Comments on new SMF theme

[motumbo]

There are still too many tables in too many places.

That's for sure.  There are five tables on the board index of this current theme. 

Somebody around here loves tables for presentation.  And I don't know why...      

Otherwise, the new theme looks quite nice.

The reason there are still tables is that this isn't really a new theme. It has a new site and header layer, some different CSS, but mostly the same templates.

The templates are still being worked on.

I think Bloc tried a tableless topic view, but that caused some very strange problems in Opera.

I did some quite complicated nesting of divs a while ago, and ran into all sorts of problems with Opera if I used z-indexing. I could make it work in Opera, but it would then fail in FF. If Bloc was using z-indexing to make it display correctly, he should instead try nesting the divs in a natural order (so that z-indexing is not needed) and use margins for any offset he might need. The results were pixel perfect for me. Try the link in my sig to my home page and look at the source code. There is no z-indexing involved in the menubar and the green blocks to the left.

The only problem I have had with the new theme is the new topic button and reply button. I couldn't see them when I tried to make a post. They were there, they were just a little hard to see.

No, I wasn't doing z-index in Display. But it was a first attempt that needs more work. Current Display is full of nested tables, so I am going for using lists much more than earlier, since they are slightly easier to control css-wise than floated divs.

I want a download to this theme! I want the turkish version like everyone else got

[青山 素子]

This theme is not available for outside use currently. It may be in the future.

[shadow82x]

But I got a download to it before... >_>

How could you get a download for a theme thats not only unfinished, but unreleased?  Theres been knockoffs of it but i think those got shot down fairly quickly.

[shadow82x]

I believe turk make one

[metallica48423]

Yes, and likely did so without the permission of the SMF team. 

I am not for sure but it may have been removed, as the user likely had no permission to reuse the graphics or code.  The only place i had seen it is in this topic.  Try looking through it.  Though keep in mind that this is not a SMF-sanctioned theme and you will likely not be able to get any support for it if it is even available for download..  I say use at your own risk, at this point

IMO at this point i would consider trying to use it theft, but that is me personally.

[青山 素子]

I believe it was removed by request.

[shadow82x]

OK I wont use it I want downloads from smf

The only real essential thing in coding is:

Coding that is not sloppy and that is easy to read.
