Topic: @Les... New Theme!

[Ken (OP)]

Hey Les... looks like we've just found our next theme. 
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=forum;theme=74

I've already started working on some of the edits for credits and the like, are you up for designing a new 'Our FamilyForum' logo to replace the 'Calliope' that's in place now?

I'm going to try the existing member badges to see how they work with this theme.

Sorry Ken I have been helping my daughter move house, so been busy the last few days, but I will have a look at the logo for you, is there a psd for the theme do you know?

[Ken (OP)]

Thanks for looking Les... And, RL always comes first!  :2thumbs:


The only file I'm finding so far is the logo.png, don't see that Bloc has one available for download yet.

[Lesmond]

ok had a go here is what I have :beg:

I love the header but think there should be more of it incorporated into the rest of the theme instead of just the colors from it. I'm talking about the images in the header.

EDIT: Also, in FF you cannot see some of the menu items like "Contact Us" and "Logout". They are still there  but just the same color as the background.

[Lesmond]

Thats what I tried to do with the logo, take some color from the theme.

[Skhilled]

Read my last post, I edited it.

What you did with the logo is not an issue. That is great! I'm talking about the theme itself. Should have more of the header images in somewhere else too like the catbg or something.

If you scroll down the page or read a post you can't tell this theme from any other one. Nothing stands out.

[Ken (OP)]

It's looking good with the new logo, thanks Les. 

Steve, you may be right about the bg... is there a way that we could try to have the image repeated so that we could take a look and see if we like it that way?

[Lesmond]

Yes I see that now Steve, if I minimize my FF some of the menu drops below, and it cant be seen!

I'll post about this on BlocWeb to see if there is anything that can be done to correct that issue.

[Skhilled]

I think you can do it in the style.css...if I remember correctly. LOL

I'm not sure what it is but just think there should be more color or something to it somewhere so if you post or scroll down you can easily tell what theme this is. Make it stand out a bit more.

My screen is not minimized but is an old monitor at 1024x768

Oh well...past my bed time. LOL

I thought I would try something with the logo, not sure if it looks right, but here you go!

[Ken (OP)]

Trying the larger one now.

[Ken (OP)]

And now the smaller one.

To me the small version looks better, but I wonder if it would look better if the scroll work extended across the top... or would that be too much?

[Lesmond]

I think it looks better without the background actually Ken, IMHO

[Lesmond]

Oh and heres the Pandora logo for you :innocent:

[Ken (OP)]

Yepp... me too.  :08:


I'll change it back.

Ps: Moved this topic to Code & Stuff, I should posted it there to begin with.
