New Theme

[Ghan]

Obviously you've seen it now.
Opinions, suggestions, comments, complaints all welcome. And anyone who makes some nice vBulletin buttons in a Starcraft 2 style will receive MAJOR cookies from me.

Enjoy,
Ghan

Hey,

I really like the background choice and the new layout, however, some of the colours are real eye-strainers. The green is nice against darker blue (as seen above where "The Helper Forums > Starcraft II Zone > Starcraft II Discussion > New Theme" is located), however, against that other light blue it's really horrible (no offense). The blue itself is what's ruining it in my opinion, the rest, however, is nice. I look forward to improvements

Oh and also, I made a quick image for the reply button. It's not that great, so I can understand if you don't use it.

You can choose between either this:

or this:

Tell me if you want any more done.

Only thing I really don't like is that some sections are pure white, which hurts my eyes with the dark(ish) background. Like the Reply area, Options, and Quick Reply.

Quickly edited my post, I updated it to make it fit the Starcraft 2 theme a bit more.

And to add on, I think the side-bar links should be changed to the colour of this current text in posts. Also, you should switch the background colours around from the header part and the links. For example, Site Navigations background should be the lighter blue not the darker blue. The link background should have the darker blue. Even these posts, has the same contrast, so I think you should really consider changing that. It would make it much easier to the eyes.

Bold not Bold

kinda have trouble distinguishing between those.

and the the link color is bad.. it could be better.

maybe in orange or something?

and the main 'forum page' (where i see the posts)
are harsh on the eyes.

My eyes died.


The colors are too strong, the green and light blue are pretty evil. Especially the main page, like Blade already mentioned.

EDIT: Nice background though.

1. There is no way we can edit how wide bold characters should be. Probably needs a certain amount of time to get used to it.

2. Once you scroll down to the bottom, background colors change to black, which I believe it shouldn't be like that. I thought stars and other planets would appear underneath the large planet we're seeing at the top.

Unless we go down so below, that we can see the planet's other side of the surface.

3. And what do you think about the white text?

4. The Quick Reply theme didn't match with the background theme.

5. There isn't an option to revert back to default vBulletin theme in StarCraft II section.

6. The double I's at the top, below the "The Helper.Net" logo, appears to be disappearing.

Other than No. 5, I have no comments for the rest of them.

how do we turn it off

Daskunk has a better layout for his profile...

 

[Ghan]

Some more things have been tweaked. Let me know how they look.

Scroll all the way down, left.


Which also passes as my answer to the question in the preceding post, sorry.

Well you read my mind about the static background image. Just need buttons now.

 

[Kazuga]

I love it! :thup:

 

[tom_mai78101]

Much better. I watch Home Improvement just for this.

Now, wondering if a black background is healthier than a white background in a very dim room...

 

[13lade619]

awesome!

now we need some buttons.

I have to change the theme back to normal everytime I log on, is there a way to save the normal theme as default for this forum?

It's already saved to the cookie. I don't have any problems with the themes.

I don't like the Thehelper.net banner. The real monitor looks out of place, and is just floating around. The text itself looks unprofessional. Also, would it be possible to give the individual posts some sort of border so that it doesn't go straight into the background image?

Other than that though (besides the obvious fact that we need buttons), I like it. I'll still use the default one though, as I like the simplicity. But this one's cool.

(Trouble with dark themes is that my avatar looks silly, and my signature becomes almost unreadable)

The ads on the left look out of place.
