GSF Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 The new skin is already functional! Go here! -------------------------------------------- I'm working on the templates for the remake of the old phpBB skin. Until now, a button style hasn't been decided yet, and I have three types, so first of all, please vote for the one you prefer. The others will probably be used in alternate skins... (I can't add a poll, what the hell?) Anyway, here we go: Type 1 - Type 2 (more like the buttons in Smidge's pack) - Type 3 (classic look) - As the skin gets updated, I'll put some previews when they're available. EDIT: Here's an image showing each type in the forum skin itself: re-EDIT: Instead of posting and reposting, here's the counter: Poll closed, #3 wins! I'll make a slightly rounder version with less blurry text so it blends better. #1: |||||| #2: #3: ||||||||| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, first sneak peek! The IM, reputation, report & IP (staff only) icons are finished. Now, time for more suggestions: How should rep look like? (The icons that show current rep, not the rep button) 1-Just some green/red squares similar to the current ones, but with better blending 2-A bar with the 'rep' text and a tiny colored gauge to the side (similar to the one in the sneak peek) 3-Emeralds 4-Rings? 5-Suggest your own! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Second update - Jan 15 I narrowed the rep icons at two different styles. The screenshot below shows the four color varieties, which are Positive, Negative, Neutral and Rep Off, respectively. OK, time for more voting. Which do you prefer? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Third update - Jan 26 The final button design is ready, but Photobucket seems to be... screwed somehow. I can't access it now... So I'll upload later. EDIT: Now it works again, phew. Alright, check Page #8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Have to say I like the third one personally, I dig the little checkers in the middle. edit: First one is really good too, actually. Hard to say which one I prefer. Great job by the way, I'm glad someone is willing to do this for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 No prob, it's fun to make skins (in most cases, heh) Weird thing that I can't make a poll... well whatever, I'll manually count. EDIT: Added a guide image above, to make decisions easier. So, what's your choice, Rael? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LT Worm Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I like the first one. It seems more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Third one fits the skin best, but it's a little diffused for my taste, so I say Type 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Either 1 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 No prob, it's fun to make skins (in most cases, heh) Probably because we will actually use this skin. Unlike sooooome Sonic forums...hahaha... Oh, and my vote goes to number three. Like I said on AIM last night, we all really appreciate you taking the time to de-suck our forum skin. It has been a long time coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Thanks for the comments Alright, multiple vote is allowed, then we got: Type 1: |||| Type 3: ||| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I like number 3, just wish it was a tad rounder. Still, as the other mods have said, thank you for responding to my angry whims. Its about time SFGHQ reestablished itself among the community. A shiny new forum skin is one of the first steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Woo, tie. I'll make a slightly rounder version if #3 wins, then. #1: |||| #3: |||| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cstyler Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I like the third one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 First... (I was going for second, but nah...) EDIT: Wait, did my suggestion for the "mix the dark water theme with the other theme" win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayling Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yet one other thing that makes gsoft awesome. Oh yeah 3 rounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Updated... still on a tie. dnlhern: Well, sort of... but the skin will be totally different though. First page has a small section with a preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I like number 3, just wish it was a tad rounder. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenor Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Third.. Well, I'm not really sure which I choose between #1 and #3, but I think #3 gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Emerald Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'll have to say #3; it has the most "business" look to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 OK, #3 wins! But I'll make it rounder and tweak the text a bit. Anyway, update: Sneak peek 1 added, and now it's on rep appearance. Details in the first post, below the sneak peek. What's your suggestion on rep? (Referring to the 'green square' icon, not the rep button) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenor Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I think the current reputation icon looks fine as it is, so I'm going with the first option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSF Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hey gsoft, can you put Fangaming Specialty and Current Project in there? Uh, the screenshot there comes from a modified Sonic Deck Dark Water skin, and SD didn't have these things. Still, I can just put that in the HTML file. When a new skin is created through this board's ACP, the templates from the default vB theme should be imported. Then, with slight tweaks in the templates SFG Specialty can be displayed, and also Current Project, the custom field that isn't displayed right now.) EDIT: Done, now updated with a possible final appearance (except for the rep gauge.) Also, what do you suggest for the rep gauge appearance?
