Is there any way someone could go through the archive-that-shall-not-be-named, grab a thread, and create a theme based off of those colors?

Fuck, if Rick could do it (with my help as, like, a 14 year old), any of us could.

I say we start fresh with new colors, and forget about the past.

Yeah, but I'm quite partial to the color scheme. Screw the symbolism, I actually liked it :(.

went through the themes, so far think the default is prolly the best.

kenf's was a close second.  would have been first, if it wasn't so ... well green.  :p

I made a blue one (VariantBlue) which is even less of a tweak of the default style than VariantGreen; hope it's ok.

D00der... you keep using that shitty logo.  Update the variant blue logo.
Title: new themes
Post by: Ken Fitlike on April 11, 2005, 10:11:44 AM
Oops: it inherits the other one as a default. :(

But I've changed it to the other shitty logo now. :)

I think you should pull the string on argon fixed - cause it aint. Many of the images are missing...it looks like a decent theme otherwise.

Sorry about that, I forgot a few but that should be the buttons fixed now.

Thanks.

Is it possible to have some black ones as well? Like the one we had at jboard? :-D

I like the new variant blue, but any chance you could make it a little darker or a different shade of blue?  If its not too much trouble.

Fitlike, you are awesome :cool2:.

Well, VariantDark is -er- darker - is that okay for you?
Title: new themes
Post by: -KEN- on April 11, 2005, 08:59:13 PM
VariantDark might be nicer if the rest of the colors didn't totally clash with it. Do we need some Queer Eye for the Scot Guy in here? :lick:

I'm open to suggestions. :)

edit: If you mean the buttons/icons, I'll get round to fiddling with those in due course.

ohhh, i like the dark one... but the  e-sink logo looks bad with it.. its all rough around the edges.

edit: hmmm, all the images look that way. Im back to default  :dunno:

Hello,

I really like the Firefox theme. I'm currently using it now, with my mozilla browser. This board makes it look like Firefox! ;)

Just thought I'd stop by and say hi.

i think he means white text on dark bg. How about you try black text instead?
Title: new themes
Post by: Ken Fitlike on April 11, 2005, 10:20:23 PM
How's that? Any better?
Title: new themes
Post by: -KEN- on April 11, 2005, 10:23:19 PM
You might want to lighten up the blue link text, it's a bit dark. Also, as I'm sure you're aware, the box around the reply box is a bit too light, compared to the rest.

Other than that, I think it may become my new default. <3

Or maybe darken the link text. I don't know. Whatever looks better. Just the thin, I've-already-seen-this-post links look sort of hard to see.

Darker would be better, I think; lighter is probably worse.
Title: new themes
Post by: Jake on April 11, 2005, 10:27:00 PM
oh man, this is much better. my new default as well.

Thanks, -KEN-. Not sure if I'll be doing much more tonight but I'll try and implement your suggestions as soon as I can.

Actually, the reply box is a bit of a supernova against the dark background. Ouch. :(

just wondering, why is the stylesheet code embedded in the html as opposed to being a separate file? not a complaint, just wondering

if i provided a stylesheet can i add a theme?
Title: new themes
Post by: ober on April 12, 2005, 09:50:49 AM
Themes require an updated XML file, which I can provide to you, but maybe you should just wait until I setup the test board... maybe today.

Either way, I've uploaded a few new styles and I've got a few more.

Warning: Emerald blue seems to be missing a lot of images.  It's all pissed up.
Title: new themes
Post by: Ken Fitlike on April 12, 2005, 10:42:41 AM
For VariantDark I've darkened the text edit areas and fixed some of the buttons so they don't have all that lighter crap around them; the icons are unchanged and I've left the hyperlink colours unchanged, too. If you still prefer them - or anything else - to be changed then let me know.

Thanks.
Title: new themes
Post by: Jake on April 12, 2005, 12:02:11 PM
Hey Ken I really like VariantDark, but you've changed th link colors now...they actually blend in with the background and you have to rollover them for highlight :( could you change it back, pleeeaaasssseee

thanks.
Title: new themes
Post by: Betazep on April 12, 2005, 12:17:51 PM
Yeah... I was using it for a bit yesterday... and it was great.  But now that the unread links blend, I had to go back to the VariantBlue.  (which I also like)
Title: new themes
Post by: Ken Fitlike on April 12, 2005, 12:20:52 PM
Anyone care to give me a screenie of what they mean? The link colours are still the same  for me in firefox - unchanged. :dunno:

edit: Actually, I tell a lie - I had changed the 'visited' colour but I couldn't see any difference. I've restored it to it's original value - how's that?

Strange... It looks fine now.  Maybe it was just a fluke.

I like VariantBlue better... the black text on the dark background is harder to see IMO.

Hey Fitlike... I'm kinda in the same boat with -Ken- (although we're sitting at opposite ends and he's keeping HIS FUCKING HANDS TO HIMSELF!), but could you try to hack up a version of the old FD?  I did like those colors quite a bit.

ham and jam: I like the horror movie-ness of it. It is quite dark though.

Post by: ober on April 12, 2005, 02:37:50 PM
Well, either way, I didn't like it being fixed width either.  I will happily change that setting for the other themes that aren't full width if people ask for it.

i like the pinstriped - its classy and elegant - but there is no entropysink logo on it (and i get a bit confused with the coloured balls next to the thread names - which ball means what i have to keep matching the colours but its nice) - i did like the SoftBlue on JBoard that was very nice
Title: new themes
Post by: ober on April 12, 2005, 07:22:52 PM
Yeah... I was using the softblue on jboard too.  I wonder if fitlike could copy those colors over here.  And I bet he could fix the logo too.... I could look into that one also.
