Lumix 1.0.0

Introducing Lumix

Lumix is a premium XenForo 2.3+ style inspired by the elegance of modern macOS interfaces. Featuring beautifully crafted glass effects, soft gradients, rounded components and carefully refined layouts, Lumix transforms the appearance of your community across desktop and mobile.

But Lumix isn't just about appearance.

With the included Lumix Companion, your community gains interactive features that make forums feel more alive, including one of Lumix's standout features: real-time forum viewing counts.

See Your Community Come Alive with Real-Time Forum Viewers

Ever wondered how many people are browsing a particular forum right now?

Lumix introduces a live forum viewing system that brings an entirely new sense of activity to your community.

Instead of simply displaying static forum information, Lumix can show how many visitors are currently viewing individual forums, providing an immediate indication of where activity is happening.

Real-Time Viewing Features

• Live forum viewer counts showing how many visitors are browsing a forum.
• Dynamic updates that keep viewer information refreshed as browsing activity changes.
• Integrated forum badges designed to blend naturally into the Lumix interface.
• Forum index integration making live activity visible while browsing your community.
• Fully automatic operation through the included Lumix Companion.
• Administrator-controlled visibility with an independent enable/disable setting in Lumix style properties.

Why does this matter?

Traditional forum layouts can feel static, even when visitors are actively browsing.

Lumix changes that by making current forum activity visible.

Members can see which forums are attracting attention, discover active areas of your community and experience a stronger sense of shared presence.

Whether your forum is a small community or a busy discussion platform, real-time viewing counts add an engaging layer of activity without overwhelming the interface.

Six Beautiful Colour Palettes

One community. Six different appearances.

Lumix includes six carefully coordinated light palettes, allowing administrators and members to personalise the forum experience.

• Lumix Classic — The signature blue, lavender and pink appearance.
• Ocean Mist — Refreshing ocean blues and gentle aqua tones.
• Rose Quartz — Elegant blush pinks and warm pastel colours.
• Mint Aurora — Soft mint, teal and refreshing green accents.
• Lilac Dream — Delicate lavender, violet and periwinkle shades.
• Opal Aura — An iridescent combination of icy blue, luminous lilac and pearly pink.

Each palette brings coordinated background gradients, accents and interface colours while maintaining the familiar Lumix presentation.

Live Appearance Preview

Members can explore the available palettes using Lumix's built-in appearance selector.

• Preview colour palettes directly on the live forum.
• Apply a preferred appearance without manually editing styles.
• Save appearance preferences for future visits.
• Access appearance selection through the desktop interface and supported mobile controls.

Administrators can independently enable or disable user appearance selection, choose the default palette and control which palettes are available.
