Welcome back and "Change the Forum Style?"

Post by benheck » Thu Feb 01, 2007 10:54 pm

Sorry it took so long to get everything back up!

Hey, do you think we should change the forum style? subSilver is cool and all, but there's plenty other skins!

All I would require it that it remains dark text on a light background-ish... Suggest something we all agree on (and that I finally approve) and we'll change up the layout.

What do you think?

Why not? Change is (almost) always good, so I say go for it. By the way, I love what you did with the website. Very nice.

They're fairly easy to install, although existing ones will need to be slightly modded to work with the anti-bot mod. Post ones you find or make I guess :P

Oh speaking of that, I wonder if we could change the Anti-Bot question?

Make it more like the episode of Star Trek where they destroyed the robots by saying to them "Everything I say is the truth.... I am lying" And then steam comes out their ears.

I'm no artist nor do I know anything about forum skins, so I'm not so sure that MAKING skins is an option for me. However I'd like to suggest something more blue or green and less white.

I think that we're pretty advanced in designing. I think it'd be best to a competition, who can make the best theme?

Well I can do some graphics design, it all depends on how complicated you want the theme..

If you want it to be nice and simple, no problem, want it complicated? no problem, but I'd probaby need access to the templates and a test forum to implement it...

Hell, I don't think I could make it through something like that. I haven't seen any episodes of Star Trek. Actually, I haven't seen any Star Wars movies, either :lol:

An unfinished design I came up with.. relatively low bandwidth, easy to implement, I used a graph paper style background to portray design stages, I want to put wireframe consoles either side of the logo on the header..

I also want to add some modding tools, like dremel or something somewhere, but it depends on how much detail you want.

It wont be that width when implemented, it will be like subsilver, it expands with your resolution.

Likes, dislikes?

As long as its something simple I don't care! And blue, has to be blue in it. :) Maybe zombies... And a DS eating little dots like pacman...

I don't want to go to work today. :(

As long as they're <b><i>optional</i></b>, I don't care what styles get installed. Shine is nice, but I like the clean lines and simplicity of SubSilver. Go with whatever styles you guys want, just don't force their use, please. :)

@EnterTheHatrix:

:D :
The logo looks great! A centered logo and horizontal controls work pretty well.
It doesn't regulate the forum width. (That really bugs me)

:( :
There's no grid lines, or they're not very visible.
The blue behind the text could be a tad bit lighter

Can you see the gridlines behind the logo? those are the ones I was talking about.

edit:

Can someone find me some wireframe consoles?
