Ehren Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Something new.. tried to go for something that isn't commonly done - dark content boxes on a light background. Small preview - but any thoughts? Forums with new posts are highlighted as blue to make new content stand out more effectively. 2 Send PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Not too keen on the reversal though I think a larger preview may do it more justice. I think part of the reason you don't see too many skins like that is because 90% of the time they don't work. Will await a further preview though before I make a final judgement.

nodle Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I like it Ehren. Plus it will be different. It will make it stand out more and not be like other skins. I like the color to make it stand out when there is a post in the forum. I think it's a good idea. I like the small orbs also. Overall I like it. But then again I like all your skins.

Ehren Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I was a little hesitant about providing the preview since the actual skin looks different when viewing the full design. Just didn't want to show the whole skin yet since it's not finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourliberty Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I like the concept of the light background with darker shading for the rest. Maybe a small touch of shadowing to give more of a popping out effect to the category boxes? Just a thought. Can't wait to see the progress though. Nice design overall.

Ehren Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 CSS was used to add drop shadows to the boxes, but it caused a bit of lag when scrolling. I'll keep it in the stylesheet in case anyone wants to enable it on their site. 1 Send PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehren Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Out on my iPhone at the moment but will post an update when I'm home . Coming along nicely with some cool new features! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehren Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Some new screenshots. User avatars are now shown as post icons instead of the regular bubbles (new post, no new post, hot topic, etc). If no new posts have been made, the avatar is reduced in opacity. They're also styled nicely with rounded corners and a faint drop shadow (both of which work in all browsers). Additionally, topics with new posts are also highlighted with blue text. There's also a "Quick navigation" jQuery menu at the top right of every page which lists the categories and forums on your site, as well as a "new" indicator if any new posts have been made.

nodle Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Oh man Ehren this one looks awesome! Love the color choice on it also. Love the avatar boxes I think it's a great idea. Can't wait for it's release. Looks like a day 1 purchase! Keep up the good work brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Buying it as soon as its released! I just hope it's compact skin something similar like neowin. The reason, I am looking for compact skin is because we have too many categories on our forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason, I am looking for compact skin is because we have too many categories on our forums. The forums on the homepage generally only take up two lines, so it's all very compact on the homepage.
