Kunena 6.2.5 & module Kunena Latest 6.0.7 released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.2.5 [K 6.2.5] which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.3.x/4.4.x/5.0.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.1 / K 6.2 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.2
Solved Creating a BBcode toolbar for dark-themed templates
or perhaps a way to style the entire tr? I can see how to style just the icon background but it really should see the entire bar not just the icons themselves if it makes any sense.
I really hope cyprsis supports dark templates well.

Recently, when I was building a website that uses a Kunena forum, I wanted to experiment with the use of font-based glyphs instead of the images you see in the BBcode toolbar on this site.
As we know, the standard Kunena BBcode toolbar does a bit of fancy CSS fiddling with the image ../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/media/iconsets/editor/default/default.png. If people use a dark-themed template, the "images" may not render as "nicely" as people would like to see them. Also, when a person uses browser zooming, these images become less clear when they're enlarged.
Instead of using image-based glyphs, I experimented with a couple of different fonts - there are a lot of them around (e.g. Glyphicons Halflings, FontAwesome, IcoMoon) - to produce a toolbar like this:
There are three benefits in using font-based gylphs:
(1) the clarity remains consistent if you zoom in or out;
(2) you can customise each tool quite easily (font-size, colour, background, etc.) instead of having to redesign a whole new set of images; and
(3) you do not have to change the Kunena source-code.
The downside is that you can only use a single colour but, if you look at a lot of professionally developed software today - particularly those products developed by Apple (e.g Safari, iTunes) - there's a trend in using monochromatic, font-based glyphs.

I can demonstrate the effect but my site is one that you have to pay to join.
The forum at this site is K 3.0.5 using an unmodified Blue Eagle template. I made no changes to the Kunena CSS files. All the changes were made by creating a separate file of CSS modifications that only affect the forum - in other words, they only affect the "#Kunena" elements - and "@include" this file when the site CSS is loaded.
If you're interested you can look at my site but, like I said, I developed this site as a way of generating some extra "pocket money" in return for the thousands of questions that people have asked over the years.
