New vpsBoard theme

[MannDude]

As part of some of the new weekend updates, I've added a new theme to vpsBoard. Please scroll down to the footer of the website and locate, "Change Theme". Check out "vpsBoard New" and let me know what you think.

Alternatively, screenshots are here:



And:



If everyone likes it, I may force the change sitewide. Otherwise, it will remain as an option. I may add a couple more themes to the mix, too. Enjoy!

Current one is better.

We needs a proper dark ish theme!

Oh man I love the new theme. It looks GREAT.

Adds more color too. Instead of all brown it's now dark grey and red!

Problems I see:

* It's terrible for wide screens. It really needs a max-width setting somewhere.

* The contrast of the black bars is too strong; this color should probably be about 10% higher in brightness than it is now.

* Not enough color separation for other design elements. I'm just seeing as bunch of... things floating in white space on the page, without a clear idea of what belongs to what: http://owely.com/3rg7EU

I love the contrast better than the current theme. But not keen on the white body background, try using something less 'whitey', maybe #F2F2F2

I vote you just adapt the Solarized color palette to the current theme instead (preferably the dark variant).

The background is a little hard on the eyes but I do like where it's going!

Yes, I agree with you on that @Francisco. Other than that I like it, good colour combinations. Perhaps you could consider using a smoother font? Try to make everything easy on the eyes.

But yeah, I like it.

The lack of a "Mark all read" button on the "View new content" page with the new theme is a bit of a downer (unless I'm blind, which is entirely possible).

 

[Ivan]

It is a nice new theme. 

 

[NickM]

I like it, as a concept.  Needs a few tweaks, particularly the max width as joepie mentioned.  One particular thing to note is that some of the red accents seem a bit out of place - particularly the red line in quotes between the header and the quoted content, and above / below the poll question.

 

[ExonHost]

Looks nice.

This please.

 

[dcdan]

To be honest I prefer the current one

 

[Boltersdriveer]

Yep, definitely prefer the new one though wouldn't mind changes once in a while for seasons. The current one is nice for fall I guess.

 

[Reece-DM]

Much much better and easier on the eyes

I'm growing to like it, but it def needs a max width. The site looks weird on it on a 2560 x 1440p resolution. So fixed width at least would be nice.
