new colors?

**87AccordsterLx** · 05-15-2003, 07:25 PM

Cool looking colors... are we getting more color schemes?

**87accordlxi** · 05-15-2003, 07:42 PM

im just working on some different themes

**87AccordsterLx** · 05-15-2003, 07:45 PM

looks good... the orange on the main thread list is somewhat bright but the rest is very visually pleasing.

edit*

I see that you changed the orange... looking good man.

**87accordlxi** · 05-15-2003, 07:48 PM

how's the lighter orange? this is my inspiration for the colors...

**87AccordsterLx** · 05-15-2003, 07:49 PM

the lighter orange fits much better...

BTW, What car is that? Is that a volvo?

**87accordlxi** · 05-15-2003, 07:56 PM

yeah its a volvo S60R

i dunno, i really like that combination of colors, but i cant seem to put the orange in there without it being distracting

**87accordlxi** · 05-15-2003, 08:45 PM

OK, everyone should now have two more color themes available to them.

"Contemporary" has the same colors as the volvo picture.

"Modern" has the exact same colors, except imagine the interior with grey leather.

The modern is much 'cooler' and flows better IMO

**87accordlxi** · 05-15-2003, 08:58 PM

yeah i'm really diggin the Modern myself

who knows, some people may like the contemporary

now all we need to do is get the buttons to match, that is my job to work on..

**blazin3gen** · 05-15-2003, 09:13 PM

yea great job guys i love the look

**87accordlxi** · 05-16-2003, 12:20 PM

ok i redesigned the Default theme (renamed "Refined"). marc wanted to keep a theme with a white background for those who wouldnt like the dark grey/blue that's used in Modern and Contemporary. it's hard to blend together whites, greys, and black with color without that color being sorta light or even a pastel. if i were to use a darker color, i think it would look too distracting.

so now there's three themes available to everyone: Modern, Contemporary, and Refined. go into your user CP and click edit options, and the option to change themes is towards the bottom.

i also changed the tan color in Contemporary to be less drastic compared to the colors around it. and now i'm working on a new black theme

I like it. Get some nice buttons now!

**MrBen** · 05-16-2003, 02:40 PM

I like the midnight theme but the white wording on the grey background is almost blinding. We need it to be black, or blue.

**MrBen** · 05-16-2003, 02:44 PM

There we go.

**87AccordsterLx** · 05-16-2003, 02:48 PM

the test on the dark gray background needs to be a tad bit lighter... not to much but just a little... for ex. the:

3geez > General > General > 3geez News & Site Feedback > new colors?

this part of the text is pretty dark... its looking great though!!!

**MrBen** · 05-16-2003, 02:51 PM

NO, change the dark grey back. Now you can barely read the light blue writing.

**87accordlxi** · 05-16-2003, 02:55 PM

im working with the blue link color so it's more visible with the grey background and black background up top

Awesome!!! Looks good so far...

**87accordlxi** · 05-16-2003, 02:58 PM

hows the blue look now?

**MrBen** · 05-16-2003, 02:59 PM

Looks great.

I am really disliking the dark grey background though.

**87AccordsterLx** · 05-16-2003, 03:02 PM

Joe which style set are you working on? Im using modern right now and it look good.

Ghetto, which one are you using? I think the background on modern looks good. I can't stand bright things jumping out all over...

**MrBen** · 05-16-2003, 03:03 PM

Midnight.

**87accordlxi** · 05-16-2003, 03:03 PM

ok everything should be visible with the grey now. i changed the timestamps to white. any text on the grey is now either blue or white

im working on Midnight

**MrBen** · 05-16-2003, 03:05 PM

Ok I am looking at modern now, and I like it more than midnight. However the drab-looking links at the top arent that noticeable... perhaps brighten them slightly?
