A Q&A with Jadster and Lucky!
Questionnaire:
What do you think of the new theme for XenGuruBB?
Personally, it's overused. I like how you changed the colors of the category headers, but that's the only customization's you've done to the theme. To distinguish yourself and make XenGuru something different, I think making the theme a little bit more yours by editing more than just the headers. Maybe look over some XenForo tutorials for customizing a theme or add things that haven't been used a lot and just make features unique to XenGuru. Other than that, the theme looks clean and professional.
What do you feel should be fixed or edited
The biggest thing that caught my eye was the lack of content prior to opening, which is a big pet peeve for me. Prior to wiring this review, a community guideline thread wasn't posted, but the community was online, that's not right. Another thing that I noticed was the amount of categories there are in comparison to the posts or content needed for them. A lot of those can be condensed and cleaned up a little. Having too many categories and no posts to support them makes your board look like a ghost town, which is the last thing you truly want for a new board. The names for the forums are also really generic and don't bring any uniqueness to XenGuru, which is plain and again, the last thing you want for a new forum. Try naming them something that is different and catchy, it may look better.
What do you think of the colors for each individual category?
I like the idea of being different, but it doesn't do much in the sense of making the theme custom because the rest of the theme is stock Audentio. I think if you were to change some other aspects of the theme and keep the different color categories, you would have an awesome theme. Something I am doing on my site is adding my sites blue color to black headers using the "border" class and it just changes things up but still keeps the flow.
