Demo Menu Theme

Ok, figured out how to add an image to the bottom of a box. (dont know how to do it autimatically for each box, have to do it manually.)

If you use my test theme on the testbed and go to 'general discussion' you can see that I added the header image to the bottom of the boardlist.
Now if done properly, we could set it up with a 3 part image, so it stretches nicely.

-edit-
I have added it to every box on the homepage. Surely there is a better way to do it than to add it manually on every page.
But if all else fails... we at least know we can do it manually now. =]

Oh, I didn't notice that. Good catch.

I don't think it's a good idea black with dark blue.

Btw it'll take a while to get used to the new background.

Actually, maybe way too dark now lol.

What are those colors in hex?

Yeah, I think we need to come up with a plan for this stuff.
Ease of use shouldnt be sacrified for pretty graphics.

I think what could help the board lists be more legible is having a dropshadow for all text.
The 'original' int he game menu, has a large general shadow behind the text, which makes it pop out. I tried to include that inmy PSD, but if it is hard to implement due to it having multiple cells and what not, I think we should give the text a drop shadow.

The 'bevel drop shadow' I think it will look a bit better if it isnt as blurry.
At the moment it feels like the text is stamped into a soft material, it does not fit with the rest of the elements in the bar, they are pretty sharp chiseled edges.

As for the BG of the posts/shouts/etc., since they all use the same colours, I think a semi transparent black BG could work well.
Not a fan of the text colours changing every other post tbh. I think it might work better by having the BG colour change slightly and have the text always be the same colour.

Not sure the gradient on the board list is working well either. It's obvious  its stretching  based on the size of the window/box.

omg the theme is getting better and better.

I've some suggestions o.o





In the post section (where you see i put purple, red and green colors),

At the purple part, is it possible for you to increase the padding equally?

At the green part, is it possible to put the Quote/Like/Settings more vertically in the middle? (in the same line as "Jul 5, 2016 at 4:56pm XombieMike is interested in this")

At the 4 red corners, do you plan to make round corners? :3








Another suggestion,



Do you think black lines are more confortable or white lines are better for this one?

A bit of feedback on the new theme: looks great overall, but with the Profile/Avatar section of the page now being visually separate from the Post section, having the Quick Reply extend across both sections looks a bit off IMO. May be worth setting it to the same width as the Post section and see how that looks.

Ah, thanks Jeff. I'll try to fix that when I'm off work.

Shortening quick reply would be a challenge. Especially since it would cut off the metal title bar part way through.

Making a border around the post is on my wish list too.

I still like that the gradient looks different. It just adds a bit of depth to the section it covers. If it's possible to restrict it to individual table cells , I'm just not good enough with CSS to do it.

Inverted rounded corners are indeed possible.

There are issues with some screens on the mobile version. I hate the mobile version. Use mobile desktop.

line 431 like you see now, or @title_text_shadow: 2px 2px 0px #cecfdd; ?
