[Preview][SMF 2.1]New Year New Theme - Blue Wave

TwitchisMental · January 16, 2023, 04:27:33 PM

So I have been working on this theme off and on for awhile now. I still can't think of a name for it lol. Took some inspiration from the Xenforo default theme and the Smf 2.1 Steyle by webtiryahi.

Still have quite a bit to go, I am wanting to spice up the footer section.

excellent ... clap, clap

Steve · January 17, 2023, 07:06:22 AM

Beautiful theme.

And I suck at coming up with name suggestions.

TwitchisMental · January 17, 2023, 12:44:19 PM

Thank y'all .

I swear the name part is the hardest part lol.

TwitchisMental · January 18, 2023, 05:40:10 PM

Small update -

Made the info center a bit smaller and working on the footer.

I really love the looks of this theme with one exception. I don't see the search box anywhere. I know there's a search function but not having the search box is a deal breaker for me.

May wanna double check the top

Oh crap! Sorry, but does that give you the options of 'Entire Forum', 'This Board', etc.?

Btw, my wife suggested 'Blue Wave' or something similar for a name. P

From the top bar search itself no, by default it is just the entire forum. With that said though, you can adjust the search parameters after the initial search though. I mainly did it this way for a cleaner look.

Steve · January 18, 2023, 07:36:53 PM

Okay, sounds good. And I edited my post to include my wife's suggestion for a name.

[chrisB] · January 18, 2023, 07:39:45 PM

Honestly, I'm not sure about the wavy footer or, the links (they look slapped on so far). That's the only thing I can point out, but that's preferences really. I just feel it could look more striking, maybe changing it slightly so it doesn't look as if water is pouring out from the left/less of a wavy sea.

I realise it's work in progress, but if I just left positive feedback and ignored the above then there no point in me commenting.

Colour scheme looks nice.

Index layout is different in a unique and good way.

Navigation seems good.

Very nice work.

You've got some awesome themes btw.

That actually works quite well for the name.

I figured that name was already used, did a quick search on the theme site and sure enough it was not used yet.

May take that suggestion, so let her know I said thank you.

Steve · January 18, 2023, 07:44:55 PM

?

Looking a bit better now -

Sweet!

[chrisB] · January 19, 2023, 12:18:35 PM

The copyright footer having its own colour is a good addition. Also, the logo goes nicely. 👍🏻

Steve · January 20, 2023, 08:53:47 AM

@TwitchisMental - Have you decided 'Blue Wave' is what you're going to call it for sure? If so, maybe change the topic title?

Yeah it probably is. Updated title.

Steve · January 20, 2023, 02:38:03 PM

Awesome. My wife is going to be so pleased and have such a big head I won't be able to put up with her lol.

You'll be okay

TwitchisMental · January 21, 2023, 04:46:42 PM

Another Small Update
Changed the breadcrumb last section to a different color. Tweaked the footer section a bit more. Otherwise I have been just updating minor colors.

Could be done with this one soon .

Looking great!

Steve · January 21, 2023, 06:04:17 PM

What @DeadMan... said.

I'm looking forward to adding this one.

Diego Andrés · January 21, 2023, 07:18:49 PM

So far it's a very nice theme.
I'd suggest changing the white color on those orange items, not good for accessibility.

Thank you for your input. I will get that fixed.

TwitchisMental · January 24, 2023, 02:47:52 PM

Alright, I think I have this one just about done.

I have one or two things to adjust, but overall just about done. (Quote box for example)

Looking really nice this, the only problems I have with it is the yellow font it's not just this theme it's many themes that use it. It can either be too bright or too dull maybe it's my age

I have used a word finder to come up with a name using Xenforo webtiryahi together have a look at some of these it created

https://wordfinder.yourdictionary.com/unscramble/xenforowebtiryahi/

exhibitory is a nice word for a forum definition = exhibiting; publicly showing

TwitchisMental · January 24, 2023, 04:31:20 PM

Button text is now a-lot better on visibility.

Leaving it for one or two things.. Removed from others..

Text-shadow is just a friend of the devil

After this goes live and I download it, my personal changes would be to change the white text in every fleshy colored (#f0ce8e) highlighted item. I'll probably use one of the two colors for the overall background ... text in the new button next to new topics, page numbers, etc.

But that is just my personal preference.

I can hardly wait for this to go live!

Good thing I have already changed all of the white text on the brighter backgrounds

Changed the quick reply top bar to title_bar. Looks better that way especially when there are several posts. Updated some for text colors...

May submit this soon for the cloister of trials.

Steve · January 25, 2023, 07:18:56 PM

Beautiful! The only suggestion I might have is to make the text in the highlighted linktree/breadcrumbs bold like the rest of the forum scheme.
