New Forum Theme

Postby Loreli » Sat Jul 28, 2012 12:43 am

The new forum theme is currently set to override personal user settings. If you're having an issue with the theme and need or would like to chance back to the old theme, please let me know and I will remove this setting. It is still a work in progress I AM working on making it easier to tell when I new post has been made. Thanks for your patience folks :D

How do the new post icons look? Distinct enough?

This is now a testing thread


This is now also art.

Let me know what you guys think before I put a whole lot more time into this? XD

There's still a lot of tweaks to do, but if the majority of folks hate it, I'd rather avoid future headaches.

The only thing that itches at me about this theme is the fixed-widthness of it. It's lovely, but I feel like so much of my monitor is being wasted.

Heheh, that's kind of what drew me to it. It was clean and compact. I'll look into seeing if I can maybe give it more width and see if that helps.

It rocks! The new post color is hard for me to see, though. The red blends into the red/orangey (or whatever that yellowish orange thing background color is), a little too well.

I'm much with Shael. New look is awesome, just needs a donut. Not enough of a problem to make me dislike it though.

Maybe some sort of cool no-scroll background could be added? Something that wouldn't be too distracting though.
