Themes Topic

[Devilsky]

After everything has settled down how about a dark theme for night time viewing.

TFF_ADMIN EDIT: I changed the topic title so this could be the general theme thread.

RE: Dark Theme

Speaking of, I wonder how much power we have to mod the appearance of the forum? I wonder if we could make something close to a TFF - Classic skin for the nostalgia blinded among us?

RE: Dark Theme

Or for the "Pretending nothing has changed or ever will change" group, like me.

RE: Dark Theme

We need a light theme that doesn't suck either.

These are the themes we can use: http://forums.icyboards.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=34

Everyone find themes they like. Gogo!

RE: Dark Theme

There are a bunch of nice looking forum themes there.

I rather like this one: http://forums.icyboards.net/showthread.php?tid=4017

Looks close to our old theme.

 

[Devilsky]

The Black Evo looks awesome.

 

[TFF_Admin]

Links, please.

I went ahead and grabbed the invisionfree-like skin and set it as default for now, since it's a mile more usable than the default myBB one.

We can add more later. For now, whargbl I need sleep.

 

[NuitTombee]

I like the normal theme myself.

Ah... so you are the cause of my headaches...

I had to switch off of that, and I am not the only one... everything was centered for me using that, which made everything 20x harder to navigate.

I did like the looks of it better, but the centering was a big issue. Also the last post area on the main page was either left or right aligned with no rhyme or reason as to why.

 

[TFF_Admin]

Hmm... we probably shouldn't use that for our default then, if it's showing up differently for every person. It's a bit cramped anyway.

 

[Jakkun]

I'm not sure why, but Use Default is still choosing Nostalgia instead of Default.

 

[TFF_Admin]

The default is nostalgia. We also have another theme that is called Default, but is not the default.

 

[Jakkun]

RoyalSteal is amusing, though mostly for the name. It looks like it would be far too grey and bland.

I kinda like MyBB Gamer. It's a dark theme with blue in it.

Normal Theme looks pretty similar to old TFF.

The Cure is also pretty nice.

Apart Night and Apart Leaf are pretty similar. One being dark blue and the other green for accent colors, and the rest being black and white.

Edit: I found all the rest of the Apart options. They have 12 color choices.

Everyone, out of
Black Evo (http://www.awesomestyles.com/mybb-themes/view/blackevo4-v2-fire
Normal Theme (http://forums.icyboards.net/showthread.php?tid=3934
MyBB Gamer (http://forums.icyboards.net/showthread.php?tid=4258
The Cure (http://forums.icyboards.net/showthread.php?tid=3482
An Apart- say which color (http://community.mybb.com/thread-74333.html

rank them in the order of what you most want for a temp theme to get rid of this one.

 

[TFF_Admin]

I forgot to mention- At 10pm server I'll be loading the new skin. Current server time is 7pm, so in three hours.

 

[Vexarian]

I kind of like the new default one for the moment.

But if you really twisted my arm...

I say Normal for the default/light theme, and Black Evo for a Dark Theme.

 

[TFF_Admin]

The default theme will be left available for use.

 

[NuitTombee]

Normal > MyBB Gamer > Apart (Night) > The Cure > Black Evo

 

[Jakkun]

I like The Cure the best, but Normal is closest to old TFF so would make probably the best new default theme. The only problem I see with MyBB Gamer is that it uses controllers as icons for a bunch of stuff. Those three are my top choices.

 

[dragonsblood32]

I like the new default one, or Black Evo 4 V2 Space, Normal Theme, MyBB Gamer

 

[ThreadWeaver]

I'd take The Cure, then Apart "Twilight" (not because of the books), then Normal, If I had my choices.

The Cure is just plain clean.
The twilight is not too dark and not so light that my eyes scream for mercy.

 

[Jakkun]

I like the online thing, but it doesn't go well unless you are viewing in classic mode.

Is anyone else having an issue on the main page where the circle icons aren't all there?

I discovered the issue. The missing ones are looking for gif files, while the ones that are there are png.
