tempStyle v3​

What's this!? Welcome to GBAtemp (v7)!
​

We are storming into 2020 with a brand new look! We've made quite a few changes and tweaks to make GBAtemp an even better experience across the board! We've gone and trawled through every corner of GBAtemp to bring a more cohesive and streamlined design to every inch of the site! So please feel free to take a look around and get accustomed.

Dark style user? Fear not! Dark and black versions of tempStyle 3 will be available... immediately! Yes, that's right - dark and black mode themes for tempStyle 3 are ready to go. But that's not all...

We'll talk more about the new style in a moment but before we get too deep into the new look, let's take a quick look back at GBAtemp during 2019. This was a great year for GBAtemp with many new faces joining and new site features to boot!

GBAtemp in 2019 - A Recap:

We kicked 2019 off with our first official review of the year, which was Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch, which scored a hearty 8.5. A massive 200 reviews were written by our staff, breaking all prior yearly records. Of course, those lofty heights wouldn't have been able to have been reached, without the new additions to our magazine staff! @relauby, @RattletraPM, @KiiWii, and @Ericzander all joined the orange team in 2019, and we appreciate all the content they've written this year!

The writing staff also re-re-rebooted GBAtemp Recommends yet again, with entries for The Classic Fallout Series (which was even endorsed by the Fallout series creator Brian Fargo himself! How exciting!), The Danganronpa Series, Silent Hill, and just recently, Dead Rising.

April saw us do some foolin' using the newly announced Stadia platform as bait and dropping truth bombs with Gaming Perfection: Bubsy 3D.

Fast-forward to June, and we see @Chary take her yearly trip to E3 with a ton of coverage and media! This year's expo brought us news regarding Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Breath of the Wild 2, more information on the long-awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake, and memes abound, with the reveal of Keanu Reeves starring in next year's Cyberpunk 2077.

It was during E3 that Nintendo announced that not every Pokémon would be available in Pokémon Sword and Shield, disappointing fans, and turning Sword and Shield's pre-release speculation into a dramatic event that shook the internet for months.

Another milestone happened when we revived the beloved shirt sale, and launched a GBAtemp merch Redbubble store. There was even a contest for our users to create their own shirt design, and submit it in a contest. @CeeDee, @Jiehfeng, and @Dr.Hacknik managed to create some hilarious and snazzy-looking pieces of clothing!

30 new issues of Temper Tantrums - the GBAtemp webcomic were published, from our lovely team of artists, such as @x65943, @Sushiru_River, @WhiteMaze, and more!

Nintendo's online offerings continued to disappoint, with paid online services still being outclassed by homebrew such as LAN-play and RetroArch. Do you think we'll see Nintendo Switch Online improve in the new year?

Something that fans had been waiting months for had been achieved in December, as Nintendo Wii U emulator Cemu was updated to v1.16.0, introducing the Vulkan renderer benefiting AMD users everywhere. This emulator certainly has come a long way! Congrats to the Cemu team!

We also added a new Developer role to the site to help respect and bring attention to the hard-working people that make this scene what it is. Thank you, for all your contributions to the scene!

Topping things off, in November we added one of the biggest GBAtemp features yet - the GBAtemp Game Center, cataloguing over 122,000 games! Not only does it allow users to easily mention games within threads, but it also features a weekly release date calendar, game ratings, and a wide variety of information, all available directly on GBAtemp itself!

Also, don't forget to try your luck in the last of this year's last Tempmas event for a chance to win! You can't go wrong with a chance to get free stuff!!

I really like the new design but there's one problem.

On the dark preset the text color when writing a post is still dark-blue which is really hard to see.

It's cache related and should resolve itself

The new layout is beautiful, but we're still in the same decade...

You need to buy a calendar half price most shops at mo

It's wrong.
The calendar starts at year 1. A decade = 10 years. 1 + 10 = 11. So the decade ends in 2020 and the new one starts at 2021.
It's the same logic that applies to centuries.

LOL - it starts at 0 like 1980 to 1989 thts called the decade of the eighties

why does everyone keep saying this

 

[phalk]

why does everyone keep saying this

Because it's a fact.
There is no year 0 in the calendar. The AD calendar (Common Era) starts at year 1 AD. Before year 1 AD you get year 1 BC.

Some people forget zero is a number

Cmon mate use yr common sense you aint gonna include 1990 in the decade of the eighties

This is my last reply as this is diverting the thread, but it works like this:

Year 1 AD - 1st decade - 1st Century
Year 11 AD - 2nd decade - 1st Century
Year 2001 AD - 1st decade - 21st Century
Year 2011 AD - 2nd decade - 21st Century
Year 2021 AD - 3rd decade - 21st Century

So, each decade starts at 1 and ends at 10.
Same for every century.
20th century goes from 1901 to 2000
21st century goes from 2001 to 2100

And so on.

I love this new layout!
Thank you for your efforts to keep this site up-to-date!!

Evviva GBATemp!

 

[eskinner3742]

Just wanted to say you did a great job with the redesign. It's the same temp format with a stylish new look and revamped UI. Works fantastic on mobile which is how I mainly browse the site. Also, the smaller tweaks go a long way. Props to all involved, you deserve it

Despite the fact that there is truth to what you are saying, over 2000 years we stopped caring that AD began in the year 1

This is one of those situations that while technically correct, it is ridiculous and used by no one

Reminds me of the saying "knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"

Everyday definitions of terms differ from what may be technically correct - but you're gonna run around looking like an arse if you "correct" everyone on a matter that people pretty much universally agree on

A tad pedantic

while i like the new designs and rounded corners i think the centered posts in the thread layout is a huge waste of screen real estate and that it is harsh on my aging eyes
the huge grey border on the left and smaller font size is not an improvement IMO

 

[Panzerfaust]

I need some time to adapt to the new design. It looks good thou

Make sure to read both posts, as the FAQ solves the centered posts dilemma!

And in case you wish not to read through, let me direct you to the bottom of your page, where on the bottom left, you'll see a four-corner-icon, that when clicked on, distributes everything to full screen.


Awesome work on this!! Love everything about it, and it looks like the majority of people do as well!

 

[DarthDub]

Everytime I close and reopen my browser, it keeps going back to default instead of staying in Dark Mode. I didn't have this issue with temp-style 2.
Edit: I actually read the OP and this is a known issue.
