Etrobian Default theme released

#1 » Post by Etro » 15 Sep 2014 21:02

Update 1:
  • Textures have been redone.
  • New post highlight has been changed. No more big yellow borders. Instead, in the post header, there is a "NEW POST" text.
  • Posts are now numbered
  • You can no longer see the title of the topic in every post nor choose a title for it on the quick reply section
  • A bit more friendly for small screens. The main headerbar will not scroll with you and the post actions buttons will be always visible if you use a small screen.
Thanks to Heihachi and the admins, I bring to you the Etrobian Default theme. This theme is the realisation of my vision of how the TrueWoW Ice theme (current and default theme, made by me and emsy) should have been from the very beginning. I worked a lot to make this happen, and I hope you all like it.

How to activate the theme:

Go to User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit Global Settings and in the 8th row, "My board style", select "Etrobian Default" and then press the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page.

Features:
  • Remastered textures
  • Quick global forums search submenu
  • Fixed header bar when scrolling
  • New header bar, logo and default avatar
  • Avatars can be displayed up to a maximum of 120 x 155 pixels (the TrueWoW Ice theme can only display avatars up to 100 x 100 pixels).
This is how it looks like:

The images messed up the news section of the homepage, they need to be reduced in size.

It was already fixed with an img width restriction. Maybe you have to clean your cache.

@Fastor: Thanks =D

Those yellow bars are only visible in posts you haven't read yet.

@ Keez and Arockalypse: Thanks guys =D

Maybe remove the extra thing and make it like the yellow stuff we have on default? (just the layer)

The TrueWoW Ice theme only uses yellow borders and I think that's a bit too subtle. I tried with some animations, but then, if there are too many unread posts at a time, it can slow down the browser considerably. So, I thought a little more width to those borders would do it.

If you guys don't like those yellow borders, I can take suggestions. I won't use images, though.

TBF I never really liked even the yellow coloring on the new posts but emsy said there was no way to disable it

There's definitely a way to disable it, change it, w/e you want.
