how to turn off new FW look?

I saw the thread in hot deals about beta.fatwallet.com. so I went to try it out, and don't like the green background. I was using the classic theme, but I can't seem to get back to the classic theme. I went to user profile -> forums -> preferences, i'm already in classic mode. I even tried going to modern and then back to classic, but I still have the green background. is there a way to get the classic back with the grey background?

I want the classic look back, too.

Okay chief muck muck, how about an easy link like the one added when the clasic look was trashed.

Under Modern, a user was able to select the Classic look if so desired.
Modern evolved and I'm sure a lot of people eventually changed to Modern.

You could put links like:

Classic for the people wo never left it.

Modern for those who prefer that look, and

StupidFuglyAwfulDumb for the current look.

Bring back the theme color to apply to the top banner...ouch...I need some of this:

Look - I know how much of a pain it is to work on multiple code bases. In the long run, it is not viable to have developers spending their day fixing changes in the "New Look Site" and then having to make those same changes in the "Old Look Site."

That said, I had not changed from the "Classic" look and did not feel the need to. Not a single update that was "Modern-Only" was enough to persuade me to change over. Its simple - I do not care for change that much unless it is needed. Is there a way to get my account back to the classic look and feel? I simple do not care for this. If the developers can find a css style that we can apply for the classic look I would appreciate it - would allow them to focus on writing features without having to duplicate functionality in two web projects.

Skygeek said: Go to My Account, Select Site Color Theme.

Classic user here. Thank you for pointing out the color theme setting option. I've selected a dark blue color theme.

While it doesn't restore the look I wanted, it is way better than the bilious green default which had been inflicted upon me.

Hey folks,

It looks like this is the new fatwallet look and it is here to stay. I can say that I do not care for it and luckily you do not have to. You can make fatwallet look the way it did previously with judicious use of a firefox extension called greasemonkey and a small user script.

Before the change
After the change

Note: I made a small change, after I made the above picture, as I noticed my private message area wasnt shown. Rest assured, thats fixed.

Note: You should not execute scripts that someone asks you to. Do not take my word that the following script is safe - wait for another web developer to wander through the forum and validate this. The plain javascript snippet will do nothing but hide the borders, moves the account information node into the visible area, and make sure that you see the "Forums" link again. The greasemonkey script will wait until fatwallet, itself, finishes loading a javascript util called "JQuery" and then executes the same script. Again, you should not trust user scripts people just tell you to execute - wait for another web developer to wander through and say "Yeah, this script is fine."

You can preview the user script by pasting the following link into your url bar and pressing enter. Validates that this works in IE and Firefox.

javascript:void($("#forumSubNavLinks").append("
<a href='http://fatwallet.com/forums'>All Forums</a>"););void($("#headLinkContainer").parent().parent().parent().show().clone().attr("style","float:left;padding-left:10px;").prependTo("#forumBottom-inner"));void($(".pageFrame:not(.pageFrame:has(#siteContentWrap))").hide());void($("#forumInfo").attr("style","padding-left:10px;"));

function GM_wait() {
	if(typeof unsafeWindow.jQuery == 'undefined') { window.setTimeout(GM_wait,10); }
	else { $ = unsafeWindow.jQuery; onJqueryLoaded(); }
}

GM_wait();
function onJqueryLoaded() {
	$("#forumSubNavLinks").append("
<a href='http://fatwallet.com/forums'>All Forums</a>");
	$("#headLinkContainer").parent().parent().parent().show().clone().attr("style","float:left;padding-left:10px;").prependTo("#forumBottom-inner");
	$(".pageFrame:not(.pageFrame:has(#siteContentWrap))").hide();
	$("#forumInfo").attr("style","padding-left:10px;");
}

Moderators - I assume that this is fine to post here. Would welcome you to look over the script yourself and validate that it does nothing more than what I have claimed.
