Here is a brown default style theme I'm working on as per a user request. Let me know what you all think!? ;)

I don't know if it will be allowed in the Theme downloads here or not since it is mainly a default style theme but I will definitely have it posted on my site for download when I am finished. 8)

If there are enough significant modifications (which it looks like there are) it should be allowed. I don't have the final word though. You could always try it and see what happens.

I really like the look of this one. You and Twitch are killing me by putting out all these great themes ... I don't know which one I want to use most!  ;D

Ha Ha! ;D  Well it's basically got all the same modifications as my other ones but probably cleaned up a bit. Last I heard they didn't want anymore default style themes so I dunno!

I kinda like it with this thick border to match the top bar...

The more changes the better.
Board names still using orange?? There you go, change it to brown or something else  :P

Lots of things you can do that are simple, borders, shadows, colors, backgrounds, uppercase?? Whatever you think of just throw it in and see how it looks and tweak it  :)

Will do! I'll try uploading it here too but I'm not going to do a whole lot more with it because I don't have much FREE time to work on it. Heck it takes forever just to get all the colors coordinated lol! ;D

But I will do more as I get time and I'm still learning...slowly! 8)

The Cloister of Trials awaits!!!! (Anyone here play Final Fantasy X? )

Also I do have a question, what program are you using for the icons?  Photoshop? Gimp? Inkscape?

Do you have some tutorials that I could look at for doing awesome icons ?

I use all three plus Paint 3D and one more I'm not allowed to name. O:)  Sometimes I find stuff by googling and if I find something I like, free and sometimes paid for, I'll manipulate the images to my liking using the mentioned software's.

Quote from: TwitchisMental on September 27, 2022, 04:01:35 PMDo you have some tutorials that I could look at for doing awesome icons ?
I may be able to pull some stuff up for you later. I'm mostly self-taught in computer graphics & logos (been doing it for years as a hobby and part-time $) but can't draw on paper worth a crap! :o  ;D

But same as with these themes, practice...practice...practice, and do it again! 8)

On the main page the post/topics column and the board descriptions were almost unreadable so I changed this:

body {
background-image: url("../images/background.jpg") !important;
background-attachment: fixed !important;
background-size: 100% 100%;
font: 83.33%/150% "Verdana", "Geneva", sans-serif;
color: #A47551;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
min-height: 100vh;
}

To this:

body {
background-image: url("../images/background.jpg") !important;
background-attachment: fixed !important;
background-size: 100% 100%;
font: 83.33%/150% "Verdana", "Geneva", sans-serif;
color: #7b583e;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
min-height: 100vh;
}

The color line is the only change I made and it makes the text a tad darker and easier to read. :)

One other thing I might suggest is changing to the background of the quick reply box and the toolbar above it and the smiley popup window from white to something like #ede1d1.

That is awesome my friend. Fits in well with the theme's scheme and doesn't blast you with the white background.

Has this change been made to the version on your website?
