Hey everyone!
EpiUsers is turning 10 years old, and to celebrate, we’ve given the site a fresh coat of paint. Our old theme was getting long in the tooth (read not compatible with new features). It served us well, but it was time for a refresh
Also, you know how the mods hate peace and quiet. Things were running too smoothly around here, so we figured the best way to generate some chaos was to change how everything looks overnight.
What’s New
Light Mode & Dark Mode
Yes, proper dark mode. Not some auto-generated inversion that makes everything look radioactive, but a hand-tuned dark theme built on a slate navy palette that’s easy on the eyes during those late-night Epicor debugging sessions.
-
Light Mode - Clean white background, Swimming Blue links, deep Michigan Blue header
-
Dark Mode - Slate navy background, Swimming Blue links that pop without blinding you, darker header that blends naturally
There’s now a toggle right in the sidebar (shown below) to switch between Light, Dark, and Auto (follows your OS setting). No need to dig through preferences.
Design Choices
Everything is built from our official brand colors, the same ones in the EpiUsers logo: Swimming Blue, Burnt Orange, Michigan Blue, and Teal. You’ll see them throughout links, buttons, accents, and notifications.
Biggest visual changes:
-
Larger header with a blue accent line underneath
-
Better hover/active states across the board (you can actually tell what you’re clicking now)
-
Buttons and navigation are consistent with the brand palette
-
Category logos sized down to something reasonable
Dark Mode Specific
The dark theme isn’t just “invert the colors.” We used a slate navy instead of pure black and tuned all the hover states so they actually work on dark backgrounds.
“But I Liked It How It Was!”
I hear you. Change is hard. The good news is the Who Moved My Cheese badge is already queued up and ready to be assigned en masse as soon as the complaints roll in. 
Seriously though, if something looks broken, weird, or unreadable on your setup, let me know. Drop a reply here with:
-
What’s wrong (screenshot helps!)
-
Which theme you’re using (Light/Dark)
-
Your browser + OS
This is a community site. If something isn’t working for you, I want to fix it.
Happy 10 years, EpiUsers. Here’s to 10 more of helping each other figure out why that BAQ won’t run. 
(you probably forgot to join on Company…)
