| Dec 7, 2018 at 18:37 | comment | added | Jon Ericson Staff | @jeq: I'd direct you to this post instead. | |
| Dec 7, 2018 at 18:31 | comment | added | jeq | Perhaps in view of meta.stackexchange.com/revisions/314979/35, this post should be closed as "no longer relevant"? | |
| Dec 7, 2018 at 18:10 | comment | added | Jon Ericson Staff | @Suvrit: You can hide the sidebar with a user setting. ("Hide left navigation" in the Navigation section.) We're headed toward making good use of the sidebar with custom question lists. It's also possible we'll move the navigation around in the future. Before this change, that would not have been a possibility since each custom design had different navigation displays. | |
| Dec 7, 2018 at 17:01 | comment | added | Suvrit | Having a left nav-bar seems like a giant leap backwards in web design, no? It eats into the screen real-estate needlessly, and interferes with smooth / easy reading of the questions. With a left bar, and a right bar, the space for actual valuable content, aka, the question and answer appears reduced / full of distractions. I wish such changes were not thrust upon the community by fiat like this! | |
| Dec 5, 2018 at 9:08 | comment | added | gparyani | The green highlight of accepted answers was removed as part of this change. Back when this site was being migrated in from Stack Exchange 1.0, this was an element of the design that the site was allowed to keep. Why is it being removed now? | |
| Dec 3, 2018 at 0:08 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | @AlexM. Orange has been part of the MO logo since the beginning, I think, so it is in some sense "on brand". | |
| Dec 2, 2018 at 17:05 | comment | added | Alex M. | @JonEricson: Is orange the only colour available? I know that this could start an endless debate, so I don't want to push it too far, but orange seems too... bright and noisy, maybe? I find the Math.SE colour scheme very pleasant and putting little strain on the eye. (Of course, this minor annoyance won't make me stop using MO, it will only make it slightly more unpleasant, visually.) | |

| Nov 21, 2018 at 17:45 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @GNiklasch I would guess that among the sites where the new theme is already live, many MO users are probably familiar with Mathematics. From the corresponding meta site: Mathematics new site theme is live. | |
| Nov 21, 2018 at 13:00 | comment | added | GNiklasch | FWIW, tex.stackexchange.com is one site where a responsive-design theme is already deployed (whether or not one has opted in to beta themes). electronics.stackexchange.com is another. | |

| Nov 20, 2018 at 18:25 | comment | added | Jon Ericson Staff | @HarryGindi: Yes. I pass along requests to our developers and designers. I can't make any promise that a specific feature request will be implemented, of course. | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 14:56 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | Oh god. I was dreading this day. | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 14:25 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | @მამუკაჯიბლაძე You can click on the large MathOverflow logo on the top of the page. | |

| Nov 20, 2018 at 13:56 | comment | added | GNiklasch | @მამუკაჯიბლაძე When left navigation is hidden, it is actually hiding in the left corner of the top navigation bar - so from my User page, or most anywhere else, the questions page is only a couple of clicks away. (On the home page, there's also a direct link at the bottom.) | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 12:33 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | @EmilJeřábek Then how can I go from my user page to the questions page? I mean, I can do it from the upper right corner list of all SE sites, and MO is usually on the top of the list for me, but... | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 11:43 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | @მამუკა Concerning the space on the left, try checking "Hide left navigation" on the user preference page. | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 9:57 | comment | added | Harry Gindi | Can changes be made based on feedback in this thread? | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 9:48 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | I just noticed it: is having no different background for accepted answers also a must? If yes, I will downvote too >:D | |

| Nov 20, 2018 at 8:57 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | On the other hand I do like colors, borders, etc. so I decided to neither up- nor downvote :) | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 8:52 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | There is so much empty space on the left it almost feels like a bug :P | |
| Nov 20, 2018 at 4:55 | comment | added | Jon Ericson Staff | @gparyani: We've been discussing this change with the moderators and given them a sneak preview for the past week. As always, we are honored to have MathOverflow as a part of the Stack Exchange network. I hope people will provide their honest feedback in the answers below so that we can have a productive conversation about the new theme. | |
