New forum themes

bosk1 · May 18, 2009, 02:44:26 PM

In addition to the blue/light Simple Machines theme, we now have three custom themes for your use:

Black Clouds theme:

I know a lot of you have been using this one since we made it available after the recent crash. But, for those who prefer a lighter theme...

Silver Linings theme:

Just a different color scheme to the Black Clouds theme. The look and functionality are otherwise the same.

DTF Light:

This is a custom theme that I like a lot. Some of the features are a bit different than the other two custom themes (both of which are based on Black Rain). The only real drawback is that it has a set screen width, so it may look too narrow to those who have widescreen monitors. Also, it doesn't have the thread hover/preview feature.

Enjoy.

Hmm, I'm seeing one big blank box and two that say "This image or video has been moved or deleted".

Edit: What the? Now the second and third ones show up.

Edit (2): Okay, now you're just messing with me. All three are visible.

bosk1 · May 18, 2009, 03:00:39 PM

Sorry. I had to redo the screen shots. The ones I had had some private information.

Orbert · May 18, 2009, 03:07:29 PM

I figured it was something like that. But the opportunity to give an admin shit doesn't happen every day, and I had to take advantage.

bosk1 · May 18, 2009, 03:08:34 PM

I would have been disappointed in you if you didn't.

Nick · May 18, 2009, 03:12:51 PM

Thanks Bosk, I like the original theme a lot, but I'll try out that third one for funsies for awhile.

Scurvy!Dreams · May 18, 2009, 03:20:15 PM

Excellent, I've been waiting for a light theme for a while. Thanks!

bosk1 · May 18, 2009, 03:21:17 PM

I had been using the Simple Machines theme, but it is amazing how different this one looks to my eyes.

emindead · May 18, 2009, 03:36:50 PM

Thanks! But I'll stick to the darker theme. My eyes thank you.

DTF black/gray would be great.

Secor · May 18, 2009, 05:40:21 PM

Very nice

VFS · May 18, 2009, 05:41:34 PM

I like the last (light 2) theme quite a bit but I still really miss the thread hovering previews.

Blind_FaithX · May 18, 2009, 05:47:36 PM

Great, thanks

I was in a profund and deep drepression.

I like that theme as well, and the lack of previews is OK with me.

I read this as "New Forum Memes"

So,

Count of Tuscany Theme plz?

BlobVanDam · May 18, 2009, 10:42:06 PM

ok, I've decided I'm sticking with the default SMF white. Great to have more, but I find all of them a bit confusing with the way they show quotes and the layouts. But thanks for adding more

bosk1 · May 19, 2009, 07:00:09 AM

See, this is exactly why I wrote Never Enough! And another thing...uh...wait, what?

Darker themes are nicer to me, they are easier to read. But this Black Clouds theme... I'm on another forum that looks like a bumblebee, all black and yellow, it looks terrible. This one is smoother and nicer than that, but still... horrible bumblebee colours.

Sorry admins, I shall not complain, I shall stick to the Light theme and curse bumblebees in silence.

Edit: No. I shall stick to the bumblebee theme to save my eyes. But still curse it in silence...

bosk1 · May 28, 2009, 11:59:28 PM

Yet another new theme loaded now. I won't bother posting a screenshot because it is the default theme, and I know you all can see it now. This is easily my favorite theme. Hope you all like it. All the other ones are still available if you choose to use them.

BlobVanDam · May 29, 2009, 12:02:52 AM

I don't know what happened, but that must have reset other people's theme settings, because it just changed my theme to the black one, so I had to change it back. No prob though.

staveoffzombies · May 29, 2009, 08:23:13 AM

Interesting. I'll try this new default one for a bit.

hefdaddy42 · May 29, 2009, 08:31:46 AM

My eyes! The goggles they do nothing!

PlaysLikeMyung · May 29, 2009, 08:42:25 AM

I switched back to the Black Clouds dark theme.

the moons one was just too much black and grey. I liked the orange/yellow/whatever that kinda balanced it

Logical Nightmare · May 29, 2009, 09:01:16 AM

Awesome! Bye bye bumblebee!

I love the black/grey one.

This! Definitely better than the orange.

pogoowner · May 29, 2009, 12:07:05 PM

Thank God I turned off that Moons theme I got switched to. Back to the normal Black Clouds theme.

austin · June 01, 2009, 07:29:14 PM

If say a user were to make a good one that fit the site, could dtf use it then?
