I'd just like to say, I love this layout. I love the little spheres that glow blue when there are new posts. That is so cool. Props to Fenguin who made the place look good. I wish I could design like that...

And since I'm thanking all of you let's not forget the ones who made the forums work, AJ and Edgewize! It works like a dream.

Once they make the skin a little darker, then things will be looking more closer to home. :)

Edgewize
02-08-2004, 5:45 AM
Colors can be tweaked :) I've also got a totally different layout in the pipeline, so people can choose what they want to see. But it's a long way off and very low on the priority list.

I quite like this colour scheme. I thought the other one was too dark.

Demon_Child
02-08-2004, 6:05 AM
I prefer the darker scheme since it is easier on the eyes at night.

Alert! Member opinion! Post from a nobody!

I think I like it better darker, mainly because I'm used to to some forums I visit. It's the admin's call, anywayz, so ignore away!

BSTRhino

That's the wonder about themes!

Demon_Child
02-08-2004, 6:31 AM
Maybe we could have more than just one scheme. Sort of like when BF was relatively new we had like 4 schemes to chose from. Well we could have like a warboards (dark) scheme and a warboards (light) scheme.

I think if they ask Fenguin to darken everything for a darker version of this theme, they'll end up making him cry. ;) This is Fenguin's precious, and you wouldn't ask a man to do anything to his precious, would you?

How about having black backgrounds, so we can still post subliminal messages that noone ever reads?

If you find the hex color code for the postbit background you can still do it, just insert a color code instead of a color word.

Demon_Child
02-08-2004, 10:05 AM
heh It would be great for Q&A's. Type the question in white and the answer in black in a black background.

Multiple themes would be great! Perhaps a dark red one?

Warboard Lite and Warboard Dark looks fine, I have a Mac modded comp anyway :p

I actually like this skin exactly how it is :)

Still, if others want a dark scheme I'm sure an alternative will pop up sooner or later. ;)

Okey, so maybe I'm just easily satisfied... or perhaps just too glad to be out of BlizzForums... *shrug*

Why does everything have to be black? :P

This is quite a 'getting-used-to' feeling, since BF was a dark place, but I'm kinda use to it since The Southern Legacy (http://www.thesouthernlegacy.com) came back on. :) I like this layout!

02-08-2004, 1:32 PM
I really enjoy the theme.

Dark = Depressing for me.

But I understand the need for a choice layout in the future.

Awww... I didn't know you cared so much. :D

Dark version might appear sometime in the future though. =]

I remeber when this theme was just a few pixels.
Themes grow up so fast.

02-08-2004, 2:57 PM
Blah. Its a little... too grayscale.

Needs more... blue.

Luther-Stark
02-08-2004, 2:58 PM
I think a choice theme would be excellent. I've seen it work on some other boards. Then again, if there isn't, i can guarentee you we would all get use to this. Still, it is very Bright :)

Fenguin
02-08-2004, 3:00 PM
Blue eh. Maybe I can change the colors of people's titles with respect to their ranks. What a novel idea! :D

AJ
02-08-2004, 3:04 PM
I prefer username coloring myself, but it's overdone sometimes.

Fenguin
02-08-2004, 3:06 PM
What does "overdone" mean? :D

AJ
02-08-2004, 3:11 PM
(means i set it up at BlizzForums, and much as I love that place, I like to be original) ;)

Fenguin
02-08-2004, 3:18 PM
:( but we need more colors. And also, every single forum in the universe does username coloring. To defer from the mean will result in us being labeled crazy. Not that it's a bad thing or anything... :D

The white background makes me feel like I'm staring at a lightbulb. Just the option of a little darkness would be nice.

Fenguin
02-08-2004, 4:06 PM
Something tells me I should change it right now. :P

WeekendLazyness
02-08-2004, 5:45 PM
Make it dark blue.

Demon_Child
02-08-2004, 5:46 PM
Or something in a darker theme, would be great. :)

zergstain
02-08-2004, 8:11 PM
I prefer the black of BF becauseyour monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision.and he's always right ;)

Btw, where on the web is Fenquin from, I never heard of him until today, yet he's an admin here.

