New Theme :: Dark GF

[LiNuX]

This is the second theme added this month making a total of three full and working templates for the forum. This one is called Dark GF because, it's Dark!

It is a decent theme and if your monitor brightness is really bright, then the blue may hurt your eyes somewhat but I am fine with this. If you do not like this theme, you can always select from another active theme.

Click here to View Dark GF (http://www.gamers-forum.com/forum.php?styleid=21)

To change to this theme, scroll all the down the page and on the bottom left you should see a drop down box that will let you toggle between themes. Select Dark GF and watch it change the look of the whole forum for you.

You can also do this in USER CP by Going to Edit Options (http://www.gamers-forum.com/profile.php?do=editoptions) And scrolling down to "Forum Skin" and changing it there.

If the colors bother you somewhat just let me know and I'll see if I can change them up in the CSS.

Enjoy this theme - one of three complete themes you can choose from now.

Oh, how nifty!
Great job LiNuX, did you make the banner?

I think I might give it a shot for a while.
I'm not really sure if I can read dark themes, lol.

not the background, the text is mine though, very simple and 6 layers lol

[rukisuto]

Still, it looks really good.
Text effects are not my strong suite, lol.

[LemonRising]

love this one D:

the light blue is lovely I did a website in this theme once.lol

I like the font in the banner but it seems a bit crowded behind it.
o:
I like how it trails off though. nice.

[LiNuX]

Still, it looks really good.
Text effects are not my strong suite, lol.

just the font is perfect for it - the font actually came with the theme and he recommended it goes best lol, so i tried it out - called addcityboy - and the rest is just gradient and the 6 layers are the same, each is just 1 point lower in the Y axis than the other - i would have made like 10 layers but it doesn't look good past 6 lol

[jakncoke]

Dark sucks but cool your adding new ones... Blue is pretty good, I think I'm going use it for awhile seeing Silver and Red is old news.

yeah i plan to add on two more to make it 5 full templates users can choose from - hopefully the 5th one will be my own design lol - save the best (worst) for last

[Samus-Fan]

I love the dark one. If only the blue was a green, It would look much better.

I think I'll stick with this one until I see what other themes come along.

lol, im gonna see what green works with this - i like the idea because this theme reminds me of our old SMF theme which was dark with green links instead of the blue that we have

gonna see if i can get the shade for that - thanks for reminding me in a subtle way

[KittyCat72]

The dark theme is wicked awesome! I'm going to use it all the time... greens would be cool too. I don't really like the banner for this one right now.

[wifi]

im using this theme, tried out the blue one, didn't like it too much but its alright, love the dark :-P

[conman1000]

The dark is awesome, I'm going to use it for a while. The smiley^^^ up there does look a bit demented though.

[Kujo]

I like the black... very nice. I would make one change tho...

use that kick ass banner that Ruki made with the 3 game folks in it. I think that would scream "badass"

[rukisuto]

It wouldn't look half bad, lol.
I would use the theme :]

A green text would probably go better with the top.

[Iceskater101]

wow I really like this new darkness one. Its beast. :)

[KittyCat72]

I thought that banner would look pretty good with this one too.

[LiNuX]

i'll see if i can switch it up later

its a 100 degree in my house with no water, perks of living in a huge apartment, they decide to do repairs on a day you need water - i couldn't even take a shower and i can't do anything lol, frustrating

[KittyCat72]

Lol, that sucks... well can't wait till you're able to change it.

[diablo]

dark theme looks great, i am using it right now, and i agree about making it green, will be like the old theme we had a year ago

[rukisuto]

BTW, I love the updated notifications.
Now I know when I have profile comments, friend requests, and whatnot.
Instead of just donations.

I wasn't sure if it just came with the dark GF theme.
I don't remember it on the other themes.

oh, thanks, i added those in manually - the thing is, the red & silver theme is just an old old theme, it won't read it properly :( otherwise it would have been here on the day i upgraded to 3.7.0 - its also available in blueworld

[Blackbird]

What about changing the link colour? :)

[LiNuX]

the new logo has been added courtesy of Rukisuto - thanks a lot :)

[rukisuto]

the new logo has been added courtesy of Rukisuto - thanks a lot :)

Yay :]
I've always wanted to have one of my banners on this forum.

[KittyCat72]

It's cool... looks awesome now. ;-)

[LiNuX]

Yay :]
I've always wanted to have one of my banners on this forum.

so im going to take this off the poll for the blue world theme, do you mind? cuz i don't want more than one logo on two themes lol, then its not completely different

i'll only do it with your consent

edit: i tried out the whole green thing, i am not sure if I am using a good shade so if anyone can comment on that, i'd appreciate it - and if anyone can recommend a shade with a hexadecimal code, that'll be awesome :)

thanks!

