New Theme
Hey guys. We decided that it was time for a new theme, and so I made one. Smile It isn't finished yet, but I've decided to start testing for everyone. xD So the only members allowed to use it are Administrators and Appreciated Members. Go to User CP -> Edit Options -> Other Options -> Board Style -> The Same Old Thing to change styles and look at it. :D Obviously there's still work to be done.

RE: New Theme
Looks fantastic! The only thing that bugs me is boxed in red:

Hard to read text is hard to read.

Also, needs navigation to the main site!

RE: New Theme
Duly noted. I had noticed these issues too. I also plan on editing the images more thoroughly and removing somethings that were there automatically. Right now it is too close to the other two styles. Also I want to bring back the style that was present when LI came back most recently. :)

RE: New Theme
Wow, it looks really nice. It surprising you could make this in such a small period of time. Aside from what Skylands said earlier, there's a few thing I need to point out.
  • The "Help" at the top of the page extends into the dark area, as does "Powered" at the bottom.
  • The Lugia shadows on the index are too light.
  • The blue text at the bottom (View/Send/Subscribe and MyBB/MyBB Group) is too light.
  • When a post stretches the page, the dark area is still somewhat visible under it.
  • The left area on posts stretch too easily from large avatars.
  • The page number buttons are hard to read.
  • I dislike the white outline of the words in the header. Not that it's anything wrong, but...

RE: New Theme
Skylands and Gameboo, I'd already noticed those things xDD All of them I plan on remedying ASAP. <3 Thanks for helping me remember to fix them, guys, and Gameboo, thanks for the compliment.

@skylands what rules

Oh and do you think I should make the forum marker icons darker or the backgrounds darker?

RE: New Theme
The forum rules, derp. They were removed with the main site navigation on top when switching to the new style.

What forum markers are you talking about?

RE: New Theme
The first two forum markers are fine, but the one that is for locked topics needs to be changed.

I added a link for the rules at the top of the page next to Help.
