Sandbox

Ok, the theme is done.. let me know if you have any questions/issues...

Cheers

Great work Andy!

As I just posted .... AWESOME 

Nice work!

It could use a bit more contrast between the different posts imho.

Woo Hoo! Much better! It's great. Good work!!!

This is indeed much better. Its much more easier to read and decide what topics are interesting.... Great work

Whoa! I came back to check on a thread, and was greated by the new theme... I love it! Very nice work Andy!!

(I do agree that it could benefit from a little more contrast between odd & even posts.)

Nice work. Thank you!

it's great

you made superb design

thank you rhuk

What a suprise when I woke up this morning and logged on.

Absolutely awesome, well done guys.

rhuk: You never seize to amaze - great work!

1. It is absolutely beautiful.

2. Please increase the size of the body text.
Too small for online reading. Yes, I see the text resizer. Per any usability book/guru/etc. 10 pt is the absolute minimum for online reading. Larger is better for extended reading online. This Tehoma is small to begin with. Constantly hitting the FF + to increase font size.

hey i never realised ctrl + did that - cool tip

thanks

Brian

Great work, as usual!

BTW, is there any option to install the SMF language files? With the multilanguage features we can pass the language variable in the url and make things easier.

just two things:

1) Please make the body font larger, it seems silly to have to Ctrl+/Cmd+ on every forum page I open.

2) Profile > Show Posts - the links in the header of each post are almost as pale as the background so they could do with being a bit darker.

Other than these two I must say that I am blown over by the ability to combine a great looking graphics on the Joomla! site and forum while retaining a formal, quality look to it. 10/10

1) The font is the same size as the previous template.  In fact it should be the same as the regular text as all the joomla.org sites.  you can use the + / - buttons in the header to increase the font size and it will save your settings in a cookie for all pages.

2) I see black on light-grey for the headers.

I think that you might need to clear your cache as it could be that you are using an old css template.  Try SHIFT-RELOAD also, that might help.

Thanks for the compliments though.

I absolutely love the new theme!!!!! The new icons are awesome and make it so much easier to see where the new posts are, they really reach out and slap you in the face to get your attention with their color!! Great work, you got 2 thumbs up from me!!!

@rhuk,

1) Pity, it's a nuisance.

2) I should have explained better - it's the hover colour. This is what I mean:

ah ok, i'll fix the hover color later.

Old font was Verdana versus Tehoma now.
Tehoma is smaller overall than Verdana and harder to read online.

Turn off font aliasing and look at the two fonts onscreen.
Many Tehoma character combinations are separated by only 1 pixel.
All characters in Verdana are separated by 2 pixels.
Plus the characters in Verdana are wider, more open, and easier to read.

Just change from Tehoma to Verdana and see the difference.

The equivalent readability in Tehoma requires a larger font size.

Congrats to the new theme for the forums! I like it!

--Yes, I also noticed that when you turn off the anti alias for the font the ... text becomes much smaller and hard to read

Overall .... excellent work!

What a pleasant surprise, the forum looks great!

New theme looks awesome! Great job

Beutifullllllllllllll I could kiss it 

Theme looks beautiful! Font size is perfect too

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

This looks GREAT. You really integrated it nicely into OSM.org. Job well done!!! Love the new buttons too.

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?

I love the template!
Just one question. WTF? (What's The Font) 
i've been searching for a good pixel font for ages.
