Themes/Skins

[Buster's Uncle]

Now to do some serious installin', if things work the way I think they do...

[Valka]

I've been looking through the miscellaneous category, and found a few more - a very nice blue one and a couple of others that are rather cool (anyone here into fishing?). 

[Buster's Uncle]

Link me - I've just installed several more...

[Buster's Uncle]

RPG Gamer seems broke - disabling that one...

All downloaded.  Still working through your first list.

I'm going to need to put up an announcement that themes are available w/cursory instructions...

[Valka]

I've found some nice holiday ones, so that's the next category I'll work through.

[Buster's Uncle]

Now to install everything I've got - I think I'll go ahead and set Uno to Halloween and surprise him...

[Buster's Uncle]

If you can find one, a Poke'mon theme for Kilkakon...

[JarlWolf]

And, if I can make a humble request... a Communist themed one for your friendly neighbourhood red scum?

[Buster's Uncle]

  Good idea!

Mylochka has expressed interest in making themes, so we might be able to make something eventually if there's nothing like that out there...

Valka, I might should split this theme stuff into its own thread, yes?

[JarlWolf]

Mhm... or even better yet:

Custom Faction Themes. We could have my custom faction pack, I'd willingly give motif's and other stuff to help compliment it, maybe even pictures of leaders. There could be ones for other people's factions as well, I'd love to see Dio's "Alternate Original faction" themes and Sigma's factions especially.


Characters from my AAR too maybe for my own themes...
 

[Valka]

I'll see what I can find, guys.

I've noticed some of the elements seem to be missing from the Enterprise skin (links instead of icons or buttons) and there's a font color that needs to be changed because it isn't showing up.

And yes, it's fine to split this into a new thread. We're not exactly talking about the Shop anymore, since this is a separate part of the forum.

[Buster's Uncle]

Right.  I'll get that.

I see that pretty much 100% of these themes are going to need customizing - every icon, badge, avatar and everything else graphical I've done for the forum was based in an assumption that it was going to display on a light shade of blue - and some things don't load at all in some themes.  And my username is nigh-invisible in the who's online list at the bottom of the root directory in the Halloween theme.  I'm learning my way through this stuff, and it would take days to get everything if I already knew how and nothing popped up to distract me; two conditions that are not and will not be the case.

I'll try to get it straightened out...

Does anyone remember the old SMAC theme at Apolyton? I used that and really miss it. The light blue items were black, and the dark blue ones were orange. Come to think of it, maybe that wasn't the best colour composition in the world, but you know, SMAC.
