[BLOG]: New theme and theme selector

[Ellie]

Sup.

There's a new theme for the forums. It's not really new, in that the template is RMXP.net. But the images and stylesheet are new. ;o

It's called RPG and is supposed to be er, fantasy-like.

Oh, there's also a style changer. You'll find it. ;o

I like it ^^. It suits the theme of an RPG Maker website more than the others. Although I understand this isn't an RPG Maker website... but you know what I mean. It is more original than others out there even if the base graphics are from a premade theme. I notice you changed a lot though (mainly the addition of reds, contrasts nicely).

This theme changer is pretty sweet, I wasn't aware there were different themes ^^.

 

[Stardust]

Awesome.

the new theme is nice, but it's missing a "new posts" link next to thread titles to take you to the oldest unread post.

 

[Ellie]

Fixed, thanks.

 

[Stardust]

Two things with the RPG theme...

Spoiler: 1

White outline on the top and bottom of the bar with the date and time of the post.

Spoiler: 2

Topic titles extend a bit too far. :P

 

[Ellie]

Thanks, I'll fix them in the morning.

i wish there were a way to optionally turn these little tabs off

the OCD in me is screaming to get them off my screen

 

[So fist]

Yeah the tabs are bugging me too. They keep attracting my eye and its super annoying.

 

[dadevvtsvre]

The "mobile" skin doesn't have the tabs on the side. (and this isn't a big deal, but for some reason the "mobile" theme is the only one that says I have unread PMs, all the other ones say I don't)

Other than that, this is pretty cool :O (although yeah, doing something with those tabs would be a good idea)

 

[Ellie]

Well which do you want then because you can't have both :|

 

[Hevendor]

off with them... it's really annoying. The selector on the bottom of the page works just fine.

 

[Toams]

'hey wyatt thank you for puttin so much time into this i know you didnt have to do it but you did it anyway your such a good fella but errr my eyes are so sensitive i cant take this please remove them'

wouldve been a better way to say that

wyatt i think they're cool and unique
thank you for this
do whatever you want
ur the man
dont let anybody tell you different

..or woman
whatever you prefer

 

[Venetia]

Well I didn't want to sound ungrateful, it's a neat little thing, but they are rather obnoxious graphically for being something non-integral to site navigation, and it would be very nice if there were an option somewhere to have them removed from view. Like, default, they'd be on, so new members would see them, but there would be an option for them not to be there, for people who've already picked a theme they don't feel like changing.

 

[Hevendor]

I'm just saying it seems unnecessary, most people won't really change themes often enough to warrant a theme selector that doesn't go away on the side of the forum... it's a neat feature, but like I said, the theme picker on the bottom was/is just fine. at least an option to turn the side picker off would be nice.

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

That side of the window is where I click to activate the window, and I keep changing my theme >.> I think there definitely needs to be a way to turn it off.

 

[Ellie]

There is now an option to turn off the theme changer in your profile page.

 

[Venetia]

ty wyatt :D <3

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

There is now an option to turn off the theme changer in your profile page.

Thank you very much, good sir

In the RPG theme, can you make links a different color? Right now links inside posts are black - the same color as the text, which makes it impossible to pick them out. It's one of those things that bothers me. ^^;
