I like how the curve theme looks so elegant in any color you apply to it (in the right way ofc) and still looks pretty custom

Yes, it's a tribute to the fundamental balance of the original. Those were based on simple filters mass applied to the entire theme (desaturation for PoD, inversion for CC and invert-lightness/keep-colour for BS). I did it that way because Bloc hasn't released full PSD's to the team yet and I just wanted to have some fun without it becoming a major undertaking, and those combinations worked best. Of course I still had to do some custom icons, plus the css for link colours, etc.

Is it me or the logo is a fresh new? Seems to me like it wasn't so slick-drop-shadowed 1 hour ago? ;-)

Antechinus · « **Reply #404 on:** October 12, 2009, 07:12:45 PM »

It's a new one. Bloc has been playing with Photoshop.

I don't like style of the quote and code

please improve it

How? If you think it can be made better please tell us how you think it could.

After playing around a bit with the quote style in Opera's Developer Tools, I think I'm leaning towards no borders or bottom border only, and in that case, possibly with a slightly softer colour than black...

Arantor · « **Reply #406 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:01:51 PM »

See, that's useful feedback, because you've suggested how you'd improve it. Just saying someone doesn't like it without saying what they'd change isn't actually so helpful.

I can see where you're coming from, though personally I'm not sure I'd change it.

Antechinus · « **Reply #407 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:11:27 PM »

A top and bottom border is good for nested quotes as it gives more definition, but I agree about softening the black slightly. I think #7D808F would be right. It looks good on my local host.

Just wondering, when RC2 gets publicly released, will it still say this when downloading it??

Note: As this is in development, we do not recommend running SMF 2.0 RC2 on a production site.

Arantor · « **Reply #409 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:15:45 PM »

I suspect it will. It is, after all, a release candidate, not a final release.

Antechinus · « **Reply #410 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:19:40 PM »

It probably will. That's a standard warning for any non-Final builds. I'm going to be running RC2 live myself though, along with a lot of other people. The main drawback is that when upgrading to Final it will not be a simple patch but a full upgrade pack. I can live with that though.

Ohh, OK. Well, I can see things coming together here at SMF with this new version installed. However, the BBC Editor and Smileys are missing when posting, in case this was accidentally missed somehow.

Antechinus · « **Reply #412 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:28:54 PM »

They work for me. Are you using the BBC editor or the WYSIWYG editor?

I will probably choose a colour which accepts shorthand hex notation for my own Curve-based theme, but #7D808F does look pretty good in this colour scheme.

On my monitor, the background colours of nested quotes are different enough to work well without borders, and at least the top border, where the quote header gives additional separation, should be perfectly safe to remove in that regard.

Antechinus · « **Reply #414 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:57:52 PM »

Hmm. Don't like it without the top borders, myself. I can't see that shorthand notation matters either. I'd just pick a colour that looks good.

Hello all,

Is the Curve theme meant to show this:

Or is it a bug?

I am using Internet Explorer 7, on Windows Vista.

Antechinus · « **Reply #416 on:** October 12, 2009, 09:18:17 PM »

IE7 bug by the look of it. Personally I haven't checked the latest builds on IE7 yet.

Akyhne · « **Reply #417 on:** October 12, 2009, 09:19:27 PM »

What about this vesion. Not that I don't like the current quotes...

Antechinus · « **Reply #418 on:** October 12, 2009, 09:24:58 PM »

Not bad. Might be onto something there.

Akyhne · « **Reply #419 on:** October 12, 2009, 09:44:00 PM »

Last attempt (but what do I know about graphics).

Note the nice badge!
