New forum theme

Post by amstel78 »

As you may have noticed, a new forum theme has been installed. If you want to compare the two, you can revert back to the previous theme titled 'CA Black' by going into your User CP / Board Preferences and changing the style selection. I have noticed however that certain functionality is missing with the old theme such as being able to PM or Email a user directly from a post, therefore, I highly suggest that everyone uses the new theme. Eventually, the new theme will become the default, and CA Black will be disabled after 10 days.

Let me know what you guys think of the new theme by participating in the poll*.

The forums you created are truly a work of art.

Did you do all the graphics yourself? If so that's pretty impressive.

No, the graphics were part of a theme that I had found while scouring some of the phpBB resource forums so I can't claim credit. The banner image I did in photoshop from a 3d rendering of a knight I found on the net. Most of the work however went into the module coding and overall stability and functionality of the forum.

I suppose I could have made a theme from scratch, but juggling between my career, family, my kids, and my other hobbies, it would have taken far too long to do.

If anyone is intimately familiar with phpBB 3 and would like to create a custom theme for this forum, then that would be great as well.

I think it looks great. I'm impressed with any graphics work because I am terrible at it. I actually work as a web developer for a ticketing software company, but I do mostly server side and database stuff because of my lack of any artistic ability.

I'm a web developer too! xD
I, however, am a designer as well, so I do my own graphics. I like Photoshop and GIMP, but I have to say vector images are my favorite. I use Illustrator all the time!

FYI, the previous theme 'CA Black' is now deactivated. The default and only choice will be the current KoRT theme. Thanks for the feedback.
