Re: New logo and theme for Graphic Archive Reply #3 – November 10, 2008, 04:28:27 pm Oh, fie! So many themes... I feel cheated. Why isn't there just one? It would make things so much easier!I suggest we select one theme, add it, remove all other themes, change it to our liking (images, toolbar with subdomain links) and… done. Criteria for selection: highly readable (good contrast), preferably blueish colors to fit forum look, not too image heavy (bandwidth). Quote Selected Last Edit: November 10, 2008, 04:30:46 pm by VS

Re: New logo and theme for Graphic Archive Reply #6 – November 10, 2008, 05:16:37 pm Rather usehttp://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/and go through the themes (there is a choose gadget in top left corner)Personally I liked these:Dm Bluerapsody (needs replacing header background and these "pillars")K2 (probably too simple)Kubrick (that's borderline - the huge text is really ugly.)MorpheusX Blue (image heavy)PlusXL 2.0 (favorite!)SMF 1-1 rc2 (lol, and small thumbnails are harder to hit with mouse)I have to say that on the whole I am rather disappointed, maybe editing the default theme is a better option after all.

Re: New logo and theme for Graphic Archive Reply #7 – November 11, 2008, 08:58:45 am My candidates:-Blix: this would work really well. Simple, clear and it just need to replace green areas by blue ones-digital purple: good layout with a big header with a lot of design posibilities.-project vii: simple with good menus-fotogallery: large header and cool drop shadow effects-Rin: one of my favorites. Really simple, big headers, readable and seems easy to modify.-radio xxl: 3d menus with shiny metal effect. Perhaps too much futuristic.All themes have a CSS or similar, so you can modify styles, layouts and images easily. Quote Selected

Re: New logo and theme for Graphic Archive Reply #12 – November 17, 2008, 04:01:41 pm I can add more blue on headers, and perhaps use the same background color as the forum skin...P.S: I'm a bit color-blind, too.. Quote Selected
Re: New logo and theme for Graphic Archive Reply #13 – November 17, 2008, 07:27:09 pm That looks really good! I didn't expect to get a whole theme (sorry, I was away for a few days since 17th is national holiday and… 3 free days… ) Quote Selected
