New TWC Today theme!
« on: June 11, 2010, 01:56:22 AM »
I’m pleased to announce a new, customized  TWC Today theme for the forums!

I found a free theme developed by another guy that I downloaded and customized. You can apply this theme by going to your profile settings > look and layout > change theme, and all the way at the bottom, select use this theme. I am also going to develop a red version for Storm Alert mode. Questions and comments are welcomed.

NOTE: For some reason, all the user badges aren't working at this point. I'm looking into it.
Also, gonna have to work on the logo to make it bigger, but that shouldn't be hard.

Love it, Tyler. User badges are fixed. I will work on optimizing the rotating logo for this theme in the next few days. I've already begun the conversion process with the main logo and modified the necessary CSS file. I will work to make the current logos a little more, how do I say this... "gray friendly"...

PS: Might I suggest making the "no new posts" image a lighter shade of gray? It's a bit confusing, making me think there's new posts when there aren't, as only the bottom part of it changes when there's new posts.

PPS: Here's your requested image (again, courtesy of the original creator, Jonathan):

Nice job on the theme, Tyler!

Update:  I spotted one minor error in the theme when I view the board guidelines.  I end up seeing the link chain of "TWC Today/TWC Classics Forums » Board Guidelines » Board Guidelines" repeated twice.  Someone just needs to delete that duplication on the board guidelines page.  Thanks!

That's an easy fix. I'll add it to my list.

I see what you mean, but I can't seem to find the error. I'll keep  looking.

:thrilled:

But the gray text at top is a LITTLE too dark for me. Can you go into the CSS and change that? Thanks! :)

The scrunched avatar issue should be fixed.