[Kujo]

Um, I'm sure I will catch a lot of flak for this, but why did you change the font color to this ugly green? The blue just fit soo much better. I understand if the color reminded you of your bird, and trust me, I am sorry for your loss, but couldn't you have just like, changed your theme instead of changing the colors of this one?

[LemonRising]

I have a green shade suggestion o:

one sec let me get the hex value..

#CCFF33

#99CC00
or this one

basically this kind of green o: the first one is lighter and the second one is darker.

I like the yellow-green.
I think that would look better :]

Heh, there's also some blue graphics left like the folders and the top bar.

uh..we were discussing this before that incident and i am still testing around with the colors and if nothing works well, i'll just revert the css, no big deal - just need some test times

i'll try that out in a bit and see how it goes thanks

the graphics are there i know lol, but i am not really finalized with the colors yet, later on when something is done, I'll just use PS to change the colors

edit: well i changed it and now i think a shade of blue would do the trick more than trying to make it greenish lol

i forgot what shade the old smf theme was - i dont even have a back up on this computer to check but that green just fit perfectly

Hm, I like this green.
But if you're going to go back to blue, I say just use the blue you had before or maybe a couple shades lighter.

I liked it :]

[LiNuX]

yeah the blue seemed calmer and went with the darkness

the theme creator made a lot of themes so he knows what works unlike me lol

[Blackbird]

This Dark GF Theme is better now. What about using it index page? :)

[LemonRising]

either look nice o:
but I think the blue def. made it look 'fresher'

I favour both that blue and this green XD;
even check my profile ;D hahaa~

either one I'm fine with lol

[LiNuX]

i might just make a copy of the them and make that with the original color and keep this green and allow people to use whichever they like

[LemonRising]

O: that'd be cool.
I COULD CHANGE DAILY.
8D
Im totally for that option Linux XD

[LiNuX]

i never duplicated a template without problems lol, but i'll try it out tomorrow and see if i can - well technically later on today since its 2:18 am lol, but whenever i get to it :)

[rukisuto]

I like that option :]
Hopefully you can set it up without any problems.

Green = win, lol.

[Samus-Fan]

I love this green! It's super amazing (IMO), but I think it's just because I think black and green kick butt

[LemonRising]

yuh yuh
hopefully it works XD;
If anyon can make it work its you Linux >:U

And take your time (:

[Kujo]

I must be color blind... because i'm seeing yellow with the dark theme! Am I on drugs?? I could have sworn I stopped taking those tabs of LSD months ago!

Oh well, I support the duel-dark theme option where one has blue text and the other this yellow/green thing depending on your choice of drug abuse.

[LemonRising]

it's a yellow-green o:

you know, I've heard that before when I've used this colour. One person will usually go "it's yellow" D:?
So get off the drugs Kujo >:[___]

[Kujo]

I can stop whenever I want to... i just don't feel like it right now!! STOP YELLING AT ME!!!!

[LiNuX]

The Blue version of Dark GF Can now be selected, it is titled Dark GF (blue)

The Yellow/Green Text will remain the primary one for now.

Let me know if anything troubles you in either themes.

~LiNuX

[Samus-Fan]

Good idea LiNuX, making it a choice between colors to stop arguing on which color to use. And I haven't experienced any trouble on either one.

[conman1000]

Don't know why, but my computer upstairs stretches all the themes except for Silver and red and Default, and this one doesn't stretch at all.

[LiNuX]

Don't know why, but my computer upstairs stretches all the themes except for Silver and red and Default, and this one doesn't stretch at all.

its a mystery - they should all act the same way because the width is basically the same

i dont think i can fix this issue :( its fine for me on all my computers at home and i tested on a 19", 17", 15.4", and a 15"

[Kujo]

You have too many computers/monitors in your house!

[LiNuX]

You have too many computers/monitors in your house!

i do lol, but 3 of them are built computers - the monitors i had from before, just use them - the 15" is from my server

i have 3 laptop's too, only the 15.4" inch is the laptop - couldn't try the other two cuz they are giving me problems

im a tech guy....

[GF Eric]

I like this one the best. It is my favorite theme.

[rukisuto]

I like this one the best. It is my favorite theme.

Me too.
It's very slick, I like it.
Can't wait for the two different colors.
The green is the best :]

[Iceskater101]

yeah I was using the blue world theme but I like this theme better.

[LiNuX]

Me too.

i already set that up long before your post lol, check the theme selection

Dark GF is the regular yellow/green one

Dark GF (Blue) is the blue one, original color

[Iceskater101]

actually I like the yellow green one better dont know why... but I do

[Eric]

i already set that up long before your post lol, check the theme selection

Dark GF (Blue) is the blue one, original color

Now hop to it on changing those blue folder icons and crap!

