I've asked Matt to put some dark skins in, he doesn't seem to like them...nor does he like putting them in for that matter and only his account seems to be able to. I'll keep pestering though.
I tried expanding the size but doing so really screwed up the quote tags and lines above the signatures. I'll see if there's a way around that. |

Ok, I have a new favourite theme. (Though the red around the sub-sections seems out of place but otherwise I like it) Edited by jetsniper, Aug 22 2011, 05:27 PM.

Interesting...I don't even see any red in the dark theme other than in the banner. |

Ok, upon further review, I don't like Chrome. Quoted messages are white text on a white background basically meaning the whole thing is invisible. It's easy enough to highlight the text to read it but also kind of annoying to do. I kinda see what Fanpuck means too, the white background of the other two themes isn't bad during the day but right now it's blinding. |

This is why I don't like change, haha. The old forum looked fine. Newer so often is not better. I hope HF keeps their older looking board, it's nice and functional. |

Not quite, but it's getting there. Interestingly enough, I don't have that red spot as posted in the screenshot, can't find anything as to why it might be doing that too. I know there's one other dark-ish skin we'd like to add but so far we've been unable to remove part of the header that comes with the skin (that we could replace with our own new one).As for why the updates were done, it was more for the upgraded security features, not so much the new esthetics it presents. |

We've added one more colour scheme, a grey on grey one that gets rid of the white without hurting any readability issues. Also, I've found a way to make the avatars a little bigger without causing mis-alignment of other things which was the concern before. Hopefully this will be a step in the right direction. |

Thanks for all the feedback on this. Seriously though, I've put a post up with some of the stuff I think would be useful on the HW boards. Have a peek at it and let me know what you think should be added. |

So I asked our graphic designer to have a go at it (he's the one that re-did the forum banner, the site banner, the Twitter background, etc). He came up with the following: ![]() Basically, it's a hybrid of the other banner that you can see quoted above since the red colour scheme matches the site's shift to more of a red look while the HWL part is from the team avatars from a while back. I told him I'd send it to the league for feedback, please provide comments, suggestions, etc as soon as possible. |
