Title: New forum skin!
Description: Hope you like it...

I have been searching for a forum skin around the net, so it wouldnt look so Invision'ish. And i found this! Plus i added a new custom logo to the forums.
Its grey, and a little darker, which i know many of you guys like. So enjoy! :D

yeah it's better then the previous one :D
FunkMaestro - February 18, 2004 01:41 PM (GMT)
Yeah, i knew YOU would like it. Know we just need a skilled (better than me) graphics dude to change the light-blue buttons. But maybe i can find some on the net.

Some may notice that some of the buttons now have the right color, while some others are still blue. Im sorry for the confusion, but they are just there to i get all the others up and running, and those not existing made! The package i downloaded didnt contain stuff like "Fast Reply" nor "! Report" so i have to make them myself. Please also bear in mind that everything from small dots to big buttons have custom images, so it will take time. Dont get confused!

whawha, youre right, i hope your still working on it, but its a great skin :D
Angelus - February 18, 2004 06:00 PM (GMT)
well the buttons look great though!
FunkMaestro - February 18, 2004 07:47 PM (GMT)
^ Yeah they are not all there yet, but its close.
EDIT: Added some more... well, tried to do a blurry version of the forum marker but it turned out pretty bad. Well, we have to live with it just know.
And i also replaced all the orange x ranks with some grey x's i found on the internet.
EDIT 2: Well, the icons in front of each forum has now been edited, except for the "Leaders Discussion" icon. The arrow icon infront of the creativity zone i made myself. Plus when there's no new posts, they turn dark. Those versions i made too.
So when there's new posts in a forum the icons will light up.

great job Funk.... it's getting better and better...
FunkMaestro - February 19, 2004 07:07 PM (GMT)
All forum markers are done! I just put a lock on the normal forum markers, and made two, one dark, one light. All there's left now is those small blue arrows and such. No big deal. Wonder if i even have to change them.
Angelus - February 20, 2004 10:49 AM (GMT)
yea good job Funk! the forums look great
FunkMaestro - February 20, 2004 12:45 PM (GMT)
Basically all the buttons and markers we use are gone now. The arrow down ín front of topics with new replys is no longer light-blue. The maker infront of the title that says "-=FoS=- Clan Forums" is no longer light-blue. All theres left is that little blue thing with a document on it at the bottom of every topic. I dont even know if its worth changing.
Angelus - February 20, 2004 01:54 PM (GMT)
well the only thing that i dont like is the "new message" button.. i liked the old one mych more
FunkMaestro - February 20, 2004 02:33 PM (GMT)
^ What button exactly? Plus the old ones were blue!!! I mean that wouldnt have been better...
Angelus - February 20, 2004 06:09 PM (GMT)
yea i know, but i mean the white button with a black arrow on it
FunkMaestro - February 20, 2004 08:08 PM (GMT)
^ Oh right. I made that real quick in paint because i had no other. But i might replace it, as its HELLA ugly.
Angelus - February 20, 2004 08:21 PM (GMT)
yeah maybe u can put the old blue one their but that u do the blue part black
FunkMaestro - February 20, 2004 09:10 PM (GMT)
^ Yeah.. i'll try. Or try something else... just got an idea!
You like my replacement?
Angelus - February 21, 2004 06:01 PM (GMT)
i still see the white arrow.. or isnt that the replacement
FunkMaestro - February 21, 2004 07:09 PM (GMT)
When you complained it was an ugly notepad like white thing with a blue arrow on it. now its a round dot like the forum markers (they match) with a black arrow in it.
Angelus - February 21, 2004 09:40 PM (GMT)
ohw yea i see! but didnt that change thin work? with the blue button, to make it black
FunkMaestro - February 21, 2004 09:43 PM (GMT)
naah.. because not just blue. its different shades of blue, with a gradient at the sides and such. very special, and would require to make an entire new button.
Angelus - February 23, 2004 03:19 PM (GMT)
aaah i see.. well the button we have nbow is much better than the old one
fireblade - February 24, 2004 07:14 PM (GMT)
the forum is much better then the old one, the colors blinded me :P
FunkMaestro - February 24, 2004 07:19 PM (GMT)
^ Dont exadurate!!! :D
Its the same forum.. it just have a new look. But same forum.
Thats the mistake General and Revan made. They liked the proboards better because these were too bright and had "gay" colors. They didnt even care about which forums technology was best, or which one had the best features. And now i made it look darker!! So we have both a better look, and a better forum!
FunkMaestro - February 28, 2004 09:24 PM (GMT)
Added another feature... when you are watching/reading a topic you can see if other members are ALSO reading it at the same time.
Muse - February 28, 2004 09:27 PM (GMT)
that's really really cool!
Angelus - February 29, 2004 09:18 AM (GMT)
FunkMaestro - February 29, 2004 03:19 PM (GMT)
The last button/graphic (i hope) has just been uploaded and placed.. its the topic history button (next to the "Pages (2) 1 [2]" stuff in the bottom of a topic).
And please also note a feature that has been here all the time (but not told about):
The birthday event marker. Configure your actual birthday in your profile, and when your birthday arrives, it will be announced at the bottom of the forums (where the statistics are).
And other than that:
Just generally use the calendar, and remember to check it once in a while. The admins will post events like wars and such there. And upcoming birthdays will of course be there.

ok Funk, well the war against DLO will be next week saturday 13 march, time will be arranged but i won't be there.. cuz i have a birthday party of a friend! but i wish u all of luck!
FunkMaestro - March 3, 2004 02:59 PM (GMT)
Good. Edited the calendar...
