Title: New Theme: Testers Needed
Post by: Gulliver on July 25, 2010, 10:33:18 PM

We have finally gotten around to making a better theme for the forum, appropriately named "Taijitu" (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php?action=theme;sa=pick;u=8;sesc=035e6b4584ba618f3df325ae800660d5), 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.

Ah, I understand now.

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

It seems very easy to basically invert the colours?

I agree with Kor's sentiment.

What in particular do you want dark?

Post by: kor on August 08, 2010, 04:12:59 AM

Basically what elu said. Invert the colors. Black background white text.

or not white.... white on black kills my head.

Any color text really so long as it can be viewed and not obnoxious. Like no yellow D:

Well I've gone ahead and set the current Taijitu them as the default. I will make an inverted one later when I have time.

Could you check the link to the wiki that appears in the banner?  I tried clicking it just now and it sent me back to the forum.
