Well, if you want to keep it for the rest of October in celebration of fall and Halloween, then that's cool and not a problem. I think a dark/black theme can work if you edit the source files a bit much like I did with my forum. Work with it enough and it can look quite nice. I prefer a darker theme personally as it's easier on my eyes, but the whole red and gray sort of became IMT's theme colors. It's up to you though as it is your forum and you may do as you wish. I support whatever decision you make on what the forums look shall be.
It's only an October thing.. our real colors will be back in November... maybe. >:D

Well, I hope so. Those new colors aren't bad, but I miss the old theme. :( It's like a good friend going on vacation...

I think it looks awesome plus its a theme to celebrate October and Halloween which happen to be my birthday so why wouldnt the forum be awesome for a theme dedicated to Halloween??!?^^(PM)^
Plus this theme helps me track down white areas in my avy that i didn't see the first time.
It would be cool to have the theme of the forum related to certain holidays of the month.

I think this looks cool, but maybe a bit of black and orange would be more better to fit the Halloween theme.
Weare in Symbiote mode right now ;)

I see your a fan of One by Metallica :P
A little more orange would make it a bit more Halloweenish, but regular members names are orange so that fits with the theme.

For me the Orange & red names blend too much at the bottom of the forum. It's tough for me to instantly spot an admin online. Maybe it's just me, though
It's just you. If you are using a computer monitor, try to adjust the color level some. maybe less saturation. :-??

I use that feature a lot and if it lets you correct little mistakes when creating it(something i sometimes do,but now i have to delete the thread and start over)

Just a little something i noticed:Why can't post starters edit a thread's title anymore?

Because I wanted to make sure someone earlier understood the rule about deleting your own topic being a NO-NO. Anyway, I reinstated that permission so all should be good now.

I hope it was only reinstated for mods .
Anyway , my earlier comment. I think it's just my work computer. The LCD monitor is kind of old & the colors aren't right.

o.O# then why even make this topic to begin with :-?? kinda asinine.
i do prefer this look though.

I look for feedback because I am on the fence about making this an alternate theme (where you can select a theme other than the default IMT theme) in the future. What's asinine to you is not to me.

I am partically very fond of this new semi-aggressive charcoal black October look. My vote is to hopefully have it remain this way past Halloween.

i agree with rage.i liked the black theme and it made avatars and sigs stand out more since some effects were more visible

Wat about multiple themes? Was them a programing issues with that? Like you have to program each theme. Can you just copy and paste code?
Post by: xPreatorianx on December 27, 2009, 04:25:36 PM
That's why for my forum I never go above one theme. Well besides the software default. It's just easier to code with one theme.
Also I agree on the black BG. That is one of the reasons why I switched to darker themes. It makes effects from different art stand out more. So you can appreciate the art more.

Digging the fireworks, Ex!!!! :thumbsup:
Thanks. ;D That banner seems to go seasonal now. :-??

@Rage, the problem with multiple themes is that you have to code more. So say Ex installs 5 mods. Well now he has to install 10 mods. 5 on the first theme then 5 on the other. Its basically double the work.

It's complicated and I heavily modded as this forum is, I don't want to have to code in each mod into a new theme. It isn't that I don't like the dark look, I actually prefer it, but these colors are our traditional colors and you really can't change tradition too much you know?

why is there a ugly picture in the upper left side of my screen that says deviants where the stars should be. That thing is hideous.

Post by: Spidermew on January 01, 2010, 01:24:35 PM
Even on different comps and connections the animated IMT banner seems to slow down the loading of the forum itself. Its not just the new years one either. Its like its the first image to load then everything else starts to show after. Smilies are seriously slow loading too.
* I am changin browsers and comps at random too but even still :-??
Are you chaning internet service providers? Im on Time Warner and I get no lag from the banner.
