I just made a new set of staff badges for your approval Ken, hope you like them!


heres a sample, if you like them I will zip them up, let me know if I missed any :innocent:

Those look good Les. 

Soon we'll need to design some that will look good with the SMF Curve theme.

Thanks Ken, do you want them, or should I start on some for Curve?

Yes, we'll want to save these and maybe use them when we go to SMF2.0, although we may opt for something a little lighter for Curve... the 'stars' that Curve uses are actually little squares now with rounded corners and they look nice.

As for the Curve theme, as mentioned before I'm wanting to use a copy of it when we go to SMF2.0 and modify that copy and use it as our FF Default.

What are your thoughts on how we should develop/alter the theme?
I'm thinking some changes similar to what you did for Callisto, with board icons and a few things like that... nothing real heavy, but just enough to make it our own style.

But speaking of board icons, I really like the ones in use on TP just now.

That looks good Les. 

Here's my SMF2.0

Actually, I like the light blue colors that the Curve theme has and was thinking more along the lines of board icons and small banner images something along the lines of what we did on Callisto. By the time it's dressed up with a few subtle touches like that I think it will really pop.

If you go through the themes listed in my test site theme changer you'll see several variations on Curve and they look good, but all of them have kind of a dark tint to them. The only one that I kinda like is the "Chocolate Curvaceous variant by Antechinus" and it's way too dark, although We could make it available so that members could pick it if they wanted to. And we can do the same with any themes you work on and that way we can offer lots of choices for the membership.

Actually I didnt like the theme I done lol, I changed  it back now, but will have another go at it

[Lesmond (OP)]

Just playing around really, but I thought I would show you a new badge I come up with, I was thinking of curve when I made these btw

[Ken]

Good job Les.

Here's what it looks like in Curve.

Not showing for me, also getting some strange characters in the url to the img

The % in a URL is actually a space character.

[Lesmond (OP)]

ah yes I see it now

[Skhilled]

I forget if it is linux or windows servers (might be both?) but one of them don't translate the space so it adds a %.

[Lesmond (OP)]

OK I had a go at some staff badges for smf2 more lighter, and with rounded corners.

not sure about the colors, but they can easily be changed.

3 more in the next post cuz we can only have 3 to each post :innocent:
