New Updated Style

[AWS]

I was a few revisions behind on the style we used as the default for the site. Because of that it became bloated as I added new stuff for new features and never removed the old. I decided to install the newest version and scrap the old. For the most part it isn't much different. There is a new logo, but, colors are basically the same. It should load much faster because for 1 it isn't bloated and 2 it has less images and images that are used are compressed.

 

Also you'll notice that there are no more banners for staff. Instead you see a shield next to the usernames.

 

Another noticeable change is the way the posts look. The user info which used to be on the left is now on top of each post. This makes everything look much better and neater.

 

Before the end of the weekend or Monday at the latest I will be upgrading the red style. For now I'm leaving it on until I get the replacement done.

I like the new look and I definitely think the pages are loading faster.

I have now turned on the new red style as an alternative.

 

For those that think the there is either too much blue or red in the 2 styles I will add an alternative with no background color. Since the new style is modular it only takes a few minutes to change things.

 

Thanks to all of you for putting up with me while I did this upgrade.

Damn it I like the new red a lot! Now I don't know what I want.

[AWS]

That's what I like to hear. :clap:

I like the EXTS Base but what is the UI-X logo can you put the regular logo on this?

[DSTM]

Tried both, Bob.

I will stay with the blue.

On the red skin the darker red is too dark for me.:)

That is just the base style. No one has access to it except us.

I was going to go with a lighter red to replace the dark. I tried variations and the darker color seemed to work better.

OK thanks for replying, Bob.

I like them both but I'll probably stay with the blue for awhile.

There was nothing to put up with, Bob. I felt as if the upgrade was seamless. :clap:

My thoughts exactly I was hoping you use a lighter red but I do really like the dark red...did not expect to.

I guess I'll have to agree with everyone. As Dougie said "I'm out numbered"

:boohoo:

OOPs!!

[DSTM]

I like both skins but for the dark red. On the index page the dark seperations seem to distract from what I am trying to read.

I guess we can get used to anything.

 

I am staying with the blue.

It's a lovely skin, Bob and thanks for all your hard work.

Much appreciated:)

Hi Bob. Wondering if you could take the dark red to 990000 and see how it looks in contrast. Thanks :)

That's what the light red is. There would be no contrast. I'll experiment with it.

[DSTM]

OK Bob That's right, my bad. That is the light html code. Sorry.

I was tired when colour picking.:)

 

I am reading the present codes as Dark 660000 light 990000
