New Site Theme!!!

04-09-2007, 05:34 PM

The old theme always reminded me of a generic box of cereal. Most xB owners are lively and fresh. I felt our theme should show a bit of that.

At first the green may be overwhelming, believe it or not I toned it down a bit.
But I'd suggest giving the site a day or two trial before reverting back to the old theme.

Keep in mind that any updates or new features from here out will only be done to the new theme. At some point the black and white will go away.

I hope everyone enjoys the new look as much as I do.

NOTE** there may be an image missing or not updated here or there. Feel free to send me a PM or post here any glitches you may come across I will fix them asap!!!

Love it. Very soothing - unlike red!

red was my second choice. j/k
blue was actually my second choice. But I thought the green was a little more fresh looking.

It's not bad at all. It was strange, I was looking at one page, then clicked on the next and WHOH, the site turned GREEN and BLACK!! It's neat though...

how funny..cuz when i first got on it was the old layout and then right when i pressed "new posts" it turned green on me! i was like, "whoa!" hahahaha...all good though..hurt my eyes a bit at first, but i think it's slowly adjusting to it. hehehehe

Like previously said, I love it Dave! For all those unsure, let it try for a couple days like I did as it REALLY grows on you. I was unsure, but love it now.

j/k!

I guess I am going to have to go aganst the grain. I really don't care for it all that much.

And honestly I prefer the more subtle look of the black and white. It makes it much less consipicuous for those of us that check in on the site from work on occasion. The old black and white theme made it very easy to pop in here during a break from work. This sour apple green theme may mean that if I want to check in with a Scion site on my breaks, it will be the other site.

Just my thoughts.

yeah, i think i am not going to come here often. its kinda hurting my eyes.

Hey I think it looks pretty good a nice change of pace Good Job !

Boy was this a surprise! Definitely different.

boxd_up · 04-09-2007, 06:34 PM

I love it! Green is one of my favorite colors. Can people have an option to change the color scheme if it bothers them though?

You guys are crazy if you're gonna let the color drive you to some other site though ... imagine, I frequent a forum that uses colors in the poop-color range and it kinda turns my stomach everytime, but the forum content is what keeps me around.

dekthai · 04-09-2007, 06:39 PM

a bit too loud for me and flashy for work so i just changed the skin in my preferences back to the original...kudos for making new themes...how about themes for each color :P

boxd_up · 04-09-2007, 06:46 PM

Oh, look, people can change the scheme at the bottom of the page, if they want. That's cool.

ketchup_xb · 04-09-2007, 06:48 PM

i thought i was at a different site. diggin the new look.

Iron_Lion_Scion · 04-09-2007, 07:07 PM

A little bright, but I think that was because it was unexpected.
The New Posts link isn't workin for me anymore. - Nevermind, workin fine.

You can also change it from your User CP ...

I like although. Although now I Gotta find a candy store, to find me a sour apple blow pop.

I'll be one of the negatives here. It's a bit too bright for me. When I clicked my bookmarks and this bright green page came up, my eyes hurt. Really. I like the fact that it can be changed back to classic, as it's better on my eyes. Is there a way you can setup different schemes with the program you're using to create the websites? That way any 'upgrades' you make can be implemented on all fronts? The new layout is nice, but the color is....blech.
