Quote:UPDATE: check my last few posts in this thread to keep track of the updates, so far I'm recoding the template, this is where i've gotten after 20 good minutes of hard work. haha. http://www.detroit.info/forum/ go to page 12 where i started updating fresh again. K thanks

This seems like the only place for this thread, so here goes.
I'll update this as I go along with progress screen shots and links to the Mybb theme i'm designing first, that will eventually be an exclusive mybbcentral.com theme downloadable only from here.

I am somewhat up for peoples input on what they would like to see done with this first theme but I am taking my time here, might be done in a week I guess, not that I have anything better to do but oh well.

I will name this one JERO (my nickname) and it sounds cool no?

My aim; a simple well designed modern dark forum theme. When it’s done I plan to make a few dif colored versions, red/green/orange/purple? We’ll see.

First couple days i'm just going to play with it design wise, then i'll start to code it all up. The design will be a heavily driven css one, with a ton of graphic aspects, having said that it will be lightning fast, no doubt about that.

this morning I designed the Jero logo, keeping it simple yet brandble/somewhat memorable. This is the teal like color i'm going to design with, I may switch if I get bored of staring at it all day later on.


(obviously scaled down)

Round edges, nice solid colors and none of those lame css borders around blocks of white, simple yet sleek roll over effects and so on, so yeah, feedback on things I post would be appreciated.

I'll play around with a nice navigation and all later tonight, we'll see how that goes.

Dunno why i keep going back to the logo, i like it, but...i dunno. picky of me to pick on the damn logo of all things, but i'm like that

That's slick. So far I like it a lot.

A dark theme that's still easy on the eyes...I love it!!!
Can't wait to see how this all turns out.

Just another concept I got...which do you think I should go with? The first one or should I go super simplistic? i dunno...playing with navigation now anyway.

(scaled down)

First one ...much better imho.

Yeah, this looks really great!
Can't wait for it to be released!

first one it is, will try to have the whole thing set up tomorrow design wise and post a preview before i get to coding, just making the buttons and navigation now

Yes!

Yeah i'm going with the first style

Maybe you should keep the second style in mind for one of the other color variations you mentioned
