Topic: Nice and dark in here

[b_dubb]

all black skin with grey half tones.  looks pretty cool

[punkinpie]

Yeah!  I like it!

[Michael Vandeven]

glad u guys do.  the previous theme was wearing thin on me.  it started feeling a little "year 2000" for my taste.  too many big huge curves and '57 chevy looking graphics.  also, some of the text within quotes was nearly impossible to read.  i think this one will do for a long time to come.

To see what nested quotes look like

The design is okay, but I find the print a little difficult to make out clearly.

I have to agree I'd be unlikely to read long nested quotes, as the print gets smaller with less contrast as it goes in further.  But, I believe the name and time stamp on the quote links to the original, which is easier to read.

would you guys prefer the overall forum text be white rather than the current grey?  let me know.

I prefer grey.

for the longest time, the search box (under the logo at the top) has been unusable.  when you would try to click it, it would instead link to the main page of the forum... and sometimes it was even invisible.  i've fixed that.  finally.  took me a long time to pin down the problem.

let me guess. the Coast Gab logo was floating over the search box in a z-index layer?

YES!

or beige is a pleasing compromise - actually I like beige better.

and add lightblue as an option

and, and, and, and...

let's see - does lightgreen work? Yup, that's please for other options as well.

I like the current layout a lot. The grey text is very easy on my eyes.

[Michael Vandeven]

ok... i'm going to put a poll at the top of this thread.   the votes will decide what happens with the text color, because otherwise, i have no idea what people really want.

hell if i know... haha!


it was this block of code in this theme's index.css...

Code: [Select]

#logo a {
position: absolute;
top: 1em;
right: 2em;
display: block;
width: 390px;
height: 80px;
cursor: pointer;
background: url(../images/img/logo.png) no-repeat;

the width was set to something like 500px and the height was set to 200px.
