New Theme

Post by fl00d3d »

I'm working on a new theme. If you find any bugs or have any requests please report them here.

Here are some noteworthy changes:
  • A richer, more 'detailed' skin (still under construction)
  • Added more smiles (some of them are pretty funny)
  • Changed some of the user color codes (admin group added, spotlight gamer color changed)
  • 'Last Topic' now includes the subject of the last topic updated, rather than just the username that last posted.
  • A couple new/updated custom BBcode tags (googlevid, xcard, youtube)
  • Though the "New Post" icons aren't that bad, I am having Shinigami rework them so that they're more like the old default theme (yellow checkmarks). So that hasn't been fixed yet, but will be soon.
Please feel free to test any of these features in this thread ... and please report all bugs and complaints as well.

Ooh, I like this new theme :) ... I think it looks a bit more.. Industrialish, if you get my meaning. Gives the impression of some sort of futureistic computer terminal.

If you like, I can redesign the banner to fit the theme? possibly add a border around the images to make the image edges smoother... or would that look bad on the other themes?

And yes, we need those yellow 'New post' Icons back :o

Ugh... not keen so far, finding it hard to see which topics have new posts in cause the icons all look similar colours. Oh, and this theme seems to make you scroll half a page before you find the topic your trying to read :(

I guess a lot can be said for reading stuff before you post 1234((

Although to be fair, I got up at 8:50, logged on to the forums at 8:55 and had to be on the bus to university by 9:00, so I was both tired and in a hurry :P


EDIT: Btw, noticed a bug;
When you upload an attachment the little popup window has a scrollbar because the actual content of the window is about 3x as long as the window itself.

We resized the theme to a fixed pixelation, so the popup is probably using width="100%" or something. Thanks for the heads up.

I dig it. Looks more professional and a bit futuristic. Very wicked, indeed.

all in all, I like it ~ but things are darker and harder to pick out than before (but the buttons are being fixed it seems)

not a bug, but nothing really pops up to alert you that you have a PM. I only noticed once I click on AOHost support(different theme). Maybe someone could make a pop up alert or something that is more noticeable than: 2 new messages
