Where did the option to switch to 2010 xda site go? - About xda-developers.com

Hi all,
As per the title... Where did the option to switch to 2010 xda site go? No offense but I absolutely HATE this new site layout and up till yesterday I had been presented with the option to use the 2010 site layout but it seems that option has now been removed.
I am sure I am not the only one who prefers the old style of the site over this new one so is it possible to at least put the option back us so we can choose?
It wouldnt be so bad except that the new site does not scale properly and you have to constantly use the bottom scroll bar to see what it is your reading or looking for and that is annoying as hell!
Please advise...

Just scroll down to the very bottom of the page in the left hand corner and change the drop down theme to XDA 2010. Or go down to the bottom of your options page and change the skin.

WOW!!! Do I feel dumb... Lol... The option used to be up top by the logo and now that its gone I thought the option was as well.
Thanks for the kick in the pants!!! LOL!!!
Also, for those that want to keep the new theme on the site but are having the "not scaling properly" issue as I mentioned, scroll over to the right and in the top corner there is a button that will activate the "side Bar" which will then push everything you need to see into the screen.

[THEME] Apple Mac (OSX Leopard) for WAD2 by Mallman

Available at www.swampthing.net
Looks very nice, you're on a roll!
Funny thing, I'm using the same calendar icon in a theme I'm working on. It's far from finished as the whole black area with the appointments still needs to be done, but just wanted to share it with you because of the icon.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for everything you have done.
But this don't work for me-HD- :Q: How do I navigate this theme?
A: This theme is pretty much all buttons. While on the main page you can slide your finger from bottom to top to bring up the apps page and from top to bottom to return to main page. While on the apps page you can also slide right to left to see the seond apps page
I can't slide the page.
Everything else works perfectly.
Any ideas???????????????????
Thanks.

n0ot sure why not. when on the main page just place finger on screen and slide. you have to put a little pressure. you can check the gesture by going into author mode and then tap/hold and select page>properties. then check and see if your gestures are there.
updaed FAQ navigation question
new version with a changed look uploaded. See post #1 for details on how to obtain it
cheers dude, great collection and thanks again.

a tip to sliding the pages is to put a little pressure and make sure you are not in author mode.

Small UI problem with Mango

Hello,
I officially updated to 7.5 using Zune on my Vodafone Germany-branded LG E900.
Now when I go to settings and scroll to the very bottom it looks like there was place for one more item.
Normally I have 6 fully visible setting items in the list, but when I scroll as far down as I can, there are only 5 fully visible items in the list and at the bottom there's black space.
This is true for both system and app settings.
Is this normal?

It's normal on all mango phones, and actually, its quite comfortable for me, because I hold my phone with my thumb dead center, and when tapping the last item I don't have to reach the very bottom of the screen, and that black gap right there just fixes it for me
But I don't know, maybe its for future integrated apps? Or maybe its because of the modified "more options" aka the three dots ... navbar got slimmer on some hubs like Picture and Zune, and People.

Well OK I was just wondering because I don't see this on other lists.
I don't really like but I guess I can live with it.

Anyone Else Really Digging The Address Bar At The Bottom?

First time really using Mango. I just love the bar at the bottom in IE. As mobile's get bigger it's stunningly awesome. The only thing left I want is for it to hide and I'll swipe to go get it and swiping tabs.
Very cool feature. Thought I would hate it at first.
Its different. But they really need to revamp I.e. N quick and accessible back and forward buttons

I second that, what with these huge screens now it's so easy to get to, whereas before was a bit of an effort, especially if you're in bed using it lying down.

I don't get it - why do you like the address bar being permanently stuck there? Do you really need to constantly look down and be reminded of what site you're on?
Back / Forward / Favourites / Tabs buttons like on iOS (or WP7 pre-Mango) would be far more useful. I honestly can't see how being able to see the URL of the site is a cool feature; would love it if you could explain..

You should read better. He just likes the new position. But he clearly said that he would want it to hide after a few seconds.
I love the address-bar at the bottom and I agree it would be even more awesome if it had autohide after a few secs.
I prefer it at the bottom with no autohide. when i am done reading a site, i want to type a new address or go to favorites, not mess with trying to make it reappear.
It also is following windows 8 metro IE 10. It's the same way.

Besides the fact that the IE10 address bar on Windows 8 DOES hide on left click.

Just tap anywhere on a site that doesn't contain a link. Your address bar should disappear. At least it does on my W8 CP when I left click.
On my Trophy, the address bar at the bottom is a pain for me. I do a lot of single-hand typing - when the address bar was at the top, it was easy to 'thumb', but now its just not as easy...more risk me dropping the phone etc.
Plus I now sometimes accidentally press the windows or back button as well, when selecting the bar.
A simple option in settings would be nice.

confirmed. Not sure why i didn't notice the behavior. You have to wait for the site to finish loading before it will minimize. on Windows 8 CP
Its good and there should be a button to swap tabs at the side of the address bar.
I feel like Windows Phone 8 will bring a lot of gestures and UX elements from Windows 8. For example IE will be full screen on the phone and you would swipe from the top bar to bring up the menus.. Super awesome I think. Then in the menu you can add the address bar, back and forward buttons or whatever common functions you need in IE.
i don't care if the address bar is at bottom or on top. i need the "find on page" back. i almost stopped using the browser.

