DZComposer Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The theme development is underway! The new theme is called "Corneria Star" and is based on dark blue, dark red, black, and gray. I'm not a huge fan of the admin cp, mod cp, and user controls being at the very top of the page, so I moved them below the main menu. I have finished for the day, and each day at finish I will post progress screenshots. I do not recommend using the theme until I finish it, as you may run into usability issues. If you have any suggestions, now is the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 It's looking good, DZ. I'm using it anyway, as that white was annoying me. Nah, I think I will use the default until this is finished, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStarFoxMaster64 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hurr, made it in the screenshot. Looks good! I was a little unsure about the red at first, but seeing it with the blue definitely convinced me. Its very Star-Fox-y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxMcCloud Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I really like this new theme. I will use this theme for most of the day and note any Usability issues in future edits I make in this post. Issues: White text in notification bar, along with user's profiles and information some of the text being white (Expected due to coloring scheme.) Pink bar on Content I follow page seems to be off for the color profile, recommend using red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"User" Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Those screenshots look very nice. Yeah, they do. I didn't even know there was an "About me" section that I could fill out into detail so I decided to complete it for my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thu'um Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 More progress they are very nice but the topics are are hard to make out due to being dark against the dark backround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I like it, a lot. Very nice DZ, I can't wait to see it in action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm using it right now, just to see how it works. I have run into usability issues, too, (yesterday, today I haven't seen anything wrong with it) but there's an easy solution for that…*switch*. It's looking great, DZ. The real SFO is coming back.

DZComposer Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 they are very nice but the topics are are hard to make out due to being dark against the dark backround They are brighter than the screenshot leads you to believe. The screenshot was taken at 1920x1080 and was shrunk and compressed by IPB when I attached it. For instance, you can't tell from the screens, but the black background box behind all of the page elements is semi-transparent so you can see the stars behind it.

Tailsz Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 For instance, you can't tell from the screens, but the black background box behind all of the page elements is semi-transparent so you can see the stars behind it. I was wondering about this... It's looking good so far though I like the addition of red. Oh and YAY, I'm part of a screenshot. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Coloration-wise, the theme is about 85% done. All that is left is re-doing images. Also, once I figure out how to fix articles, any color changes needed there. Also, I need to deal with any little things that I missed that may come up. I also need to re-skin the editor, but I can't do that until I make the theme live because the changes I need to make affect all themes. I'd say it is good enough to declare the theme as a functional beta, so if you want to play with it, go ahead. Just remember that there are a few things I still need to do. EDIT: It is worth noting that the theme looks a lot better in any browser that is not IE. IE doesn't display standard CSS correctly, and the transparency effects don't work in IE either. So, if the theme looks off in IE, don't blame me, blame Microsoft. Every other browser gets it right, and I do not have the desire to code a bunch of extra crap just to make it look better in IE. If you use IE, do yourself a favor and get a better browser like Firefox or Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Poll options are invisible due to the window being white and the text being white as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xortberg Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 You can use the theme as is, if you're that impatient for it. I am :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarita Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 You can start using it now, if you'd like! Just go to the little link at the bottom of the forum next to the RSS button that says "Change Theme" ! I'm sure DZ would appreciate having some people test it to help him find errors.
