Lilacs Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The site looks more like an ad for SMF than a StarFox board. So to help I made some sprites and animations to give this place a more StarFoxy look. Give ideas, and thoughts in your posts. Banner ' New post Replace this: with: No New post Replace this: With: Plus the black back ground theme becoming standard, and were are the smiles I gave to the admins? More coming.

TakeWalker Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 While my original response was "no", those SF-themed icons are actually really well made! The polling one could use a retread, but otherwise, I'd love to see those in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilacs Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks, I'll retry the polling one, I couldn't think of how to make him. You know making the polls visible yet at the same time keeping the the StarFox icon visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah, those look good. I'm all for it, but ultimately it's up to DZ to implement them. Actually, I could try to do it, but I don't want to make changes to the structure of the forums without DZ's okay, as he's really in charge of them.

Lilacs Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 I hope he does approve of them, I think the main reason we are not getting any new "post heavy and it no be spam" members is because of the way the forum looks. I know mommy told me looks aren't every thing but there a big part and what I see is SMF forum not a Starfox board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco-Man Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I hope he does approve of them, I think the main reason we are not getting any new "post heavy and it no be spam" members is because of the way the forum looks. I know mommy told me looks aren't every thing but there a big part and what I see is SMF forum not a Starfox board. I wouldn't think so. I've seen many many video game-related forums and most of them never change the forums to look more like Star Fox/Anything-related forums. The only changes I usually see is the skins, possible banners at the top of the pages, and emoticons. I've always wondered why they never change those topic icons/post icons. That's definately better than the logo I tried making. Awesome. What's the point of a bank system anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilacs Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 True, but We need at least a Banner or somthing, I gave DZ a truck load a StarFox emoticons, but I not sure if hes going to use them. Well he could be tied up with something eles, so I not going to start naging a whole bunch. Here are the Emoticons, If you wnat to see them: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol-Ratcht Saporro Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Why are they differenciated in size? Oh well! I think they are kyoote! *cuddles the Peppy and Wolf emoticons* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Why are they differenciated in size? Oh well! I think they are kyoote! *cuddles the Peppy and Wolf emoticons* I think that pixel-wise, they are equal sized, but he wanted that one to be physically bigger for easier viewing. Easily changed.

DZComposer Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Some of those icons are indeed nice, but I am waiting more for the site to get a finalized look so I can make the forums match. Changing the icons is as easy as replacing the images for every theme on the server with these, though if we do do that we need to make sure those are the same pixel size as the originals or it could wonk-up the layout if the themes were hard-coded for those sizes. Also, I don't mind if another admin adds a few smilies. Just make sure they are reasonable and have transparent backgrounds. EDIT: Set your theme to "Black Rain." :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol-Ratcht Saporro Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Whoo! I was in shock when I saw the layout change. But, its very nice and sleek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Cool upgrade to the forums, but there's one problem. The dark red text on the dark grey background is not following contrast rules, generally making it hard to read. I could change it to a pure red if you want.

DZComposer Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Feel free to change it. I was in a hurry last night, and the original text color of this theme was this orange that I thought would make it look like we were trying to copy AL. You don't need to download the stylesheet if you don't want to. You can edit it from the admin CP if you want to. It's under Themes and Layout > Themes and Settings > Black Rain > Modify the style.css file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludvig11 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 That's nice. but one thing that I prefer with having a "white" theme is that avatars with much white fits in more thenm and some other thing(s) maybe. Also, can anyone try to "clean" the "" emoticon, cause with a dark background you can see white lines around it. And yes, edit the reds. Hope to see more improvments.
