I have created a style sheet that changes the way CF looks, to make it more readable. It does this by using certain fonts, light pastel background colors, shortening line lengths, etc.

I like it! I would suggest some pastel green, instead of all blue, though.

Thanks. If I get time and inspiration, I'll make an alternate.

Of course, once I had made that suggestion, I saw you were using Internet Explorer. I am running a Mac, using Firefox, so I don't think that any of your themes would work, unless CF would make a change to it. I am ALL for such a change (with pastel greens added), if CF was willing. However, I don't have a vote.

No, The themes are for use with the Stylus extension for Chrome-based browsers, or the Stylish extension for Chrome or Firefox. IE users are out in the cold. I don't recommend IE in the slightest. Horrible browser.

June 12, 2017: I finally have a style sheet that goes with the latest site theme (Spring, 2017).
I'm going to start this post over since there was so much out of date.

I have created a style sheet that changes the way CF looks, to make it more readable. It does this by using certain fonts, light pastel background colors, shortening line lengths, etc.

It's very easy to install the style sheet if you use a Chrome- or Firefox-based browser. First, install either the Stylish or Stylus browser extension. I recommend Stylus because there is no tracking.

In Chrome:
In Firefox
Stylish: go here and click Install.
Not sure if there's a Stylus yet for FF.

Once you've got the extension installed, go to the style sheet page and install it:
Christian Forums (Xenforo), Easy Read, Blue latest | Userstyles.org.

To see older themes for CF, and easy-read themes for other sites as well, visit my styles home page here.
Even use [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Color That Site: Color That Site! – Add-ons for Firefox (Change the colors of web sites including text)? [/FONT]

Which part do you find difficult?
Edit:
Hi Paul.
Can I still stay with the 2017 theme for now and is that going to be around for awhile?

Thank you and the support staff for dedicating time to keep CF up and running.
Happy 4th of July.

YW. I'm not on staff here though.

I don't know how long this version of XF will be here. But you can stick with the Default, either way, sure. But for me, it's a lot of white and hurts my eyes.

I don’t see the option at the bottom to change the skin anymore. Was it disabled? I liked the newer one.
Apparently. I think there's a software upgrade in the offing. The theme this thread is about, though, is something else entirely.

FYI, we plan to be moving to XenForo 2.1 in the next few months. Hopefully this will allow us to better provide you all with more flexibility on how you view CF.

I am appalled at the ads this site offers. Twice I've seen naked women!!!

I figured out a way to handle this. I clicked on the X, and questions from google came up and I clicked on inappropriate content. I did that all day, and haven't seen it since.
