We can rearrange that.

I feel like I'm in a da Vinci portrait...

I prefer light to dark personally, & something that evokes the moon. This has the feel of the game "Jewel Quest".

I did a quick mod to this theme meant for a dungeons and dragon type board, but I was thinking that with a little work, redoing icons, some elements and the like, we could modify this into an Olias of Sunhillow meets Aural Moon kind of template. Again, it's something quick and dirty for you guys to get an idea of what this software can do. Just a little demo. Remember, you can always choose what template you want to use - so if you don't like one, or feel like a mood switch just use that menu down below. But I think we'll offer several that eople like.

BTW, I wanted to verify that you guys were seeing that Quick Style Chooser drop down menu at the bottom there. Let me know if you're not seeing it.

I don't see it, but mebbe I'm not looking in the right place...

Oh, and incidentally, I'm liking this Olias skin. It woiks, mate!

I think it would be fun if we had several themes - an Olias theme with Olias artwork - it would be a dark theme. Maybe a Genesis theme, a King Crimson theme, etc. And you could pick your favorite. Post your ideas here!

There has GOT to be an Astronomical theme. Stars, nebulae, maybe a black hole or something.

Relativity, black hole grids, that sort of thing.

Roger -Dot- Lee, astrogeek and damn proud of it!

I like the lighter colors better. My 2 cents.

**Avian**(Admin) · #10 10-07-2005, 08:23 AM

Everyone should now see the QUick Style Chooser drop down menu in the lower left of the screen. Enjoy!

Avian, how about, just for the time being, you put a light and dark forum link on the main page. They let everyone see/experience both.

I like the color scheme in the thread blocks themselves. If the outside frame could be toned down from pure white ( a gray or steel blue) it might be easier on the eyes.

I don't think I can do that. It might take some research or even a hack. vbulletin has a default style for all users, and any style changes are saved in each user's profile. I'm not sure if I can override that with a parameter, but I'll look into that. If you can find anything in the vbulletin docs, let me know.

I like the bright colors.........It is easier to read. It's the same color scheme as my MSN........

M$N...That's all the impetus I need to want to see it changed.

**Avian**(Admin) · #15 10-07-2005, 10:05 AM

I'm going to switch the default back to the old Moon colors. If this switches things for you, you can always just choose your favorite in that menu below, and it will stick. SOme like it light, some like dark. Have it your way!

Loving this Olias theme page. Nice one Avian.

Although the text telling "New posts", "Sticky thread" etc. is too light to be easily read.

Yup - still working on the whole thing.

Somewhere in the middle would be nice..I prefer the dark, but this white when i post is too bright...however it shakes out..

Hey when is this thread going to turn into a King's X thread?

The new website will probably have the same kind of options - a light skin and a dark skin.
