New forum skin (temporary beta)!

[Infinite Angel]

Actually, I feel more comfortable with the Old Theme (RPG Maker Theme Version 1). Could it be worked out that even though there will be a new forum skin, that access to old skin will still be available as one of the "forum theme options"?  I think the "black background" already works fine as it is. 

I hope the "new forum skin" would not mean "no access to old skin". I think it should be on the line of an "additional recommended option".

There will be darker borders added where the black was. Since it's the same exact theme (other than the new header and footer, and a couple bugs to squish) this should make everyone complaining about the new theme happy.

Thanks for the quick response.  

Well, I guess I (or we) just have to wait and see.

I hope the new forum skin does well - both in function and style.

Liking the new theme!!! Just wish you guys would use the three squares icon(In the RPG Maker Logo at the top of the forum and web page) for the favicon also. This place needs it own unique favicon.

edit-Also the new font takes a little getting used too.

The original black background image was re-added for now to help those that had eye strain before.. More to come.

^My worst nightmare. I adblocked it before, and had to do it again. Pure whiteness is the best for me

I really liked the all-white stuff, haha.

I like the new logo, and despite what everyone says about the colors, I like the white on black idea, has everything stands out better.

Theme was updated.. Fonts are all returned to how they were in the old version.. It's just about literally the same theme as the old version except the new header and footer, and the background color changed to match them. Thoughts?

When I try to adblock the background it takes away the forum content too. I miss the gritty gray and black lines.

One little theme "bug" (if you could call it that) I'd like to point out, though isn't really much of a big deal would have to be that the footer link's hover color isn't consistent with the main site. Other than that, I am really liking the new theme.

Edit: I just found one other little nitpick I have with the new theme. All the textboxes in the Profile Settings page appears to have a set width. It looks a bit odd when you're setting up your birthdate.

Edit 2: Another nitpick I have with the theme has to do with the Notification Preferences page. The checkboxes below the title of each section appear slightly outside of the boxes they're in and in some cases, hovering over the menu on the left. The title of each section within the green boxes have a larger font size compared to the title of the page.

I like it and all, but I can definitely point out some bugs..!

 

[Nathanial]

So do so

 

[djDarkX]

I've got one: The background is dark. LOL

No, but seriously, I think I'll find a CSS editor for Firefox and change that back for myself.

I tried sending a PM but it's squished like this. 

Hyperlinking is a bit weird as well

You should be good to go.

One thing I noticed, the search function has technically two boxes, the one that's a little rounded (so it sticks out the bottom) that you can click on to use, and the on on top that's just a rectangle, but you can't click on it once you're outside of the bottom box. Text put in will also get cut off.

Because I feel like that explanation was just utter crap, here's a screenshot:

I second this suggestion. But other than that, the new design is absolutely awesome!

I don't like the underlined dates.  It really bugs me for some reason, and I cannot understand why.
