this pic is the main blue bars acidmods uses. I need them to be acidmods blue which is #243367 You must zoom way in on the edges of the picture, the bars in the origional have some rounded corners and some square corners. the background needs to change to black. this includes the corners of the bars.
-

1. 000 black
2. light black
3. light black

fixed again.
[admin]blue is not dark enough[/admin]
-
header bars, this image repeats across the page, these two images are what are needed for the color change theme if you wanted to try other colors. but we need am blue right as it will be default
-
try this one...
[admin]accepted as current[/admin]
-
we could create the image, and apply it as a single image, but it could restrict the theme from stretching and filling 90% of the page. the forum would be in a fixed box
here is the complete img pack. take these pics, and change the blue to color of choice. please provide the color code (if possible) so I can change the bars and accents to color of your theme. for the theme changer. we WILL have a theme color changer on the new site so we are not limited to the default blue
[admin]not complete see below[/admin]
-
we need to take the shading off the buttons (reply, add poll, notify, etc) I wil find and attach the image
I think that bottom line may be coming from there also. the bottom section is fine, but the bars look bad because the forum shrinks the image as needed. lets try them all black. There is also some kinda border around the bars also, lets try one with it in all black, and one without...hell throw a few options up and we will try them until we like one.
I fixed the bottom line, it was a bad line of code on the image, not to fix the shading on the image itself...help
-
Here is all black menu. I will submit some more samples on this...
I will go ahead an create a red theme and a green theme, if you like and want to use cool.
[admin]these have rounded bottom two bars, not goodsorry that was my coding error, they need to all be rounded[/admin]
-
I don't have a program to make .zip so I will attach images.
[admin]these have blue bars showing underneath the red/green bars in the backdrop, the main block red image has a bar with a green tint that is not super pleasing[/admin]
-
I can open them in rar.. I just can't make .zips.
I redid the banners to match...
I forgot to change the bottoms of the images with gray on them . You had wanted black on the blue one. But lets see how these look before I make changes.
green fades to black from 23ba00
the red fades to black from 920000
[admin]these are all fine[/admin]
-
Now the red..
[admin]these are all fine[/admin]
-
I need these images redone
make the new button to match each theme color
make the expand and collapse images theme colored on black background
-
here is another image
-
All done...
first the green , then the red.
[admin]these are all fine[/admin]
-
Give me a few minutes for personal stuff and ill be right on it.
here you go, i fixed the bottoms of the main block, also I noticed there was some green left on one of the bars on something.. Thats gone now too.
I'm not sure if this is how you wanted it squared, but it looks nice to me. I never even noticed that the originals were square , or maybe I did and my brain said just fix it to match the rest.
I think the new_none should stay gray, but color the AM. so just the outer ring lights up red/green with new post?
EDIT: new backdrop here and a few other fixes...
backdrop_bg
menu_gfx
both fixed.
what do you think about purple?
-
I was thinking about a purple, I like the purp too. Maybe later I'll make a purple one. But Matt will have to match all the lines and stuff to the purp too.
Matt I redid the Menu_gfx , thats where the blue lines were, but do you want me to round off the bottoms again?
I'll add those other icons to the packs... be ready in a few.
-
in reply #8 above, the backdrop_bg has blue lines in the red image, and the menu_gfx should all be rounded. (it was a code error confusing me)
-
purple code = d004fc
Here is the purple set.
-
more purple...
-
ok so I have been thinking about the blue bars at the top of the forum and trying to round the ends. I have made a test in paint that may work, i cut the backdrop down to 384px from the top and pasted it on top of the bottom section of the main block.
test this for me so I can see how it looks.
only working on the far bottom section of the image. continue the bars across the bottom image of the main block, be careful to align the bars correctly and round off the ends of the bars
-
ok.
One more thing, can I make a personal theme? I will stick to the size and over all shape of everything. I would like to make a metal, Flame , skull theme.
