What GBAtemp style are you using?

With the recent release of tempStyle 2 (in case you missed it) the total amount of styles now available for GBAtemp is 4.

The next style to arrive to the site will be tempStyle 2 Black - a deep black style geared towards AMOLED screens and those that want the darkest experience possible. The style will be first available to our patrons as a perk for backing the site and will be released to the public when testing is complete.

There are also a couple unofficial user generated styles available in the Site Discussions & Suggestions forum worth checking out!

---

tempStyle - with the release of GBAtemp v4 back in October of 2012 and the transition to the Xenforo forum software - this theme became default theme of GBAtemp for nearly 5 years

tempStyle Dark - a dark version of the above style for all you lovely night owls

tempStyle 2 - released alongside GBAtemp v6 in June 2017 this theme saw a big visual overhaul and improvements to site design alongside a completely redesigned mobile interface

tempStyle 2 Dark - just recently released after overwhelming demand and thanks to the support of our patrons

​

Let us know what style you are using in the poll above!

Many use the dark themes because are "dark and edgy like my soul" but I'm not a grim guy.
I like light themes and always use them if I can and don't look bad, is not like I like burning my eyes either, I always use my screens at the lowest brightness level (my only exception is my phone because is too dark at the lowest setting) and the light color of the application/webpage I'm using at that moment brighten things just right to be able to read comfortably and is also aesthetically more pleasant to me (also color banding is less noticeable in brighter scenes).
But while what I said is truth, I guess that the real reason is because I'm lazy and almost always use default settings for almost everything, also those are the default setting for a reason, ease of use and all that.

Oh gosh I went back to the older Tempstyle, just to remember what it looks like, and everything's weird looking now. Now that I've had time to adjust, I much prefer "Tempstyle 2", and light theme, though I do like dark as well. This new style even edges out the way V4 looked imo, and I regarded that as my favorite looking version of GBAtemp for a long while.

To be honest I already like the Dark theme as it is, it looks quite nice with the blue shades.

That said I will sure try the black theme when it is released, I would love to use that on my phone, you know the high contrast of AMOLED black together with the drop in power consumption make it very interesting.

Perhaps I end up liking it more, but actually I then would suggest another option, some way to use different styles on different devices. Actually the style selection is tied to your account, and it is the same on any device, so if I want to use the black style on my phone and the dark style on my PC, well, I can't.

I always used light styles.
I'm on tempstyle2 light.

Having a tempstyle dark is what always remembers me that I'm logged in.

Besides, I like it more than white.

Welp, I didn't know these polls connect to threads.

I'm actually glad you went with blue and not black.

i am using Tempstyle 2 Dark (but a Tempstyle 2 Black would be better)

 

[megaswablu]

I am definitely in the minority, but I actually like the light theme. Some of the colors in the dark theme just don't mesh too well for me, and I'm not one that cares too much for "agh it blinds me"