JK :p

[LiNuX]

JK :p

lol i forgot about those, will get to it soon - this weekend probably

[Eric]

lol i forgot about those, will get to it soon - this weekend probably

You might wanna consider the groups colors too with the dark theme. Like Gmod, its dark red, doesn't show up well. It's not a big deal, just thought i'd mention it :p

[LiNuX]

gmod is brown and i can only change it globally, and since we have only 1 gmod on here, i'll let him pick a color if he feels like changing lol

[Eric]

Hmm guess it is.. looks like a dark red haha.. :p

[Kujo]

I'm a tech guy too... but my pockets dont run deep enough to have THAT much nerd stuff. You're like my idol Linux. Will you be my daddy?!!?


PS: I am still mad that my link/button bar thingy is still stretching!

[LiNuX]

PS: I am still mad that my link/button bar thingy is still stretching!

sure i will - i'll get to getting those adoption papers, could take a while

and sorry about the stretching, i still don't know what could be causing them, i'll try a few things

i just got home and im exhausted lol, gonna relax for a bit and then return

[Kujo]

But daddy!!! i want it to be fixed NOW!!!! Buy me an ice cream! Can we go to the park? I want a pony for my birthday. Where is mommy?? And why are you always hanging out with Auntie Jackie? Why would you eat dinner with mommies sister and not mommy??

[LiNuX]

it'll be fixed in time son, patience is a virtue

when the ice cream truck gets here, you can have 5 of them

ponies aren't real, i'll get you an unicorn

mommy is at her mommy's house

Auntie Jackie is a guy, its Uncle Jack now

Mommy's sister helped me make my bed this morning so its only fair I treated her to dinner

there, answered all your questions!

[Kujo]

So, Uncle jack is mommies new sister? Why was he/she in your bed?!?!?!

Also, can my unicorn have a rubber horn just in case i want to play with him/her when ur not around and you leave the yucky tasting jelly out that i found on uncle jacks bed side table?

no, it was auntie Eve

and yeah, rubber horn...

now back on topic please :) thx lol, getting kinda off topic and really spammy lol

[Samus-Fan]

Lol, Little Kids these days..

Just wanted to mention how much I love this theme! I dunno if anything beats this

[wifi]

the green looks great, would choose this over blue any day

[LiNuX]

glad you all like it :) i changed up all the images to the green and along with the missed links

let me know if you guys find something that doesn't fixed, i wouldn't be surprised if i missed something

and if you guys still can't see the changes, clear your browser cache and try again, i had the same problem the first five minutes :)

[rukisuto]

The background images for the top of the forum and the headers of the topic replies are still blue.

[LiNuX]

The background images for the top of the forum and the headers of the topic replies are still blue.

the little dot looking things? i've never seen them until you mentioned it lol

will see what images those are lol, weird

[LemonRising]

lol here's something interesting.
In the blue version the folders at the top are green now.

[LiNuX]

lol here's something interesting.
In the blue version the folders at the top are green now.

yes i know lol, i realized that last night, gotta find a way to fix it because both versions are sharing the same images

don't have the time today so it will have to wait a day or two - i was hoping not many would notice :-P

[LemonRising]

XD haha I understand. I figured it was something like that anyways.

I noticed.
I NOTICE EVERYTHING LINUX >:UUU

[LiNuX]

XD haha I understand. I figured it was something like that anyways.

I noticed.
I NOTICE EVERYTHING LINUX >:UUU

oh, then i can't let you see me in real life, u'll probably point out every thing about me lol

[LemonRising]

lol well I only do that if I don't like you.
Now the question is, do I like you or not? ;DD

I jest, I jest

[LiNuX]

well that was tougher and longer than i thought lol - i just finished separating both files from both dark gf themes - was hard making them think they are two different but i did it

let me know if I missed some images or if the colors don't look right - the blue version should be fine because I didn't have to touch it - the green one is the one that had to be manipulated

and today would be the time to do it because i am not saving the PSDs to any of these lol - well not yet at least, im keeping Photoshop open all day just in case i missed stuff

[rukisuto]

let me know if I missed some images or if the colors don't look right - the blue version should be fine because I didn't have to touch it - the green one is the one that had to be manipulated

The green is kind of off in the images; it should be more yellow-green.
The top green is more seafoam green and the header backgrounds are a darker green.
I hope I'm not being nit picky or anything, lol.

[glenofimaal]

i like the red and silver one better

guess i'm just used to it

[LiNuX]

i used the same hexadecimal - care to provide me with a better one that might fit? lol - opacity is 20% for the little green lines there with the same color code

i tried different shades and they all look ugly - im bad picking colors

I colored the two to match the theme.

Ohh, I thought it was only two.

The first is for the topic headers.
The second is for the top of the page.

What was the third one?

[LiNuX]

i uploaded them here

they are small but they are there lol

[rukisuto]

I put them in the same order.

Well, it's still the same green except I made it duller.

[rukisuto]
