Thanks a lot, saved me a lot of work.
Finally trakt looks nice again with the old styles.

Well I backtracked a bit on just going through the diffs and decided to do an initial release of the userstyle:
and the repository - GitHub - StylusThemes/Trakt-Depurplify: Trakt Depurplify - Reverse the Purplification of Trakt
Initial release is very unoptimized and literally just a copy of the old stylesheet from before the whole makeover and it works reliably for the most part, along with a few small fixes and hosting the font on the repo as well so that if trakt devs decide to delete the fonts it won’t matter.
I plan on now at least going and making an actual reversal theme myself but that will take a bit longer to do, and will actually be optimized, I’m possibly thinking about making it to where users can change colors as they please as well but that idea is TBD.

Good job, but instead of a UserStyle would it be possible to have a more standard and usable UserScript?
For example, UserStyles cannot used on the second most used browser (desktop + mobile) in the world: Safari.

yes that is because people post only if they have negative. I posted that i liked it. Most of the users post (you can see that they have also posted for the first time) just to say don’t like it so the posts and number of posts really do not tell the overall truth.
Just to show that there are more people who aren’t a fan of this makeover, I’m posting.
Please Trakt add the option to revert back to the old theme. Not a big fan of the logo, the font, or the color. The old ones were perfect.

And what’s that BLACK CIRCLE I keep seeing when loading a page (or refresh). I thought I have a stroke… pretty scary!

Please please please keep the old logo.
Make it purple I don’t care but do not use this checkmark

The silence from the side of the Trakt devs is deafening

I’ll look into doing one soon possibly, I just prefer userstyles as that is what I am used to and have done for literally all my styles I’ve ever created and I don’t have a Mac nor use Safari at all so have never ran into an issue with userstyles but I’ll look into it but can’t promise a whole lot right now as my main focus will be on the userstyle version right now.

Sadly this is pretty much standard from the Trakt devs, their whole shtick has always been to release something the community doesn’t like, have major backlash on the change, then say they are listening to feedback and such and then never do or say anything from that point on about the change until the next big change happens that causes more backlash again.

looks ugly to me. I don’t recognize the website anymore.
It has lost his spirit…
Please reconsider this change.
Sincerly,
Achla.

I have to admit I also don’t like at all this new logo. Please reconsider.

The logo is fine i think, just remove the gradient and make it full red, make it a circle instead of a square and maybe a T (for Trakt) instead of a random check mark and it’d be perfect

I guess I’ll pile on… Not the best change. Seems to be the year of missed changes with the Ars Technica one going over poorly as well.
Same feedback as others:
The Trakt logo was distinctive, and now how does it relate more to Trakt vs. to-do list? Media is fun, not work.
While I like the idea of purple a lot, it doesn’t work as well as the red.
I would revert to classic style if given the choice in settings.
Unfortunately seems like a solution looking for a problem in this case?

I don’t think the purple is that great. Loved the Red color.

It’s confusing that only SOME things are changed to purple, and other things are left as red.
Example attached.

Here are some updates I just released:
- Dark Knight: lighter purple used for more contrast
- Font: reduce the boldness and fixed some spacing
- Logos: removed the top and loading animations
- Progress Bars: improved bar contrast and fixed some calculation bugs
- Progress: icons colors for watched (purple) + collected (green)
- Release Notes: purple badge
- VIP: red is used for VIP badges + related VIP buttons
- Watching Now: red is used for checkins + real time watching progress
- On Deck: fixed missing 1px border in dark knight mode so progress bar aligns better
- Colors: fixed various icon and action colors
Other notes:
- We are discussing the fonts and VIP selectable themes.
- iOS and Android apps are still in review for the new branding updates.
- We welcome all the feedback and good discussion. However, please keep it civil and don’t try and sabatoge the process.
- Of course we care and value your feedback. Trakt has been built over the years by communicating back and forth with you all.
- We’ll continue to fix bugs and issues.

Overall, I wish logo and branding didn’t change, but since we will just have to live with the change, the latest change to lighter purple in knight mode on fonts make A HUGE impact. that change was needed so it was easier to read.
