If you do keep this, it looks like I'll have to change my sig color and my title and name colors...clashing horribly!

Mine actually look cooler.

Kinda glow!

Ack, and make the font in the quote box a light color!

LOL!! I'm not the only one that can't see the quotes!

Post by **[Syl]** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 4:18 pm

Nah, I can't see 'em very well, either.

Spoiler

testing, testing... one, two, three

Spoiler works.

And it's not that ya can't see the quotes--ya can if ya strain--but the only way to really read them like we used to is to highlight them. Bah, that's too much effort for these old bones . . .

Don't like it..... Too dark and too hard to see the type.

I thought it was Halloween, when I first saw this.

Could it be an option to choose themes in Profile? Right now this new theme seems to overwrite the deafult SubSilver phpBB theme, and even the other choice is a brown/orange one.

I do not really like this new theme. Very demanding of one's eyes.

Woah, wacky. I have nothing to do with this, heh. Although I don't know how soon I'll get used to the dark backround with light text...

Oh, by the way, the Administrators don't show up in the members list at the bottom. Same color as the background, heh.-jay

HOLY CRAP ON A STICK! Don't do that again without warning vain, I run on familiarty, I almost died when I logged on

But seriously, it looks kinda cool.

I think its loverly...... it reminds me of a great big chocolate and caramel thingy..... I have a feeling i'll be needing the soup diet after spending a few more days with these colours

....and Hier.... Crap on a Stick does not evoke wholesome mental images

Not even if it's holy?

(Can't delete my posts here, so I'm just "editing" them.)

Just a point - why didn't you just create a new theme, instead of editing subSilver? That way people could've chosen not to use the new colours if they wanted...

Post by **danlo** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 8:24 pm

We are experimenting with new color themes on a dummy Watch page-in order to find the best match for the website. Your suggestion about a theme option is a good one Murrin-and I've brought that to the attention of the site team. Vain's just playing around here-but this almost matches the SRD proto-site--The finished product will be much more technically refined and we are working on that--Vains just turning the pre-site Watch brown and looking at some things that's all.

Call me a colourcist, but I don't like the brown.

Post by **Cheval** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 10:07 pm

WHAT THE??????

At first I though "This is weird" But it just needs a bit to get used to I guess. Not set in stone yet, maybe a stone color when it's done?

Post by **Vain** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 10:07 pm

Everything is possible but the more themes that are provided means that I need to make a zillion changes to the templates just to get them up to speed.

I will tinker with the colours until they work for everybody. I'm not necessarily a fan of brown either but I'm working roughly within the scope of what is needed.

Thanks for all your input guys. I'll start working on correcting some of the more glaring problems as we go.

I'm going to make all the effects shop stuff free so that you can tinker at will

(and yes, I'll change the Satan, I mean Santa smiley as well)

^Looks like the Vain smilie has to be fixed as well, heh.-jay
