There was things I also didn't like about the old theme. It's impossible to please everyone....

And about being bright, I wasn't the only one asking for a ligher theme, Hans said the same thing about the old theme being too dark and gloomy, which I have to agree.

And the chat bar is still bugged, I've disabled it for a reason. The bug is that the chat windows are not updating. So if someone talks to you, you won't get any notification and you won't see their message unless you minimize the window and open it again. THe same happens if you send a message to them, it will not appear in the window unless you minimize it and open it again.

its not about bright or dark which I am talking about, this theme actually looks like a grey page with some text...it looks incomplete...

in previous theme we had purple/pink bars...here we just have lines...it just looks too blank....

and the logo...I dont know why you changed it, it seemed much perfect as compared to the newer one

This theme has a grey background so of course it looks like a grey page with text . While the other theme had a black background which looked like a black page and some text. Same thing, only thing that changes is the background. Although if you want we can change the line that separates the replies from black to purple/pink, but imo it's doesn't look that good, we can try it though if you like. It's also possible to change the lines into bars.

About the logo, I also like this one better, since it looks a little less serious and brighter. There was also people who didn't like the old logo before and there will be people who won't like this one too, like I said, can't please everyone. But overall, the point of this theme was to make the forum cleaner, simpler and less cluttered while also making it ligher and less depressing. Imo this theme makes the forum look tidier.

That's your opinion, there's also people that like this logo better than the old one and like the old theme better than the new one. It impossible to please +40 members at once. There is no wrong or right on this. Just different opinions.

why not have a poll? :P instead of just using this blank theme? :P even i can say that you should revert back to that because some people dont like this also and like that more :D

maybe let the members give ideas on some new theme :P let them link us to a new themes and we will see it and whichever theme gets most votes gets chosen...

we should have a theme which atleast all clan leaders or majority of clan leaders like and then it should come to members...previous theme was liked by me and you and everyone i can see...but this one...well i dont like it...not talking about dark and light here...but its just tooooo blank...its not clean...its empty....its like all the furniture has been removed from the room and then calling the room tidy and clean :D

We should have a little icon/bar in the bottom of the page which you can switch the forum theme to grey/dark...etc.

Last time you updated the forum, you didn't do that, why should we do that now that I update the forum?

we should have a theme which atleast all clan leaders or majority of clan leaders like and then it should come to members...previous theme was liked by me and you and everyone i can see...but this one...well i dont like it...not talking about dark and light here...but its just tooooo blank...its not clean...its empty....its like all the furniture has been removed from the room and then calling the room tidy and clean :D
Like I said before there was things I also didn't like about the old theme, I didn't like it 100% but I didn't complain about it or asked for you to change it to an older one. And you should not say that everyone liked the old theme because you can't know that for sure, X_94 for example mentioned that he like this new theme more but disliked the logo. So like I said it's hard to get people to like every single thing about the theme, there's always going to be things they don't like. And why do you say things have been removed, which things?  it's still all here, just looks cleaner and not so dark.

yes and thats why I am saying that have a poll...there are people who like this one and there are people who liked the earlier one...

maybe let the members give ideas on some new theme :P let them link us to a new themes and we will see it and whichever theme gets most votes gets chosen...

if someone had asked me to i would have but nobody did but now I am

  that was your choice that you didnt say anything about it, I always had asked you for your opinion regarding things...if you didnt tell me something, how would i know it...it was your choice that you didnt ask me to change some stuff but accept it anyways and it isnt that if you arent doing it then i also shouldnt.

And about the blank thing on this theme well you can have a look around at various themes, be it something simple like the default theme or some too hi fi theme....they all have a feel of being complete and can be used at suitable situation...but this its totally blank and almost makes me feel the forum images are still loading.... plus the colours really hurt my eyes, previously it was just those names, ranks and all those bright colours but now even these quotes in posts kinda hurt my eyes...


anyways here are some themes i selected, they are bright and i guess you can change their red/orange/blue/etc etc colour to purple/pink...they are well bright and look so complete.... use any of them and i wont utter a word  ;)

these are some simple ones here which i kinda like but not totally
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1998
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=600
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1752
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2701 ( this one is similar to the current one but it has different background and header and footer which makes it complete)
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1311
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2511
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2374
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2328
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2494
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2231 ( looks stupid with all that blue but it has nice big space for header so we can nicely use that and ofcourse change all that blue colour)


these are my personal favourites:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2620 (definately check this out)
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2670
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2412
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1436

lol FaF I always told you about what I didn't like on xfire. I told you that I didn't like the membergroup pictures because they were too big, I told you that I didn't like that the bars had that pointy style, I told you that I would prefered if the logo shield had that white border all around it instead of just the part that didn't have that palm tree. I told you all of that and more. But you choosed to do it your way and that's fine I respected that because you were the one who had all the work creating it.

I'm going to do what Hans suggested, it's the best thing to do. I'm going to add an option for people to change back to the old theme if they want to. Although some things are not going to be possible to change individually for each theme, like the board thumbnails, etc..

I did make them small but not as small that they seem useless and barely visible as what the thing is, the border was only on shield because it was part of shield only and the palms were something different...something I cant explain...its like the Vice city in the GTAVC logo isnt same as the Grand Theft Auto.

the pointy thing, I dont remember you telling me something like that...

It wasnt always like I did what I liked, if that was the case I wouldnt have asked anyone for their opinion.

anyways i wont reply anymore, its all upto you to do whatever you wish to.....
