@Hari I get that load speed with NodeBB alone 🤭
Theming support in Sudonix

wooo it’s very good work Mark.
I’m very interrested with taht features to improve what we have done together in order to less overload the load of my forum when using the theme switcher

Most of the work on the daylight Swatch has been completed. However, I did realise quite early on that I’d need to add some unique variables otherwise it meant having to remove functionality from the daylight colour scheme which I didn’t want to do.
I’ve found a way around this hopefully so work will continue tomorrow as time permits.

Over the past couple of days, I’ve been making significant headway with this, and the performance benefits are huge. Hoping to release to production in the coming weeks.

It’s been a while so I thought I’d provide an update. Bar a couple of small bugs, I’m almost complete with the refactoring of the theming engine and associated code.
During testing, this is a game changer in terms of loading speed. There are essentially two main components
- A “global” CSS file that essentially provides the foundation for all themes.
- The addition of a Swatch - based on CSS variables which contains no CSS. This means that no additional CSS is loaded or removed during theme changes, and also means there is no need to reload the site.
- With minification, the global CSS theme (once unneeded elements are removed) comes in at around 10kb. The Swatch files are literally less than 1Kb
Once I’ve moved this into production, I’ll share the code.

Hi All,
I just implemented a raft of new code from DEV to PROD. You will need to reload your browser (ideally a hard refresh) to pick up the new code, styles, and swatches. It’ll be worth the effort - trust me

Ugh… Spotted some (really minor)
but nothing that’s not easily fixed. I need to implement the final stages also - most of which are code refactoring, and minification.I’ll post the completed code plus documentation as soon as it’s finished

*** NEW *** “FaceTube” theme added
Like the YouTube and Facebook Dark themes ? Well, you can now have both here !!
Enjoy

@phenomlab Awesome!! Love it…

@Sampo2910 thanks. I’m going to be cleaning up the code and proving a new post with instructions etc soon. Fully stable now with (I hope) no bugs, so ready for release once I’ve finished the cleanup.

*** NEW *** Greybird theme added
For those who like the Ubuntu theme of the same name, this is for you. Not entirely a replica, but pretty close
