tomturd Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Theres a new skin in the menu (http://screencast.com/t/htgaHvkyO1y). I've cleaned it up a bit, removed lots of the crap from the forum index page, and most of all moved the member bar back down to its rightful place. The icons on the member bar could do with some tidying up too. Comments/suggestions welcome PS don't take the logo too seriously, its a work in progress PPS don't try and look at it in Internet explorer, it will look shite (firefox or chrome or another browser from this side of 2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I like it though the bar at the top with the logo in looks very empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm not sure, it's almost too simplistic in my mind.. Or it's just change, which I hate in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Forgot to add, if you're using internet explorer then you're going to have a bad time. the top bar should have a silvery gradient, and the tabs should have rounded corners - do you see those? If not take a look in chrome or firefox. but yeah, overall it should look more simple. I've removed a whole world of crap from the forum view page...

onza pro series guy Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) prefer the old logo but new layout one thing you might not have noticed is on the home page the 'write status' box thing is in the middle of other peoples status'/stati (????). I'm using firefox if that makes any difference or helps at all? Edited June 17, 2012 by onza pro series guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using firefox if that makes any difference or helps at all? hmm now sure what that is, try clearing your cache or pressing CTRL+F5? I like it loads more! Is the messages/notifications still 'live'? should be under the search box? wheres the bit of the top bar gone?

TROYston Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Oh no, i meant does it update with-out the need to refresh the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Much prefer it really. Minor thing though that applies to both this and the standard theme, the drop down user menu is 1 or 2 px out and doesn't sit flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh no, i meant does it update with-out the need to refresh the page? I didn't realise it did that, but yeah it should still work the same Much prefer it really. Minor thing though that applies to both this and the standard theme, the drop down user menu is 1 or 2 px out and doesn't sit flush. ah yeah, I can see that on this computer, was using a 11" netbook to do the skin yesterday. I'll sort it out, and maybe replace those icons altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 bump - 49 odd members using the skin now, which is ace. If you did use it and switch back, could you let me know why? And if you are using it, any feedback is good Made a few little changes yesterday, just some decluttering. If you didn't notice, that's a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I liked the way the 5.0 skin has some more depth on the blue bars. Other than that 5.1 is fine. I'm not gonna switch back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think I put it back to how it was on 5.0, try a CTRL+F5 on the new skin and they should be a bit bigger again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayvon Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Still got the problem of the notification dropdown (and message one), the logo moves down a pixel or 2 when its clicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 That's supposed to happen to show you that you've clicked it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm only on the standard skin as the crappy server network at work means we're stuck using IE8 whether I like it or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayvon Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 That's supposed to happen to show you that you've clicked it right? Looks a bit odd to me. I think it should probably be in the second state all the time, as there is no gap at all originally. In fact I would probably bring them down a bit so they have even gaps top and bottom.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
