I'm getting a bit tired of the current style. If anyone has any suggestions for phpbb style templates, let me know :)

Problems I have with it:
* Hard on the eyes
* Some of the pages do not work correctly (such as the memberlist sorting)

Personally, I like alexis, alexisBlue, Appalachia, and ArgenBLUE. I haven't looked too extensively though. Also, try taking a look through these. I generally like a theme with whites, and light blues, or greens, because its easier on the eyes, and I think it makes it look more clean.

I definately like SoftGreen, and SmoothBlue. Although I'm leaning towards SoftGreen a bit more.  :)

As you may have noticed, i have just completed the update of the forums. Avatars and database are fine, there are currently no styles. I am about to upload three styles (for anyones personal choices ;).

Link to off-site Avatar works, the other two options don't.

The three styles: SoftGreen, SoftBlue, and SmoothBlue have been uploaded, and you can change them via your profile.

I need to of course, customize the 3 styles now, as none of them show the name of the site :)

Or, if anyone wants to volunteer, let me know.

What would also rock, would be some custom logo's for users in various groups (OIS, WGE, Ogre Studio) - much like how Ogre has MVP and Team meber logos. They have to be pretty small, but if an artist out there has a good idea of something, and can design/create it, I would offer a free email_address@wreckedgames.com ;)

Cheers

And I'm still using the phpBB default theme... I like Simple.  Heck, on my forum I have a ton of themes installed for people, but I still use the in-built one personally for mine.  :roll:

I can't stand looking at the same thing for too long, I need to mix it up a bit.

Plus, I think the green is more cheery then the black theme was. With Ogre Studio coming along, I'd like to raise the energy level of the forums here a tad :)

Hmm, is it just me. Or is the forum style kindof off sometime (the softgreen one). Today, I notice the top bar is wider then the main forum. However, yester the top was fine, and it was the bottom the was wider then the forum pages :?:

Hmm, I've never noticed that.  :?
I swear, I'm not playing with the templates all day.  :lol:
Maybe its your browser not getting all of the css information sometimes, and the webpage becomes distorted.
