Genecks Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Would it be possible to create a different forum look? Perhaps something black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tree Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Yes, Firefox allows for you to create a stylesheet of your own and apply to the websites you visit. So long as your willing to learn CSS then it should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Yes, it would be possible. If you had the time to help us do it, we could have one. However, we're busy with other things (like setting up those much-wanted religion forums) so we don't really have time to consider an alternate style yet.

ParanoiA Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Whatever you do, don't ruin the awesome set up of this forum. It's hard to read posts and quotes in other forums. I don't know if it's the color shading or what, but that's something I've always like about this forum - ease of reading and interpreting the posts - tracing back the quotes and so forth. Whoever is responsible for its current design did a great job on it. But black is much cooler...generally always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelen Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 A black forum layout sounds like something really disgusting to me. I don't like black at all. I always associate it with the more underground and kewl forums, where real science and real intellectual discussion finds no home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutZ Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You can make themes and such, it's been such a long time since I've fiddled with this forum stuff, but you know the best way to do it in most forums was to have an open contest for things such as themes and banners. Winners get their work put up under the circumstance that it meets the criteria of the forum owners. Although this is alot easier if you had a graphics section to the forum, they (GFX'er) love that stuff, I use to be one of those people that made stuff like that all the time, foolin with photoshop and the likes.

I don't know if it's the color shading or what, but that's something I've always like about this forum - ease of reading and interpreting the posts - tracing back the quotes and so forth.I agree completely. I don't know whether it's because it's what I'm used to or whether it's just easier on the eye and brain, but this is far and away the best forum for readability and ease of use. I wish all the other Science Forums Network sites had the same basic color scheme. *cough* Theology Forums *cough* Besides, black is soooooo ten minutes ago. Everyone knows blue is the new black.

Dave Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 There are ideas in the pipeline about creating a new style for SFN, whilst at the same time retaining the basic colours and just generally making things look a little more modern. Personally, I would be interested to gauge opinions on the rounded outline the site has - better with, or without? It's extremely likely that even if we do create a new style, both will be accessible and usable for at least the next year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 i like the blue/grey style. one pet peeve of mine tho, is: <-- that thing. ok, i see it's purpose, and i have nothing against it being on the left. however: when the post is very very long like this i think the post should 'collapse out' to utilise the extra space to the left. <-- this space, which no longer serves a purpose. i dont know why, but the fact that it doesn't do that has allways bugged me. rounded edges look nice.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 There's always the post layout style used here. Note that for a new style (or a derivative of this one) to be made, we need a good bit of free time, which none of us seem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I like the space. It keeps the margin straight and easy to navigate and read. Dynamic margins are not cool. i agree, if the margin is going to keep changing. but, it would only change the margin once, after it cleared the users avitar. either that, or the users info should go across the top imo.
