    First thing that obviously jumps out is the change from a dark to white background. Personally I much prefer the dark background.

    I like being able to switch with the "style chooser" (lower left corner), really allows you to get a better idea of the differences.

    I like a lot of the new design elements...just can't get over the white background.

    EDIT: Being able to see who VIEWED a thread in the new style... A+++

    Hey! Good morning. I've only been around about a month and I like the idea of having the background as a default white. I like the idea of being able to have all the different font colors at my disposal. Plus, all the icons really pop out off the screen.

    You can see who viewed in the old style as well. Appreciate the feedback.

    I can always do I dark version of this as well.

    Don't mind it at all. The white background is actually a lot more work friendly.

    Agree that the ability to toggle would be great. Well done.

    I just noticed that! Is that new (or new-ish) or have I just overlooked it?

    I think a dark version of the new look would be top notch!

    I'm a fan of the previous styling. Easier to read.

    I agree with the dark background being the way to go. Much more reader friendly, imo.

    I just saw the new style. At first it looks like everything new looks like. Scary :) I think once you get used to it you won't even remember how you felt today. Every Windows version feels like that to me as well, or when Facebook changes some format. Then you get used to it and it blends.

    My personal opinion is that light backgrounds stick out a lot less at work environment. So as much as I don't like change, I think I like this one.

    Like the pop-up preview for the thread.

    For some reason a white background makes it more modern to me

    I do like the pop-up for the threads.

    Definitely not a fan of the white, though. Harder on the eyes. I'd be curious to see how it looks as more of a grey/light grey though.

    I really, really like the layout a lot. Everything looks fresh. Only complaint I have is that it's almost too white to me, I'd definitely prefer a darker background. Maybe not black, but a dark grey or something similar. Much easier on the eyes. Otherwise, I like where this is going!

    Looks great, Shaun Mason. Very clean.

    I agree on the white background being a bit tougher on the eyes than say a grey.

    I got no notifications for the first few then finally got one for you quoting me. Still having an issue connecting to server for me.

    Probably on my end then.

    You get a notification for a new post, then nothing from that thread until you are either quoted, mentioned (depending on settings) or until you view the post. So until you check it, there are no notifications...at least that's how mine seems to work.

    I would get them for replies to any thread I was subscribed to. Still having issues connecting. Going to try updating the app.
