New forum themes

[Et in Arcadia ego]

As mentioned, I'm interested in seeing what you guys can cook up, so I'll be accepting theme submissions here in this thread. I'm in the process of installing several themes right now, all of them darker, cause that's what I prefer, but you guys are free to check out the databases of 3.0.6 compatible themes and make requests:

The new themes I'm putting in will all be available in an hour or so.

I haven't a clue about how to cook up a theme but I also prefer something darker; sets the mood and it's easier to read, imo.

Ok, the first one I installed is ready to roll. Its called '1game', and so far is the only one I've personalized for the RI board. There are several others in there, but they have not been modified yet.

Check out 1game and tell me what you think. I'm using it right now.

I've had some concerns voiced about legibility with dark themes, so for the default I'm leaning towards this one right now:

I'm whipping up some banner art to tweak things.

You got it. I'll install it now. 1game has been tweaked further, now it has part of the old background. You didn't have a seamless tile on that, so I had to make a cut where I did. Still looks ok to me, tho.

I like that one Jeff, except perhaps the double light border lines between everything.

I have a request, is it possible to make the default url click be "target_blank"? Having links to external material open in another tab is incredibly helpful for me as then I don't lose my place in the thread I was reading.

Getaway has been installed and set as the default theme. I added the RI title in the upper lefthand corner, but the theme's construction doesn't permit much room for editing.

It'll work for now.

Lynn, phpBB changed how external links are handled. When you click a link in the forum, you will go directly to that link instead of having a new tab or window open. To get around this, simply click your link with the center mouse button and you'll have a new tab open up.

Hey thanks.

Jeff, have a look at the installed 'Aero Black'. This was my original choice for default theme. Its got a perfect blend of dark and light, with the text areas being a light aqua.

[Jeff]

Yeah, good choice.

[monster]

Some really nice themes there, thanks. My fave so far is the Getaway Darkblue. (Aero Black second choice.)

But yeah, since we can choose our own theme, it doesn't really matter as long as there is at least one choice that each person likes.

[Et in Arcadia ego]

Yeah, good choice.

If you want that for the default, lemme know. Also, if you want to change header/banner graphics with something like the old forum's, I can edit the size of the existing banners in most cases, so you are not constrained by the current size.

[Peregrine]

I'm really liking the CA Black. These options are great guys, thanks!

Divine Black has been modified with a favorite RI image of mine..

[Maddy]

I like this. Its easy on the eyes.

Is there a topic I missed with glitches that we find?
