A Scrabania theme would be boss.

T-nex 01-12-2011 05:22 PM

I think a snowy theme would be pleasing =)

Yes, a "snowy" theme would be most pleasing.

I'll give you a snowy theme.

I'd be willing to try making a nice simple one at some point. I don't know html or anything, but if the folder with all the imagery was replicated and posted here then anyone could try creating something. Nothing's gonna happen unless someone in charge like Alcar logs in and pulls off the folder for us. It can't be that difficult can it?.. :p

Wil 01-14-2011 09:20 AM

Getting Peter to do anything or respond to anything can be that difficult, yes.

Strike Witch 01-15-2011 06:23 AM

I wish he'd just upload some basic white-background template theme thing.

Mac Sirloin 01-15-2011 11:12 AM

OWf works just fine on my iPod touch.

Hobo 01-15-2011 02:22 PM

Can we have a Hobo theme?

Edit: :hobo:

Strike Witch 01-16-2011 06:25 AM

Yeah, that way we won't need the real hobo and can ban the smelly bastard.

Hobo 01-16-2011 12:06 PM

I like your thinking.

Manco 01-16-2011 12:20 PM

How on earth do you make an entire forum theme out of a single GIF?

Crashpunk 01-16-2011 12:41 PM

Replace the background image with the Hobo GIF.
Easy.

STM 01-20-2011 09:45 AM

Ok, I'm back douchebags, so you'd think I had time to do this...no. I've been shit busy (like watching constantly to see when my banfraction expires busy.) So if I'm going to do this I need a vote...here's the list of the possibilities I'll do for y'all:

Necrum:
Feeco: (my personal preferance)
SW last legs snow theme: (just for Nexy ;) )
Scrabania theme:

Can I get a vote please?

Elmatto753 01-20-2011 11:22 AM

Scrabania. If you could.

Nate 01-20-2011 03:23 PM

In the spirit of optimism and fair play, I have added a poll to this thread.

enchilado 01-20-2011 04:03 PM

Necrum. But I can try to figure out how to do that if you dun wanna.

AvengingGibbons 01-21-2011 01:22 AM

ScrabTrapMan, can the layout be however you want it to be? Or do somethings have to stay the same? I have awesome ideas for if it allows for a high level of freedom. I want the FeeCo Depot one too :).. pm me or whatever if u wanna hear me out STM

OANST 01-21-2011 07:50 AM

Scrabtrapman, can you answer the questions about this thing that is never going to happen, please? We're all dying to know how much imaginary crap can be put into this imaginary project.

MeechMunchie 01-21-2011 08:04 AM

That's not very nice.

STM 01-21-2011 09:09 AM

Gah fuck you you pessimistic bastard. I have no idea what I'm going to add but if you have a question ask me and I'll try to answer!

@MM you tell him!

T-nex 01-21-2011 11:54 AM

Oh let him have his moment <.<

Edit: In response to Oanst.

Edit edit: But really STM.... If you wanna do this, I'm preeeetty sure, you'll need to learn the set up of the forum and stylesheets and stuff. Which only admins have access to.

If you know nothing about CSS or HTML, I dunno if this project will come to fruitation. But then again, I don't even know how the themes work.
I'm just saying, be wary that you wont just do work that will go to waste... If you get past all the theory and code learning or course.

STM 01-21-2011 12:11 PM

I have some knowledge of HTML but I'm not finished learning...and before I need the style sheets I need to create bitmaps and stuff...fonts...indents and stuff like that.

Oh, and this isn't a moment, I'm generally trying to give something back to the forum.

I don't think you know what you're doing.

T-nex 01-21-2011 12:29 PM

Yea really...


Anyway, one of the ways to do it is to just create the image, and then slice it up later.... but really. Yea need to know all the different blocks and stuff. X_x

And to create this stylesheet, I'm pretty pretty sure that you'll have to co-operate with one of the admins. But I think Alcar is the only one who can implement it.

STM 01-21-2011 12:30 PM

Hmm, so T-Nex...your an admin...wanna help? XD

T-nex 01-21-2011 12:33 PM

I'm a mod. Not an admin <.<
Ask Nate or Wil :) I'm sure they will help..... if you.. bribe them.

Manco 01-21-2011 12:33 PM

Moderator =/= administrator.

If Alcar could throw up a theme pack for people to do with as they please, that would be nice.

T-nex 01-21-2011 12:34 PM

Yea... how would that be done though? Who knows...

If I knew the system, I might actually have found the sparetime to give it a crack :p I love doing graphical work. And I love working with code. But I don't. So meh.

Manco 01-21-2011 12:35 PM

I guess as a last resort you could go through the forum and save every image you could, and reverse-engineer a new theme from there.

T-nex 01-21-2011 12:36 PM

Fuck no :p I'm not that masochistic.

STM 01-21-2011 12:39 PM

Hmm, welp...before I do anything I need to end this poll, I'll give it two or three days before I decide.

With oral sex. And I want a Grubbs theme.

STM 01-21-2011 02:49 PM

They wish and no. ;)

We take bribes, sure, but can't really help all that much. This is more of an Alcar or Cloverfield thing.

Phylum 01-21-2011 03:50 PM

I don't think Alcar would help you put one together because then he'd be expected to implement it.

Alcar 01-21-2011 08:03 PM

Awwww, you guys! <3

You don't need the templates or whatever from the back-end. If you are able to style this page (showthread) with the available HTML and CSS, I would be able to take that and do the template magic for everything else.

Alcar...

STM 01-22-2011 01:49 AM

Right, so I need to make all the images...font...boxes etc. It looks like it's gonna swing towards Necrum as well.

Dixanadu 01-22-2011 04:48 AM

I like the Industrial theme, I don't see how anything could be better.

I wouldn't mind a Necrum one, if it met the expectations that I constructed in my head.
