Template and colour help!

Tyris · December 24, 2003, 01:30:38 AM

Hiyall

put together a new template for the forum recently (well just copied one of my web designs)...
http://www.nintengu.net/forums/index.php
username: Test
password: nintengu
to access with the correct theme.

Basically some of the css choices seem a bit off... as well as post colouring etc... I'm wondering what everyone else thinks

Please comment with any ideas for better colours

Thanks

Nice template

Although, I should choose other 'New post' images...

Tyris · December 24, 2003, 02:14:19 AM

Yeah, I'm going thru everything atm... dunno what to do for new post :S... do you mean the little one... or the big lights on the main page...?

Also, be warned... I'm hacking thru the code atm... so things are looking dodgy

Cadish · December 24, 2003, 02:25:15 AM

I should replace these images

with others

[edit]now they look good, they were the normal yabbse images

[/edit]

Tyris · December 24, 2003, 02:51:09 AM

yup, on the 2do list

any ideas of what to use...?

Cadish · December 24, 2003, 03:20:21 AM

Maybe something like this:

Cadish · December 24, 2003, 03:25:06 AM

If you like, I make them more different... Because right now, there isn't much difference... $:-\$

Tyris · December 24, 2003, 03:32:50 AM

hmm... just a little bubble effect... yeah, that could work... I'll see what I can whip up

Cadish · December 24, 2003, 03:36:24 AM

Just remade the on.gif

See if you can use them

Tyris · December 24, 2003, 04:07:01 AM

heh, sorry... I'm the kinda person who only wants to use stuff he makes himself

chucked something up for the time being... damn slow computer... thanks tho

Sorry Tyris... been sleeping and head all over the place...

I think it looks good... the underline for the nav menu (the one with the folder at the top, you'll know what i mean) when you rollover it makes the whole tree go underlined, I think thats a bit annoying... and I don't know if I'd put black on you're lighter blue background... a light grey perhaps... it looks good though - though I'm talking crap...

I like the blues, they go well together

They're great!

Glad to help you (although I didn't really help you

)

well, input is always good

Still a bit iffy about a few of the colours and/or text colours...

Very nice! Why u aint ad that as guest theme also? One thing, IM buttons arent done

Tyris · December 25, 2003, 10:22:30 PM

Yup, I know about IM buttons (thanks to bostasp sending me an IM to notice...

), I cant really do it properly (as you'll notice the distance between buttons creates problems with overlapping) without some code hacks (ie: if($theme=="nintengu") kinda stuff) until SMF comes out... so I think I'll leave that till sMF

As far as default theme... I probably would ... as it is officially now the Nintengu.NET forums... but apparently on some PC's the blues display MUCH darker (to the point were black on this blue is unreadable... even tho its fine on my PC)... and until I get this at least to some degree resolved... I think I'll keep the SQubed one.. Altho I -am- thinking that its just the contrast of the persons machine... I've had two people comment (before changing the text to white)... so...
