DZComposer Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 If you want to watch my progress or play with IPB 4 features, you can check out the SF-O DEV Site:http://dev.starfox-online.netThis also helps me out because it makes everything used and I can check how features work better as well as make better theme decisions.NOTE:- Please register using your same username as here on the main board. I have admin activation enabled there, and I will not approve accounts there that don't exist here.- The IPB4 default theme is set as default. The theme I am working with for my color choices is called "Test-1M." It is highly likely that the Test-1M theme is unreadable in some places. In such cases, switch back to the IPB Default.- Don't post anything there you care about saving. Posts there will not be transferred.- The site will probably get nuked multiple times, requiring you to re-register from time-to-time.- If you are a staff member, you will be given the same staff access you have here. (I will validate this, if you impersonate a staff member bad things will happen to you here)- All forum rules here apply there, with the exception that you can post random silliness anywhere.- Changes will be made without notice. If something is broke, feel free to report it on the dev site.- Please keep dev site bug reports on the dev site unless the bug prevents you from posting, in which case PM me here.- The SF-O dev site is a private site for testing new software before it is used on the main site. Your right to use the dev site is entirely up to my discretion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 The dev site is back up. You will need to reregister for it, but this should be the last time.Note that once the theme is developed, the dev site will be closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Please check the dev site regularly. It is the place to make feedback on the theme. Because of this, the IPB default theme has been disabled on the dev site.The new theme, called Corneria Sunrise, has a lot more "pop" than Corneria Star (this site's theme) already. It will be a dark theme, but the text backgrounds will be a bit lighter than black. I am working from Corneria Star's colors, so at the moment it looks a lot like Corneria Star, but it will look less and less as I make changes.I love that background. It's my best Photoshop work to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Just a heads-up, there's a bug in the beta that makes the logo image not show and a fatal error display on the thread view when I have design mode enabled. If you notice these, that means I am currently working on it. Hopefully they'll fix this soon so I can style the thread view page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted November 4, 2014 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted November 4, 2014 I love the background for the new theme too. That's the first thing that struck me when I registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarFoxfan-FUR_ever Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Agreed. I really love the background image. Just one question, is the size of the text and menus set that high by design, or does the way it looks have something to do with how it is being displayed while still in development? For some reason, I find the menus to look too large right now. Other than that, the redesign looks much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 The text size is about the same as it is on this site, but the button bar itself is taller to accommodate the search box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Orange Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Just a heads-up, there's a bug in the beta that makes the logo image not show and a fatal error display on the thread view when I have design mode enabled. If you notice these, that means I am currently working on it. Hopefully they'll fix this soon so I can style the thread view page. That bug also pops up in the Blog section here when reading someones blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Beta 2 dropped today. It seems to have fixed the designers mode issue, but in the process it nuked my theme (which they said wouldn't happen...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
