Look at Site Feedback!

I'm a Traditionalist, still like default best. :D
But the Yellow/Green thing is not bad...

You have the possibility to change the colour of the layout of your screen in blue, green/yellow.
See the threads in Site Feedback for further details. ;)

Personally I stay with red.

I liked the Skin Style which only made a brief appearance recently. The white text versus a silver background kept my eyes glued to the screen for hours, since it took hours to read a line or two of text.

Skin style sounds a bit racialist...
Why aren't there any non-militaristic styles? The glorification of violence is getting a little out of hand...

The blue one is great, a lot better than the default one IMO :D

I like a blue one alot. Different forum styles are a great idea.

EDIT: Hey TF put the buttons back on the top of the posts! I thought it was pretty cool having them on the bottom...

because I just like the color blue, I find the Blue/SDI-style the nicest :goodjob:

edit: spelling

The default style is actually very nice. If I remove the background image and give it a better looking forum logo, that style will look alot neater! :)

Having looked at them, I am sticking with the default. Actually, it fits in with my computer's color scheme quite well. :) The others are quite nice, and I'm glad others like them, but for me, the default is still the best.

I'm still trying to decide. I did not really like the green and yellow one. I thought it was too sickly. :p Kind of reminded me of some colours I'd see in a hospital. :)

I'm tying out the blue one though. So far I think its ok. However, I'm a traditionalist. I'll vote later. :)

edit : I was going around the forum trying out the blue style and I lef for a few minutes. I came back, hit the "Back" button (ie 5 although that may change soon ) and it went to the default one. Any ideas why?

I like the default, of the 3. But blue is nice (though too bright in this current iteration), so I've have uploaded some new icons for you TF (in the suggestions thread) for an example.

You created this poll a little early, cuz I just added a new style dubbed Pale White!

I'll add the new option to this poll. :)

This is because the quick style changer on the forum main page changes style via cookies and doesn't modify your choice in the database. If you want a more "permanent" solution, you need to change it via User CP.

I like the blue. It could be MORE blue, but I like it anyhow. But what I don't like is the blue scheme's banner. The SDI thingy looks ugly to me. :p I mean, it doesn't HAVE to have an image..... :crazyeye:

I kinda like the image, but it would be good to have a different one.

I'm using them all but I favor pale white and green/yellow the best. My overall vote was pale white. I am going to switch between them every week and restart that every 4 weeks so that everything stays nice and fresh looking.

Octavian X
Aug 15, 2002, 10:42 PM
You actually want to switch? After about a week, I'll never consider changing from the on I voted for, pale white.

Though it's nice to be able to choose your forum style I'm still going for default. In my opinion it just fits this site best.

Well Pale White was interesting but the new post icons seemed to behave differently so I'm trying blue now.

Pale white is boring,Yellow/Green pains me,so I go with SDI-style.

I shall reserve judgement until the purple version is released in patch 2.43.
However, I would like to say that everyone is getting all excited about different colours and not doing the vital spamming that keeps these forums alive! This is probably a good thing, all told. :)

I like the Pale White, but personally am impressed with the potential of TF's blue, if an at least desaturated, and maybe lightened option is made. Great kudos to TF for developing & deploying several themes (skins) so quickly! :)

The purple version might never come. The purple graphics zip I downloaded is missing lots of images. :(

You can do it either via the forum main page's style changer, or via the user CP --> Edit Options page.

I'm sorry if everone took "skin style" like i'm rascist or something. It proves my theory that everyone always tries their hardest to find the worst thing possible in a simple statement.

It's safe to say that whoever said the wording is rascist have never used WinAmp. :)

Of course the SDI-blue defence style is cool. Are my posts now protected from nukes from other members?

I will take all the SDI-designers to court and will demand 250 mil dollar for being contaminated from forum members. Than with so much money in my pockets I will buy Civfan and take over this whole forum afterwards I will be the great Overlord of this site and everybody has to admire me.
