Re: Name the Forums and Ranks (Final Theme Poll)

Ok, final version of the theme poll is now up.

Melankolia has already qualified, coming in first in both polls so far.

As a few additional votes have come in for Polyethylene (including and admin vote) I have added it back in.

Please pick a light theme and a dark theme to go alongside Melankolia

The only real problem with polyethylene in my opinion is it's fixed width. Not only does it have a fixed width, but it's very very narrow (it's the narrowest of the themes in the poll, by a fair margin), leading to tons of wasted screen space on larger resolutions. Hestia is a fluid width, filling your browser edge to edge, which is always superior in my eyes.

I'm not a fan of the fixed width ones either. But I might be able to fix that if everyone wants to go with it.

The less customization we do with the boards, the more theme's we could have in theory.

We need to add the account switch mod, and I was contemplating adding an SEO mod too for nicer urls.

The Account switch requires theme work, and I suspect the SEO one will too

Im fine with either light board (hestia or polethylene) and would never use a dark board so Im going to refrain from voting. I think I like Hestia slightly more, but I hate making decisions.

But unfortunately you didn't make the "middle" background wider, so part of it is splitting off onto the gray sides and I can't read anything outside of the posts. I can give you a screencap if you like.
And I never even got my own damn posting title!

Re: Name the Forums and Ranks (No Current Polll)

Post by Kaz » Wed Sep 30, 2009 11:38 pm

Dark Fantasy joined Melankolia as a clear favourite, however there was less between Hestia and Polyethylene. Therefore we are going for 4 themes rather than just 3.

Melankolia
Dark Fantasy
Hestia
Polyethylene

Melankolia and Polyethylene have now been customised. Hestia and Dark Fantasy need their logos tweaked.

Actually dont scrub that after all. I just had a play and it 'seems' fine to me.

Try the ctrl-f5 thing i suggested.

It was like that for a little while while i made it larger. You prolly have a cached copy
