Guys! Guys! The reason the forum Clearview is hard to read? It's a negative contrast violation!  :pan: :pan:

Wish SMF wouldn't change ALL users layouts to the new one when the mods add a new one...

That was the only way to set the joke up. About half of the people had manually specified Button Copy rather than the forum default, so there was no other way to inflict the font on them but to have the software change everyone to the new theme. And it wouldn't have been a good joke if only half of the people saw it and everyone else said "I don't see anything different..."

If you simply can't stand it and want an early reprieve from Clearview, go to Profile > Modify Profile > Look and Layout and select the Button Copy 2.0 theme. (And in the future, if any masochist wants to change back to Clearview after April 1, you can select Button Copy (Clearview) to get it back.)

And for that reason, I added back in the forum logo for that theme. ;)

Initially, I had thought that some of my system fonts had leaked into the site (as sometimes happen with older sites), but well done!

It would be great if you could use a Clearview version of the logo instead for the Clearview theme. I mean, the slogan is already in Clearview anyway. :spin:

(On the other hand, I don't know what button copy Clearview looks like. :/)

This is true. The positive-contrast disclaimer at the bottom is much more legible.

As I have already done.  Wish I could do that for my state (Illinois).

Clearview's not meant for long paragraphs of text. If the whole forums were in Highway Gothic, it would be equally hard to read, with the bonus of us being stuck in the 1950s, everything being way too bold, and having ugly lowercase g's. :happy:

Actually, Terminal Design does have a variant of Clearview for applications other than signage (ClearviewText), which AT&T picked up for a while. Someone should have put together some money for that; it would have pissed off the anti-Clearview crowd even more that it's used in pamphlets!

Thanks for the tip.  I was willing to put up with it for April Fool's Day, plus I wasn't feeling well, so I was a bit lazy.  However, now I'm going to manually change it.  I'm feeling better today and am highly annoyed by the font.

Aaaand we're back to normal. Sorry to whoever that one guy is who likes the SMF default white and blue theme, I had to set everyone to the Button Copy theme to make the Clearview go away!

Ahem...that was me...the default is much easier on my eyes than ANY of your button copy options.

Oddly enough, I didn't even notice that the April Fools font was Clearview. I just noticed that it was different.

Was the fore-mentioned forum in question an aviation-based one?  I know of one that did such (for April 1) several years ago.
