Update 2.4
Welcome to all new Bluefield College students, and welcome back to those returning for another great semester! We at the Rampage hope you enjoy the update and look forward to some of the great new features we have in store for you in the coming months. If you’re interested in being a part of the Rampage family this year, let us know at editor@bcrampage.com.
This update brings dark mode to all users and fixes a series of display bugs across the Rampage.
What’s New?
- New Features
- Dark Mode. Eye bleeding at night begone! All users (with or without an account with us) running a compatible system can now use a dark appearance for the Rampage if the device is set to use a dark appearance.
While we are choosing to support this feature with the release of iOS and iPadOS 13 in the near future, dark appearance support on the web is still in its infancy. Check below to see what software is supported as of these update notes. The Rampage will continue to support browsers and OSs that do not support dark appearances. - Magazine Rack. Past and future physical editions of The Rampage’s magazine will now be available on online. Browse each section and features articles, then view the beautiful magazine design right on your screen, mobile or desktop. More features will be added to the magazine rack as more magazines release.

- The Rampage Apple News channel has been retired.
