Yes, I know it's been a while since I've added a new theme, last one was for new years and due to upgrade issues, it was removed a few weeks ago. But a new theme is here and it's called Blue World.

Click Here To View (http://www.gamers-forum.com/forum.php?styleid=20)

You can switch to the Blue World theme by scrolling all the way down the page and on the bottom left there should be a drop down box with the templates.

This hasn't been made the Default Theme for several reasons, including the unfinished job of fully customizing, a bad looking logo (yes I made it, well half of it) and I will feel more comfortable to ask the users later on in a poll asking which they would prefer to be the default that all new users and visitors view. Currently its Red & Silver.

If you have any questions about this new theme, please ask here. If anyone would like to make me a logo for this, I can give you the background image - all you have to do is ask :)

Enjoy it!

i am not good enough to code vbulletin themes yet :( i tried learning and failed due to lack of time to learn - i am better off modifying these things - that's what im doing with another theme now, should be up by tonight

i wanted to ask you guys if Blue World Stretches the screen for you guys, and what monitor size are you using.

I ask because some people's screens are getting stretched but I am fine, just need confirmation to if its just a select few or most people
Kujo
06-11-2008, 01:27 PM
The blue screen didnt but the dark theme seems to be stretching for me. Its fine except the log-out button can't be seen unless i scroll to the right just a bit. If i had to guess i'd say this was a 17" monitor i'm using atm.
rukisuto
06-11-2008, 01:33 PM
I have a HP w19e.
Does that mean I have a 19" monitor?
'Cause I'm not too sure, lol.

All I know is that I have a widescreen monitor.
It's at least 17".

But none of the themes are stretched for me.
LiNuX
06-11-2008, 02:02 PM
alright thanks, i gotta find what's stretching some themes for some people, and not affecting the other themes

they are all the same fluid size so its confusing
Kujo

So is that sentence!!

So is that sentence!!

fluid just means it fits the screen resolution, whether you are using 800x600 or 1024x768 - the fluid one will shrink or increase in size to fit the screen without stretching it

fixed is the opposite of fluid and its self-explanatory

I'm guessing there's a code that makes it fixed then..?
Whatever it is, hope you can fix it because everyone seems to like the new themes.

not code, its simple

in fixed, they specify the pixels in width in the css like 800px

in fluid, they put percentage, like 100%, this one is 97% i believe so it should take up only 97% of your screen width

I'm using a 1024x768 and both Dark and Blue World stretch.

I'm with kujo.
From the five seconds I saw blue world it fit fine, and so does the dark theme except for the links row at the top "home forum user cp etc etc" it scrolls a bit to the right.
I have 1024x768
maybe check the coding for that part? too many links could mean a page stretch even if the percentage is 100% or less.

its the same in red & Silver and that doesn't seem to stretch - i'll look into it

maybe my monitor is too big lol

Well, that makes sense.

It's definitely weird to change from Dark GF to Blue World.

That might just do the trick.
I know my head hurts after a day of dealing with people ordering cakes.
People turn into idiots when they enter a bakery.. seriously, lol.
