forum theme?

[KILGORE]

is this light blue / dark blue theme all there is? i don't really like it and usually theres a few to choose from.

does this forum offer that?

[Primathon]

That is the number one thing I would like to upgrade on this forum. There's a few things holding that process up, however, so it'll (unfortunately) have to wait a bit :(

[Uriel]

I quite like it, its high contrast and I can read it on my 50in hdtv whilst working.

[Bo Diddles]

I'm with Uriel, I don't see what's not to like.

[ornametalsmith]

I'm with Uriel, I don't see what's not to like.

Ditto Diddles :D

me likey

[Pogo]

I've sold my soul to the blue screen. don't change it.

^^^^^But the top melting pot banner could be one more pixel to the right.... that bugs the hell outta me. (I'm not fuckin' around here either, on the for real, 1 pixel.)

Then give me the grafx badge (Ok I'm fuckin around about that, but for real, 1 pixel.)

[KILGORE]

im not saying change it, i'm saying add another theme so we have the option to change it if we want to.

[KILGORE]

i can't explain what it is, or even give example colors i'd like to see

Not everyone is going to love the blue and white skin. It would be nice to have the classic vb skin back or something a little easier on the eyes. my2cents

As I understand it code would need to be written for each skin and that takes a good bit of time. I don't think it's a big enough problem to make extra work for anyone here. If it does ever become an easy fix I'm sure our beloved mods will make it so.

[ALIEN!]

haha, Pogo, thought I was the only one that thought that. 1 pixel! LOL

[KILGORE]

what's goin on with this one pixel thing?

[stackerson]

damn i never noticed the odd one pixel off banner. but, its there clear as day. kilgore, go to the top of the screen and look at the banner. if you dont see it, look harder.

[ras_eel]

[KILGORE]

lol yeah i saw that after i super zoomed on my iphone. didn't notice it at all on my computer. i guess because i use a high resolution so everything looks smaller?

[Pogo]

^No I think douchebags like me and Alien! are just finicky

*Tried to rep you, snake, for being as anal as me, but the system says your hole is too swollen.

[Pogo]

:imlost:

[faded]

i think they call them "skins".

[Primathon]

My god, you bunch of whiners :) You're worse than my clients! I fixed the damn header. YOU'RE WELCOME!

:D

[kage]

^ looks the same to me....:twitch:

[Primathon]

What browser/OS are you running?

[kage]

vista.... but i never saw what pogo was talking about in the first place. i stared at the banner for like 5 min and never noticed the 1 pixel thing at all. so its probably "fixed", i'm just still not seeing it. :)

[Pogo]

^It's like magic eye... you have to stare through the header.... :twitch:

j/k thanks for fixin' this, I can rest.

[Cornbread]

haha. this pixel thing is hilarious. it actually looks just the opposite now..but it doesn't bug me. it looks like the banner is sitting 1 pixel to the right when i ctrl +++ (zoom).

but i'm for skins. I know i'm just a noob on this forum, but i've honestly shyed away a bit because the blue/white is strenuous on my eyes. but zooming it seems to help for now. I plan on being more active here. such a wealth of knowledge here!

[Primathon]

Don't expect pixel-perfect rendering when you zoom the page -- your browser is doing a bunch of guesswork behind the scenes to make it look right, and it's not always correct ;)

[stackerson]

nope....not off anymore. thanks prima. lol i thinks its just aesthetics and the cleanliness of lines we all look for being glassblowers. haha
