What Do You Think About This Theme?

[Fait]

Hey,

Im trying to customize a mybb theme here is what i have done so far, http://admintalk.net

Can you tell what you think about it and improvements i could make

Thanks 🙂

There are not many to good themes in the mybb database but ive dont ok so far

Its good but i don't like that green background color so far.

1) If you have same background for body and container, then don't use a border for container.
2) thead height should be greater than tcat height to make it look good.
3) It would look more good if you switch thead and tcat images.
4) The link color isn't so good.

And overall you should make the theme look modern instead of making it look older (those kind of design is popular few years back, but not now).

The guy whose theme you used as base got banned from MyBB community for copying images from other theme to build his theme. So it won't be a good idea to use his theme as base. Try building your theme from default MyBB theme.

Ok, changed it how about this theme

 

[kavin]

I don't see any change.

Ops forgot to set as dafult try now 😀

1) Increase container width.
2) For a darker theme, body and container color should only differ slightly.
3) Use a different image for tcat.
4) Customize menu and welcome block.

Intended as constructive.


Something that dark does not feel welcoming to new users.

The blue graphic looks a little tacky and doesn't match the rest of the theme.

You need some padding on the left and right, it doesn't look right having things like the icon legend and powered by all pushed up against the border.

Càn yous recomend some decent themes that are good to customize on a webmaster forum


And supportforums uses dark and there going great

 

[karoshio]

You could always go with one of the Apart ones. It is very overused in general but it is a very nice theme and has a lot of room for customization.

Why is it in this forum if we're criticizing the theme? wat

What happened to you buying a custom theme?

Anyways if you want a good base for a webmaster forum try these all of which are open source.

http://mods.mybb.com/view/cms-bb

http://mods.mybb.com/view/myblu-1-6

or as already said you could use the apart series as a base,but those are released under the CC license.

I found another good theme for a base
Tell me what you think http://admintalk.net/forums/

It's called Pure

 

[karoshio]

It's nice but it looks like you have already messed things up. The footer being most noticeable.

 

[Fait]

Must of been part of the theme I only modified the background

Going to customize it now 😀

Edit: Forgot to set as defualt try again

 

[karoshio]

A little nicer. I liked the blue and grey one more but that's just me.

 

[Fait]

So what background would go with it?

 

[Geoffrey]

No offense, but I wouldn't be so worried about the theme and think about content and getting activity if I were you. Having nice themes are great, but they should come second (if not third or fourth) on your priority list.

 

[Fait]

Ok, Thanks 😀 but to get activity I need a decent theme otherwise no one will bother joining

What you've got up now looks okay but not the best thing in the world.
