The colors look nearly the same too. The only ones I noticed that are different from the default theme is titlebg, bodyarea and headerbodies. But it is a nice variation of the default theme nontheless and those buttons go well on it. Nice job so far.

Looks neat :) I would suggest you replace the upshrink.gif with a one which looks more similar to the buttons ;)

very stylish, and easy to read. This would be great for corporate-websites. Just has that "corporate look"  :D

I have one nit-picky suggestion, the folder icons, are blue...looks out of place IMHO. Other than that, excellent.

Dont worry about knowing php, all of the php code i know is in the code box below-

That's good to know ;).  It does look sort of out of place now that I look at it.

EDIT: No it doesn't; I changed my mind :P.  There's a lot of other blue things in the theme too.

you are right...i managed to miss the "NEW POST" icons were blue, that along with the "announcement" icons, etc. It matches perfectly (when there are new posts  :P)

It's very simple, and I like simple.  Now, when considering the fact that it's a v.1.1 beta release skin, I assume this means it will work flawlessly on v.1.0.5?  (I'm not one to use betas unless I'm part of a testing team.)  If so, I'll be sure to install it.  I love simplicity, and this skin gives just the right touches to the already wonderful default skin.

Very nicely done.

Thank you for your comments :).  This theme has not been tested on SMF 1.0.5.

Well then, I certainly suppose I could test it out for you, and let you know how it works.  If it doesn't work right, I can always remove it... so it's not like it could hurt anything, right?  ^_^


edit:
Works perfectly.  To see a working example of Nimbus on v.1.0.5, click here (http://argentos.thefinalfantasy.com/forums/index.php?topic=60.0).  That'd be my announcement about how it's my new forum default.

;)

I do, however, have only one complaint... where's the news box?  It's MIA.  And I actually make use of the news box.  >_<  I may, in fact, un-default your skin until news can be shown on the index.  I know it seems like a pointless, picky little thing, but my forums were recently re-opened, so yeah.

Nimbus isn't the default theme when I click on that link.  I didn't think to test the news box when I released the theme.  Have you tried using the news fader instead?

Title: Re: [Theme] Nimbus
Post by: LocoColt04 on July 30, 2005, 07:51:19 PM
Yeah, I swapped the default back to SMF.  I didn't think to select the news fader.  Stupid me, eh?

You should be glad to know that the forum default is, once again, yours.  I really do love this theme.  I'll check back to see if you do get the box module up though, because it's a nice thing to have.

LocoColt04, look at the bottom of your board index in the info. center.  No member data :-\.  Maybe you'll have more luck with Nimbus when you upgrade to SMF 1.1.

Post by: LocoColt04 on July 30, 2005, 08:02:46 PM
Oh no, it's there.  I have it disabled for guests.  I suppose I should have mentioned that beforehand, hmm?  It works just fine -- and looks great, too.


edit:
Oh wait... nevermind.  I see what you're saying, and you're right.  Wow, that's a shame.

When v.1.1 is released, I'll definitely pick this back up.
