NEW SITE.

Unread post by wuxmedia » Mon Mar 06, 2017 9:18 am

OK so woah new look, bit of a shock to some of you!
New latest version of phpbb3 (so won't have to frig about updating it for a while) and it's waay more mobile friendly.

The standard theme is OK so I installed another one, that was worse, but dark at least. I needed some damn fine colours took one of dkeg's Xolours for the board :) with shades and tints.

So, any issues, boxes funny colours or odd looking things let me know here.
Google recaptcha so shouldn't have much spam, even though the mods on here have been on it quick.

I want to thank you wux for the new base. It's excellent. A bit of a "flat theme", love it! Also speed has drastically increased. Yum!

One question though: how can we see "unread posts/topics/forums"? In the past we had a different coloured icon, or in links/w3m it showed (Unread posts)" -- or unread ones were bold.
If there's a way to link an existing icon set, I'd take an unsaturated one for read topics/forums and a saturated one for unread ones.

Wux: I can't attach file in this subforum (didn't see phpbb.plupload), is it normal?

Thanks for the new look, was quite surprised and stunned a bit (looks dkeg-ish). Great job.

yeah WRT the icons - I think it's a theme issue, something is not quite right.
I can't even see a 404.. where it's not finding the icons. :(

I would be okay with bold fonts vs normal weight, or orange-ish vs white, if we keep it icon-free.

I rarely post, but visit the site almost every day. When I was introduced to changes. Said WOW, this theme looks so easy and very well colored.
Before reading here. I thought i smell some dkeg's color style but when i read his nick name said again, i wasn't wrong :)

Just like ^machinebacon said, i find too a little flat on buttons.

For example: buttons if can be decorate with border around like a buttons would make more easy to define buttons from text.

Note: Don't forget to put an BBQ icon on tab as well.

In general I am happy about your changes :)

Congratulations and best regards.

Looks good. A bit weird seeing user profiles/avatars on the right side. Guess it's something I'll get used to eventually.
