[Preview] justboards Theme

[DirtRider]

I think my biggest problem here is if you have a large forum with plenty boards the whole layout may become to big for the member. Meaning that you would have a huge scroll area to have to manage when moving form one board to the other. However I still think it is a very neat idea for a forum that does not have a lot of boards.

So, not so much of a load time issue as just a scroll issue(?). One thing that will/can help, I currently have the description area set to a height of 250 (I think), which allows for 200 characters of description and/or a lot of child boards. BUT, if the site doesn't have very large descriptions or many child boards, the description cell can easily be changed to fit the site's largest description board. If a site's largest description only needs 75/100 pixels, then it will DRASTICALLY shrink all the boxes to where you can see probably 12/16/24 per screen depending on the end size.

I really like the size they are now for the small boards. What would be cool if you could implement two setting in the theme setting that can alternate between this size and a smaller block maybe

Do you mean inline? If so, there's not really a good way to do that (without using table cells). Since the blocks are using a "float: left" style, if any of them were sized different, they would not stack correctly. So, unfortunately, one side effect of using CSS, is they need to be all the same size.

However, I do have them all in a class which can be re-sized to the forum owner's liking.

[DirtRider]

Well that should do it then if he can resize them a bit to fit his board layout. I would like to see this them working on a running forum that would be cool

I agreed, using CSS to float them is the best way, to meet different screen widths.

This float idea is great, although I for one really love to see those containers being a bit more interesting. Lining them up like that just begs for them to be a little less "boxy" in their looks Can they be dressed with a background graphic through css..? overriding the full/header background/borders?

They are contained in a table, but their graphics are fully controlled by CSS.