Also check the backdrop 's on all of them as I redid them.
-
you may make what you like while we are testing on the test site. when Robin gets back we will pick the few best themes to integrate with the real forum.
I made notes on this green image posted above need to fill top bar, and round corners all ends see pic
-
ok matt.
more after dinner.
-
can you make the backdrop image without the two bars? I think the blue green and red are done. I have zipped and archived the files. today I will do the purple theme and try to get the header bars coded right for the curved logo
-
confused matt, you want all the backdrops redone w no bars?
-
just do this one, take the green bars out, keep it the same size just change the bars to match the black. also how is the skull theme coming?
-
I was going to wait till you had all the bugs out and were final on images and then iwas going to use the final images as a base for skull theme... So if you think everything is ready I'll make the new theme today.
still confused... do you want me to black n gray shade the bars or just black them out?
-
I want there to be no bars in the image, just black to grey fade
-
ok brb w it.
-
yep, that green main block image worked, I think we need to copy it into all three colors. the backdrop image will be fine if we just remove the bars and I can use it for all themes.
-
need to redo the backdrop, look at the test site theme green. it needs to be the original image, just cover the bars
-
Give me a few minutes and I'll redo the main block images to match other colors
check previous upload for new backdrop.
-
bump :
-
look at this see if it makes since. I want the header logo and background to all still look seamless. and the content section sitting on top.....this was the intent for the current site we have now.
-
this doesn't do that? https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,39940.msg300140.html#msg300140
-
yea, thats good, missed it. its on the site what you think?
-
this might be what your thinking...
-
yea, thats what i was thinking, but it looked better the first way
-
notes
-
what do think of this ...
Bar not wide enough...
-
its very interesting...its loaded, I can repeat it to fill all the grey.
main block bar is way too big..its up also
-
lol...
I like the all black better.
-
its up
-
OK ill redo the other main blocks to match and i started the metal theme.
new metal main block loaded.
-
more metal
new main block blue above
-
heard some complaints about blue
took some red out of the green logo
-
what color you want the metal text?
-
need color for menu text, hover, title text, link text, standard text.
also your fire image is not aligned at the left. maybe try fire above and below the logo bar, like the bar itself is on fire?
-
menu text = black
hover= fc4f00
title text= black
link text= black
standard text= adaaaa
few minutes on flames stuff
-
the image is no good, a little smf knowledge:
the mainblock is used more than once on each bar or image. it works from right to left....from the center of the image to the right covers 90% of the webpage {at my resolution}, and then the rest of the image is used to fill as the screen stretches for different size screens and resolutions. Finally a small sliver of the far left of the image is applied to the left edge of the display area to round out the corners.
this function limits the way images can be used for certain things, but this shortcoming is made up for by not having a fixed width.
you can put the flame in the logo using the same principal the lightening does. that will make it static image, but will be centered on the screen. the z-index places the logo ontop of everything
-
change blue and purple main blocks to these found here.. https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,39940.msg300164.html#msg300164
to hot in office done till after dark
-
done, I had to back them up in the original format as final before I changed the images. the main block is the same image, the coding changes to change show it differently. and the background changes. so now I have both versions of all themes.
-
Last try w flames.
New stuff below.
-
matt bump.
-
Nice job on the banner pic with the flames shows up good with the black.
-
sorry, I was out of town all weekend. I will get them posted this evening when I get off work.
-
NP Matt, just wasn't sure if you were aware they were ready.
-
metal looks good, the menu needs work though. see notes
-
At first you dont succeed...
-
At first you dont succeed...
Damn now that is awsome nice job there 1 Ton Pete ....lol or should i say old denali...lmao
-
lastly can we try this menu graffix
-
can you resize these images to 260px in width? I do it in paint, but the background needs to remain transparent.
nothing needs to be done to the cbar at this time
-
Here ya go, you should get paint.net its not as good as photoshop but its free :)
