TEST Theme Feedback, Suggestions and Improvements

edited June 2012 in Help and Suggestions
Following BK's hard work, we've finally got ourselves a new theme in place on the forum. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "TEST" to check it out, and come back to this thread to give us some feedback and suggestions. After all, we want to make sure it's perfect. As it stands, the base colors are in place and looking pretty sick - I personally love the blues and Totseans.com seems to have adopted it as it's primary color :D I still feel like we need to perfect it though, adding some finishing touches and stuff to really claim it as our own theme and show off our own image.

Anyway, feedback!

    I think it looks pretty damned awesome, BUT I don't feel it's totally finished. Just need to add a few things to really make the theme it's own thing, not just a template that's been edited. Maybe every totsean should make a picture in MS paint and we can add it in somehow? :D

    Played around a bit. I am loving the colors, so far, I am using black and Totseans blue. And yes, white is there as well.

    I changed the doc background to black. As it's more energy friendly. Plus, it's empty space and yes we can go with more and more white but like I said, I am just testing different combinations.

    Should the logo be positioned in the center or something... on a second thought I will let it idle there.

    Logo should definitely stay where it is. I like the black background, but I really don't like the black bar at the top (whats new, etc). Please make that a different color!

    Well, the line was added to give it some sort of design value but yeah, I can go with the simple color approach or I can try to find another color that might work.

    Wait for me. Today was a good day for Totseans.

    Go check the CMS as well.

    I think the test theme looks awesome as it is. It is bright, clean, easy to read, and blue.

    I think there's a problem with the permissions or something, I tried accessing the TEST theme earlier when I wasn't logged in and it didn't appear. DFG, check the permissions on it - I'm in a rush, but if you still haven't checked when I next get back to the PC then I'll sort it out.

    EDIT: Wait, I just checked and even when not logged in, I can still use the theme. It's taken on a new name, "Totseans" instead of TEST. Everyone should be able to see it now.

    Yeah, I changed the name and made it the default. Clear your cache and you will see it. If not then select from the drop down menu.

    Still not done yet. Waiting for some inspirational ideas.

    Thinking about adding tits in the banner. Or just have some girls on a pole. Can't decide.

    totseans.com/bbs currently directs to the standard forum lauyout (not the activitiy stream).

    I think this is a bad idea, it should take us to the activities stream. There is no point in installing it and thn hiding it. I think it adds a touch of modernity to the site.

    It also make the place look more active then it really is.

    I gotta agree with ya there bro.
    It won't replicate us for what we were but will identify us for who we are.
    Shits fresh.

    Nice job Dfg...:cool:

    I don't really like this idea. It means that you can't view the forum home page, so you can't see all the sections in the forum... Now how am I meant to flick through the boards reading things, see who's online, or easily choose where to post a new thread? I don't really think it's a good idea.

    Slarti has a point to be honest but not many are used to it. We can do split testing as well.
