Theme for GSX1400Owners.ORG for SMF 2.1

[LandyVlad]

I can't see the images in your above post no doubt due to work firewall rubbish.  Will check out later.
Cheers 

[LandyVlad]

haha ok I did manage to visit the site (despite firewall) and see the changes - looks fantastic mate !!!!! 

[LandyVlad]

Still loving this - so much that I am tempted to upgrade the live site to RC4.

Must... resist... ?

@lesmond


some feedback from my forum admins -

the stickies don't immediately stand out as such - just a slight darker shade behind the thread isn't cutting it for me.

All I can think of is going another shade darker on the sticky background


I wonder if you have any more creative ideas for this?

see
https://gsx.lesmonds.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=770fb363442ad63136afd2a8554c0485&board=10.0
compare existing 2.0 theme

Also the icons on the LHS - are they forum default or is there an image missing?

Not sure what you mean? screen shot please

Hmm on the sticky issue maybe looks too dark but I've done a screenshot and will run it by them. Maybe you could change it to the orange of SMF 2.0.x and we'll see how that looks?

As for the icons these are the ones I am talking about.

and lastly as per:

and
https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=578251

would you be kind enough to try 

The following is for default theme, obviously you'd navigate to he relevant directory for your theme:

In ./Themes/default/css/index.css
Find:

Code Select Expand

max-width: 1200px;Replace With:

Code Select Expand

max-width: 2300px;
and we'll see how it looks?

Change to an orange colour, there are 3 colours for sticky's 'sticky, sticky/locked and locked'

As for the icons these are the ones I am talking about.

These are determined by the poster in posted messages... 'Message Icons'

and lastly as per:

In ./Themes/default/css/index.css
Find:

Code Select Expand

    max-width: 1200px;Replace With:

Code Select Expand

    max-width: 2300px;
and we'll see how it looks?

This will also affect the header image as there are 2 places that have to be changed..
Has you can see the header background will have to be changed to fit

Thanks mate I cant see some of that from work (FIREWALL)  will have a look later. 

[LandyVlad]

OK cool here's the feedback

Actually I quite like that orange for stickies - makes them stand out nicely.

Do we need different colour combinations though for stickies and stickies locked? Personally I'd have the same as per the orange.

Regards locked threads, I don't think we need a different colour combination, just leave as standard.

the latest iteration, the stickies colour is good.

Good comments mate

Thought I would have a play with some member badges

Love that third one but maybe text needs a black outline / drop shadow to separate it from background more.
