Board themes
« on: July 11, 2016, 08:18:22 AM »
Craig and I had a bit of a chat, we've both been through some of the themes available for the boards, and nothing really jumps out at us.  I've loaded a few on both Pendragon and Karvis, but mainly just for some other options.  How good those options are is a matter of opinion.

So what we've agreed is to let you guys go through the theme site and if there are any you want loaded, post here and I'll install it.  This only applies to Karvis and Pendragon right now, I'll get the chosen themes installed on Altarka once it's been moved and upgraded.  The link I've provided below filters on themes supported by version 2.0.x of the boards.  If you click around and find one somewhere else, make sure it supports at least 2.0.2.

Edit:  Apparently the '[' the link is messing it up, might be better to copy/paste the link into your browser.

Maybe I am doing it wrong, but is there a way to get a preview of the theme on the site you linked, or how do I go about seeing what each one looks like?

Some of them provide decent screen shot(s), others not so much.

I was kinda partial to the Pagan theme layout for SW (green and black) . . . but I wasn't too keen on the thread icons (leering gargoyle faces).  The Splat layout has a neat color scheme hat might suit SW,

If you were planning on changing the Pendragon one, then my vote's for the Ancient and Rusted layout.

It's not an all or nothing thing, everyone can choose their own.

Just an FYI, I replaced the default logo at the top for the Black Rain v2 theme I loaded with a Star Wars logo I found, fits pretty well with the overall color scheme and looks fairly Star Wars-y.

I like that one, but it's harder to tell on my phone which topics are new...

Maybe just have the white one for new posts? The red is kinda harder to see...
