RTG Alternate colour scheme for the message boards?

[Lewberry pie]

I like it as it is tbh, could do with an all black option for work though so it looks less fun haha

 

[Epping]

Can you base it on ling's cars

 

[Brian Griffin]

Can you make it look like an excel spreadsheet so we can use it more easily at work?

This is the only answer.

My thoughts exactly.

Bright orange with a hint of mandarin would look the biz.

I suppose I could.




(I was really looking for serious answers and opinions though. I guess the SMB wasn't the right place to ask )

I don't have a preference but reserve the right to grumble if I don't like it

The this above link just showed the same colours as now, ie a white background, black font, red trim - no change .

Its the image in the post by @xmfd you should be looking at, not the forum itself!

 

[Billy The Kid]

Black and red with white writing

Ah, found it now.. ( I just clicked the link, the pages were all collapsed on each other so had no idea I had to go hunting )

That's OK. Prefer that to the grey/ pale blue one on the second link.

Could have "work theme", "standard theme" and at a push a "dark theme" for the weirdos.

How about a touch of black like the shorts that go with our kit?

I like it just the way it is

The old board had a swap colour but I always stayed with the red and white.

The dark theme as the alternate, with a day count timer that makes it go darker and darker the longer you use it.

We just need a chameleon button to hit at a moment's notice

As many of you are aware, I am working on upgrading the message boards to the latest version of the Xenforo Forum software that we use and one of the consequences of this is that we have to completely re-work the skin/theme for the site.

My main aim is make minimal changes to how the site looks and feels, so the primary "Skin" will look very much like now. However, with the work being done, this is an opportunity to look at creating a second alternative theme for the board which has been requested by a number of people. So a darker coloured theme, or a plainer one suitable for work environments is under consideration.

Changes will be restricted to colours, so the layout on any alternate theme would remain similar and logos/sponsors/adverts would obviously remain but beyond that I am interested in what people might require or think would be best.

eg. a black and white theme with the colour taken out (not ideal for a Sunderland board IMO) - and if so predominantly dark or light?

a dark theme a bit like this

or something completely different like a plain blue and white Xenforo message board?

or what?

There will only be at most one alternative skin and this isn't a competition or poll, but I do want to sound out alternative ideas.

Can you make sure its not horrible for those of us who're colour blind.

Make it look exactly like technet forums. Ideally change the URL to something that sounds work related too.

Another vote for a dark theme, all the other apps I use at work are dark so it'll be less obvious I'm not working.
