New Theme is live!

[bluesaze]

I absoulty agree......... I think another thread was foalting around asking to change the Icons for the sticky......

Hi Andy,

I like the new forum template. Easier to read, for me personally. Also like the graphics and buttons. One small detail though, what about images such as locked, sticky (show at the bottom, viewing a forum)? And the smilies? They feel a bit out of place now, with the new button images. Will they be replaced as well?

Hey Brad what is the name of this theme? It's wicked.

It's a custom designed theme... Andy (rhuk), one of the Core Devs designed it.

Does anyone know what skin has been used for this forum - I really like it and would like to use it on a project which I am doing?
Thanks for the help!

Just echoing the remarks above.

lovely job.  No issues with the font / legibility here

@kenmcd - cool Firefox tip, I had no idea it did that

[ Ctrl ] [ + ] increases the font size
[ Ctrl ] [ - ] descreases the font size
[ Ctrl ] [ 0 ] makes it standard again

Andy, again my complements very nice design.

Got one thing though: the quote and code font is a bit small. the others are perfectly readable on my screen (1400x1024)

This skin was expressely developed for the Joomla site by one of the core team member.  It is not available for general use.

Glad you like it though

I noticed a horizontal scrollbar when use the code tag. For example:

I must say after using this forum for more than an hour or soo it feels good
the sticky icons and Smilyes are not that great overall its cool

[bluesaze]

mmmmmmmm Me too But its not that bad

I like the new layout of this forum very much, except for the buttons (home, help search, reply, quote etc).
I am afraid that those buttons (white text on light grey to very light grey background) are very hard to read on TFT screens 
Black text or a darker background buttons would increase the readability.

ahh yes a good point if we could chage them to black it would stand out more

[wyzemoro]

is the icon/pic here.. is for public use? can i also use it on my smf forum?

[pe7er]

Very nice layout!

Darn it ...... I just put a post and cliked post it didnt post ......... anyway i agree the font would stand out a bit more if they were black

  yes you did, I posted in this thread too, because the subject was more suitable. I read your other post, thanks for the suggestion...

It has to do with the view angle at a TFT screen. When I move my head 30 centimetres down, the readability of the buttons improves somewhat...

[Websmurf]

that's true yes.

[bluesaze]

Ha ha ......... I kinda got confused .... I thought maybe some error had occured

[rjs]

This looks very nice. Didn't kill the site's speed either. I think it's super. Good work.

I did notice something.  "Powered by Joomla! - Copyright © 2005 - All Rights Reserved" is in light grey and hardly readable. Maybe the font color could be darkened so it's more noticeable.

I echo that

Also echo this, with TFT it is nearly impossible to see the copyright note.
