Kosheh Makes Forums Pretty

[Kosheh]

hi hello. it's me, kosheh :0) I'm using a pretty sweet forum theme that I wrote up for VGR and it's pretty neat! and I'm gonna share it soon! (not the code tho yet, ill do that like tomorrow)

If you want to see the cool new addition, just scroll some more until you see the big, centered text.

Apart Bohemia


Apart Bohemia's basically a homage to our old friend. You know who I'm talking about. )':
It's got a nice medley of blues that allow for a cool reading experience. It's like applying AXE in highschool, but to your eyes.

Apart Dark


This one's simply a remix of the default Apart themes, with a darker spin on them for those who prefer darker themes, but can't as easily get behind BoHeGeHa. It's a serenade of dark colors, with fancy text shadowing to make the stark contrast of light-text-on-dark-background a little more managable.

Now, you probably won't see those skins for a little while, because I'll deliver the source to the sheet after...things happen. You know, things that should happen on VGR.

---

Now, here's the reason I made this topic: I got a little more creative (okay, not by much lol) and created~~

Apart GB
(but you can call it "monochrome baby" if you like)

Apart GB's basically a simplied version of one of the few AAA theme ideas I had for TSR years ago, but I was somewhat concerned that I couldn't pull it off due to the Afresh series' multiple use of images in category heads, etc. and was reluctant to create new themes for the forum (and instead simply just plopped completely themes into the database)

EDIT: I'm the most defensive about this theme now. ):
This is now going to be used for a not-so-secret project. It's got a lot of work to go on it (I haven't even started) but once it gets off the ground, you'll definitely see this theme rear its head in one forum or another...just not VGR, sorry!
* And obviously it's not gonna have the VGR logo lol

It's still in need of some work, though - it still needs buttons (but if anyone wants to contribute, they're welcome to help I guess - I'll make a project thread in the spriting forums if you guys are for it - reply and let me know!) but I've got pretty ambitious hopes for this one!!

Code:

Reserved for forum code

Will post Q&A here - but I kinda have things to do and I'll type it up later.

i'll be answering things like "Why does this look so much like the VGR themes we have now?!" here!

Future theme ideas:

- VGR/DYKG mashup theme?
- Ideas? Suggestions? Color palettes preferred?

I had never even considered a GB themed theme

Thats like possibly the best idea ever

Posting to change my mind on something - Apart GB's been absorbed into another project I'm working on, so sadly you won't see it here. Sorry! ):

I seriously don't know if VGR could handle that much grit and blood.

Looks extremely good. If we could install this on VGR I'd be very, very happy.

You can actually install it if you wanted to, Gors - simply upload the included XML and repoint the theme to use The Spriter's Resource series of templates (might be labeled "Apart" in the admin CP. I WOULDN'T KNOW, HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN A WHILE LOL)

I originally was working on adapting all of these themes to use Stylish, so you had a Greasemonkey-style dynamic template over the forums.
However, the theme "fights" with the other sheets and tries to establish its stupid supremacy over the other ones, going and pasting the code over css3.css (kind of obvious what that's for?) instead of global.css (which is what all of these themes are - rewrites of those as it's been stated by staff *coughpetiecough* that they can't be straight-up new themes) It actually messed up my browser SO BAD I uninstalled it in favor of just working on these within Firebug instead (and the nice thing is, staff can literally paste these into the admin CP and they should work!)


Fun fact: When I was admin I was working on a theme similar to DYKG's that would rotate monthly.

...but now I'm not admin.
welp

It's okay! You'll see it pop up

in my project

In a bit of good news to everyone, I've

managed to get Stylish properly working. It still bugs out occasionally, but I'm currently using it to debug additional parts of my themes.

However, don't get too excited yet - I'm not going to divulge the three above themes just yet as that would require me to spill the source...

so I guess I can take requests, lol.
If you guys can manage to efficiently crowdsource an idea and bring it up, I'll work on making it (if it doesn't already exist)

**However, it should be noted that I'm basically reskinning the Apart themes.
Yes, that's what I've been reduced to )':
But you probably won't see themes otherwise if I attempt to completely remake themes (as staff has said they won't consider themes that require different templates)

Look on the bright side through - I've practically recreated BoHeGeHa, so there isn't much that'll completely stop me
