He asked for the original vbulletin style 3 we have had before to install at v4......like some other sites???? Where? All previous styles are NOT compatible to v4!!! Let me add a few words: When I've seen the style the first time I've said..uhmmm...not nice, but the old style wasn't attractive as well..... I personally don't like the new style. But....what I don't like is the 'go backwards' attitude! Sure, at first sight it would be good to switch back to the old style.. We have decided to upgrade to v4 and now we have to cope with it, that's all! I'm ready to try to tweak the style when I have got spare time....the time itself goes forwards, not backwards! The vBulletin team did a weak work, shame on it! They have released a buggy version 4.0 too early and that is more than sadly...they have fixed more than 200 bugs at the first update after the gold release!!!! There is nothing more to add!!! They are proud of that but I say buuhhh!!! I have to encounter bugs and it took only a few hours...I'm asking how can a company release such a crap..... If Andyp would have released his Phoenix mod tool being in the same state..everybody would have complained about....but the team was too good therefore... I'm ready to have a look about....at the moment I'm very busy, but I promise to give my best........ As I've said already: There's no accounting for taste. I'm sure that about the new design we will make there will be complaints as well.....I know that I (we) cannot satisfy everybody...and that's not my goal.......finally if you don't like the style ask yourself what do you want???? MDL provides great info and our community has got nice and great members...that's what counts.....think about before you complain about a style....... If you are a designer, feel free to PM me.....I''ll give you the rights to design a good style at once....to complain is easy..to make it better takes great effort, never forget that!!! IMHO smilies are ugly stickies are not separated enough forum colours are too bright..... buggy as hell Help us and make suggestions, if you don't like something......provide a new style... ......to say: ugly I want the old one....the new style sucks........ doesn't make any progress and rapes me any motivation.....
I'm trying to get the colours darker......no chance so far....I'm NOT able to find the corresponding var.....OMG Vbulletin!!!
You can see my attempts in colouring when you switch over to MDL style at the bottom left corner to chose....... Please keep in mind that I'm changing the colours quickly to check it out..... Feel free to add a comment....your chance to participate in colouring.... anyway I couldn't manage to get the posts background darker...still trying....will remain it for today.more work to do tomorrow... Edit: If you cannot change it to the MDL style I have temporarily locked the feature to avoid confusion....
MDL style doesn't look so bad, definitely better on the eyes. The light baby blue in some area's of the forum doesn't fit well at all though, especially on the page buttons (and in the replies/views of thread lists)! Could the emotions be changed to the ones suggested by crypto on page 4? These newer ones lack style and well, emotion range...
No problem, I know at the moment its #ebffeb though. It just seems too different with everything else being a darker green or grey/blue Maybe others have a different opinion but then again how many people know about web development and colour schemes...
Yen, I know you are just trying some stuff out, and you're doing a great job. I know the end result will be very nice. But the fluoressant green in the sticky's make my eyes hurt. I take it it's only temporarily ?
The other themes gone now? I actually liked the one you had on here last night Yen, it seemed to fit the site and was allot nicer. It highlighted sticky posts in the way the default theme doesn't too, this being one of the main issues I have with the new VB4 -- I don't like how it's merged everything into one big looking group.
I have disabled it temporarily to avoid replies, because I have tried changes in a row very quickly.....of course the style is saved. (The one that ran last night. I had to sleep one night about, because I drove mad when I was changing 5 hours colour by colour, even when I have tried to sleep the colours went through my mind...lol).....I have to say I really like it, too.....the main tweaks are almost completed...what I want to do is to tweak the colours that are more hidden like menu colours and messaging.....after ancestor(v) has approved the style, I'll make it to default and the original will not be selectable for the members anymore. And I won't do any further changes then. This style will represent MDL's character.....I hope I can switch over to it at Sunday...... Edit: I'll make it selectable again later this night.....
I like the new style. As a little drum I've had a friend that was painted in the same way the forum now is. Remembers me of him. Good old mauser drum. Wonder what he's doing today...
