Simplified forum - version 2.
Updated for the latest forum version from April, 2020. Removes avatars, cluttered items, sidebars, game icons, changes backgrounds, colors, staff excepted from that, and improved with background colors.
I will probably update it again in the near future if changes or bugs require me to do that.
You need:
1. A tool like User JavaScript and CSS for Google Chrome, I use that. Stylebot was not updated for a long time, and as of 10th of May, both the Chrome plugin and the website gave a NOD32 alert, so I dropped it.
2. My css, you just copy paste it for the paradox forum in the browser plugin you use.
Looks like this:
NEW CSS
Enjoy.
Description of the tool
If you work 6-12 hours a day on a computer, or you spend time playing on it your eyes will get tired at a point. All the clutter the default Paradox forums have inbuilt are not compatible with my overused eyes, so I decided to make me a custom theme.
What does this do? It removes user avatars (not admin/moderator), game icons, some margins and padding, the forum headers, changes background color for posts, increasing the contrast between text and background, posts delimiters, sidebar, etc., etc.
Bottom line, it simplifies the forum into a dark high contrast theme, without the information I deem to be useful, like the sidebar or the adverts.
Good luck. If you want other customization for the forum, drop me a line and if I am feeling Santish I will help. Most probably I will be too busy/lazy to do it tho.
