Title: New Themes?
Post by: General Fault on November 05, 2014, 11:06:48 pm

I recommended a couple new themes would be a good idea around here. The default is ok, but has some color choices that truly hurt my eyes (blue moderator names especially). The alternatives are shit. I picked out a couple simpler ones. Take a look and comment.

Dark Colored:

Light Colored:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2746 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2746)

If these work with the current setup, can we get them implemented? What's everybody else's thoughts on this? Like the themes? Got any better suggestions? Think it'd be helpful? Think I'm just stirring up trouble?

That dark wood texture is cliched as fuck and the super gradients everywhere one is a total eyesore (and looks like something from 5 years ago). I'm down for new themes but I'm not a fan of either in OP

Not a huge fan of either of those tbh. Second is better than first though

Of the two, I like the second one better.

The darker one was better.  Neither seemed better than the white/blue we have now though.

The site I was given by Arnox didn't have a lot of choices. Take a look here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=search;version=80 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=search;version=80) and see if there's any others you'd recommend. I'd personally like a very clean black theme. Also, a clean light theme would be good. Not a bunch of funky ass colors.

Yeah, I can get rid of that pretty easily. Also any theme logos scattered around anywhere I can get rid of as well. So make sure to keep that in mind when looking for a theme.

In the OP i liked the second one better.  I also think the first one, black, is cliched/over used

Would be a simple matter to dump the background pic. But a clean, simple black theme would be better than this blue/green funky shit with the blue mod names I can't read.
