New Default Theme

Postby MaineRoadMemories » Wed Jun 19, 2013 8:28 pm

Fixtures are out, new season is approaching fast, excitement is growing and we're no longer champions and Mancini is not the manager. So the Champions theme of last season is now replaced with a new theme for 2013/14. Enjoy.

If you don't like it then you know what to do!

NICE

I think
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

There's no way you can change the transition speed between the images at the top? They go a bit too fast for my liking. It's disturbing.

Otherwise, really like the theme!

Does it hurt anyone else's eyes to look at? It's really....stark. Just an odd combination of colours. When it refreshes it almost *Blinks* and it reminds me of those Japanese Seizure bots from the simpsons episode.

Some things get tweaked to improve them. If this is the final version, I'll probably see if it grows on me for 2-3 weeks. If not, I'll revert. If there are a few tiny things that can be changed easily to make more people appreciate the hard work that MRM has put in, then I'm sure he won't mind the user feedback.

I wondered what was going on at first - I like it, nice contrast - I'm not squinting at the sig text now.

Any chance of getting rid of that 'share' shit at the right hand side. I'd stick with it then....

What's that 'Share' thing on the page, how do I get rid?

I'm not sure about the secondary background colour or the new quote screen with the large quote pics, it makes it hard to read.

I do like the white on dark though, makes it easy to read.

The regular blue poster names can be a little difficult to make out at times, but it's not a big issue for me (it might be just my screen for all I know). If it's a general problem rather than specific to me, the dark blue used in Beefy's sig (one post up from this) gives a decent contrast.

There need to be something to further differentiate the posts. At a quick glance, all of the text on the page appear to part of the same post.

other than that I actually really like this theme.

Posts are separated by a small gap on my screen, strange that you can't see it.
