Theme Silent Wave - Please Read

[DaveM]

Please have a look at this theme as I am thinking of changing this to be our base theme for the forum because of the coding issues I am having with the other themes. What I would like to do is have different versions of this theme for us to choose from as we have now. So please have a look at this theme and give me some feedback on this. What I would like to know is what changes you would like to see (different versions of this one)

So :y138: give me feedback :y18:

That's a pretty cool theme.

It makes seeing the places where you have unread posts extremely easy to see.

 

[DaveM]

Any changes from you side on this one :y18:

 

[Merlin]

Dave been playing with this theme and all cool from my side :y18:

 

[DaveM]

Ok changes from my side :y18:

1. The text needs to be a bit bigger
2. I would like to see “my post†under unread at the top right

The text is definitely too small. It does not fill the screen. The layout is good. I would prefer one that fills out the screen. Can this one be made to do that?

 

[Merlin]

1. was wondering why I still had my glasses on ..

Agree text must be bigger for us young folk ...... :smile:

 

[DaveM]

Carl I would imagine those will be small things to do so I am sure we will get around then quite easily :y18:

 

[avion]

Think I'm gonna switch over to this theme. Very neat and tidy.

You could +1 the text. Otherwise seems fine Dave.

...

 

[DaveM]

I am now using it as well I really like it and with a few tweaks we may have a winner here :y18:

 

[devo]

yup, is certainly livable IF you can increase the text size to match the text in the side menus.
If I hit "increase text size in my browser" ( safari ) it increases all the text and the side menus go way oversize.

:y18:

 

[DaveM]

Here are some of the changes we are looking at so far.

1. Post font size to be able to be increased by member say three different sizes selectable by user.
2. Page width changed from current width to full screen selectable by user.
3. Would like to see “my post†under unread at the top right as you have on your site
4. Remove the water effect from top and bottom panels and just have it plain
5. Need to be able to install the theme in 5 different colour schemes or have colours selectable by user.
6. And most important it must be compatible to be upgraded to SMF V2

Colours will be

1. Original as it is now
2. Light Blue
3. Silver
4. ????
5. ????

So we still have two colours to fill so what should they be :y18:

 

[Silli]

Looks good.

I agree with the others regarding text size and page width........

:happy:

 

[avion]

4 = black
5 = pitch black.

...

 

[DaveM]

Ok so we now have the following colours one left open still

1. Original as it is now
2. Light Blue
3. Silver
4. Black
5. ????

 

[CarlS]

Does Lioness want her pink color?

 

[DaveM]

I suppose she would but I don’t think many people will use it besides her, so I would rather go for another more used colour if requested :y18:

 

[The Seeker]

I'm not very particular about what Theme I am using, but just to make you aware...


When using the Silent Wave theme, text links remain the same color (gray) as the text in a post so you can't really tell what words are links. Browser preferences are overridden by the Style Sheet so they don't get underlined either.

I assume this gray is used because the topic names you click on will be gray to fit the theme, but it makes seeing links inside the text of a post impossible.

 

[DaveM]

Ok I will keep this in mind when we do the changes :y115:

 

[DaveM]

I have increased the font size so please have a look and see if this is now ok :y18:
