New theme for the forums maybe ?

Postby EvilAntivirus » Thu Apr 16, 2009 6:56 am

I'm kinda curiouse about if Matt could make a new theme for the forum? Maybe some darker color. Not sure if a lot of people will agree but it would be nice.

No make it more neutral. That dosn't scare the average PC user away. A dark theme is "geeky" and the average PC user will visit another place.
New virus? PM me.

I often don't understand why people want to "pretty" things up when the "classic" versions are often the best and the lowest on resources.

In phpBB themes make very little, if any impact on the resouces of the server or the client. It's mods that impact heavily, such as ads, extra features, etc.

phpBB also allows the admin to install a set of themes and users can choose the one they like/want to use.

yea what he said ^^^ ive used phpbb before (on many occasions) and the themes arent really all that hard to come by or "resource expensive" I just think maybe a nice light blue (similair to the homepage) with a glass-like effect (ie clear reflective and simple) it would look nicer. Of course you could have the option of the `classic` theme in your profile if you would like. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

My apologies. I realise the topic was about forum themes. However, I meant more things like desktops. I was out of place.
