Dark Theme Support?

[Joe Siegler]

In the v5.43 announcement thread, you have this text:

Additional Style Variable and Dark Theme support.

What exactly does "Dark Theme Support" mean? Does it come with a dark theme? If not, then what does that phrase mean EXACTLY?

It does come with a dark theme, yes, along with suitable sprites.

I just now looked in the theme selector here in the lower left hand corner. Which is that? The one that just says "dark"? It seems to be that, but I wanted to confirm.

Yes, that's it.

It is more than just a dark theme though, by "support" we mean that there are now sprites included that work properly with dark themes.

OK thanks. I'm now going to need to go through my forums and see what's movable and what isn't (insofar as addons go).

Is there a list of all the features included in v5 - a full roadmap? I have several plugins I'm using in vb4 that I'd be upgrading from I need to look and see if they're even necessary anymore. Like for one the "like" thing I just saw. That's not in vB4.

BTW, I'm a VERY long time customer, either personal or through former companies. I go all the way back when your company was still called JelSoft.

A feature comparison is here: https://www.vbulletin.com/en/vbcloud-features/

The biggest feature of vBulletin 5 is Site Builder. This is an expansion of the layouts for the CMS in the vBulletin 4 Publishing Suite. You can customize every page by editing it in Site Builder and adding/deleting modules with drag and drop. Change the URL of any page by editing it in Site Builder. Each channel (forum) can have its own unique layout and modules.

Other new features include:
vBulletin Messenger - Instant chat between 2 or more people. Each chat will be in its own window.
Themes - Multiple New Styles have been made available to allow customers to get online quicker.
Photo Gallery Content Type - Share multiple images easier in new Topics or Replys.
Link Content Type - Allows sharing of URLS and Videos. The system will pull in site thumbnails and descriptions for the link.

There are many more changes and new features as well. I suggest trying the demo on the main site.
