Title: How about some new themes?
Post by: Pop Bumper Pete on December 29, 2009, 08:14:06 AM
Hey Admins
As much as Black and Grey are ever so sexy, there are times I find this board hard to read
How about some new themes/ color schemes for the forum layout?  ^^^

Try this ;

Go into your profile, click "look and layout preferences" and you should see a "change theme" button in the top LHS.

It is not there

I use another forum that uses the SMF software, I can find the setting on that forum, it is not an option that even appears on this board

I dare say that you have set it up so that Admin can change themes, but all other user catagories cannot

You could be right there. I'll have Tony have a look at it - Might need something changed that I'm not familiar with.

The forum has been setup to have 1 theme only. It cannot be changed except by the admins. In the last few weeks I have started to have a look at alternative themes for the very reason Pinky specified.

Stay tuned...

Gee whizz, there are even darker ones than what AP is using !*!

This may not have been the best idea, it seems that some themes cease to work when you upgrade the forum software

It is a bit easily on the eye I think. Creech will probably announce some of the other benefits later.

Hmm, still needs work in my opinion, but not too bad. I think I preferred the other format as it filled the screen (or at least more of it).

I don't mind arcade games, anyway isn't that what this site is all about? Hence the site title "The Aussie Pinball Arcade''

the blue with white background , along with the black dots looks good.  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

Yes, much prefer the full screen format, and the text is easier to read again as of right now.

Creech is trying a few different screen themes, so bear with us while we explore the different options. Keep the feedback coming and we understand we cannot please everyone - but we want to add more cool features as we progress.
Title: Re: How about some new themes?

The option to choose your own theme seems to work pretty well. Using dark theme dark blue for now.

It's great that you can select your own now. ^^^
Title: Re: How about some new themes?
Post by: Strangeways on November 25, 2010, 10:08:05 PM

I would be interested to know what color schemes are being selected.

If members are happy to select their own, then "happy days" - as long as all the features, mods etc work - then that's a real bonus.

I have added a "Theme Changer" feature which allows you to chnage your theme without going to your profile. Scroll down to the bottom of your screen and on the far right you will see a drop-down box where you can select your favourite theme.
