Forum styles

Postby Mess » 14 Apr 2010, 11:30

I have been working on getting us a better design for a while.
I'm not there yet, but I have activated a few themes for you to test out. The header banners and logos are not all in place, but will be over the next week or two.
I can see how many has what styles as default and will base style development on that. For now Hermes HB will continue to be the default style.

Prosilver.
Prosilver is the "new" standard PhpBB style. phpBB are discontinuing support for the old standard theme Subsilver, from the next version, so I have been looking mainly at Prosilver based themes.
Prosilver is light blue, and has full width. But the biggest change for everyone will probably be that the avatar and profile informations are now displayed on the right, instead of the left. It takes a little getting used too, but I'm actually preferring it now.
All additions/moderations to this forum will be tested on this style first. As a side note, the Update Status feature only changes the actual status on the Prosilver style. Its still displayed on the other prosilver based styles though.

Hermes HB
Hermes HB is Subsilver based, and currently the Default HB-eu style. As support for subsilver based styles are being discontinued I'm looking at alternatives. I have also been having some styles challenges because of the way the style is coded so I'm not entirely unhappy about having to change default style. Hermes HB also has some errors in Crome and IE I haven't been able to rectify.

SE Pro
SE Pro is based on Prosilver, its Black and grey, and uses the same icons as Prosilver, only in a grey version. ( I still got a few custom icons I need to edit.) SE Pro has a kind of Vista feel. I'm working on a changing banner for this style.

SE Square
SE Square is based on Prosilver, its blue with square corners and fixed width. SE Square uses the same icons as Prosilver.

I got 2 new themes in the works. One is an upgraded version of our old default forum style with the side graphics, unfortunately its subsilver based so I will only be adding it for those who want the old school feel. The other is light grey theme with a more professional feel to it.

Enjoy. :)

Btw you can change you're forum style in the UCP (User Control Panel), under Board setting.

Updated the header in SE Pro.
And added temporary headers in Prosilver and SE Square.

Cool, thanks dewd.


Edit:
WOW, I think I hit the motherload of Aion wallpapers when trying to find number 4 in greater resolution.

Added like 20 new headers and removed a few of the old. The last one you posted turned out really well, imo. :)
Its a shame other developers don't supply the same quality as Aion, almost everything from Aion looks awesome. :P

Let me know if anyone finds cool images for Warhammer, StarCraft or other relevant game.

I had to reset the forum styles for all users to the website default. Please visit the ImageUser Control Panel, on the top left to make sure everything is like you want it to be.

Sorry for any confusion.
