Comments on new SMF theme

[ArkServer]

Looks clean and crispy +1
but the "child" boards font is a bit too small to read.

I don't like it.
Thats my first impression when I entered the site and thought something new happened.
Well, my maybe I learn to like it tomorrow.
Make code not themes! 
The orange headlines are very orange.

Ok, no problem, now I have to go to sleep, tomorrow it maybe looks better to me.

I noticed an oddity with with a function too - after my my first post to this thread, I clicked 'show new replies to your post', and said post and this thread were listed - I was still the last poster. Maybe the server had a fart, but I mention it just in case.

That problem I had too and I believe I posted about it in general support,
not sure if there was a fix for it or what the problem was,
because, tbh, I didnt check up on it anymore

I like the new theme and look forward to its release!

I just want to say wow! I originally was going to give up but I came back after being bored with the other guys, and the new template hit me like a brick wall

Finally.... a theme that uses a purely CSS & Div / UL layout!!! Way to go SMF!!  If only I had enough time to work on my layout to work.

I think it's a good change.  The colors could use a little work.  The whole puke yellow on pretty sky blue doesn't look that good.  Maybe a dark-blue or navy or even a black would look better.  Perhaps a dark green even.

But looks good, can't wait to see the finished product.

I assume this change was the result of phpBB's recent entrance to the Web 2.0 world.

Nope, this had been in the works for some time before then. Some events pushed the introduction forward a bit as it was planned to be introduced after it had undergone a bit more testing.

Things are still being tweaked, and I'm sure some of the colors and such will be adjusted in the near future. Usability bugs first, then design issues is my preference, but I'm not in the group that works on the site itself.

the quote graphic is a nice thought ... but it look ridiculous without a closing quote to go with it

The "RSS" link at the bottom of every page, located below the copyright links to the page it's on.

Theres also one error in the validation for the theme

Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.

   1. Error Line 990 column 56: an attribute value literal can occur in an attribute specification list only after a VI delimiter.

         <div class="titlebg2" style="padding: 4px; float:"right" id="display_jump_to">&nbsp;</div>

      Have you forgotten the "equal" sign marking the separation between the attribute and its declared value? Typical syntax is attribute="value".

The child boards look wierd because they are <h5> with no styling attached.

I think it probably does have one but everybodies posts are snipped off. Lets see if they did anything special for coding tags, maybe a < ?php graphic or something...

EDIT:
Aw! Booooo.

It is common to have an opening quote without a closing one when they are big like that. You don't really need a closing quote as it isn't actually quotation marks, it is just an image to show that there is a quote.

This is awesome! I hope to see it in a future release of SMF...

Because to have different default themes is not a very good idea.

[Daniel15]

The green-yellow text (which I think looks stupid) used in catbg areas is a little too large for my liking.

I don't care for the vivid "cyan" color used in some areas.

I agree with that -  I personally don't like the colours chosen

[trenchteam]

personally, I like this theme much more than the old default theme. Looking forward to this being released.  Im sure it will fun to customize.

[motumbo]

The new theme looks very nice!

It would be nice if it were tableless and CSS/DIVs.  But I understand you folks are moving that direction.

Ok, I've tried to open SMF's website with both IE7 and FF2... now you can see what I was complaining about:

This is in Internet Explorer 7 - most things look ok, and the child-boards font is easy to read (maybe too big)


And this is in Firefox Fox 2 - just look at the child-boards fontsize!! maybe in CSS you guys should use "px" instead of those "small, x-small" and so on.
