Member Forum Themes

Recommended Posts

if possible, would one of the moderators list each element involved in the design of the forum theme and supply the dimensions of each element? i would like to create a custom theme for the forum.

 

things like banner dimensions, and icon sizes, etc...

 

maybe you could do this separately in a new thread, so that all members who would like to design a theme to be used may do so. this is a community, right? i would like to contribute. :D

Hi thanks for the offer, but at the moment we are not changing or re designing the forum. In the future yes, but for now no.

Well, I don't think he was asking because he had any plans of implementing them. Some people just get enjoyment out of that like i get enjoyment out of writing long walls of text nobody with a lack of patience wants to read! (Which I'm okay with, guys, really, it's cool!)

 

Just giving my two cents, wouldn't be bad to give him those details, would it? I dunno, it might be! I'm just a regular forum lamb here not anyone relevant or important. (at least not yet but shhhh! :0  )

 

Also if people can apply client side skins I think that'd be neat. I guess being the creative fella I am I just don't think we should waste a member's chance to contribute! Even if they are never used it's pretty clear he's enthusiastic about it.

As Kaz mentioned above, this is something we will be looking for in the future but right now have no need of.

 

Right now we're waiting for Invision to release a new version of the forums which from what I've been reading is completely rearchitected. Meaning, that everything is different under the hood and will not be compatible with anything from the previous version.

 

dbchest, if you are still interested, be aware that skinning a forum can get pretty involved and has many moving parts. It is all mainly CSS and HTML with relatively few actual images. Below is a pretty decent resource but it is out dated.

it makes sense to hold out until the update pushes through. we can see where that takes us and go from there.
