Shift: Now available for Invision Community 5

[Ehren]

Shift is now available for Invision Community 5!

Shift is a clean theme with vivid primary and secondary colours and an optional Background Picker for the page background.

It has been coded from scratch for Invision Community v5 and introduces a brand new dark mode. Your members can use the Background Picker to choose their own image from a predefined selection (you can also upload separate images for light and dark mode). The demo doesn't have the Background Picker enabled, but I can assure you it exists  

Take a look at the demo and feel free to leave your feedback or suggestions below!

Hi,

I just installed it, where do I find this?

[Square Wheels]

Never mind, I see I needed to enable it.

[Square Wheels]

OK, I take it back.

I go to theme settings, enable it, save it, close theme settings, and the selector goes away.

Strange, it’s working correctly on my demo board when I enable it. I’ll likely need you to send me login details so I can take a closer look on your site.

Ehren I don't see the customizer on your demo board for v5 shift  so I cannot test the theme all I see is existing user sign in..

Shift v4 didn’t have the background picker enabled by default, so I made the same decision for the v5 update. It comes with a Background Picker but it doesn’t include The Customizer in v5.