Fenguin
02-08-2004, 8:13 PM
Who stares at a computer for hours at a time? ;)

Ok, I do... anyone else? :D

Demon_Child

Darker themes were easier on the eyes at night.


*Ahem* I really hate quoting myself, but I have already answered it is a more vague sort of way.

Fenguin
02-08-2004, 8:17 PM
I think that if I get rid of all this extraneous white, it might be easier on the eyes :D

edit: going to change the background to black for a little while to see; buttons WILL LOOK WEIRD. repeat: BUTTONS WILL LOOK WEIRD :D

BSTRhino

Fenguin

Gah, never mind :D

I'll do it late at night when there's no one browsing the forums :D

BSTRhino
02-08-2004, 8:21 PM
You're not kidding about the wierd button thing. You will still keep this white theme, won't you? It looks more elegant.

Chocolate in the shape of Fenquins! As manufactured by OboeQuru. :D

Fenguin

For those of you wondering what's going on, the new language all started when we created a new word meaning he/she: phe. Search the threads for "phe" for enlightenment. ;)

But you don't know what Fenquins are shaped like, now do you ;)

Demon_Child
02-08-2004, 9:07 PM
Depending on what the word is and the context of the words will determine where they go, so far most of them belong here in the bar and lounge (sorry, it sounds better that way) :)

Visceral
02-08-2004, 9:07 PM
I'd just like to add my voice to those who think that having a darker skin as an option in the CP would be a Good Idea™. Not to bash this one, though, I think it looks fantastic.

Demon_Child

I wouldn't mind a darker theme, also.

OboeGuru dont be an idgit ;P

phpBBs are awesome in the right hands, I have seen some truly great Themes/Skins for them. And besides that this skin right here could just as easily be on a phpBB ;P

It just takes work. and dont bash Open Source, even though some people think I hate it >.>, its fun to use.

Sides phpBBs arent $160 and they still come with tech support.

PHPbb is my saviour! Honestly, the entire php-nuke, phpbb scene has really revolutionised the internet. To think that in a few minutes, you can have a fully functional php/mysql website up and running with bells and whistles.

Now any idiot can get a website up and running in less than a day . . .I guess we have to ask whether or not that's a good thing :P.

Really not that big a deal. I have been planning to modify the subsilver theme to my own use (instead of starting from scratch -- damn) but it cant really be that hard. Takes a lot of time though, hehehe

Mainly though I am waiting for phpBB2.2 -- its looking very promising...

Seriously, the only thing I would like on this forum changed is avys and sigs allowed. Well, I would like more forums, like in BlizzForums, but, hell, this is a relatively small community, like TSL (http://www.thesouthernlegacy.com).

But, seriously, at least avys and sigs allowed, or it's much harder to distinguish the different people. Besides, it all looks monotomous this way.

BTW, I like the smaller font on the headings, and how everything looks like brand-new shiny metal.

But, hey, I wouldn't mind helping with some image editing if you guys need it. That way, I could perfect my PS skills.

A fetish with white when white means purity... now that's some mondo breaking of mutual exclusivity.

And this doesn't resemble BlizzForums that much.

Mmm... virgins...

It's kind of hard for it not to resemple BlizzForums in some respect. I mean, the skinning is based upon the same system. One bighugemondoüber difference is this: there are lots of curves here, and few to none at BlizzForums. Every one likes curves. Especially the curves of virgins. Mmm... virgins...

Fenguin
02-10-2004, 4:27 PM
But 1) I had to make it metallic because "war" reminds you of metal stuff, and 2) There were hot virgins dancing in front of my face when I made the theme ;) So I just copied their essence onto the layout :D

Yes, Charles, great layout. I love it, and the good thing is it's not similiar to BF or Fenguin. I say this because it's much better to have something different, and usually when a designer makes one layout, they sort of carry that over into every other layout they make, so they become similiar, and I like how this reminds me in no way of Fenguin or BF (besides the people, and the User CP and whatnot bar).

Also maybe we should do like a crazy layout contest. I'm sure many here are good at this sorta thing. Maybe even with partners (I call fengy :D).

