the 'temp a bit of a face lift so you may notice a few changes here and there! A lot of attention was given to: Ask!, Blogs, Reviews and Downloads in particular.

Please note some user preferences options are either incompatible or not yet implemented on TS3.
Also the sidebar across the site (mostly thread view) is missing some blocks so may look a bit bare.

The following are sections that still need work (that I know of) :

• Guest mode/login forms

If you can help me to test and put TS3 through it's paces I would appreciate it. Feel free to poke around every nook and cranny of the site and try and find pages, forms, etc that aren't properly themed. Even if something just doesn't look quite right it's likely it can be tweaked to look more fitting.

PLEASE LEAVE ALL FEEDBACK BELOW - if you find anything that looks out of place/wrong (no matter how minute) please let me know below in as much detail as possible or with a screenshot if possible...

You can select TS3 in the theme switcher at the bottom left of the page or here.

Could the comments icon in reviews be made clickable again to auto scroll down? It's only a small thing but it's a nice QoL when on mobile. It definitely worked that way in TS2 so hopefully it isn't too much work.


The middle icon on the bottom right fwiw

I think pictures do not zoom when clicked with the new tempStyle on Chrome/Windows.
I mean, nothing happens if you click in any picture on this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/at-ames-sega-mega-drive-red-screen.550922/
But if you use an older style, clicking on the pictures make a new subwindow with the zoomed picture appear.

This has now been fixed thanks to some help from @Costello now we even have a new and improved viewer

Loving the new look, very much improved. Only seen it on mobile so far, I’ll check out the desktop version when I finally go back to work - I say work, I won’t be, I’ll be fannying about on ‘tinternet, more than likely.

Anyway, one thing so far. For whatever reason, still can’t see comments on Blog pages, when viewing on mobile - iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13.3. To be fair this is also the case on the other styles, so whether it’s deliberate or not, I couldn’t possibly speculate.
