[Darkdrium777]

I see KIGO read this thread.

Noticed the "Digg", "Stumbleupon" etc stuff at the bottom of threads, do you think it's necessary?

[infoxicated]

KIGO has to get the **** over the existence of Microsoft Windows.

And you have to ask yourself whether that question was necessary.

[Darkdrium777]

Well, it's been added since this update, no? I personally don't see it as very useful, that's why I am asking if you want to keep it or not.

Anyways...

[infoxicated]

Ah, right. It was added by me, not the update - it's just an option you can turn on.

If it helps the site get more traffic then that's a good thing. If the site gets more traffic, the adverts get seen more and then, one day, it might make enough money to be self supporting.

Should that not be the case I'll disable it again.

[Darkdrium777]

I see you are making a new skin.
Black invasion!

[infoxicated]

Just messing around before bed time, actually.

The things I do for kicks.

[Darkdrium777]

Will this continue? It looks pretty sweet.

[infoxicated]

Will I continue to mess around?

Most probably.

[Sausehuhn]

eheheh.
If you need someone who creates some icon-replacements, just put your hand up

[infoxicated]

Erm... I dunno.

I'm not convinced, myself. Probably needs more work than the short time I've spent on it tonight.

Think I'll sleep on it and revert it if it's too jarring in the morning. It sorta reminds me of when I moved the yellow W3PA board over to WipEoutZone colours and it took weeks to get used to. Or when we moved from phpBB to vBulletin - that was really quite a sudden change and it took a good while to get comfortable with it.

[Darkdrium777]

Well, blue/black doesn't go together, yes.
Perhaps you can make two skins? One blue, one black.
And others, like cyan, pink, white (so we don't see anything at all)... Ok maybe not that last part.

[djKyoto]

Should make the BG black, white text with Red bars.

Fury Style.

[Sausehuhn]

I raise my hand for a theme update so it fits the mainsite.

Black bars with the blue font for the forum bars and white or yellow type for the other bars; the cut-corner-graphic aligned to the right for the forum bars.
Forums not in the link-color but in the one used for headlines on the mainsite. The forum details in the color used for the date (bright blue).
Other text elements: plain black. Backgrounds white, borders light gray.
Buttons in black and yellow for highlights (such as "new post" in yellow compared to "no new posts" in white); simple 2D pixelgraphics should do the job and fit to the style.

Yep. That's it

[KIGO1987]

I thought the replacement LCD the HP guys put into yesterday was another dude. Only got mono colour. But this was a forum upgrade, thank ****.

[Lance]

Ooh.

It was that size by accident from when the banner was bigger.

Should be fixed, now. //new smiley alert!

Cool. I've always had the same problem as Max. Currently it only blocks one line so that I can't put a cursor on it.

[AG-wolf]

Good sweet christ the new color scheme burns my eyes.

edit: lol there's a caps filter

[Hemicrania]

I love this new scheme m8. It fits the header.

[djKyoto]

I don't. It's too strong on my eyes. The bars just stand out too much.

[eLhabib]

+1
while I like black, this definitely hurts the eye - too much contrast. How about a heavy yellow instead?

[stinkleroy]

Yeah I'm not too keen on the black either
