Not to spin this into the usual topics, but i find GUIs in general have become somewhat vapid and feminine. Interfaces with sharp, contrasted text and borders have disappeared, except for some business applications.Winston wrote:I just finished installing Artodia Ultra Blue on my other forum. Check it out.

Now we have to choose among rosy/pastel flowery presentations, even in full fledged OSs. I guess it's the market catering for an increasing female and hipster/metro dude demand.
1)Too much of one thing defeats the purpose.
2)Everybody is full of it. What's your hypocrisy?

Winston, the avatars are too small on that forum, they are only 180 x 180 pixels. You need to keep the avatars the same size they are now, 200 x 300 pixels.Winston wrote:I just finished installing Artodia Ultra Blue on my other forum. Check it out. What do you think?

I think the dark contrasts makes the text easier to read. Plus that one has the Blue/Orange color scheme we currently have now.Winston wrote:I already looked over that one.

Update:
After testing Artodia Blue on my other forum, I'm having second thoughts about it. Some of the buttons are hard to find, and the dirty white background feels kind of gloomy. The white background we had before felt more uplifting and clean.
Also, in the posts, you can't see a PM button to send a PM to someone. You have to hover over the username with the mouse cursor to see a PM button appear. That's kind of lame. Many people will not know that there is a PM button there unless they hover their cursor over the user name, which there is no guarantee they will do. That's a stupid flaw.
Perhaps we should just upgrade to Prosilver. We can change the colors of Prosilver, because the blue is too bright in it, to the shade of blue we have in the current theme. And we can use a mod to move the avatars from the right side to the left side.
What do you all think?
I prefer the look of our current theme. But another advantage of upgrading is that phpbb3 now has a mobile theme where all I do is upload it and mobile users will be redirected to it. This might be a major issue as more users come here from their mobile phones and tablets.

What do you think of the Subsilver2 theme? I think it looks better than Prosilver and looks like a decent blue theme, similar to this one.

Re: Poll: Vote on our new forum theme!
You're not thinking clearly or rationally @Renata. I thought you were smarter than that. Let me explain the obvious.Renata wrote: ↑July 13th, 2014, 5:09 amYou always ask for opinions & advice then you just do whatever you want, because you've already pre-selected haven't you? Regardless of the majority vote. So I'll just vote at random.Winston wrote:SubSilver is nice. But it looks too old style. Forums looked like that when they first came out. I'm looking for a more upscale look.eurobrat wrote:SubSilver & any of the Artodia's.
I'm leaning toward SubAndreas. What do you all think? It looks like a vbulletin theme.
When I do polls it's just to see what people think. Of course I care what members think, that's why I changed that 1996 theme early because many found it unbearable. So users' opinions are a factor to me that I take into account. But of course, just as a king has his advisors, I don't have to listen to everyone's advice. Sometimes I feel the advice is wrong and will make a different decision. No king is obligated to take the advice of his advisors if he doesn't think it's the best choice. Come on. You are assuming that everyone's advice is wise and good and better than mine. That's an obvious fallacy. I thought you were a lot smarter than to assume such an obvious fallacy.
Just because I ask for advice or feedback or polls doesn't mean I will always go with majority opinion. Majority is not always right. There is bad advice too. Like the expert advice I got to move my website to VPS before. It's been nothing but trouble on VPS, it's increased my costs and my site ranking went down after I move to VPS. So that was BAD advice from my expert webmaster friend. Bad advice does exist you know, and can result in the wrong decisions. I'm sure you know that. So why do I need to explain it? I don't understand why I need to explain so many obvious things to you folks which you should know without explanation. Very weird. You should be smart enough to know this already.
Ultimately I gotta go with my best judgment, not blindly listen to what others say, even if they are wrong. I'm sure you and every wise person does the same. Asking for advice and running polls are just ways of gathering data to consider as a FACTOR, not as a vote in Congress to decide an issue. So I think you are confused.
