New Theme: Testers Needed
« on: July 25, 2010, 10:33:18 PM »
We have finally gotten around to making a better theme for the forum, appropriately named "Taijitu", and we would like some testers to use it for a bit and report back on how it works and looks before we make it the default theme. Volunteers?

So, how has the theme been working so far? Anything explode or just look plain terrible?

It works.  I like the purplish cast all the colors have.  Thematic unity with ample contrast.

It kinda clashes with the Senator, Minister, Delegate, etc. tags' colors though.

Could you provide a screenshot of just what you mean?

It's not a problem or anything.  It's just that the bright tags don't really appeal to me when set against the dark purple and white.  It makes sense since they were designed for the old theme and go with it.

The theme is nice and works, but is it possible to have a dark variation?
