What View, suits YOU?
 
Do you use Native or Industrial?

It's obvious I use Native, durrh.

Al the Vykker 11-14-2003 06:55 PM

I use the industrial style. I like it a lot more. The color scheme is really cool, and I like the industrialists in Oddworld.

nads 11-14-2003 07:20 PM

I'm about to switch to native. I miss it so badly.

Mac the Janitor 11-14-2003 08:06 PM

I use Native...Industrial looks mighty cool, but I have a really slow connection, and Native loads in about half the time of Industrial for some reason.

Majic 11-14-2003 08:14 PM

Really? I was switched from industrial to native a while back, and then back to industrial. I'll have to try the load time thing. Much like with old, poorly done animation or internet streaming video, the choppiness and slowness is getting annoying.

Jacob 11-14-2003 09:08 PM

I would use Industrial but it slows down my comp, and thus i use native. Both quite purty though...

Alcar 11-14-2003 09:46 PM

I am currently using the Industrial style.

I've always used Industrial. I've seen the Native scheme and Industrial fits me best. The blacks and blues are more appealing to me.

Native loads faster....

I like industrial better though..

Cloverfield 11-15-2003 03:15 AM

The industrial style is more fancy, so it would take more time to load than the native one generally. It was designed for looks rather than faster loading. So if you want a faster loading one, go with Native.

I also heard Peter mention that Sydney gave us permission to use his old styles again ... maybe we should impliment a couple to give people another choice.

I use industrial. I was really happy with how the design came out. Plus I used to hate the native style for personal reasons. Although it doesn't bug me anymore.

I use Industrial, because I love darkness, but upon learning of Native being faster, I may change back.
What to do, what to do...

Wil 11-15-2003 09:12 AM

I use Industrial because I like it better. Much more sweet.

Silversnow 11-15-2003 11:51 AM

I use industrial because I thought that was all there was. How do I change?

Nath 11-15-2003 12:00 PM

I find that the native one is easier on the eyes. (I use the native one)

Go to 'user cp'.............then to 'edit options' and there you will find the 'style set' where you can change from Industrial to Native or vice versa.

Industrial. Native is too bright for me.

Fez 11-15-2003 06:39 PM

Industrial. It captures the darkness of oddworld perfectally.

beserker slig 11-15-2003 07:05 PM

industrial cuz i don't wanna waste time
switching...not that i have planned...
i mean, people waste time on the internet when we
got archery, and...hiking, and...etc.
i find nature quite calming.
one reason i'm here is...i don't know.

nads 11-15-2003 11:10 PM

Kam, what the fudge choo talkin' 'bout?

Joshy 11-16-2003 01:49 AM

I want to use Alcars style actually, i like the one with cyan color. Nothing is on it except the title owf. loads very fast.

Majic 11-16-2003 01:59 AM

You mean Alcar's layout loads fast AND doesn't get quite as anoying as the Native version? *grunts* Give Majic now. *grunts again* Give Majic old styles. *roar*

Alcar 11-16-2003 05:17 AM

Josh is talking about the style I posted as a preview in Employee Lounge. But, rightly so, it wasn't Oddworld-ish enough.

Alcar...

Silversnow 11-16-2003 03:23 PM

Changed now, and I like native much better. It should be green and brown...

Sekto Springs 11-16-2003 04:02 PM

i remember sydneys old style, it was before i joined (obviously) i visitred this place lots, i never joined because i wasn't sure if it was free or not, but i was young and naive.

dripik 11-16-2003 04:45 PM

Industrial. I prefer the black background. And my banner looks better on it than on green background.

What did you like about it?

Cloverfield 11-18-2003 04:47 AM

Sydney's styles would probably be the fastest loading, as they have no BG images at all. They are just a simple logo in the top left corner and some custom buttons.

I actually think the native style clashes too much color wise now days. I got a lot of criticisim about it at the time ... that the green and blue were a bad idea. It would be better if it had a darker green in there instead of the blue.

I agree, i think we should change native style's color to yellow and purple. Those color are the most interesting i think.

Ashe 11-19-2003 01:00 AM

Hello TheNative2003. I do currently use the industrial view. But sometimes I use the native view as I do like the colours and header a lot more than industrial. I think I will change again soon.

Wolfpac 11-27-2003 01:35 AM

Native
The Gaps between the posts on the Industrial annoys me.
