Nice Yen ! Allready looking much better. Now after some getting used to roaming the forum through the new interface, it's gonna be allright.
Thanks......I have to disable the style selection from time to time to complete it. Btw: New smilies added!! Thanks to crypto!!
Could the default untouched theme not be left as an option? This new theme I'm not sure I like so much now with it's jumbo font and stretched graphics. Setting a default theme can be done via the user profile settings (normally) but since you now only have the one theme theres nothing that can be done.
If you tell me where exactly the font is too big, I'll adjust it. The font at the posts (here) is only one size bigger than default....and posts are the most read....unfortunately the font adjustment is still not that selective.....ancestor(v) and me have decided to let only one style run to represent MDL.....of course suggestions are welcome.... PS: I have tried smaller fonts, the default fonts are responsible for the bad oversight of the forum, I have tested that a lot... IMHO you find special threads faster by using bigger fonts.....it takes some time to get familiar with the bigger fonts, because the original fonts are very small.
It just seems like most of the font, even what im typing with in the editor seems 1 or 2 sizes too large when compared with the default web standards (google results and links being a fine example). The new bubble images and stretched "MDL" ain't my personal style of choice, I prefer solids or gradients This is why I asked could the default VB4 theme remain at MDL as an option, even though it would no longer be the default.
Of course, you may select the vbulletin original again.....I'm trying to make everybody happy here ...a design made great for everybody is not possible. Thanks for your opinion. Maybe playing with fonts again later that week........ Edit: I have made some fonts smaller now.
The green reply button combined with the pagination icon colour and the border of the thread pop down menus (search) has been designed as a homage to the good old win xp start button.. @crypto That underlining was a very good idea.....now everything looks much better..thanks for this great idea!
Yen, great job in trying to please everyone. The forums look really good. And a big thanks to all those individuals who have supported Yen in improving this already exceptional site.
Thanks to all who like the new design..it's not easy to make it nice for everybody..I have my personal taste (green reply button )...... I'll stop to redesign the skins for now...I have read a lot at vbulletin forums and the professionals suggest not to change the templates and css for now, because at coming updates they could revert the changes (hardcoded). That's the reason why there are no professional skins available. All have to wait to avoid double work...the vbulletin developers have released the gold version too early.....bad work..... It was a lot of fun anyway I have learned a lot regarding skinning...will continue my work later on.... Enjoy....basically I'm familiar with biosmodding....to skin the forum was a nice alternative...
