Hello all,
Simple Machines Forum project has released a new default theme for all future releases of the 2.0.X line.
This theme has came about as a consultation project with various members of the community who wished SMF took a lighter side on themes. The new default includes multiple new features that may be updated for 2.1 line, these include:
- Colourforms: User changeable skins to change the theme's colour, this can be turned on or off at will and a default colour can also be set. Available colours are Blue, Pink, Green and Red
- Custom Logo: You can apply your own custom logo.
- Favicon: You can define your own shortcut icon.
- Banner Image: You can set a banner image to go above the template_menu()
- Navigation Menu Styles: You can set your template_menu() to look like previous default themes of SMF, all four options (Curve, Core, Babylon and Classic YaBB SE) are available.
- Dropdown menus: Only available in Curve style
- Menu icons: Always available in Babylon and Classic, optional in Curve, not available in Core
- Registration Bar: Display a bar across the top of the forum for guests
- Member Box: Display a box on the BoardIndex to "persuade" new members to post
- BoardIndex Cells: You can allow for one cell like in the Core theme, or Two like in the Classic YaBB SE, along with larger stat numbers.
- Rename Child Boards: You can rename the string used to identify Child Boards in public areas. (Admin Areas are not effected)
- Board Icon Filetype: You can change the filetype that Board icons use
- Custom Board Icons: You can give each board their own icon. The above setting does apply to Custom Board Icons.
- RSS Button: Each board can have their own RSS Button
- Moderator Location: You can adjust where the listed names of moderators appear
- Moderator Buttons: You can also adjust where the buttons for moderating are (Quote, Modify, Delete, Split etc..)
- Attachment Alignment: You can place attachments horizontally or vertically from each other
- Ad Support: You can place an ad without having to install any mods, though support for Sinan's Simple Ad Mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2557) is available.
- More Display info: You can display icons for topic starters, Locations, Join Dates and direct links for copying and pasting in posts
- More Moderation Options: You can quick jump posts and ban members directly from their posts
- Custom Copyright Notice: You can add your own copyright notice after the SMF.
- Hide Subject Lines: Hide's the subject lines from replies. They will still appear for the first post of a topic.

We hope that you like the new direction we have taken, and hope for further feedback.
Unfortunatley at this time the theme will not work well with RTL languages but this will be fixed for the official release in 2.0.5 release.
As always this topic is not for support, if you find any bugs please, post in Site Comments (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=19.0)
Thanks
SMF Project Team

Well done team!

Switched it back to regular SMF default theme, then after I posted this is switched back to the April fools one, what the...
I love it, it's awesome :)
Rainbow Dash, ROFL
This theme should be automatically set for anyone who is on a forum for more than 10 hours - as a warning to get a life.
That's Rainbow Dash - lead stableboy, I'll have you know, and I have the badge to prove it! :)

With a
Pink membername at the bottom!
CoreISP - not a problem, ponies have to stick together!
Runic - that was supposed to be a secret!
This theme is beautiful. It makes me cry and want to be a boy so I can be a brony, too...

We're not fussy :) The more the merrier!
WTF?
Congratulations on a theme that will make so many jealous. Truly a work of art. :)
I'm so confused right now.

You don't visit this section of the forum very often, do you? :P
Too funny.
Oooh, the smilies are epic XD :o
LOL :laugh:
1/4. we have a fish disc. Terrible theme.

You can't be serious. What a
******ing mess. I've switched back to Curve, looks like it's been diddled with as well, but anything's better than this hideous new theme.

What are you guys thinking?
/me thinks Krash might need to check his calendar.
Or at least note that Runic, myself and CoreISP at least are all in Europe where the timezone might be further ahead and into the next day *whistle*
:o
Hey Stableboy! My stall needs mucking!
Yeah, yeah, I'm on it. It'll be done for when you're in need of it, k?
Rainbow Dash is working on a mucking mod?
If he wouldn't, this place would smell like sh-.
Core should be doing the same too.
/me hands Old Fossil a shovel
Chop chop :P
Well played.

You guys are all in the German colonies?
Britain is pretty firmly not a German colony...

Sure I do. It's just that the News and Update boards are the only boards that I am able to post in now. The "Reply" button is not visible in any other boards.
Is for me...? And I'm not in any special permission groups.
Then again I pretty much exclusively use quick reply...

I have a quick reply, and I'm just your regular member :)

Not sure what's going on, but the permissions are set to allow you to reply to topics in all the boards you can see and start new topics in most of them.
Nope, since the new theme fiasco this is the only section that I seem to be able to participate in.
What is this? Is this real life?
???
Oh good, more people with a sense of humour failure. :P

Does it work if you switch back to the previous default theme? (see link in first post).
I honestly don't know what could be causing your problems.

No sir.
Looks good. Much easier to navigate.
There's a few theme bugs, but once those get ironed out this theme will blow away the competition.

Thanks for the compliments guys, we spent quite a bit of time working on getting it ready :)

Before going crazy with theme changes and user permissions, you should check the date, as well as certain peoples' signatures ;)
Just saying.

All in good fun. Learn to lighten up.
Amazing technical masterpiece, implement this theme directly on our own forum ::)
I didn't realize I could benefit from April 1. Good to learn this way of linking to posts:

New theme now applied to my forums - everyone loves it lol :laugh:
(In reality it actually scared me senseless, thought I should have renewed my Anti-Virus program when it expired yesterday.... lol ! )
*Checks watch*.
I thought so, it must be that time of the year again ;).
The colours aren't actually so terrible, but the smileys are horrid! Well chosen team :D!
This theme reminds me of this:

Enjoying your breakfast once more! Heh.
I nearly freaked out when I saw the theme on my iPhone first thing this morning - I thought I'd accidentally pressed something I shouldn't with sleepy eyes and fingers on a touchscreen :P Where can I get this smiley set? It should be one of the defaults that comes packaged with SMF :D
Trust you to like the new theme.
Be the care bears for you next.
:D
/me notes it down for 2014...
