Added quick reply option. Check it out on the demo site. Just a start. Need to add options for mentions and emoji autocomplete.

this is something I miss in other theme's. It's a nice feuture tou added there
I can't wait till the theme is complete

Good job sir

[pichalite]

Added autocomplete for mentions and emojis in quick reply. I think that should be enough for quick reply.

Check it out on the demo site.

It is annoying that when you post a quick reply the whole page refreshes, is there a way we can prevent that? As far as I know it shouldn't happen since you are on the same topic.

I'm having a silly idea.. BUT.. we, the users of nodebb, could do a collective buyout of the theme and get it to be new persona for nodebb... what do you think @pichalite ?! @julian !?

[pichalite]

@baris thanks for changing the selector in core so that the page doesn't reload on reply / quick reply.

[pichalite]

planning to start selling the theme after NodeBB v1.3.0 is released.

[Leonardo Galani]

@pichalite Did you already defined a price?

[pichalite]

@Leonardo-Galani finalizing the pricing. Will let you know soon.

[pichalite]

Theme released. Paid for by NodeBB and made free for all.

[pichalite]

Theme updated for NodeBB v1.4.4

Not sure if I asked before, but it is possible to add the Bootswatch skin support? My users love the different skins and the ability to pick dark or light themes on their own.

[julian]

@teh_g It is my understanding that @pichalite elects not to add skin support for aesthetic reasons

[pichalite]

@teh_g Bootswatch skins only workout 100% when you use bootstrap as is. Make a small modification to bootstrap styles or colors and most skins look like crap. I don't want to deal with all the issues that bootswatch skins bring. There is no seamless integration. That's why I don't add bootswatch skins in my themes.

If you want skin support on the theme, it's not too hard to fork it to add them. Just few lines of code to add it in and deal with the other styling issues yourself.

That makes sense. I actually tried just switching to your theme since I personally love it, but a bunch of my users were up in arms about it not being dark. Pesky needy users!

[pichalite]

@teh_g I may add a dark skin option later. Can't promise a timeline but

[pichalite]

Theme updated with dark skin support. Admin's can set a skin from the theme's ACP settings page for all users and users can also set their skin preference in their settings page.

Is it possible to create plugins for this theme?
Would be cool to see a ticker plugin to stream any new/recent posts instead of a large recent cards plugin like that of the persona theme.

This would keep the slick style and fit nicely under the navbar.

[pichalite]

@liberaltech yes you can.

@teh_g

Thanks for the update! How hard is it to add new skins? I'd love to add more color options in there.
