Pure "custom.css" theme requiring no updates

[Ehren]

Hi everyone,

I've been considering the idea of releasing a few "pure custom.css themes" which have no HTML modifications. They would be minimal themes and wouldn't include any of the standard ipsfocus features such as a background picker, social icons, guest message, etc - however it means the theme would be compatible with every 4.x version of IPS.Suite since all of the modifications would be made within custom.css

The themes would be cheaper than standard ipsfocus themes and would be a one time payment rather than a subscription since updates won't be necessary. Before investing time though, I thought it would be best to gather thoughts first.   So.. thoughts?

I'd be interested, but it's really going to depend on how much cheaper. New IPS will still occasionally require some updates/edits to it as new features are added which will need styling or adjusting.

Very interested, would love something like this. Would make updating so easy. Sign me up!

I don't know! I like the full-featured and yet I like the un-full-featured. I'm not going to vote since I'm not sure at this stage. Doesn't help that I'm not full of knowledge on making cool things

I voted the way I feel, I like full-featured.  

However, there may well be a market for minimal themes.  I have seen ridiculously ugly minimal themes sell for what I consider ungodly amounts for the hideous nature of the themes.  However, this is you/IPSFocus we are talking about, which, in my opinion, releases only the best themes you can get.

So with that being said, I am confident that any minimal themes you create would be worth whatever you did charge.

Well said!

I saw this bumped and got excited, and thought it was released.

I would definitely be interested and still keep Uniform as well. I have a lot of users that want a skeleton theme for mobile, but sadly I have never seen one for 4.X.

Any updates on this?

[Ehren]

The theme is on my development board - it's just private at the moment. I still plan to release it at some point though

[Morlhach]

Can we see a preview?

[Ehren]

It'll be private for a little while longer Still not 100% satisfied with the design just yet.

I've been using my own custom pure .css theme, but would really like to get back on your themes. So looking forward to it @Ehren