There's a JavaScript that does exactly that. Add it to your favorites and voila, you have your find on page feature back. Not as convenient as having it as part of the menu though.

[Q] Removing/Changing the apps in the bottom row of the home screen

Hi there,
Just got a new Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. There's a line of apps installed below the page/panel indicator on the home screens, with a bunch of (to me) ill chosen apps. But I can't drag them off the screen to delete them, like I can the ones above the page indicator. I can't find any mention of what this apparently separate panel is called to search better.
Of interest, are people happy with their purchase of one of these? So far I'm finding it pretty ordinary - not horrible, just ordinary...

Just drag the apps on the lower part of your home screen to the upper part where it says delete. then you can go to your apps and drag them to the lower part of your home screen to add them in the dock
If you're saying about the lock screen then I don't know
Hi!
I'm pretty happy with the tab 10.1! With the latest OTA update it runs even smoother! The runtime is great, can handle up to 5 days with daily usage without charging. I received my leather case today, a 360° case.. I can put it horizontal or vertical and it "wakes up" when i open the case.
With that prize its an absolutely recommendation.

Hi there,
On the default home page, there's two large widgets on the top (weather and news). Below that there's a Google search bar. Below that there's a row of shortcuts. These all behave normally. Below that there's the page/panel indicator (telling you which home page you're on) and then at the bottom there's another row of shortcuts. It's that last, bottom row that I'm having trouble with. They don't seem to act normally - I can't drag them off to delete as normal. They appear to be hardwired. They are not the choice I would select and I want to change them.
Are other people able to delete these shortcuts?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. I'm tired of reading the answer "click and hold then drag it up". It seems to be the stock answer on all forums. They won't move! No matter what I do, the ridiculous row of apps bottom most on the screen is stuck. There's no help for this in the help app/widget. Someone must know how to unlock these darn things. I want to replace them with ones I use regularly.

Qranparoger,
Unfortunately that is the correct answer of click and hold and move. I just did it to mine and I can move two of the three apps I have in the bottom row. The only one that cannot move is APPS. My SETTINGS and FIREFOX can both be moved to the main screen above the bottom row.
My tab is rooted, but uses stock rom. There is nothing special about what I have done. I checked settings to see if I had changed a display or security function but I do not see anything. I do remember when I first got the tab that I too was having problems. But I do remember solving it and removing the bottom row (except APPS) and rearranging the icons or deleting the icons.
It think that maybe it might be in the APPLICATION MANAGER in SETTINGS that you "Turn Off" the app and it might vanish from the bottom of the screen. Again, I cannot remember how I did it but it can be done.

Latest ROM update - still can't change the apps. My tab isn't rooted, and I couldn't be bothered to now. I don't necessarily want to "turn off" the apps, just not use my precious home screen space. Anyway, I solved the problem by buying a Nexus. Yep, free Samsung is just collecting dust, piece of rubbish... Before anyone rages on me, there's a bunch of reasons I didn't like the Samsung, not just this one thing.

Meh... it is all good. Since you got the tab for free, you can send it to me. Give me something to play around with. :laugh::laugh:

How do I remove the sidebar from the forum?

Is there a way to remove the sidebar on the forums, the bar on the right with portal posts ? It takes up almost a third of my screen, and causes very weird formatting issues. For example many times the forum page is rendered underneath the side bar and text and everything is hidden underneath. I have no use for that bar and would rather get rid of it. I've searched in settings and don't see an option to disable it.
Hello, @spinedoc,
The XDA 2015 themes do not have an option to hide their side panels by default. However, you do have two options:
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the Style Chooser. Click on it, and then choose "XDA 2013 Beta - 1024". Boom - no more side panel.
If you really like the XDA 2015 themes but just don't want the side panel, you can use this userscript by @anazhd to do just that. No more side panel!
Hope this helps, and regards,

Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately I use IE11 so the scripts won't help. I'll try reverting back to older versions of the forum, but it's a shame as I really like the 2015 version. Can you please pass along the feedback? I think the side bar is simply awful, it takes up almost a 3rd of my screen and most of the time the forum gets rendered behind the side bar, making the forum kind of useless. Why force feed the portal posts down our throats?
Anyhow thank you for the help!!!
Edit: 2013 works, but no dark theme, sigh...
@spinedoc,
Actually, so many hundreds of users have expressed the same feelings as you over in this thread that I'm sure almost every moderator and admin on XDA knows that most of us don't like the sidebar!
