|
|
Since there's no suggestion forum that I'm aware of I'm throwing this up here. What would be the possibility of Suikox switching over to a wintery theme for the holidays? If most people here are anything like me blue on black gets old after a while. On the other forums I visit that have multiple layouts available I switch up the backdrop regularly to whatever color scheme best reflects the season. So, do you suppose semi-seasonal color schemes might be an option here? I think it would be nice to have a light instead of dark theme for a change, you know, with a snowflake in the corner or something. These colors are awfully dismal for this time of the year.
I know the process of making and implementing a new style set only takes about two hours on vBulletin if you know what you're doing. I'm not sure how phpBB works, but it can't be much more complicated. I realize the staff here are pretty busy, just thought I'd throw it out there in case no one had thought of it before. |

if someone wants to put together a theme and send it to me (IE: post a link to the archive) I'll see what I can do. I unfortunately do not have enough free time to make a theme from scratch. _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

one of my other forums had a feature that made it look like it was snowing on the screen. I dont know how that would work on here or if people would like that.
shad your other forum is prob an invision free or similar forum with the same coding I assume. Those are usually easy to change skins around _________________

IMO many skins is the sign of a board that can't be entertaining without gimmicks. I just realized recently that this forum has a hideous color scheme, but I love it all the same. The office version of this is really nice though. _________________

Yeah the office theme is pretty sharp, but it does not have the little characters on the buttons. It also makes all the invisible/black text clearly visiable =P _________________

It'll defeat the purpose of the office skin if we have avatars, signature banners, and other graphic stuff that will make it look like your doing something non-work-related. I developed that skin specifically so I can work on this site while I'm at work. |

I had never thought of it like that before. Haha, what a good idea =P I'll have to keep that in mind in the future. _________________

The office one is pretty nice if you can live without avatars and signatures. Loads quick too, I bet. :P
I prefer it when a board's skin matches the main site it belongs to, but other than that I don't have much a preference. I do think black-on-white is easier to read for hours than white-on-black, though; not sure why. Other than that, it doesn't bother me. I don't tend to even change if one is offered for most boards; I'm either just that lazy or once I find where everything is, I don't feel like changing it much. _________________
