R2R "Dark Theme" - Missed It - Love It!!!!

Fish Fan · Dec 12, 2024

Friends, I noticed recently that my much preferred "dark theme" for R2R mysteriously disappeared. This has happened before, but typically comes right back. Not so much this last time that I lost it, I've been without the dark theme for a week or so now, but I didn't want to complain.... At least about this lol!

But my Dark Theme popped back up tonight, woohoo!!!

I'm here now to let anyone know who will listen..... I MUCH prefer the Dark Theme, and really appreciate the R2R Mods bringing this back

Thanks, R2R!

you know that the little lightbulb on the top right of the screen allows you to turn dark mode on and off right?

Dark themes always been there. If youre on pc there's a little light bulb next to your avatar, otherwise on mobile you can change from dark to light in your account settings

OK, without rehashing the whole Freshwater thing (which was NEVER the "idea" of my old post I'm going to link here), I posted once before because R2R used to let you select between a "light" and "dark" theme, and the last time I went in to change that, I found the "R2R Freshwater" selection, and though all I did was just question if R2R had a freshwater section that I didn't know about, that thread got entirely derailed ;-)

But I'm not making this up lol!

This old post shows a screen pic where I could select from "light", "dark", and dare I say, "Freshwater" theme - GASP! LOL!

R2R Fresh Water???

Tonight, randomly and suddenly, I lost my much preferred "dark theme" for R2R. I went into my settings and re-selected "dark theme", and problem solved. But while I was there, I noticed a selection for "R2R Fresh Water". What gives! I keep freshwater tanks, and I'm technically a member at The...

I'm thrilled, I like my "Dark Theme", but is there a Global setting we can tick, or should I just hit that silly light bulb, that I had no idea what it did before lol?!?!

Thanks guys!

Vodka Dosing Dip for the Reefer?

Saurian Brandy

Ingredients:

1/4 cup grated Orange rind
1 pint 100 proof Vodka
1 cup Sugar
2/3 cup grade "A" Maple syrup

Mixing instructions:

Put orange rind in a half-pint jar with 1/4 cup vodka. Seal it and shake occasionally. Let it steep overnight. -- Pour sugar and 1 2/3 cups vodka into a 28 ounce bottle. Seal it and shake until all the sugar is dissolved, then add the maple syrup. -- Filter the orange extract through a fine handkerchief or coffee filter until it becomes clear. -- Add a tablespoon of the final extract to the vodka syrup mixture and mix well. If your orange peels are much more or less aromatic than average, adjust the quantity so that you have enough to hide the maple flavor, without having enough to make the liqueur bitter or recognizably orange flavored.

The recipe comes from the 'Official Star Trek Cooking Manual' (Bantam Books 1978) by Mary Ann Piccard, but not even Paramount will acknowledge it anymore.
