Title: Red Crosses
Post by: Tom on December 09, 2007, 01:16:47 PM
I'm now getting red crosses x on the main front page... is anyone else or is it just me?

Someone's faffing about with it. (Not me I hasten to add). The colours have changed for me.

Added later...: Quite a lot has changed now. It's looking quite good. Not sure about the shi brown colour scheme...

How do we know? It'd take an eternity to find that out.  ::)

What's wrong with brown?

Post by: Tom on December 09, 2007, 02:02:29 PM
Y'know, you blink, look back and the whole world is different!

I quite like the new feel... and I'm not seeing any red crosses x  any more!

Haven't you heard? Some CDs have gone missing, there's the Northern Rock crisis, Illegal donations... He's getting a lot of flak from the Tories.

Have the colours changed again?
Title: Re: Red Crosses

Yes, Peepmaster made me change them and now they've gone stupid. It's all his fault.

It's a work in progress.

I knew the peaceful forum was too good to last.

You asked what was wrong with brown, Mince. What's wrong is that it looks like an undercoat!

Like the new look on the main page but not the crappy brown colour, it matches my t-shirt.

He does not know what a undercoat is.
Not D.I.Y compatible

Colin, seeing that you have a lot of time on your hands, would you like to change the theme colours yourself? (You will need to know how to change style sheets and images.)

How do I do that then?
I have a forum that I run myself and I would like to change the colours on that.

I can use PS, but never heard of Style Sheets.  :-[

Are you okay with RGB and HSL colour values?

OK, I dont want the job.
Title: Re: Red Crosses
Post by: Mince on December 09, 2007, 06:48:02 PM
RGB = Red Green Blue; HSL = Hue, Saturlation, Luminance; they are on all colour pickers. Usually you would lighten the brown colour by increasing the luminance.

Yes I know all about that stuff.

That's all style sheets are about. Each element of the forum has a style (fonts, colours, backgrounds). Just Google them to find out how they work.

Here is the whole style sheet for the current theme:



/* Normal, standard links. */

Yes, it's not the degree of luminance of brown we want tweaking, Mince - it's the friggin' colour itself.

I thought your style-sheet code was another of Peter's poems at first.

We need to change the yellow background image first. Perhaps a blue background would work.

No, it isn't. You just need to change a few images and the colours in the style sheet. But I don't have the time.

Okay, anyone who wants to design their own theme with either the BROWN or BLUE as a template, I can create an extra theme that you can play with to your heart's content (with FTP access) without affecting the main BROWN (and BLUE) theme. As you alter each piece of the theme by FTP upload, you can see how it changes there and then.

I, personally, would be happier if you did it for us. We could then vote on it. If they're all bad, you get voted off at the end of the week. A bit like "I'm Strictly Mince-Factor, Dancing - Get Me Outa Here".

Now there's a background consisting entirely of a Roger caricature multiplied a thousand times.

There's nothing wrong with pale violet or avocado, you know. At least I'd be able to read the TEXT.

You cannot put it back to the original style.
