Notice Our New Default Theme

Our forum just got a makeover. Introducing, Project Traction (official name TBD). Project Traction was made by me and is my first attempt at a serious forum theme. We are taking a new approach with the layout and design of the forum to maintain a more efficient and modern style. I need feedback. Please give me comments, questions, suggestions and concerns.

What does this mean for those of you using a unique colored version of our old theme? We would like to introduce our AD Styler and Color Options. These allow you to select your own client sided color, font and background image. The need for making multiple themes for user selection is now a thing of the past. Now you can customize your own forum theme with a basic selection of colors, fonts and patterns.

Take a look around and tell me what you think. Please point out anything from the old theme that did not carry over. Please leave comments, questions, suggestions and concerns so we can improve our theme. If I forgot anything else let me know.

 

We're moving towards less user themes because of the extra resources being used on the forum because of it. It adds up in lots of places.

Theme is switched off while I work on the issue with the patterns.

 

Forgot to mention. We can extend what colors are changed through certain variables in the AD Styler's settings.

For instance, tertiary color currently only changes welcome block and welcome block header. But other areas like "icon" can be defined in the following variable:

Code:

styleit_var['tertiaryColor_color'] = "#uix_welcomeBlock .uix_welcomeBlockHeader .uix_icon";

I'll definitely add more areas to be colored in the future.

Will also keep an eye out on the color options for any template reversions. It was a noted bug from the developer that we might be able to address.

 

Theme is back up.

@Core the issue with the background patterns filling the screen should be resolved. Let me know if you are still having any issues.


@TheAuraKnight I replaced the old links on the navbar. You can also find our site links in the footer.

 

Change is good though. If it makes you feel any better we'll be using this framework for a long time.

 

Ad styler is switched off for the time being. I may remove it from the default theme and then make a copy of the theme that will have it enabled. Then if people want they can choose it from the theme selector. I'm having issues with all of the gradients looking terrible and I want more of a personalized background image to give the forum more character.

I'll probably even go through with remaking 3 selectable themes with the new framework but using the old purple, green and red styles that were removed.

So basically the theme structure would be

Project Traction (framework and default theme)
- Project Traction with Ad Styler
- Kami Style
- Midori Style
- Arisu Style

There is a temporary background image up. In the morning I will make something more personalized with our mascots.

 

No. Just the background will change.