Hehe, thanks :) I plan on redesigning the whatnot bar soon. Hehehe like even today!
And hehe, layout contest? :) That would be a pretty cool idea :D

I'm going to start calling Fenguin Charles, just for shits and giggles.

Fenguin
02-10-2004, 5:54 PM
*giggle* Hehe, he called me Charles :D

It's hard for me to call Charles "Fenguin". I usually end up having to change it in every post I make that refers to him in some way. :D

Fenguin
02-10-2004, 6:00 PM
I always call you "Nick" too. :D But I usually catch myself before I click on that little detonation button ;)

Or the edit button. Damn...too bad real-life didn't have ctrl + z, I could ask a girl out, if I get ownz0rized, then I just go "undo" and I'm good as new.

Aye, nice indeed. Very sleek and smooth looking.

Could use a little color, but hey, beggars can't be choosers ;]

Yeah, a Ctrl + Z for life would be awesome on so many levels.

Fenguin
02-10-2004, 6:22 PM
Actually, I'm thinking of adding some color, but I need to wait until avatars/sigs are enabled, since they give lots of color to the forum, and I don't want to overdo it by adding even more ;)

Do you two guys know each other personally?

OboeGuru
02-10-2004, 6:32 PM
There's a lot of empty space. Might you be putting the IM links elsewhere to fill up space and match the GUI sometime?

Do you two guys know each other personally?

Yeah, we go to the same school (and have a few of the same classes, for those that haven't seen some of our references to school in other threads) and I help him run Fenguin Forums. :D

Fenguin
02-10-2004, 6:35 PM
Maybe maybe maybe ;)
I wanted to put the IM links up above, but i thought it would look weird. Perhaps I should reconsider.

Lovers quarrel? :p

On the layout, I love the white, I've been to enough dark and blue and grey and black sites that it's nice to be at a forum that has white, makes the place seem like there's more space :) hmm....White sale on right now at K-mart! ;)

Fenguin
02-10-2004, 6:58 PM
I can just see the headline: "SALE: Buy one white person get another free... We also have All-New Yellow people for a limited edition low price!"

you should've caught on by now, most of your fellow forumgoers are living within like 20 miles of me. just draw a circle around AJ and that's the majority of people. ;)

That's divine providence if I ever heard of such.

you're included, so i guess so.
it's mostly charles that makes it divine though, damn man's talents are biblical in proportion. ;)

Fenguin
02-10-2004, 7:29 PM
Going to do something weird to the forum title; bear with me! :D

btw Me? Make stuff divine? I think you got me and you confused, AJ. Just replace "charles" with "AJ" in the sentence and you've just about got it. ;)

AJ
02-10-2004, 7:33 PM
How am I so divine?

ZeroDarkStar

It's the name. Beleive me.

Erm, why would I do that to AJ?

Oh yeah.

Don't worry, your eyes will be satisfied soon ;)

seriously they do.

OboeGuru

Darn right they do! It's the perfect blend of raccoon and deer.

And AJ, perhaps they don't care as long as you don't go there anymore? Just a thought.

ZeroDarkStar
02-10-2004, 7:54 PM
Do they?

Or are your taste buds playing tricks on you? O_o

It's not significantly different, but it is different. The edges are more clearly defined or something like that,

Fenguin

Actually, I didn't upload/finish my new design yet. I needed to go work on gov, so I just quickly made new sides for the navbar [since i screwed it up trying to test my design that i later threw out] ;P

OboeGuru
02-10-2004, 9:46 PM

Let's call it no change for now. But change is come soon!

The little smiley face on the Yahoo! icon gave it away. It's just so blantantly different. :D

AJ
02-10-2004, 10:52 PM
Aye, but i think it looks better, no?
And I know the others all look better. =]

Must find more small images to correct, damn Charles.. :p

OboeGuru
02-10-2004, 10:57 PM
Is anything else planned for the dark grey bar? Or is it going to be just there like the lighter greys above it?

AJ
02-10-2004, 11:01 PM
I told Charles my vote was for the IM icons to shift up a bit, so I suspect that may occur at some point. And there are several more things that could pop into the postbit at any time, depending on how hard I work on things tonight. ;)
