    Oh my god.
    I’m a noob.

    as a reminder, the problem on the chat is not with mouse hover (I see you have a hand on the button) 😉

    @downpw Yes, I know. I’m just rectifying the issues

    @DownPW After spending a lot of time on the theme switcher (see referenced post above), I re-wrote some of it as found that there were caching issues with CSS as it always calls the same version number. The new function below resolves that issue.

    I also removed the website prefix, as with relative paths, this is not required 🙂

    // ------------------------------------------
    // Theme Switcher
    // ------------------------------------------
    // On choisit une chaine de caractère aléatoire pour affecter un numéro de version au fichier CSS. 
    // The function below creates a random string which we use for CSS versioning to prevent cache conflicts
    function generateRandomString(length) {
        var text="";
        var possible="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
        for (var i=0;
        i < length;
        i++) {
            text+=possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
        }
        return text;
    }
    
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var string=generateRandomString(10);
        $("#random_string").text(string);
        // This variable gets the theme ID 
        // Cette variable obtient l'ID du thème
        var whichTheme=localStorage.getItem("theme");
        // This variable gets the active theme's actual URL
        //Cette variable obtient l'URL réelle du thème actif
        var activeTheme=localStorage.getItem("activeTheme");
        // This variable appends the dropdown list to the existing panel
        // Cette variable ajoute la liste déroulante au panneau existant
        var panel=$('<li id="switcher" class="dropdown text-center"> \
    <label for="theme-control-list-check" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="theme_dropdown" title="" role="button" data-original-title="Theme" aria-expanded="false"> \

    – The modification for resolve cache problem/CSS number version is very great 🙂

    – I have just change the CSS class for change icon on JS Script here :

    var panel = $('<li id="switcher" class="dropdown text-center"> \
    <label for="theme-control-list-check" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="theme_dropdown" title="" role="button" data-original-title="Theme" aria-expanded="false"> \
    <a class="btn-link" title="Theme Switcher" href="#"><i id="ticon" class="fa fa-fw fa-toogle-o"></i><span class="visible-xs-inline">Theme Switcher</span></a> \
    

    – I have light and dark theme, so I prefer a universal button like toogle ON/OFF

    • Toogle Off icon on Default Theme :
      8a6ade87-98be-4b9a-b3a7-c44fccc5cf8b-image.png

    • Toogle On icon on each other theme :
      c8bece49-8863-4fc2-9e10-fcf2c19c8bf1-image.png

    – ACP/CSS :

    /*Switch toogle Off (Off:204 - On:205*/
    .fa.fa-toogle-o:before {
        content: "\f204";
        font-size: 16px;
    }
    

    – Each theme CSS :

    /*Switch toogle Off (Off:204 - On:205*/
    .fa.fa-toogle-o:before {
        content: "\f205";
        font-size: 16px;
    }
    

    I have trad comment line too !!

    I put the topic on solved status but it’s not excluded that I return here to ask questions about CSS that I will have trouble finding for future themes if it does not bother ! 😉

    @downpw some really nice enhancements there !

    I forgot this.

    – On position text and icon of theme switcher, I have added padding-top to ventilate the surrounding area and align all icon :

    /*Smartphone*/
    @media all and (max-width: 1024px)
    {
    /*VIOLENCE: BUGFIX: Placement du "Theme Switcher" */
        #switcher {
        list-style: none;
        margin-left: -80px;
        padding-top: 15px;
    }
    }
    

    – And I also improved the space between the icon and the text :

    @media all and (max-width: 1024px)
    {
    #switcher .fa-fw {
        text-align: center;
        width: 1.25em;
        padding-right: 25px;
    }
    }
    

    – Result:

    @phenomlab

    I don’t think so JQuery are necessary becausei hav not that on other themes. Maybe a focus button ?

    I want to fix this color background after a click on “Discard” Button when I reply to a topic.

    For example you don’t have this on sudonix.com

    Just to find the correct CSS code i guess

    @downpw Expected, because the CSS class is :focus so on mouseout event, the focus is lost and the CSS will no longer apply. This is why you (probably) need jQuery

    @downpw So (for example) do you want the Discard button to turn red if you you click Confirm, or am I off track here ? Not entirely sure what you’re after 🙂

    @DownPW it’s possible, yes, but you may inadvertently end up targeting other elements using the same class which of course isn’t desired. Can you provide a link in DM for me to review?

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; } Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.

    @DownPW as discussed in PM Seems to have been solved with the new JS code that you added allowing the version CSS file change!! Cache problem therefore with the JS of the Switcher theme Based on this, I will close this thread and reference https://sudonix.com/topic/207/nodebb-help-for-my-custom-css/27
