A new theme
 
I was thinking that the first 2 themes are a bit dark, and sometimes hurts the eyes. Is there a way to make just some kind of none theme or something like that. The other 2 themes left are all so bright that I hardly see the text. I'm not trying to criticize the forum but I was just thinking if the moderators could make something like this forum http://www.joker.si/mn3njalnik/ (it's not english though) because I think this is kinda pleasant color to fit the eyes and look in with pleasure...
I'm just giving an idea, don't take it wrong.

First of all: Forum suggestions and comments is ^^^^ That way.

Second: I think the forum could do with a few more options concerning forum themes. Current ones, while nice, are to some people to bright or dark or whatever. I know for a fact that there are plenty of color scemes out there for the original v bulletin skin. But installing those would make them unsupported for certain of the forum's features since you'd have to adjust every skin manually to make it look right.

If the admins are up to that task then why not. But knowing Alcar and Nate, they are to lazy to do this :p.

AlienMagi 05-06-2009 05:25 AM

Yes about where to post the thread I'm sorry, I was in a hurry.
But allthough there is hardly something new on this forum really, so why not make another theme.

EDIT: wait-just noticed... you are not an admin anymore...?

I'm not lazy. I'm just ignorant. I wouldn't have any idea what to do with vBulletin templates and shit.

I never was. Just a lone old Fancorner mod :).

I doubt this will come to light. Alcar and Max are busy people.

AlienMagi 05-06-2009 11:55 AM

How can you be busy like that... Everything is always fine here...

Jordan 05-06-2009 12:01 PM

They have lives outside of OWF you know.

Wil 05-06-2009 01:14 PM

No, I'm busy typing up all the posts you create. They don’t just appear magically when you press ‘Post’, you know. They all need to be manually copied into the database by someone with the right access and permissions. The constant strain of doing this is why I am too busy to experiment with new forum skins.

Is that actually true? :tard:

Hobo 05-06-2009 01:32 PM

Yeah it is actually.

NO THAT'S AIDS YOU IGNORANT HOMOPHOBIC DICK

I tried to make a forum skin once. It took fucking forever just to color all the tiny buttons. I gave up after hour three without something tangible to show for my work outside of the banner/menu part you see at the top. And that was just the index page.

Oooh... That explain why some of my posts always show up too late.. or never at all :-S

AlexFili 05-07-2009 03:02 AM

Back on the topic of themes, I'd like a industrial theme which is in a similar style to the native one, but with a Big Bro and an armored Slig :D That would be ace.

If this is actually true then that explains it. But what if someone from fan corner made one and send it to you admins so you would just simply upload it...?

Nate 05-07-2009 05:58 AM

There's no point discussing new themes. It's not going to happen until Alcar gets the time and seeing as the last theme he started working on was for Stranger's Wrath, I don't think that is going to happen any time soon.

How did getting to work at 6am go?

Alcar 05-07-2009 04:53 PM

My time is very limited these days, as I have a lot going on at the moment, and the foreseeable future.

It was cancelled, so I didn't need to turn up early.

Alcar...

Hobo 05-07-2009 04:58 PM

No free dinner for you from me then

OddjobAbe 05-08-2009 10:28 AM

This had better not turn into another "tiny text" conversation in which I will and up feeling ashamed because I have contributed to it.

"And those who become admins shall have no rest neither day nor night"...:)

You may remember that post from the "are you going to hell thread", seems like i was right.

Wil 05-08-2009 01:48 PM

No, I don’t.

joshkrz 05-18-2009 10:36 AM

if i find out how vbullitin (i think thats waht this forum is running on) themes work, ill be happy to create a theme for it?

OddjobAbe 05-18-2009 11:25 AM

I'm afraid we can't answer that. Only you can answer that question. Will you be happy? Let's hope you won't be ill.

yerh thats not a problem, but the fact that i dont run vbullitin on my server makes it hard for me to create a theme. I can do graphics and such but i think its up to admin to input CSS code, unless theres a way to create a vbullitin theme package?

ill look into it
