Title: Trying out a New Theme
Post by: BLUEVOODU on July 02, 2025, 09:02:29 PM
For the next 4-7 days... or unless it gets annoying.  It has light and dark features (top left by CHICKEN DINNER GAMING COMMUNITY). 

Please let me know what you think.  I DO notice the smiley set doesn't look totally right as you can see the white around the images.  I probably will revert to the procurve theme again until I find something "right."

Thoughts? Comments? Post it up!

UPDATE - added sidebar

Not bad, I think. Some of the headers and whatnot seem to dominate the space though. Like for example above where the Home/Search/Calendar/Members buttons are. They seem a little big.

@CreepinDeth --> Thank you for your feedback!  If you had to vote, would you vote to keep it for another week or revert to the old theme?   I'm looking for another theme as I'm not sure we will be able to return to the older theme unless it's updated... OR if I have the time to create something like it from scratch, OR create something newer from scratch

This theme is growing on me more for sure... I've been working with several items today.  I plan to keep moving forward on a few pieces.

I may play around with different colors as well as other features.

I actually do like it a little more than the previous theme. I think the previous theme, although decent, felt a little outdated.

yeah... this one is growing me.   The last one was the standard SMF theme.  It was a little outdated... however works well.   Unless you mean the last theme that we were using before the issues hit.  That one did feel a bit outdated as well and had a few formatting issues.

I'd like to find one that's better than a little better though.  I am thinking we will start here and start to grow as this theme works 100% - no tertiary issues right now.
