Update! Thanks to some help from paperclip we have already revived the style chooser! If you haven't seen it yet, its at the top left of the site.
It can be seen at the top left and I've added 5 default colors. I do plan to make more changes too, right now it just changes the "thead" and header. What other changes do you guys suggest?
Also will plan to limit the colors down from 5 to the current 3. Just put the pink up for fun and for the girls haha. Also as you can see im just testing all the different backgrounds for fun.
So let me know what are your favourite colors or new colors to introduce and will give it a go.
Was thinking of getting some fresh colors for the site. Do you guys think its necessary and if so which colors would be good? Here are two potential ones. Feel free to submit your own!
yes! new colours!!
even better if background can change, but that would mean all other colours changing by default according to the theme, along with the ability for users to toggle between themes so that we can "customize" according to our tastes. then again, because this site has user generated content together with bbcodes, i doubt that's possible. i'm just fantasizing. >.<
back on topic, both looks good. but i'm leaning towards silver.
Idk maybe just have a wide variety of range that people could customise to? Try the bnet colours maybe. Theres probably people out there that have an affinity for the light pink (I know I have mine for Teal )
Dark blue would be great as i roam around the site at midnight and white is way to bright especially when all the lights are off and i like to snuggle up
Im happy with anything that is easy to read, I would rather not grey. Wait I have my typical internet person impersonation CHANGE!!!! NOOOOO!!!! OK now I have that out of my system. The ability to have a default and a changeable option sounds really cool. If its possible at all.
I agree with a few of the above posts (Cyanide - Backgrounds) etc. Dark Blue looking too much like another popular SC2 site, which of course looks awsome but we need our own identity.
I would put some slightly darker shades in the backgrounds and darken up the headers. Doesnt have to be black (and yes black does work imo) but this is an example of what i mean... took all of 2 mins in Photoshop so dont go hating on the quality but it shows what I mean. Obviously you would need to lighten up the fonts in the black headers etc.
EDIT: Fixed up the headers and other minor improvements................
Oooh. Black looks pretty good. Out of those two that you showed, the blue one looks better imo. But the ultimate colour would be.. PURPLE. But a dark purple. :P
I like the black. or any darker colours. A customisable option would be the best, even if it was only 3 or so different options. but i got no idea how hard that would be to implement at all.
I strongly approve of skin options. A default one (whichever nirvana and the admins like most) and 2 or 3 alternatives. You can't please everyone... But you can get damn close.
I'm still ok with one option only however... Implementing "options" is a bit of work after all. If this is the case I'm currently supporting the black theme cause it's easier on the eyes.
