Forum Templates (I'm adding one)

The forum in which to talk about the forums. A good place for suggestions or gripes.

Forum Templates (I'm adding one)

Post by Station »

Over this weekend I had to look at the forums from a different computer, and I realized that the color scheme we have going on here really IS that bad if your monitor stinks. That guy who uses the dark blue font, I couldn't read it at all. I have been deluded by my bright LCD monitor. So I think I'm going to add the default blue phpbb template, so you can pick whichever one you like in your profile preferences. I will change it up a little though, adding the little alien heads, maybe changing the colors.

The reason I'm letting you know is that currently you can choose that template style and it is the default. Most of you probably have it selected and don't even know it. But I have it so this dark style overrides your choice. When I turn that off, I think most of you might automatically see that other style. I didn't want to change it and have everyone freak out. So, when I change it, don't be alarmed, and if you want the dark style, just go to your profile page and choose it. :)

I would defiently suggest a much lighter gray as the foreground, because some of the transperant images I've used look really bad against this charcol like gray.

I'm pretty much used to this, but a bright light gray/blue mixed with a blue header would look nice.

strange, some people's custom titles are showing up, like yours and Shiny's. But SlmJimy's is not.

Well I think that's because he switched to SubSilver.

But when I switched over, my custom was still the same..until a few minutes and it went back to "Taiyed Brodel". So now I'm back to the default for now.

Ok, to fix that I will have to reinstall a mod for the subSilver template. It shouldn't take long, i'll get a chance to do it later tonight or sometime this week.
