New Forum Themes? -

Nobody will use it.

True, nobody will use that, it would take a long time to load, and it would look really messy. Simple is best for this kind of thing.

BTW FeeCo Depot now has 5 votes

..

STM, post your work in progress on here so people can give feedback. What's annoying for you is when you'll do all the work and finalise it only for people then to criticise it. Best to get feedback during the development, imo..

oh, come on, man. OANST doesn't look that bad.

Don't forget that as the mod of Necrum, my face should be central to any Necrum theme.

It should include the 'GET THE FUCK OUT' gif in the main banner, then we could make it as the default forum theme for new members trying to join. That way, they can be under no illusions of what to expect from this place.

Mr. Bungle · #**124** 01-25-2011, 09:21 PM

How long have the current themes been available for, anyways?

OANST · #**125** 01-26-2011, 08:28 AM

If by nobody you mean everybody, I agree.

STM · #**126** 01-26-2011, 09:28 AM

Ouch.

And OANST...perhaps I could arrange something cryptic?

EDIT: FUCKING DAMN NEW PAGES!

Ok, so Necrum theme is a shit fuck to produce so I might have to swing towards feeco anyway...I'll upload colour schemes and title images once I've done my spanish and english coursework

Mudokon_Master · #**127** 01-28-2011, 12:06 AM

Noooo...... Feeco will be awesome as well right?
The image I had in my head for Necrum was just amazing and as for which theme I use, Native is just so much better probably because I haven't really given the other ones a go! Muahaha

T-nex · #**128** 01-28-2011, 01:14 AM

Actually... I'm curious for usability's sake.

Oanst, what makes you like Honey bee so much? Is it something to do with navigation? Less annoying colors?
I mean, I know you find the colors irritating... But your suggestion to a skin could be valuable. Criticism is always good.

You know... I don't think anyone has every conducted a survey on usability on this forum o.o

OANST · #**129** 01-28-2011, 07:30 AM

Actually, Honeybee has the least amount of features of all the skins, so it's definitely not navigation. It's the colors, pure and simple. The earthy browns combined with the white text makes everything very easy on the eyes, while the colors on the other skins are either too dark, or too putrid looking for me.

MeechMunchie · #**130** 01-28-2011, 09:35 AM

It does, however, look like sick.

OANST · #**131** 01-28-2011, 09:58 AM

Noooo. The Munch skin looks like sick. The colors in that one are vile.

STM · #**132** 01-28-2011, 10:34 AM

Ok, well perhaps Necrum Desert will not be for you OANST, I'll upload some unfinished colour schemes and the title image (also unfinished,) but it all needs work.

Also it will take some time because my laptop is crashing and the wifi in my house is fucked...it'll take some time and also I sustained a terrible injury on my neck from a vicious rugby tackle that has rendered me unable to move my neck and head...it's hard to type and my activity on my PC in general will go down over the next few days...probably

Dixanadu · #**133** 01-28-2011, 01:32 PM

You play rugby?

Kudos on the work, though. If it's the real deal, Industrial will have to lay down.

STM · #**134** 01-28-2011, 01:37 PM

I do and have done for 11 years but I took a break and today fucked myself over in a bad tackle...plus some fucker jumped at my neck.

Did you miss the post in Fan Corner where he said he was using MSPaint?

STM · #**136** 01-28-2011, 01:38 PM

Ehem, allow me to illustrate my current feelings in two words...ehem...fuck you.

Since I don't want to go to fan corner, STM, I assume that nobody has led you to http://www.paint.net/ yet.

I'm afraid not. Doesn't necessarily mean it'll be crap though.

Last time I played rugby, I was utterly destroyed.

OANST · #**139** 01-28-2011, 02:48 PM

They let girls play rugby?

Oh snap!

Sexist!!!

Hmph!

STM · #**142** 01-28-2011, 03:53 PM

They do...not very fun to watch though.

Oh...I see what you did there. Yer, funny.

@WoF, I'm not sure I understand what you mean w/ this link?

Wings of Fire · #**143** 01-28-2011, 03:56 PM

I mean it's a freeware paint program that's a billion times better than MSPaint and not that far below the level of Photoshop.

Dixanadu · #**144** 01-28-2011, 04:01 PM

Yes, females wrestling each other in the dirt wearing shorts.

Not very fun by your standards.

Phylum · #**145** 01-28-2011, 04:20 PM

Or you could use the GIMP like Nowtun and I suggested.

***Nate*** · #**146** 01-28-2011, 04:24 PM

On-topic, please, everyone.

STM · #**147** 01-29-2011, 02:59 AM

They're helping me Nate.

I might download gimp when I have a minute but atm I more welcoming to comments on the initial design.

Phylum · #**148** 01-29-2011, 04:16 AM

Nate was referring to the female rugby comments.

I really hope that picture you attached took you less then 2 minutes to make, otherwise I wouldn't even bother anymore.

BTW this topic is tingeling my designer urges. It's too bad I don't really have time for it right now or I might just whip up some awesome Feeco theme.

***Nate*** · #**150** 01-29-2011, 07:50 PM

I don't get what that image is meant to be.
