To Be Honest When I first saw it I wasn't sure but yesterday decided to give it a go and was pleasantly surprised just how good it looks well done.
I only have one thing I would like to do and that is increase the width a bit more as the menus take up some space when I'm viewing things some of the text gets pushed to new lines.

I have tried Repeating this on another Theme which seems OK
It Only started after A Added [Colour] Tages green
https://www.databasedreams.co.uk/support/index.php?topic=92.0
Once I move away from the record and comeback it's OK But even reloading/F5 don't change it.
It only seems to happen using the Modify Post then saving shows the image below.
Maybe someone else wiser than I can answer this cause I'm clueless about it!? ???

Pretty sure what you are seeing is the
.windowbg:target
This is used to highlight posts.. Eg you click an alert about your post being liked. So your liked post will be highlighted with this class.
@Shades. Change
.windowbg:target {
background: rgb(255, 255, 224);
}to whatever background color that you see fit.

Theme Updated:

1. Fixed colors for .windowbg.locked, .windowbg.sticky, .windowbg.sticky.locked
Hi!
Is this normal? Seems that something is flushing the buttons only inside the editor itself to the right... both text and the button itself?
ScreenHunter 296.jpg
I notice the hairline across the top also runs to the border...which doesn't match the left side... not sure if intentional or not... figured I better point it out.

Thanks!

I can't reproduce this but I did fix the padding issue and moved the buttons further away from the right border. See if that helps!
Theme Updated:

Updated Theme:
03/20/2022 Version 2.1
This version does not have the admin sidebar.
1. Removed admin sidebar for responsive issues.
What "responsive issues" were there?
Quote from: Antechinus on March 20, 2022, 05:32:01 PMWhat "responsive issues" were there?
Well I had another theme I was trying to submit but the customizer said:
QuotePlease test the responsive view, there are some issues with the menus in actions such as admin and profile.
When using the responsive menus, the submenus/dropmenus are always on the same fixed position and not really below their parent element.
So I removed the admin sidebar and it fixed the problem until I could get you to fix it for me!? :P O:)
I believe the first issue is caused by using a different media query than the original from responsive.css.
The other one, probably needs to overwrite either the positioning or add a position relative. I didn't really test it much.
Don't know about issues in admin or profile. My profile seems fine on this site. Give me a screenshot and I'll take a look.
The "other one" was a deliberate aesthetic choice on my part. I happen to prefer that presentation. It's called "custom theming". :D
But yes, it is easy to change (TBH I think the default 2.1 mobile menu is pretty crappy).
I posted a thumbnail here (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=580417.new#new) so we don't dirty up this thread. :P
So which of the 3 packages available for download is the latest?

Theme Update:
04/09/2022 No Version Change (Current Version: Alien_Shades_21_2.zip)
1. Updated css for correct background link
Theme Updated:
Version 2.2 : 04/19/2022
1. Fixed code box/select issues in posts
Noticed That the Code window does not allow for wide text, I thought it was a general thing but when I was checking the installed templates I noticed one of them added a bar so the screen wasn't oversized.
would it be possible to do same with this theme?

Loving The Background on 2.1.4
Just Upgraded to see if an issue I'm seeing had been fixed
I just created a mod that uses a menu, but I have noticed With Alien shades There is no Menu Icon but all my other theme show my Icon.
@Diego Andrés did create a bit of code, but it still won't work with Alien shades
addInlineCss('
.main_icons.pledges::before {
background-position: 0;
background-image: url("' .$settings['default_images_url'] . '/icons/pledges.png");
background-size: contain;
}
');

Did you put the pledges.png image in the Themes/Alien_Shades/images/icons directory or in the default theme directory?
This was one of my first 2.1x theme so I don't remember what I changed to remove the buttons but I will have a look when I can.
Thanks,

All images are in the Default DIR But Will check the theme DIR tomorrow soon as I can.

No, I left it there on purpose to keep it with the original idea of the theme. I figured you could remove it if you wanted to. ;) :P
