These board themes are shit

there aren't any - like even halfway decent SMF themes.

 

they all kind of suck.

 

but - I disagree "bland".  I think the problem with most of them is they're too "designy" like - people are all "alternating dark and light grey - NOW people will love me". 

 

I still am hoping to find a way to render a theme like the Proboards theme that's basically unobtrusive.

 

so - I agree the themes for SMF are all shit. 

 

but I disagree that "bland" is a bad thing.

 

I want the theme to be functional and easy to use.  Not - like some distracting thing in and of itself.

 

I want a theme that people don't notice, but still want to use because it's simple and does its job.

Using Facade because it's the less shitty of the themes

 

same with Facade. 

 

the only real reason we're using Dark Don as the default is that it's the only theme that all the features work on.

 

It's not an aesthetic thing.  It's a functionality thing.

Facade and Clean are two skins that I re-worked entirely. I personally have no issues with either of them and recommend you try those two out if the default isn't working for you.

well you know I've been working on the one

but I need to see it in action to see what needs tweaking

It's prolly really lame.

 

actually if it works it should mimic the theme from Proboards

however I need the code inserted into a theme to get the gist of it and see what needs tweaking

currently I have my own theme that I asked to be uploaded and it works wonderful granted it removes the like button from posts but everything else works

I have to use the default so I can see who logged in within 24 hours.

 

I feel lonely when I log in and just see the "users online" list without the extra bit at the end that tells who all has logged on today.

 

Wait.....

I can probably add that functionality to other skins....

Let me look.

Why the fuck did you just call me Vipey and how do you know that name?

 

I never used that on the ASMB

wat

 

 

in the cave I created a theme that should mimic the same colors from the Proboard site however since I did it via code it has to be inserted into a new theme from scratch and then has to be seen what can be changed and updated.

 

edit;

at the same time the theme can't be released so it can only be hidden and seen by the volunteers in order to find out any color coding problems

Did we always have the gender thing under our stats on posts? Just noticed that.

 

Removing that before people have a heart attack.

Call it what you like but that's really it. People actually call you that?

 

Yes lmfao.

 

Litearlly every single user from MAL should know that name.  :D :D :D

When I got IP banned from the asmb I began taking up residency there. To this day I have the most topics created on there  :D :D :D

interesting

well I can modify that code around "color wise"

and let you reupload it when I'm done ok?

 

Yes. If you wanna do that I can clone Facade and upload that css to the clone and it'll be your own customized css theme.
