Forum Layout

[Xei]

...is hideous. We've had this 'temporary' default skin for the new forum system for about half a year now, it's driving me insane. It was always meant to be changed but unfortunately the Art Team got deleted after the software switch. I've got quite a bit of experience with sorting out forums so I'll get to work on some icons and things if that's okay. But yeah, the banner and everything just looks completely unprofessional and a bit of a mess at the current time. So I'll start working on the design now I've got some time, I think. If anybody wants to make any suggestions then just post below.

clouds would be nice

[Xei]

Sure. I could do different times of day if that sounds nice.

it does I'm wondering though ... Blue is my favourit colour, but is it possably to get swerly animations and such in different colours?

[Karillion]

I have only ever seen this skin on the forums but I must admit I kinda like it....don't hurt me!

[Xei]

When icedawg was still around we did experiment with animations, but in the end it was just a bit of a pain trying to integrate Flash into the forum software. At the above; sure, we could always have several skins available, this being one of them.

If anyone still has the old banner, please post it. The old theme was amazing and the old banner fit perfectly. I've always thought the current banner is very unprofessional. Crap font, intense blue colors... just not great looking.

I was playing with my skin today and heres what i formed : Im very experienced in Vb and got lots of sites which i host. Click here If you need help please pm me Not to be rude but, I don't like it. I don't want DV looking like every other forum out there. Let's just keep the current look. ive had a go at the banner and came up with this, tell me if you like it or if i should change a few things, and if you have adobe photoshop i can give the original (with layers) to you if you want to edit it. hopefully its attached. Sorry, I really don't like that one. It looks like some cheap-@ss ad for some cheap-@ss travel agency. The current banner isn't "too" bad. It looks bad, however because it doesn't stretch far enough. Shortly after we changed over to vBulletin, some one posted a really cool animated night/day banner that I thought fit the forum perfectly. That's what I'd like to see being used. EDIT: ...and I really, really hate that black look of the "keybase" forum. Really, really dislike when forums use that color scheme.

Hey, I agree with the statment that its too much "techy" and not enough "dreamy" But its WAY better than the crap we have now, and I love the banner and slogan that we have now. So why dont we just take a few hours an post the layout that Born 2 kill made up? i mean, it is better than what we have. It may not be "dreamy" but at least it's not "crappy". Born 2 kill

Haha, i thought that since everyone was making new site thingys i'd give it a go since i got Photoshop yesterday, its really awesome, btw this is not complete, its just in the works, i can change anything anyone wants, just let me know, i'd fancy a challenge Here it is so far, i don't agree with the moon next to the "D" and the mountains look a bit off to me but i'm open to improvements! I don't like it that much but i'm open to suggestions. EDIT: Sorry for the overly sizedness of it, i maybe made it too big, bare in mind i made this in the last half hour or so, sorry.
