This is a theme I am working on - its an idea from
destalk in this thread (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=20972.msg167995#msg167995). Having the Guardian (http://footballtalk.guardian.co.uk/
[email protected]@.ee6b2cf) as a guide I am making a light-weight theme with almost no images.
Currently its only Boardindex/index and part Messageindex made, but I thought let you see some of it, since I am pretty excited over making it. It will be released to all when its ready.
One note: the preview is scaled down, so its abit blurry.
This is great idea! Another good example how great theme machine is :D
looks pretty good bloc i like the whole no image idea..
Looking just Great!
Nice Bloc - keep it up!
Very good job Bloc
looks very innovative
congratulation.
I'm looking forward to the complete version. ;D
Wow, does look great. It looks like it's all SSI it's so different!!
awesome idea.. I really like what you have got so far
Hey Bloc Could You also include different colors for this theme, ones people havent used yet, like pink text with black background, white background or red background with yellow text
It would be cool to have like 6 variations when its released like how Justyne did on her themes
That really is simple... Well done!
I like it!

Sure. I can do color variations on it. It use just a handful of colors anyway..
Cool, try to use different smilies in the theme, Im tired of the same old default ones
I wont be making a smiley-set for this, no.
Thats separate from the theme anyway, you use the admin section for that.
Is there a way for the names of the categories in this theme to have the glow text
Glow text...you mean like the [glow][/glow]..?
If so, I am not putting that in.

But, yes, it should be possible to do something like that. Perhaps with <span> tags.
Glowing category names..? I am sorry, but to me that ..is not good. It just defeats the whole purpose of this theme.
The colors I will use is what I think looks nice as a design..but of course one can change them in the style.css file when its released.

And glow text only works with Internet Explorer.
Glow text is BOO! I dont care for it.
Glow text looks cool on dark backgrounds, but nevermind about it since ya'll hating, hey Bloc dont mean to sound rude but hurry up on it, I think we would all like to use it its cool man
I dont take offence ;) ....its just the glow part I dont like..but as I said there is nothing stopping you setting the background color black and the text color whitish/yellow.Then the category names to a more yellow/orange. Its only colors... ;)
As for time, it will take the time it needs. It changes nearly all the template files, so I wont rush it.
wow, simply the best ¡¡
Bloc... I love it... seriously can't wait to see it in action!

haha. no ones hating. Just Glow doesn't work on FIREFOX and Internet Explorer sucks. Eazy is the tightest O.G. Rapper know though... ;)
The theme is coming along..here is a second screenshot. ;)
Still to do are trying out all normal functions with it , Instantmessage and generally error-checking.
Bloc that is a great example of the themes engine :o! I especially like how you did the top bar :)
Bloc, I really can't wait...
/me stares at the screenshot for 10 minutes
One comment:
- The breadcrumb doesn't really seem to match the style of the rest of the board. The rest matches perfectly, but the breadcrumb seems to have a completely different look from the rest.
Still, the rest looks brilliant! :)
WOW, Bloc, this really looks outstanding. I mean, it's simply a beautiful example of what can be achieved - and I'm sure many people will love using it.
Wow... Very nice. Great way to show off SMF's template system too :)

Yes, I am still thinking round that bit with the breadcrumb...
Just a suggestion (don't know how it'll look), but you could try to replace the |'s with :'s, •'s or >'s and make the font x-small instead of xx-small (matching the font of the body).
Good suggestions. I will try those.
wow.
that's a beautiful theme! unique, pretty, streamlined. One of the best I've seen. And what I really like about it is that although other themes I've seen (mainly in the contest) were excellent, this one has a look I especially like - clean, sharp and business like - as opposed to a highbandwidth gaming look (those are impressive too though ;))
good excellent work Bloc!
*bump*
Any news? :D
I reckon I will get it done by the weekend. Just Instantmessage and Calendar..which I have not yet decided how lay it out...
BTW, I tried you suggestions with the breadcrumb , bigger size and some other divider. Works better now.
Yay! :D
I really can't wait, the concept rules :)
/me yells "Go Bloc!!"
I hope this comes out soon. Can't wait to test it :). Nice work Bloc! :):)
:o Stunning theme, amazing use of SMFs templating thingymabob! :P I'll definitely install this theme, it's really nice. Also it should convince people of how good SMF is! :P *Claps bloc*
Are you nearly finished yet? It really does look fantastic. Any chance of an orange version? ^_^
