Title: [2.0] Bastion
Post by: Antes on April 19, 2020, 10:12:02 AM
I was working on a whatever theme and result was -not that bad- so I decided to share with you all, this theme is based on upcoming expansion of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands' first testable zone Bastion...

Planned
* Better button(s)
* Better colored title_bar/titlebar_IC (Whatever)
* Maybe changes on menu (tho I'm still not sure -coz- I like the grey/dark & red inside the blue/cloudy colors...
* Removal of Old Icons and using Font-Icons
* more HTML5 changes!
* Whatever you find during the usage -reminder: I only spend like 3-5h/s on this theme-

Won't Happen
* Can you do X variant? NO, theme is under MIT you can do it by yourself.
* Are you going to send this to Theme Site? NO! -meh maybe-, Its hosted on GitHub

have fun...

oh yea... https://github.com/XinYenFon/Bastion/releases/download/v1.0/bastion.zip - https://github.com/XinYenFon/Bastion/

Too bad we didn't save those themes... hopefully one day we can save those themes from dead... Enjoy the theme, ensuring you that more development time will be put on both this & RDD.

In truth, although I prefer to end up high and not despised by everyone, I am testing it in a separate installation for when I have to move my site in production to 2.1. I am really enjoying it, I am also testing codes to see how it works.

I have a complete archive. I also have a mostly complete archive of Bloc's themes, certainly all the older stuff. I even have a local working 1.0 with themes, though most of the 1.0 themes on here are corrupted.

https://smfthemedemos.levertine.org/index.php?media/ if you want to take a look at the various themes; no they're not installed, that's more effort than I care for, but here's a theme + portal screenshot archive to look around at. And before anyone asks, no I'm not giving out copies.


Meanwhile, really like what you've done with this.

Thank you for the kind words, I am keeping this theme as a base development ground for my future themes (I probably release few more themes for SMF2.0)... Currently working on two different concept as well,

one is W10 Tile styled theme (settings per board) and other one is actually a port, CoreReforged : )

Get ready for v1.0.1

* Small changes to the theme
* New font family: Karla
* Menu become cloudy for now -because why not-
* Some Icons moved to FA -more to come-
* New "new" icon... (Not yet fully implemented).
* Small color correction/change on title_bar (seems more fitting now)

v1.0.2 (https://github.com/XinYenFon/Bastion/releases/tag/v1.0.2)


+ Social sharing (also published publicly -awaiting team approval-)
! FontAwesome updated: 5.13
(Note: More icon work needs to be done)
* HTML5 Cleanup -old spans to create thingy-
* h3.catbg turned into flex container -this will resolve issues related to float-
* Icon corrections (unnecessary fa-lg -no need to make things bigger-)
* Small HTML fixes related to certain pages -more probably around-
* Other small things I made during the way here... -you will be forgotten small ones and I am not sorry about it :| I probably do it again later...

v1.0.3 (https://github.com/XinYenFon/Bastion/releases/download/v1.0.3/bastion.zip)


* Icon updates
! Slowly started to move icons to index.css (SMF related -should have done this long time ago-)
! (Finally) managed to -yeey!- bump version to proper version...
! Theme thumbnail updated -you are no longer going to see RDD inside the cloudy fields-
* HTML fixes ... some left over code removal
* Small HTML changes on certain pages -Reports alike-

> Theme sent to Theme Site for approval, till they approve it -GitHub we go-

Note: From this moment to forward both RDD & Bastion will receive icon/html updates and fixes that either comes from SMF core or pages that I broke during the process and if everything goes as planned within 2-3 releases both these themes will marked as final (ofc exc. the fact that there might be core changes in future releases).
