I'm currently testing a free theme/style (Foxhole) because it has some useful aspects such as a sticky logo.
The current default theme is WSC 5.3, so I've temporarily disabled the 'Change Style' option in the bottom right of the homepage because the the theme needs numerous tweaks, especially with the colours.
If you wish to take a look at the new theme, Foxhole, click 'change style' in the bottom right of the homepage and change the theme to Foxhole.
It's still a work in progress, so any suggestions are welcome.
Top Threads used to be the landing page when launching argentinaexpats.org but now this only seems to appear if one selects Home after signing in. Of course that's not an issue for members who stay signed in but the first impression given to newcomers and members who sign out after each session doesn't offer a lively and inviting impression of what's actually being discussed right now.
Tested with (old) Android with (old) Chrome; current Linux Mint with current Firefox and Windows with current Chrome, Firefox and Opera and all give the same results

Sorry about that!
I'm working on a solution.

Something like this latest update as you see now?
I reverted it...

1. Since switching to the new Theme, there is a lot of whitespace at top when using the iPad Firefox in Landscape position.
2. On Android the color scheme makes it difficult to see some of the links when in Dark mode

The Foxhole theme/style you mentioned was new to test.

Yes, it's a work in progress and I had to mod it a lot, but it does look better in dark mode.
I'm also waiting for a dev to come back to me so that I can collapse a lot of empty spaces, not to mention the wave at the bottom of the page.
I'll keep you posted.
Where you see the red arrow, that's for collapsing the right hand boxes, but the tiny > needs to be more visible.
Working on it...

The empty space has now been removed in the Foxhole theme and the collapse sidebar button is now more visible.
I still have a few more small modifications to make.
I'd like it if members could try the new Foxhole theme and let me know what they think.
You can change theme where it says Change Style in the bottom right of the home page.
The Foxhole theme seems to work as I would have expected on my little netbook (1024x576) but I think we discovered a while ago that certain things that you might have expected to find in one place appear in different locations on this little display. I'll try it on my 14" display (or is it 15"? I never can remember) when I get a chance.
To be perfectly honest, I generally accept the default offering for any software product: customisation isn't really a big thing for me.
ETA Tried on the laptop (1366x768) Still good!
I'm happy with the way it looks the now. I use the Core 3.

I've been using it for the past week or two since you first posted. Only visit the site with Android phone and iPad mini. I'll report any issues as I find them. Thanks!
1. I am using Dark theme in chrome on Android. Since foxhole switch, It is almost impossible to see the links or anything clickable that is blueish.
99% of the time I use my Windows laptop to browse the forum and as I said much prefer the Core theme. However I've just tried using my Android mobile and the Foxhole theme looks much better on the mobile than it does on the laptop.

That's odd, because I use Chrome on Android too. Can you take a screenshot?

Your screenshot is the same that I see. That color palette of blue links and little blue buttons is difficult for me. Could be my eyes. I do not have an issue with other sites. Have you chosen your own color palette, or is that the default for Foxhole?

There's an infinite choice of colour palette, but what I did was try to match the two colours in the logo for some kind of uniformity.
eg:
It could be changed if it's hard to see.
