Style suggestions needed

[krohn]

I'm nowhere near ready to put together a custom theme for this site due to time restrictions, but to dump the default we can load several premade themes for you guys to choose from.

Please browse around this site and suggest some layouts that look good that we'll be able to easily import.

Please include a link to the thread you found the theme in since that is where I can download it from ;)

Anything that’s nice and light like the old place would be fine :)

[SeK612]

I've always liked the utopia skin. Some of the other popular ones like Air and Surge are pretty nice too :)

[krohn]

could you track one down that feels nice so I don't have to go looking around :) I've got a big log of things to fix + my normal job to do.

Would it not be better to fix all the things members report? I think we should first fix the list I made up in the teamchat. it contains all erorrs reported by members and myself before making any other change..

[Peerzy]

I dont know the name of the skin but iv got a picture of it, IMO its great piece of skinning...

seems as if more people are worried about the skin than the functionality which is the same old story around here....

that is why we originally scrapped teh VB3 move.

Can't you use this 5 week old database to reset up on IPB?

[krohn]

also peerzy that Windows style you're using is http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/113-p1.php Royale

Can't you use this 5 week old database to reset up on IPB?yeah its possible, but We have to have either IPB2 or VB3 due to the lack of some important functions in IPB1. IPB has switch to a paid license system and if something has to be paid for the money will NOT go to somebody who continued to claim their product would always be free... THEN not only did they take out the free license but they also charge more for a product that is not as good OR as well supported as VB3.

Yes theres some things that IPB2 does that are somewhat better than VB3, but overall VB3 is better. The support and honesty of Vbulletin pays off though. with these recent moves a person would be stupid to put their trust in invision. Matt lied BIG time and its a company that I believe is no longer set up to be able to survive. I predict they'll go under within 18mnths.

Yep, thats my 30%warn level. Once for pretending to be a mod by creating accounts with similier names. Once for a flame war with Jonno, and again for having an opinion in my signature (Which was delt with by a mod, but another team mmeber who doesnt really take to me well thought it would be a way to get at me. You ahve a black dot, what does this mean?

EDIT: No its not i just clicked the dot....

[Filliz]

The only things that bother me about this skin is/are:

That it is hard to tell the difference between sticky's and regular topics
You can only go back to the top when you are at the bottom of the page(would be nice if every single post in a thread had a button that takes you back to the top,just like on the IPB skin)
There's no list of clickable smilies (not a big deal but worth the mention)


That's all I can think of for now.

All can be fixed pretty easily.

For smilies,

Quick links -> Edit options -> Message Editor Interface -> Extra Formatting Controls.

and a few more things here (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showthread.php?t=81885)

Thats red due to negative karma given to you by people :)

Don't think a lot of people will like that one because it's centered (remember the big fuss about the blue bars on the IPB board :confused: )

[vivitron 15]

the main problem with that was that the bars were huge and thick

[Afronaut]

I'd like a really Dark Skin, just about anything goes as long at is dark.
Im not too fuzzy about When or How etc. since there' folks capable
of doing that allready.

:D

Over all good job going fixing things as we go, I'd say.
Thanks for that.

:)

[Busyman]

I've been wanting a dark skin for awhile. Only thing is I like a black background with white letters.

Like the old Napster or genmay.com.
