Permanent Friday theme?
« on: April 01, 2011, 08:13:21 AM »
As some others pointed out, this theme is actually pretty good. Using this color scheme without the "Friday" stuff and with Verdana would be pretty sweet. Any chance this could happen?

I agree, this would be awesome if we could change it back and forth.

Sometimes when I load the index, it comes up in the usual skin. This new skin is awesome.

It wouldn't be too hard to make a less tacky version of the theme. I'm willing to do so if Bosk agrees and there is sufficent interest.

I really prefer the dark theme. Much easier on my eyes.

I think any or all of the past themes, April Fool's or not, might as well be available as choices.  I mean, the mods took the time to create them, why not use them?

I think my favorite theme here was the TransImperial theme, which I had until today.  I hope it comes back as an option.

We will not be deleting any themes that are already installed so rest assured that Transimperial will be back.

Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing pretty much every post with little scrolling bars on the side of the text?  Even posts with only one or two lines of text have scrolling bars.  If we keep this theme, there's a bug that needs to be squashed.

I don't see that.  Try zooming out?

I wouldn't want this as a default theme, but maybe once in a while - on fridays - this theme returns.  :lol

Yeah, they go away if I zoom to 125%, and stay gone when I go back to 100%.  Some kind of screwup between IE calculating the vertical height required for comic sans and how high it actually is when displayed.

In before "lol IE".  I'm at work, this is what we have.

Don't worry, Firefox had it too.

Good to know, at least.  That would seem to support my theory that it's the theme itself and not the browser causing the issue, although it's really both in either case.  :laugh:

Yay, it's back!  Although it took me a while to find it, as "Flagrant" was not the most obvious choice.

Flagrant was the name of the theme it was based on. When it was uploaded the xml wasn't changed to update the name.

I just meant that if it said "Transimperial" rather than "Flagrant" then it would be a bit more obvious, but it was more an observation, not a suggestion.  Is there a way to change the name that shows up in the list?

Not without reuploading it I believe, but I can have a look.

Alright, first off, sorry for bumping this long-dead thread again, but I can't find the old themes anywhere. In Profile > Forum Profile > Look and Layout there's only some themes like BtS, BC&SL and the standard (for example).

It's not that important, but the themes you're talking about seem pretty cool, so I'd like to try them out, if possible.

Boobs are a perfect representation of the universe.  They are circles within circles.  What is the single most common shape in the universe?  Circles.  When I look at boobs, I think of the big bang.

They don't exist anymore.  Old themes are not compatible with SMF 2.0, unfortunately.
