Anyone up for a new template?

Post by blackrose »

I'm considering changing the template for the forum, in other words the color scheme (a bit) and button stuff, but not the logo (at this time) or anything else.

Anyone up for offering an opinion on which of these he/she likes better?

http://www.phpbbhacks.com/templatesdemo/index.php?s=41 --> Jasidog frames. It's a lighter color, reminds me of crystal or ice...

http://www.phpbbhacks.com/templatesdemo/index.php?s=87 --> Still the dark colors, minus the blue. I really like the buttons on this one. They stand out a lot more.

I have to modify the darn image map at the top with the FAQ, Search, etc. and I'm thinking it would be easier to just select a new template where I can add the buttons for the album, rules, portal, etc. It's easier to manufacture and upload a button than it is to modify that darn gif and then reslice the image and adjust the links. Besides, we're always up for a little change, right? :D

*ducks rotten fruit*

Thanks!

Love,
Rose

They both look nice, but the first one is definitely alot more brighter. But whatever you decide to go with is fine with me.

AT THIS TIME?!?!?!?!?!?!

*sigh*


Change whatever you want, but touch the logo, and the accursed grapefruit in a sock will be your ultimate undoing. *glares*


I actually like the second link. A lot, I might add. ^_^

The first seemded too cold for some reason. *glares at nothing in particular* Do we ALWAYS have to be reminded of how COLD Heero is?


Heero: Was.

MBF: My point EXACTLY!!!!!

Heero: Actually, I still tend to murder anything that doesn't please me, my friends, or Relena in the fullest.

MBF: *sweat-drops* You're not helping the situation.

Heero: You have invented a situation. There is no problem except inside your head.

MBF: *whacks Heero with her ULTIMATE weapon*

Heero: @_@

MBF: Rose, he said he liked the second one. ^_~




And there you have it.

They're both lovely, Rose.

Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love
This have I done for my true love!

This is a rather difficult choice Rose. I think the first link is rather nice. I love the silver and it makes it feel futuristic (a la GW...okay so that may have been cheesy).

However I like the dark colors of the second link. But I'm just into darker themed things in life including colors. I have to say I liked the first link's template for New Posts, No New Posts, and Forum is Locked. Easier to read or see. But I like the title design of the second link better.

It'd be nice of they could mesh the two together.

*holds on to her rotten fruit for future use* I agree, change wouldn't be so bad at all. ^_^

I don't know......
Both are interseting.....I like the second one better though......but the colours on them just don't seem as......what's the word.......rich as the original.
If I had to choose I'd say the second.But I'd rather not.....sorry.

Hmmm....

Tomato or grapefuit... tomato or grapefruit...

Um, I mean - gee, boss, new forum things - weeeeee! *innocent smile*

I kinda like the second one better. Perhaps it's the dark coloring, but to me it just seemed easier on the eyes.

Besides, it would be an eaiser adjustment.

We fear change. It frightens us. Party on, Wayne. Ack! Darn sister and her Wayne's World Marathon. Ya know, I'm surprised no one has referred to us as the Wayne and Garth of 1xR yet. Oh. Wait. I guess I just did.

Later, boss!

:eek: Rose as Wayne? Am I the only one slightly... disturbed... by that visual?

Now Stella as Garth I can see ;) *giggles*

*coughs* damn nightshift for my current state of boredom.

And while I'm here... I have to agree with the second template... not too much of a change and easier on the eyes :D

i prefer the black one, it just looks much better, but i don't mind the silver. They're both interesting in their own special way :lol: i'm just so used to the black.
