Cast Your Vote for Board Styles

Post by DrSpooky »

We're looking at changing a few things on the board - colors, etc., so go here and let me know what you think would be good ideas. Post them here.

Talk amongst yourselves. :)

Will take a closer look at these later. On first glance, definitely not "nose bleed". verena would run screaming in terror.

Honestly, most of those are vile. Maybe a few of the "Glass" ones (BlueGlass, RedGlass, etc.), with the black background?

I think most would probably prefer to stick with the current look as default, but having a few other options would be nice.

I suppose it's always a question of being used to something.
I've seen about half of them so far - some are terrible, some - pretty good, but none of them made me very enthusiastic.

I thought the same thing when I looked at them long ago. :)

I am still open to adding some more styles if people are interested.

I glanced at a few at random, and frankly, none seemed better than what I'm looking at right now. It's fairly functional as it is. Substance over style, don't you know. I say leave it as is, but I'm just one man.

I also like the basic design as it is. Wouldn't mind a colour change so long as it was not too glary or drab.

It might be good to have as an option one of the styles that shows the ''Who Is Online" bit at the top, such as Fission.

Jaysus there's a lot of 'em.

Just checking out a bunch of these (nearly 50 from A to C alone!) I'd say the most legible alternatives are ones like 'Graphite' which are similar to what we have now but just add another tone/color or two, which helps distinguish without being busy; or one of the dark background ones, somehting like 'Charcoal,' or 'FS Dark,' or 'Explosion Dark'. The 'Comicbook' one is a hoot!

Really fucking disappointing that they support 2 called 'Clanzdarkness' which feature a bombed-out town with a prominent swastika. Who are these people?

Doc can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we're talking about adding options for those who wish to have a different look, rather than changing the default style of the board.

Right. These would just be alternatives for those who want to use them. There is some customization to the Subsilver style we are using that would have to be redone for each alternative style but that shouldn't be that hard.

I'm for the one that features film stills from the Misty Mundae classic Spider Babe.
