What styles do you use if any?

[Deebs]

Folks,

I need to start cleaning the forums up and remove any styles that are not used which in turn allows me to upgrade more easily to new versions of the forum software.

Therefore I have put a poll up with this post to check what you all use and think...

 

[Thadius]

Whats the green one called?

 

[Deebs]

FreddysHouse = lots of green

 

[Thadius]

FreddysHouse = lots of green

If you take that style away, I will hunt you down and make you change it back :<

Default - theme is the only work safe one, in that people can walk past without going "uh - is that work related?"

 

[Raven]

Steel Blue - but it doesn't always work so I have to switch to the default one

[Kami]

[Garaen]

I use the DAoC one as the light brown colour is a lot easier on the eyes than the bright green.

[Draylor]

Steel blue.

I am and always have been allergic to green. Its a religious thing

 

[Deebs]

Ok,

Not one person so far has mentioned World of Warcraft so the style has now been removed.

 

[Raven]

Is it not possible to just use one style but have an option to change the colour?

 

[Deebs]

Not at the moment, but when I upgrade to version 3.6.6 of vbulletin I will be adding a new style which allows you to choose many different colours.

Before I upgrade to to the latest version I want to understand who uses what styles as there is a little bit of work involved.

The bulk of the work is on changing the images. As they're all gifs (no alpha transparency) they all have to be remade to blend in to the background colour they'll be appearing on top of. Otherwise they have funny white outlines (some images in the current style look like this, that should be fixed when the forums get upgraded )

Other than the images it's really easy

 

[Dr_Weasel]

Steel blue for me. The bright green is a tad too obvious at work.

 

[Bahumat]

The default Style is green. Shouldn't it be a light blue colour? I like that one as my boss doesn;t know its not work related

You can override the default style by going into your user cp and selecting "Default style", which is the nice pleasant one

 

[Bahumat]
