Hey all! So now that I'm done with exams I have enough free time to tackle some things I just couldn't justify working on before. One of those was getting up the new skins. Admittedly, I was actually waiting on Shu to get me the final graphics for the skins, but he's busy and I don't want to wait anymore.

 

So first, note that these skins can kind of be considered works in progress and the banners and other graphics might change. We might also make other small tweaks. If you have any suggestions, you're free to share them, but I make no promises about actually following up on any of them. (As a note, we're not looking for skin suggestions, as we already have 4 more planned and it'll take some time before we get those up... and we can only do so much work).

 

Next thing to note is that I wanted the Nohr skin to be a darker skin overall but due to how the skinning system for this forum software is set up I found that it didn't look good when I made things really dark. So both themes are the same general light theme, just with a few different main colors (red vs. purple really) and different banners.

 

How To Change Your Skin

 

- Scroll down to the very bottom and check the bottom-left. Provided you are logged in, you should see something called "Change Theme". Click on it to choose from one of the three available themes.

 

"The banners look bad! These graphics should be more Fire Emblem-y! Bla bla bla!"

 

- It's a work in progress. But I think having something up besides just the blue skin is better than nothing, so that's why we're going with this. Even the banners are a WIP and I just didn't want to wait on Shu anymore. He might actually get upset at me for using these ones, but then again it's Shu, so idk and it's his fault for taking so long, I can only be "that guy" and pester him so much before I risk him telling me off for being so annoying lol

 

Uh I guess that's it, let me know if anything comes up...

no one wants to hear about your SF crap yeah that's what I was talking about in the post, I wanted that one but it didn't work out since people like you are too sensitive and quick to criticize *shot*

I'm assuming these skins are going to get the gradients of the default skin later on?

or something more if Shu feels like being creative about it I guess

Not unless Shu is willing to do it because at the very least, I am lazy and incompetent. And I'm pretty sure Shu is at least lazy. i gave him access to do what he wants, so it comes down to effort really. For now though it's pretty much just graphics  like the topic icons and the banner that I'm thinking will be changed eventually. Maybe. Again, it's really all up to Shu, I kinda did my part XP

Hmm I think I'm gonna stick to the New Age Theme. The new ones are cool but I don't think the colors mesh together overall. And, yes I read it's a work in progress, just posting some feedback, or harsh criticism take it as you wish. I'll probably wait until Shu releases the final graphics.

Cool to see that the forum is getting some of the old features back :Dnow we just need the member Icons and we're back to normal.

Eh well meh, I'm not a pro skinner and that's pretty vague critique so I'm not going to do anything about it XD. patience, I don't know how to code member icon functionality, so unless someone with PHP knowledge wants to help me, it's probably going to be a while yet. first I have to learn a programming language, THEN after what will probably several hours of struggling, I might be able to implement it, lolol

I think I like the Hoshido one of all three so far.  The Nohr one has a bit too much dark/light dichotomy for my enjoyment.  The purple/white just doesn't work.  The pink in the Hoshido theme is a bit distracting but it holds together better than the other two.

 

New Age is alright except it's a bit bland...no fault of Blazer's but blue is well overdone for forum colours.  I think chrome grey will probably be the next to go this way.

Is there some kind of template out there for this forum format, I want to see how limited the options for customizing it is. (whether I'll ever be assed to do enough graphics for it to contribute if it were ever necessary is another matter.)

yeah I tried to fix that about Nohr and it didn't work, so I had to settle for this >_>; the pink I could maybe fix but it'd be a job better suited to someone with a better grasp of theming (I don't think it's Shu's specialty but even he'd probably be better than me so maybe I'll ask him to fiddle with it)

 

New Age is pretty much just the default theme haha we gotta get a new banner up for it and replace the icons, not sure what else we could do. I agree blue is pretty common though, maybe too common. I wish I had some guidance/help here, this just isn't one of my strong points XD. What do you mean by that last line about chrome grey though? Didn't quite grasp your intended meaning there

umm not really, I mean there's a CSS file (or a bunch of them, maybe) somewhere... there's also a way to edit skins by just changing the colors and stuff but it's limited in that you can't change much more than colors and you can't change the color of every element on the skin (which was a problem). sadly I can't really show you that without giving you admin access, which isn't something I'm willing to do, sorry :(

I asked mainly because Serenesforest uses the same format, so I figured it wasn't built up from scratch or something like that. I have tried to make websites before that could do some more fancy things, but that was all tool-assisted with little code editing

Light-ish grey colours are often used currently and I suspect that in a few years they'll be old hat in the same way blue tones are right now.

Feels wierd deciding on a theme, when I'm rather in the dark about each and the game not being out yet, and not wanting to investigate more trying to avoid potential spoilers. lol I have been a large fan of purple for a long time now though, so I might go with that one.

ahh okay, I hadn't really noticed/wasn't really aware of the former, but that makes sense

 

 

we're not using this skin per se, the forum software is IP.Board though which is also what SF uses, yes—naturally I'm not capable of building up such a capable forum software from scratch XD. I could get the skin you linked to (or another one) if people wanted it... and if I had the money
