[Benmc20]

So, no more tests ? I switched back to the old interface, without any possibility toswitch to the new one (which I prefer).

What did you do to switch back to the old interface?

Yes, the beta ended. The changes are being rolled out over the next few weeks (see: https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13510484-mod-browsing-overhaul-rollout). So it will take some time for the website to look exactly like it did during the beta.

It's not possible to switch back.

Can we not have it look exactly like it did during the beta? I had to apply a special stylesheet to make up for its faults. As usual with all site rollouts (not just Nexus), I saw no evidence the company listened to a darn thing we said.

Most of which boiled down to: STOP WASTING VERTICAL SPACE.

There's too much contrast and weird font changes, it feels like I took off my glasses. Blur and harsh colors, it hurts my eyes.

Free style sheet for use with the Stylus extension, or whatever equivalent you have:

https://github.com/LummoxJR/Nexusmods-style-fixes

It covers mod pages and mod listings. I didn't explore much else with the beta so I'm sure I'll find other things to update when more of it rolls out.

Dunno anything about this beta but my notifications are still broken and have been for likely years.

The only notifications I seem to get are "mods are now available for a game you've never heard of" which is the least interesting thing to me. I don't get updates to mods I'm following, or replies to my comments or anything that actually involves ME.

[ImFreja]

Please tell me there is a way to go back to the old layout.

I'm sorry but I really don't like this change. Too much empty space and the color contrast is way too harsh

Hi...how do i install this? I installed the Stylus Extension for Firefox, but when i want to import a style it wants files in *.json format. I get the instruction to drag and drop the file on the webpage tab, but the i just get to see the code of your css-file

If you're on Firefox, you can stuff it into a UserContent.css file (there're a couple more steps to enable using it, IIRC, though). That way only specific sites are affected and you don't have to download another extension.

update: installed Stylus. 1. Open nexusmods. 2. Open LummoxJR's github page in a new tab (just copy the style from the css page). 3. In the Nexus tab click the Stylus icon and in the drop-down menu choose "create style for" (click on the nexus address). 4. You'll be taken to a new tab - erase all code there and past LummoxJR's code. 5. Click 'Save' on the left. Enjoy!
