New style for the SHP forums

I have been working on developing a new style for the SHP forums. I am trying to make it in keeping with the main SHP site. It is functional, but is not quite ready, so I have not set it as the default style. If you want to get a preview of it or even start using it, go to your User Control Panel to set your style to SHP.

I have to get used to it, but - so far - I'm liking it! :D

I like it... it's bright and easy for the eyes. The colors are cool :)

My only complaint is the width of the board. Not quite as wide as I'd like it to be. Means too much scrolling up and down on the index.. :oops:

I agree with Misslilo and I add also that the "X", "Y", "A" are not my favorite signals for new posts/no new posts/etc. :D

But the general look is indeed good and less stressing for the eyes ;)

The graphics are what I want to change the most. I would like to have it wider, myself. I still need to tweak the CSS more. It will be a while before it is ready, since I will not be able to work much more on it until the weekend.

Since the graphics are what you want to change - have you considered sort of using what BLACK PEARL does? Use the Sierra Logo. Gold for no new messages, read for new messages.

Am I the only one who actually prefers light text on dark backgrounds? I switched back to the old style for my account (well, I think it's the old style).

It's slightly easier on the eyes with The Black Pearl.

This probably just needs a little more tweaks for ease of reading.

I am more used to it today... not sure if you made more tweaks? Doesn't seem as white? I think you made the border around it grey? It helps.

I liked the darker version (black pearl) myself.

I think I just have a white aversion.

Anyone that likes Black Pearl can set it back their User Control Panel.
